These are the 10 enhancements that I voted for on your behalf. Thank you for your participation in this year's User Group sessions! 5 ILL Availability Checking Make the automatic discovery process for an ILL request more robust. One approach might be to rather than searching only the first ISBN from the bibliographic record chosen to create an ILL request, during the SSS (searching for additional lenders) the software should search all ISBNs [except for those from subfield Z and excluding ISBNs including "(electronic bk.)" in order to add as many locations as possible to the Lender List. - 19 votes 9 ILL Form Change the calculation of the deadline date to specific due date, renewed to date, etc. - 10 votes 10 ILL Form If a potential lending library is skipped because the item is checked out, have the system include the due date in the History Notes so the borrowing library knows when to retry the request. This is similar to appending the last date closed from the Holiday List to the History Notes. - 14 votes 13 ILL Form Due date missing from the request, so libraries cannot tell when items are due unless lenders write it on the shipping labels. - 17 votes 17 ILL Form Printing Print request on half sheet, not full sheet. - 12 votes 19 ILL Lending Policy For new bib records added to a union catalog or new holdings added to an existing bib record in the union catalog, add two fields to the Lending Policy: Date Added and Period Not Loaned. Have the system compare the date added, and calculate whether the period not loaned has expired. If the date added is 1/15/08 and the period not loaned is 6 months, the lender should be skipped if an ILL request was generated between 1/15/08 and 7/15/08. If the request was generated on 7?16/08 or later, the lender would be added to the lender list. Alternatively, add a "Will Supply After XXXX" to the Reasons in the Will Not Supply. Have an input box for the lender to key in a date after which the book is available for ILL. Have the system read that date if the request goes into Retry - and not send it to the lender if the date has not passed. - 12 votes 46 ILL Request, CBB, etc. Within the AGent interface, library codes are used rather than spelling out the name of a library. For example, Lender List. The codes take considerable staff time to look up. It would be very helpful to display the library name. - 8 votes 51 ILL Status Browse Include shading on every other line on "Shipped" and "Received" and on any page where there is a long list of titles. This feature was available in an earlier version. - 8 votes 52 ILL Status Browse Default lender answer of Will Not Supply should be considered a final answer regardless of reason/condition. - 9 votes 60 ILL Status Browse When updating statuses that have more than one page, permit the staff member to change the statuses on one or more requests on the first page, have the person click Next, make changes on one or more requests on the second page, and then click Submit and have all updated requests changed. Currently, status changes are made on the first page and the staff member needs to click Submit. Then, the staff member clicks the Next Page, makes the changes, and clicks Submit a second time. - 8 votes ------------------------------------------------------------------------
