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."

Our library uses Zotero and EndNote, with a pretty strong emphasis on Zotero since it's free.

When a Shared List with physical items is applied to multiple courses, the same item (with the same barcode!) is entered into the Awaiting Reserves Processing queue over and over again, once for each course that contains the Shared List. It would be helpful if hard copy reserve items showed up for the user in each course containing the Shared List, but did *not* fill the staff's queue with duplicate hard copy requests.

Agreed! This would be a big time-saver when contacting instructors about their copyright costs at the end of the semester. Currently, we have to either generate a list of all items with copyright costs and use a Pivot Table to group and total them by course and instructor, or we have to generate a custom course search, filter by Item Count > 0, and manually click through to each course to see the "Current Course Copyright." Both methods are labor intensive and slow.

In the Link Checker, add the ability to mark a URL as cleared/working for the semester. Many of the URLs caught by the Link Checker work properly in regular browsers accessed by humans, but show up persistently as errors in the Link Checker, even after passing them through the Retry process. Since the Link Checker is tied to ItemID, cloned items would still come back to the queue in future semesters, which would ensure that each URL was checked every time it's used.

Another example would be if an instructor tags readings with the full date: Feb 6 would come before Jan 30 alphabetically, but if an instructor could indicate that they were using dates, those fields would sort properly.

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.
