Resource Management

• Deleting the last inventory in the Consortia will delete the Bibliographic record in the Network Zone - In order to provide the most accurate indication of the inventory that is held by the consortia, a new configuration option will be added that will allow consortia's to decide if they want the Network Zone bibliographic record to be deleted when the last inventory (associated to the Bibliographic record) is deleted in the Consortia.
• A Consortia member will be able to see Physical Title Usage across the Consortia - To better support the usage of Physical resources across the Consortia, staff users will be able to see the Physical Title usage ( Number of Loans, Number of Requests) for each title that is held by a consortia member.

Digital Resource Management
