Enhancements to WorldCat Resource Sharing

On Sunday, November 5th OCLC installed the following enhancements to WorldCat Resource Sharing:

Search Box on all Request Manager Screens

Users now have an improvement to their workflow with the addition of the Search Box to additional places in the Request Manger. The search box now also appears at the top of a complete category of requests and when an action has been completed.

Additional LHR data on lender printouts

Lenders that have loaded their local holding information now have a workflow improvement and see complete LHR data on screen and their full-request printouts in WorldCat Resource Sharing. These fields will only appear in WorldCat Resource Sharing for now. We are working to get this into ILLiad, but that will require additional development.

Electronic Delivery address on work forms

Users of WorldCat Resource Sharing and ILLiad now have an appropriate field in which they can note their electronic delivery addresses for Odyssey, Ariel FTP and Ariel E-mail. On staff work forms users have to manually type their electronic delivery address. In the coming months OCLC will add these fields to Constant Data to further automate the process of using electronic delivery fields. ILLiad version 7.2 will include these additional fields.
