    If you are an academic with multiple libraries across campus, this is a must have to avoid very annoyed patrons.

    Our database management group has a number of cleanup projects going, especially with gov docs and serials. Being able to add multiple items to a review file at one time would be handy.

    Definitely a yes. A history is supposed to provide sufficient information to track down who did what. The current implementation does not.

    This should be an Opt In|Out or have a way to limit the depth of the histories. With larger libraries this could have data storage implications. My library has more than 7 million volumes and there are a number of reasons why an item might be edited multiple times over its life time. (Transfers, call number updates, local notes...)

    Agree with all of the above. We have several collections, which could benefit from this.

    Also, my institution uses a custom Blacklight installation instead of Vega for discovery. Attached is a paper explaining issues we ran into with Arabic scripts. It may provide insight into the issues you are seeing.

    For the Sierra client, the white square issue can sometimes be helped by updating the preferred languages in Windows. In win11: Language settings ->Preferred Languages. Install the relevant language. Reboot Windows and see how it goes.

    We are almost always sitting at the limit. Staff turnover also adds to the difficulty in determining ownership. Being able to see initials and last date and time would be a huge help. The ability to rename would be another win. What may seem like a descriptive name to the original owner may be a mystery to others.

    A variety of reasons can cause a branch to close (and sometimes quite quickly.) This enables the admin to quickly and accurately update the holdings availability for each branch. This provides better service to the patrons.
