There's also no indication on the web that reactivated items won't retain their order when they're brought into the new course, so it is confusing and frustrating when carefully ordered items don't copy over as expected.

This would be helpful! At our library we'd still prefer to circulate hard copy reserves in our ILS -- our circ students are already painfully confused that we have a separate circ system for ILL materials -- but gathering the stats all in one place would be great.

Emory is interested in this. We'd specifically like this to show up on the student table, since our instructor table is already pretty cramped.

We track how many items we physically scan each semester, in addition to the total number of electronic items on reserve each semester. However, since many instructors clone their previous classes, it's difficult to determine which PDFs were simply cloned, and which were scanned new. It would be great if the Created Via field (or some other field) indicated that an item record was cloned vs. created for the first time.

Our Scholarly Communications librarians suggest two things. 1) Confirm with CCC that per-click payments would be acceptable; currently, CCC requires enrollment information for electronic reserve requests, presumably based on deals they've worked out with publishers. 2) Define the "pay per click" model. If the same student clicks an item 5 times, does that count as 5 clicks or 1? It seems like the most reasonable model to reflect real use is to count the number of individual people who access the reading, not just counting total clicks. Would that be possible?
My own (non-lawyer) thoughts are that it doesn't seem ethical to switch between pay-per-click and pay-per-enrollment models on a class by class basis, since the library would always choose the cheapest option. If Ares has this option in the future, it should really be enacted (or not) at an institutional level in the Customization Manager.

I have a workaround for this in the meantime. We have populated our Nature of Work field with several different options (Public Domain, Copyright Owned by Instructor, Creative Commons License, etc.). When I determine that an item is in the public domain, for example, I set the Nature of Work to "Public Domain," and uncheck "Copyright Required." With our settings, these won't show back up in the Copyright Queue if they're reactivated. Alternately, you could leave "Copyright Required" checked, and when reactivated items show up in the Copyright Queue, you could sort first by Nature of Work, then select all WHO items and mark them as "Copyright Obtained."
Currently, when a new reading is added to a course where the items are already sorted, the new item goes to the top of the list. I think keeping that same function makes sense -- so whether you're adding a new individual item, cloning an individual item, or cloning a group of items, it/they would go to the top of whatever readings are already in the course.
In my experience, most instructors clone items before making changes or adding new items, but of course it's good to figure out what would happen if anyone deviates from that norm.
Best,
Jenny
