1. Un-cancel a purchase order line item

   The ability to un-cancel a cancelled Purchase Order Line Item. Sometimes an order cancelled by a vendor will arrive anyways, or one edition is cancelled then later substituted for another. In these cases, it would be preferable to un-cancel the original POLI than to create a new one, or start from scratch at the invoice stage. Un-cancelling the POLI would also allow us to maintain the connection between the POLI and the Invoice Line Item.

   Idea Value
   This would save time and confusion for acquisitions staff, and allow us to maintain the connections between PO, Invoice and Item.

2. Add format types CD+DVD, Playaway, Book+CD-ROM

   We'd like these new TOMs/Type of Material ('Format' in Leap and icon in the PAC). These currently display incorrect and/or unhelpful formats, though coded correctly in the MARC record:

   CD + DVD: A CD issued with DVD displays in both Leap and the PAC as 'Videorecording'. If the DVD is primary it displays as 'DVD', better but still not ideal.

   Playaway: These display in Leap and PAC as 'Audio Books'. Not technically incorrect but not really helpful either. We'd prefer 'Playaway' or generic 'Audio Media Player' or something else that more clearly differentiates these from CD audiobooks. You should be able to use the first part of an 007 ('cs') in combination with other coded fields. Likewise for Playaway View/Video Media Player.

   Book + CD-ROM: We do still have CD-ROMs and sometimes add books that come with CD-ROMs. Both display in Leap and PAC as 'Electronic Resources'. For the CD-ROM by itself, maybe this is acceptable but not ideal. For the book, this is not helpful.

   Idea Value
   Both patrons and staff would benefit from having a clearer indication of what they're looking at when these types of items come up in a search, especially since there often isn't anything else indicating the format in a hit list. We have hundreds of titles affected.

3. Always allow item-level holds in PAC

   It would be incredibly useful for our patrons if we could still allow item-level holds from the PAC for those items which are not serials or multi-part sets. We want to limit holds for serials and multi-parts using the current functionality in Polaris because it will serve our patrons better, but other functionality should not be taken away in order to do so.

   Currently, in the Requests parameters, unless the box is checked for 'Allow item requests from PAC,' item-level holds cannot be placed on all items. If 'Limit item requests to first available copy' is checked, and any of the boxes below that are checked ('Allow requests on serials in PAC and Staff Client,' 'Allow requests on multi-part sets in PAC and Staff Client,' or 'Both'), Polaris will only allow item-level requests for items on a serial bib, and/or items with information in the volume field of the item call number.

   We would like to use the current option of forcing item-level holds for serials and multi-part sets while also retaining the option for patrons to place an item-level hold for the latest James Patterson if they so choose.

   Idea Value
   While enabling item-level holds for serials and multi-parts is beneficial to our patrons due to the specific volume information included in a serial or multi-part item, it is detrimental to the patron experience if they cannot place an item-level hold on all titles in our catalogue. There will always be those patrons who prefer borrowing only material owned by their registered library, and we need to serve them just as well as we serve our less choosy patrons.
