10min | Requests | Cate Boerema (Deactivated) | Searching by instance identifiers (esp ISSN and ISBN) in Requests | - Chalmers has requested that we support ISBN and ISSN searching in the Requests app - Their preference is to make this accessible from the single search box that already exists in Requests - Any concerns with this? - Should we also include all the other instance identifier types? Per developers, it's actually easier to support searching of all than it is to limit down to just one or two types - Current assumption is that we need to do the same ISBN normalization as we will do in Inventory for search |

Notes
Andrea asked that RA members take a look at the Clusters from RA report and ask their institution to rank the reports.
Andrea reported that while WOLFcon is supposed to have Zoom access to all meetings, this Is still being worked out, and links to Zoom meetings are not currently available. The link to the WOLFcon schedule can be found in the Discussion items above (the specifically RA meetings are taking place on January 22).
Emma asked for feedback regarding Chalmers request for changes in the display of item status information. It was agreed that showing the status date closer to the item status would be helpful. It was also agreed that showing the destination service point for in-transit items was a good idea in the Item Status screen, but not to have this information shown in the other areas where item information appears. Chalmers also asked about having the Due Date of an item shown as the Item Status when an item is checked out, and having the Due Date do double duty as both indicating the item is Checked Out and when the item is due. It was agreed that this could be problematical, so it was recommended that this not be implemented. It was agreed, however, that it would be nice if the due date could be found more easily than is the case in the current FOLIO version. Cate mentioned that this has been discussed, but agreed that the matter should be brought up again in consultation with members of the MM SIG.
Cate brought up the use case View item requests on instance records. It was agreed that adding a button to open a popup to show the items with their request queue was a good idea, but Enumeration and Chronology information needs to be included, but that having the whole effective call number was neither necessary nor advisable. Due Date information should also be displayed in order to be able to give the patron an idea as to when to expect the requested item. It was agreed that the title of the item should be in the header of the pop-up. There was a question as to whether material type also needs to be included to deal with the case when, for example, an item may have a separately barcoded CD supplement that accompanies a book.
The Chalmers request to be able to search requests by ISBN/ISSN was discussed. Andrea raised privacy concerns with having this feature. Cate will look at the use cases for this, and will bring up the matter at the next RA SIG meeting. The point was made that searching by ISSN may be helpful in finding some difficult to find items.
