Should title level requests be renamed to instance level requests?
The consensus was that the nomenclature of ‘title level requests’ is industry standard and should be retained. Documentation can clarify that ‘title level requests’ involve FOLIO instances.
How is the conflict between an item level request and a title level request resolved?
Sierra only allows one or the other, set at the server level.
Items with multiple copies should be handled differently then items with multiple volumes. Patrons must be able to request a specific volume of a multi-volume or serially produced monographs (e.g. almanacs). Of course there can be multiple copies of a single volume in a multi-volume work, so these must be handled as well. There is concern about where the volume information will be sourced. Erin noted that the volume information in the holdings record is a text field
Staff needs (for example bindery’s need to request a particular item) is out of scope for this and should be handled at a different level.
Kelly suggested that discovery layer pops up a dialog asking the patron whether they want the first available copy/volume or a particular copy/volume. It was suggested that the dialog should warn the patron that selecting a particular copy/volume may delay delivery.
Marie asked if circ rules could be used to determine when an title level request or an item level request is available.
Consensus seemed to be that item level requests do not trump title level requests. Requests would be fulfilled in chronological order of when the request was placed. The system would need to reevaluate the request queue when new items are checked in.
Brooks will look at FOLIO APIs and how they interact with EDS.
Chalmers will demonstrate existing functionality for Thursday’s meeting.
