Version 2.4

Version 2.4 was released August 13, 2008.

• Item-level copyright management. In the "edit item" screen, a library staff member can now choose to "Deny access for this class only" or to "Deny use for all classes."

• One queue for all requests. The "Process Requests" queue in ReservesDirect will now accept requests from faculty for library digitization services (text scanning, audio/video digitization) and for new and reactivated physical items (books, CDs, DVDs). This means that library staff have a single queue to check for reserves processing.

• Request forms. We have now packaged HTML request forms with ReservesDirect that can be inserted into a library's online catalog. Faculty can request physical items and/or digitization services directly from the catalog using these forms.

• Abstract ILS class. It will now be easier to implement ReservesDirect 2.4 with any Integrated Library System.

Version 2.4.4

Version 2.4 was released May 21, 2009.

• Request Queue - Workflow The Request Queue now supports basic workflow. Physical Item requests can be placed in any of these states: 'SEARCHING STACKS', 'UNAVAILABLE', 'RECALLED', 'PURCHASING', 'RESPONSE NEEDED', 'SCANNING', 'COPYRIGHT REVIEW'. This allows better organization for the request queue and displays useful information to the users.
