Change the message you get when you click on “Library Reserves” for a course which doesn’t have a list. Can this instead say that the course doesn’t have a list instead of “This link is no longer available”

There may be a way to mark as “no list expected”; need to verify that this message is the expected one in this case. Is this expected in student view?

Labels can be changed:

  • citation.noAccess

  • section.noAccess

What should it say instead?
This course currently has no reserve list. If you have any questions, contact your instructor.

 

 

Verify whether issue is resolved

Investigate a better use of tags.

Ideas:

Additional Public Tags:

  • Awaiting patron recall

  • Scanning in process

  • On order

  • Physical reserve

Additional Internal Tags

  • Follow-up (To identify items to come back to a later date. I currently uses the item status "inactive" to mark items that I need to come back to)

9/26/24

  • Get rid of current tags

  • Enable other tags in production

    • public tags visible to all

    • internal tags: library staff only

  • KY to make production changes

    • done

  • Will add other tags as necessary

Make reused digitized books not automatically be marked complete in ALMA

  • DRP item reps not active are showing up as complete after being added to list

  • Students are unable to access because they are inactive

  • All DRP items should not be marked as complete automatically after added to list

  • It should be in Ready for Processing status

  • KY investigate options on digitized books

    • Set citation_digital default to be Ready for Processing

    • Should apply on rollover as well

Confirm changes

(New UI): Writing in “private note” and thinking library can see it.

  • In full item details, there is a private note field that is for instructor use only. Is there a way to change the language in this field to make it more obvious that the data in this field is not going to the library.

  • image-20240926-173058.png

 

Confirm whether language changes are appropriate
  • KY: can we update field description

    • Updated: Private note (visible only to you)

  • Update doc to make it clear that this is not how to use these fields

(New UI): Putting book requests in description fields.

  • In List descriptions and section descriptions

  • Is there a way to change the field titles in Leganto to try to make it more clear

  • Is there a way to limit characters

 

 

  • KY: investigate options for description field limiters

  • Update user doc (possibly with screenshots) to disambiguate fields and discourage use of them

  • Reach out to teaching staff at the end of the semester and remind them of best practices

  • Reach out to teaching staff with link to best practice guide when this happens to correct behavior.

  • Change description text for these fields.

    • “Do not enter reserve requests in this field” instead.

    • Done

(New UI): Complaint about the “Library Discussion” Send button disappearing.

  • When using the library discussion feature, the send button is sometimes there and sometimes not.

  • We can turn off library discussion if it’s not being used.

 

 

Example: https://hvd.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/leganto/nui/lists/102613436990003941

Confirm whether this is still an issue
  • KY: submit ticket regarding intermittent issues with send button.

    • Is this still an issue? Unable to reproduce so it may be resolved.

  • Ask reserves processors if we should turn this off

  • We could add something to the help menu instead

  • If this remains an issue, will follow-up

Public note - no notification so we don’t know if something important was added, like requesting a physical reserve. A tag system would be better.

  • Citation item actions > note for students

  • Teaching staff sometimes put notes in here for library staff

 

  • Is there a report that could be sent that would alert to presence of something in this field?

  • Check analytics- physical item citations

  • Investigate whether field label could be changed to include more direction.

  • KY: look into analytics reports for this field

    • Saved a copy in shared folders image-20241030-144002.png

  • Update recommended workflow doc to ask users to use tags instead for this information.

Receiving notification if a book with a work order on it goes missing.

  • Work order cancel notification not being sent

    • Reserves scanning workorder- staff are marking an item with a reserves scanning WO on it as missing, should send notification to person who placed work order.

 

 

  • KY to check settings and verify

  • If you delete the work order you get the option to send the message. If you mark something missing, this message isn’t getting sent. People processing the pick-lists need to change workflow to cancel work order before marking book missing.

    • I think this is resolved
