OCLC Resource Sharing Enhancements

OCLC installed several Resource Sharing Enhancements on Sunday, May 7. These included:

New category of review-in-process - The category of review-in-process was added to WorldCat Resource Sharing. When a borrower prints review requests, they automatically update to review-in-process.
Ability to batch-update without printing - Users can now to hit a button on the batch printing screen of WorldCat Resource Sharing and automatically populate the batch update information for requests that are in the pending or the review status. Users no longer have to either manually key in all request identifiers in these two statuses or batch update while printing. Users click on the "Add all review/pending requests" button and all the request identifiers are added to the box below. The user then clicks on "Update All Categories." This functionality is only available for pending to in-process and review to review-in-process. If there is demand for this in other categories, OCLC will consider a future enhancement.
Ability to print without updating - A new check box now appears on the batch printing page with a check box that will allow users to print pending and review requests and not update those requests to in-process or review-in-process. The box reads: Do not auto-update to "Review in Process" or Do not auto-update to "In-Process." The default remains as it has been, that is, printed requests will automatically update.
