WorldCat Resource Sharing Enhancements

On Sunday, September 9, two enhancements were installed in WorldCat Resource Sharing:

New search parameters for searching Closed Requests - Users ofWorldCat Resource Sharing are now able to search closed requests by several new search parameters. The new parameters include the following: Author (au:), Borrowing Library (bl:), Call number (cn:), ILLiad transaction Id (tn:), Lending Library (ll:), Patron Department (pd:), Request closed date (rc:), Request identifier (an:), RLG reference ID(rg:), and Title (ti:).

Ability to view more than 20 requests in Request Manager categories – Users can now view more than 20 requests in a category on the same screen in the Request Manager. A drop down box at the top of the list of requests allows users to choose from 20 (default), 50, 75 or 99 records per page. Once the selection is chosen it remains persistent throughout the session. This is available for all categories of requests.
