Yes please - our consortium of libraries could really benefit from this (as most customers as well). Having the ability to easily limit to our own Material types would help patrons find things that don't have TOMs such as "Playaway, etc."
Ideal implementation would have an area in settings similar to Material Type Mapping that lets you see a list of all pulled in "Material Types" from Polaris and toggle them on/off for inclusion in the facets, and also provide the ability to rename a material type for a more patron-friendly display name. For example, we likely wouldn't want them seeing "Playaway-V" and would set the friendly display name to "Playaway Video".
Later development, we'd love to see the grouping of material types into a single material type facet item. For example, grouping DVD, DVD-J and DVD-RENT as "DVD" to help with searching.
After that, further development would ideally let us create a collection site specific to a material type or multiple selected material types. For example, we have a material type for "Library of Things" - this would be great to quickly use to filter for these items in a custom Collection Site.
Thanks for the consideration!

Yes, the ability to pull additional field data on in-transit slips. Perhaps similar to user defined fields, we could have branch defined fields, a BDF so to speak. So that BDF1 could have a description of "Route" and contain a route number, and BDF2 could have a description of "Stop" and contain a stop number for delivery purposes. These fields could then be customizable by any customer for their needs and display purposes on a per branch basis on receipts or in other areas of the ILS.

Brainstorming a bit: If the Polaris database could have an additional field for each Patron Code for "Default Expiration" to be configured as a number in months "6, 12, 36, etc". Then, when selecting the patron code during patron registration, if Leap could automatically populate the correct expiration date from the "Default Expiration" defined with that selected Patron Code, this would simplify the patron registration process, reduce errors, and still provide the ability for the staffer to override by selecting a different expiration date or term.
Additionally, if when using the renewal functionality it also used the "Default Expiration" of that patron's Patron Code to select the correct renewal, that would be lovely!
Thanks for the consideration!

I second the idea of an overlayed "Not owned" verbiage, and if clicking on the item pre-populated a collection addition request to the patron's registered library - that would be slick!

I feel like this could be piggybacked on the cover image changing based on selection of PS4, PS5, Xbox, etc. for games. Same type of concept with possibly a single solution fixing both.

Yes, we don't want them to have to pop over to PowerPac just to sign up/register. There's great potential here to make an even friendlier work flow for sign up right from the "My Bookshelf" next to "Sign In" by having a "Sign Up for a Library Card" option.

Yes, please give us the ability for this request to go to the patron's registered home library and not a central email account. Thanks!

This is really important for us... we utilize collections as broad, overarching categories for items (Adult Fiction, Adult Non-Fiction, etc.), but Shelf Locations get more specific. Please add Shelf Location as a filter facet so that our librarians can limit down to "Early Reader, Picture Books, etc.".
