1. Polaris 7.6 - API to Update Bibliographic Records

   I'm specifically looking for a great integration between the cataloging tool BTCat and Polaris.

   Libraries use tools like BTCat and Skyriver to search for new bib records and update/edit existing records. After making changes, the records currently have to be exported from the cataloging software, then imported into Polaris. These tools have the ability to "push" records into other ILS systems, skipping the need for a manual export/import of records. Adding this functionality would aid libraries in transitioning away from the Polaris desktop client (as bibliographic editing in Leap is a tedious process, at best).

2. Polaris 7.7 - Accessibility Shortcuts in Leap

   Many of the keyboard shortcuts that are in the Polaris client are not found in Leap. This is harder for people with difficulties switching between the keyboard and mouse. We have a user who would love to have access to these keyboard shortcuts in leap that, if turned on or added, would make Leap linking much more intuitive and ergonomic.

   The staff member said:

   • Ctrl-S would be fantastic
   • A shortcut to simply close a record, as exists in the form of Alt-F4 in Polaris.

   Those are the big ones.

   Any others that can be turned on or created specifically for entering and navigating the "Actions" > "Create Item" path, like those buttons themselves, would be very gratefully appreciated.
