Move availability to the search result screen
When searching for an item, we want customers to see right on the results page if that item is available and where. This is buried in the actual title at the very bottom of the screen, and people have a hard time finding it. It also helps people narrow their search without having to click into every single record to see if and where the item is available.

We just received feedback from patrons about how the app does not feel as useful as the previous vendor we had despite the search results being more accurate. These changes will really help customers. They actually used the phrase Renee mentioned about "Why bother with an app at all."

This enhancement is essential to the app’s usefulness. If users have difficulty finding the library materials they need, what incentive do they have to use the mobile app? Making it easier to locate materials should be a priority in improving the overall user experience.

This would be great - perhaps even an icon for those visually impaired.

It would be ideal if there was an color and textual indicator next to the format (Available/Green or Checked Out/Red) - similar to Discover.
