Allow for multiple LMS/CMS field-mappings with different params Many sites have multiple CMS/LMS integrated with Ares. Sometimes they require different params to match to important Ares fields.

They're using the userid param for the username, but both Blackboard and Schoology's userid values do not match up to the Moodle user_id.

instructor ability to export more than one citation at a time from web They would like for the instructor to be able to export more than one item citation .ris file at a time - perhaps something like a checkbox could be available in the items grid on the course details page where the instructor could check the items to export, and then click on an export button.

Tracking entries reflect more accurately if the system or staff user initiated that status change In some cases moving an item to one status immediately moves it to the next applicable status. That tracking entry has the staff username versus a "system" username.
