     Display holdings in Z39.50 search results in Enquiry

    This feature requires server version 10.9 or higher.  

    Performing an external search in the Enquiry module (using the Z39.50 protocol) may now provide a holdings summary for titles returned. The holdings are shown at the Bibliographic record Full Display (but not at Brief Display of a result set).

    The holdings details are pulled from:

    If the target library is a Sirsi-Dynix library or a Spydus library pre-10.9, Location and Collection details will displayed as codes. Institution details will not be displayed in SD or Spydus pre-10.9 libraries.

    If the target library is on Spydus 10.9 or later, the Institution, Location and Collection will display their descriptive headings.

    Ability to further refine or translate SavedLists

    This feature requires server version 10.9 or higher.  

    When creating a new SavedList, it is now possible to select the Record format of the records to be added to the list, which will then allow those records to be further refined or translated.

    Just as with the Boolean query Result type, setting the Record format does not prevent records of other formats being included in the list. It will generally result in records that are not of the selected format being removed as soon as a refinement or translation is performed.

    e.g. if the Record format is set as Item, but the SavedList contains Bibliographic records, refining on Location or Collection (which are Item properties), or translating to Loan records, will result in a set of zero records as Bibliographic records will not contain those links.

    Add Lender 'Library ID' to Enquiry 

    This feature requires server version 10.9 or higher.  

    For Borrower records that are configured as inter-library loan Lenders, the Library ID field has been introduced. This field is now available to query at the Borrower Search form, and where the field is not null it is displayed at the Borrower record Full Display.

    Add edit record option to full display of reading challenge in enquiry

    It is now possible to update the progress on a Reading Challenge Registration by clicking the Edit Record button at the Full Display of the record. Previously this was only accessible from the Manage Registrations list in Circulation.
