Check out feature for instructor owned items Currently, the majority of our physical reserves are faculty copies that we have to add as temporary items to our ILS. This causes all manner of problems for our catalogers and for ILL (as we get a number of requests for these items). However, if Ares had a system very similar to the one in ILLiad that allows us to check in items from other libraries, I feel this would solve that problem. In ILLiad, we check a book from a lending library in using the ILL number, and a slip prints out with our TN, allowing us to scan…

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. For example, one site uses Moodle, Schoology and Blackboard. Moodle is unable to add a custom param that pulls from the database. 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. They're faced with either a complicated username conversion or just allowing users to end up with multiple accounts, one for each LMS. (Luckily they won't have much overlap, but it will probably happen to…

Workaround security issues with edge browser in hosted LMS environment The MS Edge browser has become particularly stringent in enforcing security matters. In particular, when using Canvas (hosted) with an in-domain Ares server through LTI Edge will sometimes refuse to display the Ares interface. This has been confirmed while working with Angela. The workaround to move the Ares server is somewhat undesirable, as is reminding users to use a different browser.

Add crosslistings to custom course search results We include crosslistings in course counts for statistics and it would be helpful to see CourseNumber and CourseCode for crosslistings displayed in custom course search results in the client. Thanks!

Support for addons within the Ares item forms This came up because sites want certain fields like ItemInfo2 to be a dropdown. If they make a whole new addon form/tab it's not easy to see, but we think they could have a section of the request form.

Change item deletion process to be safer and allow some form of undelete/recovery. If a staff user deletes an item, it would be good to have that delete "delayed" until the end of the day in case it needs to be recovered immediately.

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.

TemplateProcessor does not handle parameters that have a right angle bracket The RegEx used assumes the first angle bracket is the end of the tag but it could be a bracket inside a tag parameter.
This was discovered internally and only affects the headers of certain tables if a site wanted to put a link in that text. We will enhance this eventually, but it's not really in the original scope of the tag options.
