Create simple hierarchy in Rightsholder tables
Allow for parent-child relationships in Rightsholder to better manage the relationships that we realistically have with publishers (i.e. better tracking and management of publisher mergers and acquisitions).

Add crosslistings to custom course search results

Using virtual flags with courses
Being able to add a virtual flag to an item is really helpful. There are times when I wish I could flag a course as well.

Also, when courses are cloned ahead of time before the new schedule of classes is published, we sometimes have to change the course code (section numbers) so that our script adds students to the course…

Upgrade cross listings to allow Ares to combine cross-listed courses and sections
Currently, when two course pages are generated by imported course and user data, instructors sometimes must add materials separately for each section. For example, for PHIL/RELI101, some students sign up for PHIL101 and others for RELI101. When this happens, the data generate PHIL101 as one course and RELI101 as a separate course, which means that the instructor must upload the materials for one listing and then for another. There is a similar issue with classes with multiple sections. It would be very convenient if the cross listing feature would set things up so that any action done in one connected…

Show item usage count from custom search
Make it a part of the custom search but not in every grid result in the client.

When viewing items in a course to decide which ones to clone to a new course, seeing the item usage is helpful.

Option for staff to get email when a new item is created
Not at the beginning of the semester (which would overload staff), but later on when items are just trickling in.

This would allow the times to display correctly for each site's time zone regardless of where the SQL server is hosted.
