Add "Ready for Paging" status and make available via web Actions menu
Some reading rooms would like the option for patrons to notify staff when materials should be paged, either before or during an appointment/reading room visit. Adding a Ready for Paging status to the web actions menu would allow patrons to submit requests when ready. Like Remove from Hold, this action should be available only when a request is in a specific status - Awaiting Request Processing. There should be a key or other setting allowing sites to turn this option on or off depending on their retrieval process.

This would be a huge help to us, and would allow users to clearly signal which materials they want paged. Currently the only way for them to do that is to add dates and times to requests (which may not always be known in advance, and doesn't necessarily accommodate the flexibility needed to support the research process) or to communicate this information via a staff user.
