We would like to have a separate tool for upload of documents into the Ares similar to the EDU for ILLiad.

This would help us reduce the applications our scanning staff need to know (and we don't want to give them access to entries that they might inadvertently change).

Ideally, this tool would allow us to send to a queue of our choice instead of being hardwired to go straight to 'Item Available for Reserves'. This would allow us to proof the documents before they are delivered for courses.

The BatchItemUpload feature still uses the Ares client. I’d like a separate tool where the staff don’t need to ftp anything.
