Move the 'additional fields' button above the Resource lookup field in the bookmarking screen

In the new bookmarking screen the 'additional fields' button takes a lot of scrolling to find and it would be better if it was higher up the page. We would like it to sit above the 'Resource lookup' field, under the 'Link to' button. We've include...

Ability to share/show bookmarks

With the developments happening around bookmarking, we were wondering whether the ability to allow sharing of your bookmarks would be something to be added to that review? We've been asked by our librarians about the possibility for an academic to...

New resource type: book portions; combine two tabs for journal articles when bookmarking

We have feedback from an academic: I have spent more than 1 hour to try to add a book portion (NOT a whole chapter) and still could not add it. So, we would like to see an option to add book portion (as a new resource type) with multiple page rang...

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

At the moment, we can only cut and paste an item within the list however, often academics would like to repeat an item in different parts of the list (especially if divided into sections by weeks). There is no way of doing this. If it is in a pers...

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...

Customise name of Library Search in new OCLC WorldCat Discovery integration

It would be good to be able to customise the name of the Library Search in the new OCLC integration (when you use Add Resource, underneath the user's own bookmarks it's currently called Library Search). We all have slightly different local names f...

Site configurable label text for 'Add Resource' search function

We would like the wording for 'Search by title, author, or ISBN-13' to be site configurable so that it is clear to instructors/staff what exactly is being searched. For instance, a more useful label text for Douglas College might be 'Search OneSea...

Make OpenLibrary searching optional when bookmarking

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 t...
