Alma Digital
Alma Digital (including Digital Reserves) now includes a waitlist feature for objects that are restricted by number of concurrent users. When a patron is blocked from accessing a digital resource because the limit of concurrent users is reached, the patron is given the opportunity to join a waitlist. When a slot opens, the patron is notified that the resource is now available. This feature is still being configured and tested and will be implemented this summer.
