This button recently changed to be more prominent (great) but also to say 'view library holdings' which is confusing because it takes you to the item in the reading list which may or may not show library holdings (for example if the digitisation is supplied via EHESS there will not be holdings). Please change this back to view item in reading list!
This work is tentatively planned for our next theme of work related to Add Resource as heard from Scott Gibbens at last evening’s product update webinar. Recording will be mailed with June newsletter.
I say “tentatively” planned as designs are yet to be estimated, but we do see your interest and intend to address it!
Kind regards
The Product Team
Has there been any progress with this? It is a year since it was brought up
Agree with these comments. The wording is confusing.
Deakin agree, View Library Holdings suggests it will go to the library catalogue. When this change was made, initially our team thought that the functionality to go to the reading list item had been removed.
QUT agree as well, View Library Holdings does not go to library holdings, so it is definitely misnamed
I agree, labelling the button "View library holdings" is an odd choice when it links to list records, rather than library records. Why was it even changed from "View item in reading list"?
Hi both, thank you for your feedback. We will discuss the option with our development team. Best, the Product Team
I'm in agreement with this. If I wanted to check our holdings, I'd go to our catalogue because whoever added the item to the reading list may not have bookmarked it from the catalogue. But I do use this to go to the reading list and view any student or library notes or comments for the item and to see it in the context of the whole reading list. So I would prefer this to go back to "View item in reading list" as well, because that's what the link does.
