We are finding, when bookmarking ebooks which are not stored in our library catalogue, that the URL is not being pulled through into the bookmark. This is because, upon finding the title not in our LMS, TARL is searching Open Library and pulling the metadata from there. This means the URL is discarded.
It would be great if Open Library searching was optional, and even better if we could switch it off for certain resources (e.g. Acaemic Complete, O'Reilly Safari etc - resources we do not catalogue in our LMS, but activate via our 360 Knowledge base so they appear in Summon)
HI Stephen and all,
We are currently examining all ideas related to the flexibility of Open Library searches for bookmarking.
Regards,
Kate
Hi Stephen. We have reviewed this with our technical team and added to the backlog to assess in 2024. Best, Georgia
Thank you for this suggestion. We will be evaluating this with our development team.
