 Description   

Please note that Duke will develop this additional functionality - this feature does not need to be ranked and is not part of capacity planning. We are only recording it here for communication purposes.

Current situation or problem: The Courses app has an optional LTI feature that can allow you to connect external systems that support LTI (like Canvas or Sakai) to FOLIO, in order to display items that are on reserve for a specific course.

In its initial implementation, we assumed that all items that would be displayed through LTI would be visible in a library's discovery layer. This turns out to not be the case. Libraries often put items on course reserve that are not discoverable, such as faculty member personal copies, print course packs, or course equipment.

This feature is meant to incorporate additional work for the LTI module so that items where the instance is suppressed, and there is no electronic access information, present in LTI without an associated link. That way students won't be presented with a discovery layer link that does not work.

In scope

  • modifications to edge-lti-courses to support display of non-discoverable materials
  • modifications to ui-lti-courses to add any needed settings for configuration of non-discoverable material display

Out of scope

  • modifications to ui-courses or mod-courses

Use case(s)

  • display of information via LTI for faculty member personal copies
  • display of information via LTI for equipment circulation (which doesn't usually have underlying MARC records)
  • display of information for other items put on reserve that are not library-owned or library-cataloged, like course reading packs

Proposed solution/stories

  • extend current functionality of generating links to
    • if the item has an electronic access attribute, generate link with URL (existing functionality)
    • if the item has no electronic access attribute and the instance is suppressed, generate item information without a link (new functionality)
    • if the item has no electronic access attribute and the instance is not suppressed, generate item information with link to discovery layer (existing functionality)
