The Physical Items Search will be updated and redesigned for better usability, performance, productivity, and overall user experience.

• Ability to use multi-value selection facets.

• Table and record views for search results.

• Side-by-side item editor.

• Enhanced navigation.

The user will be able to quickly find and perform actions on items.

Using the "Share Online Service Order", Network members will be able to define the order of the Link Resolver electronic services for electronic collections managed in the Network Zone or the institution.

The Central office will be able to distribute the Share Online Service Order configuration to members.

• Member administrator will be able to manage the Share online services configuration by combining e-resources coming from both Network and Institution zones.

• Network Zone operator will be able to distribute the Share Online Services Order configuration from the Central Configuration Dashboard to members.

This enhancement will empower both centralized and decentralized administration:

• Member administrator will gain flexibility to blend network and local services in a user-friendly order.

• Network Zone operators will be able to guide best practices and enforce standards through centralized sharing tools.

This will support better end-user experiences, strengthen collaborative workflows, and advance the consortium’s ability to manage shared and local electronic resources in harmony.

Changes to electronic collection fields that are managed in the CZ will appear in the history tab.

• Meaningful "Old" and "New" values

• Indication of the time the change was done

It will be easier to identify changes that were done, analyze and correct issues for electronic collections.

Details on electronic collections pending deletion will appear before the actual deletion.

• Display additional information such as Reason and Planned deletion date.

• Display information on alternative electronic collection.

• Notify in a dedicated report type in the CZ updates task list.

Allow institutions to prepare for electronic collection deletion before it takes place: check holdings, activate alternative collection etc.

Sorting of full text services by current access will be supported. This sorting option will be configurable.

"Current access" refers to availability that includes the current year, as determined by the portfolio’s coverage and embargo settings

Prioritizing services with current access will help end users quickly find the link most likely to provide the content they need.

It will be possible to define and use proxies in the Network Zone.  This is relevant for consortia's that use the same proxies in the entire network.

• Defining proxies once in the Network Zone instead of adding to each member.

• Ability to use these proxies for electronic resources managed in the Network Zone.

Reduce the effort of defining proxies for each member, and allow more flexibility in using proxies which are not the default when defining electronic resources in the network.
