Talis Aspire Ideas Portal
Currently the 'Resource type' in the metadata of a resource on a reading list has chapter, article, document etc. There are many times when a list owner requests selected random pages that are not a whole chapter and it is difficult to show that. Include 'Selected Pages' as a 'Resource type' and allow 'Pages' to simply be 'Pages' rather than 'From' and 'To'. Minimising the need to input 2 fields 'from' and 'to' pages to one field 'Pages eg. 1,3,6,9,11 or 1-8 is quicker and will accommodate more varied page selections.
Thank you. With the recent additions that Talis has added to Resource types, these choices ensure the metadata is more accurate. I feel that 'Selected Pages' would still be a benefit to streamline the metadata entry for staff saving time and providing an easily understood field for patrons.
Thank you for your suggestion. We will be revisiting this idea when we start our Bookmarking theme of work early 2024.
