  2. prevent instructor from making items available for dates outside the semester dates

    The student won't be able to see the item and the staff client forces staff to "correct" the dates anyways.

  7. 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.

  9. When importing items from another course, retain the custom sort order

    If you clone a course, it retains the sort order. But when a new course is created and then you try to import items from a previous course via the web, it loses the custom order.

  11. Allow staff to decide if copyright information clones with request

    If there is some sort of perpetual copyright license (the World Health Organization says their stuff can be used forever), it is helpful to keep that data when cloning a request.

  12. Allow instructors to search items across courses in web

    Students can search for items across all active courses. Instructors would like to search in this same way. Ideally it would show results for active courses and all courses (possibly below).

  14. 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.

  18. Ability to submit copyright orders in bulk for multiple sections

    If each section has the same article, it would be good to submit it as a bulk request for all the sections at once versus each one individually.
