Fix the PDF Conversion Failures for resends
When a patron has looked at an unmediated article receive and notifies us of an incorrect item being received the request gets locked and asking for a resend becomes impossible. Each time we get a PDF Conversion Failed. Please allow patron to view their articles and request a resend of an incorrectly or poorly scanned item.

Allow lending staff to set a document type which would modify the due date
For videos etc. the due date is different than standard loans. When the request comes in from OCLC or any other system, we don't yet know what format it is necessarily. But when staff choose that format in the document type field, ILLiad could change the due date to a new value based on a customization key.

Have OCLC search default to serials *and* internet resources by default for journals
Many electronic journals are classified as internet resources versus a serial, so both need to be selected in a search

When creating new users in the staff client, default to electronic notification options
Currently, none of the notification check boxes are checked by default on the new user form. Staff have to remember which of the check boxes to check to set a new user to receive all electronic notifications. It would be good to have a setting that made those check boxes checked by default.

Allow cloned requests to be routed
Option 1: Add a tracking entry that is created before the routing rule is triggered so that the routing rule can reference the tracking table.
Option 2: Create a new menu option of Clone and Route that prompts the staff user to pick the new queue.

Allow ILLiad to receive a renewal request once it has been requested in ILS, so that ILLiad can request the renewal from the lending library
If items from other libraries are checked out to users in the ILS, when that user places a renewal request, ILLiad needs to know about it so it can ask the lending library for a renewal.

Allow borrowing articles to deliver immediately via trusted sender and auto bill the default amount to the user
If every user is always charged $x for an article, there is no reason for staff to mediate those. The billing could be added and the article delivered to the user.

Allow Z39.50 searches to work with servers that don't support unicode
Several Z39.50 servers don't support Unicode or non-ASCII characters. If the ILLiad title has those characters in it, the search returns no results. It may be necessary to replace characters with their Latin equivalent before searching.

Default OpenURL journal genre to article form instead of loan form
Most examples of OpenURL with the "journal" genre are still article requests versus a request for a loan of the entire journal. Data would not be lost if we use the article request form instead.

Allow shared server installations to share a RAPID account (similar to sharing OCLC account)
When downloading new requests, a certain site code would need to be designated as the primary site for receiving those requests. The requests could then be doled out to other ILLiad sites on the server for fulfillment and all would update that same RAPID account.

Ability to remove loan information from web pages.
Many libraries take advantage of NCIP integration with their ILS and thus manage loans (due dates and renewals) directly with their ILS, thus patrons are encouraged not to log into ILLiad web pages to perform those tasks. However, there is no easy way to remove or hide that from the web pages.

Set web session timeout by patron type/status
From customer: We have a faculty member complaining about the web session. We have it set at 10 minutes since so many of our patrons use shared/pubic workstations. Is there any way to individualize web session times by patron type?
