In a Consortium Environment, Have Home Library Float to the Top of Availability in Catalog Item Page
With over 70 libraries connected to the app in our consortium, it can get tedious to have to click "more" to find the user's home library for each catalog item. Ideally, if a material is available at the home library it should be displayed first.
Using the "Limit to" search option does not help in this case, as search results still include materials that are not currently available for checkout but are owned by that "limit to" library.

Because there can be over 100 libraries listed as owning a popular item in our consortium, our library patrons would need to scroll to the middle of that list to get to see whether our library owns that item (our library name begins with the letter, N). Having our library float to the top of the list would be extremely helpful to improve the user experience. Removing the necessity to click on "more" to see all the libraries that own an item would also be a big help.
