  1. It would be helpful for us to have access to the history of item and volume records, including details of their creation and any subsequent edits. This would improve our ability to track changes and ensure accountability if any issues come up.

  2. Z39.50 database display names are limited to 50 characters in Admin Corner, but the contents of this field is truncated (at some length < 50) when displayed in the "Selected Databases" dialog in Sierra.

    The 50 char limit may seem generous, but for multilingual organizations (and/or multilingual databases or those that just have long names!) it can already be a challenge to abbreviate the database name in each language to fit while still retaining sufficient information.
