A library reported that they would like to email instructors before the semester begins to remind them to start submitting course reserves items

I've already voted on this on behalf of a library, so I'm adding a comment here for another request for this functionality from a newly implementing library. Faculty are accustomed to being able to share items with each other in their current system. Having to mediate this frequent request for sharing in the Ares client will be a labor-intensive hardship for staff.

Another suggestion is to remove the 'course home' link entirely from 'items to import' table on IRFMenu.html. The only option should be the 'import items' link.

The same is true with futures courses. One of the Ares libraries occasionally runs into a situation where a course for a future semester gets unexpectedly imported into Ares, but the Item Addition Date is not current yet. The same data feed is going into the CMS, so the instructor can click through and access the course in Ares. It allows the instructor to get so far as filling out the entire item form, but when the instructor clicks on the Submit button, Ares tells the instructor to "Please select a course." This is a status message that is coming from the DLL, so it cannot be customized to give the instructor additional info, such as a message to contact reserves.

When items are cloned to a course on the client side, all electronic items go to 'Item Available on Electronic Reserves' and all physical items go to 'Awaiting Reserves Processing.' These queues do not always reflect the processing needs of cloned items, so it would be helpful to be able to route items in bulk from the course record. Right now, there is no Route button in the course record, so a custom search has to be built in order to use the Route button in the Search view.

We have another library asking that instructors be able to choose when to clone instructor tags. This option is available on the clone course page, but most libraries do not clone courses, only items.

There is also a request for the same to happen with course records.

Some libraries are requesting that author, title, publisher, and date be imported.

One library commented that this would make things much easier for the instructors so that they do not have to fill in individual request forms.

Circulation staff need to be able to search by instructor's name and course name, besides just item information.

This is particularly true for the usage statistics report. Usage stats are only available per month. Staff would like to be able to report on per semester, as well.
This would also be helpful for professors and reserves staff to handle permanent reserves. For example, a law professor may have a couple of reference books on reserve, which could all be added to a shared list. Some of his classes might use one or two of the reference books, while his other classes use all of the books. Currently, you can only apply a shared list in its entirety, instead of being able to pick and choose which shared list items go to which class.
