Bookmarking screen to include 'Note for library' and 'Note for students' fields

It would be really useful to be able to populate the 'Note for library' field (and indeed, the 'Note for students' field as well) at the point of Bookmarking, like we used to be able to do in the old list view. Our academics naturally assume that ...

Change the appearance of the bookmarking screen.

We are finding the new appearance of the bookmarking screen to be very problematic. The item being added/edited no longer previews. This was very useful for librarians when editing the metadata. Bring back the preview. The metadata fields section ...

Ebook cover images

View Later Editions - accuracy

I was wondering if the notes for 'View Later Editions' and 'Newer Editions may be available' could be looked at? To me, 'View later editions' suggests 'newer' editions, but when clicking on the link it rarely links to newer editions. Also, there i...
