Add a 'Newest Edition' label to Books/Chapters based on metadata

Currently, if we want to indicate a Book/Chapter is the newest edition, we need to communciate this through Notes. It would be very useful if Books/Chapters were automatically tagged with a 'Newest edition' label based on their metadata. This woul...

Add a 'Peer Reviewed' label to Articles/Journals based on ISSN

Currently, if we want to indicate an article/journal is peer-reviewed, we need to communciate this through a 'Note to students'. It would be very useful if Articles/Journals were automatically tagged with a 'Peer-reviewed' label based on their ISS...

Create a 'List Health' function in the list 'Analytics' dashboard

In the list 'Analytics' dashboard there is 'Resource health' function. It would be useful if there was also a 'List health' function, indicating: How long since any resources have been added or removed from the list (not just when the list was las...

★ Enable individual sections on lists to be hidden/visible only to staff

Many of our users would like the ability to make individual sections 'staff view only' aka 'not visible to students' even when the list is published. Hidden sections could be indicated by the standard 'eye-icon' that most users are familiar with. ...

Change the colour of the 'Unpublished changes!' warning bar

Enable multiple timestamped 'Notes' to be added to resources including 'Notes FROM Library'

Enable formatting options in 'Note for student'

Add a 'Copy' option to the drop down, between 'Cut' and 'Paste below'

Unfortunately, adding to or from 'My Bookmarks' to reuse resources does not resonate with our users. Instead they instinctively look for a 'Copy' option to reuse a resource already on a list. Please add the option 'Copy' to the drop down to enhanc...

★ Make the 'Unpublished changes!' warning bar float as you scroll down a list
