Desired information by branch: Number of items, Number of holds, Year-to-date circulation, Previous year-to-date circulation, Lifetime circulation, Year-to-date in-house use, Previous year-to-date in-house use, Lifetime in-house use. Desired information by item: Assigned Branch, Collection, First available date, Year-to-date circulation, Previous year-to-date circulation, Lifetime circulation, Year-to-date in-house use, Previous year-to-date in-house use, Lifetime in-house use, Shelf location, Volume information, Current Circulation Status, Barcode, Last activity Date. This information should be sortable by any field.
Idea Value
These two sections would provide a simple view to see how many copies of a specific title are owned by a given branch, their circulation status, and their aggregate circulation along with the collective status at branch and partner locations. The presentation would significantly reduce staff time spent on most collection development and maintenance tasks, notably the evaluation for selection and deselection of library items, over the current workflow in the Leap web client.

Many staff find the Search results box too confining and have asked about the ability to expand it. Is this something you an add to reduce scrolling, etc.? Also, it would save significant time and frustration if there was a preview option staff could see without having to full open a bib record - which is something we currently have in the staff client.
