Copying sections and bookmarks in bulk into another list

This is something we've wanted for quite some time for a variety of reasons: Able to more quickly deal with requests to take two or more lists and merge them together for a new module e.g. where course revalidation results in two 15 credit modules...

The ability to copy and paste an existing bookmarked item or section within the same list or in a different list

Bookmarking screen to include 'Note for library' and 'Note for students' fields

It would be really useful to be able to populate the 'Note for library' field (and indeed, the 'Note for students' field as well) at the point of Bookmarking, like we used to be able to do in the old list view. Our academics naturally assume that ...

When bookmarking books to include ISBNs with 020 |z's in RDA records as well as 020 |a's

A lot of the large record downloads from suppliers and other sources set ISBNs for e-books with |z (used for faulty ISBNs) at the front, not |a's. This is because the ISBNs are not in the actual e-book text (an absurd and pointless cataloguing pra...

Ability to set an institutional level retention period for storage of bookmarks by list editors and creators

We've had a number of problems related to bookmarks over the years, where our list creators and editor have used older bookmarks without checking whether the links work. This is particularly a problem when switching suppliers, such as when Dawsone...
