Hi all, We'll be releasing the library review feature described below tomorrow. We had to hold the release back last week as changes were needed to every customer's CSS templates to support some menu changes we made as part of this story. As discussed below, we won't automatically add the permission for academics to request reviews to your tenancies until you're comfortable with the new functionality, and have worked out how you'd like the workflow to operate. So nothing is going to change (for academics) tomorrow. Once we make the release, those users with acquisitions review role will be able to see a new "All Reviews" menu option (under the Acquisitions tab), start reviews, add comments and review outcomes, and complete reviews. We've already identified the following enhancements that we'll be working on: * Ability to review draft items as well as published items. * On review completion, an option to "Publish" the list at the same time (if a draft exists) * Display historical record of review comments and outcomes Once released, please let us know your thoughts and feedback. Thanks, Chris Begin forwarded message: From: Chris Clarke <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Date: 9 July 2010 16:25:28 GMT+01:00 To: "[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>" <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Subject: Advance notice of release: July 15th Reply-To: Talis Aspire Users <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Next Thursday we will most likely be releasing "Submit item for library review". As you may be aware, this is a major new feature which allows academics to submit a list for library review. The request will be added to an "All Reviews" stack, and library staff can perform reviews, including maintaining a log of comments, from the existing review screen. Other functionality will include the ability to record a review outcome for each item in the review. Once the review is completed, Aspire will email the requesting academic with the review outcome. On release, Talis will not enable by default the ability for academics to request reviews. This means from an academic's point of view, nothing will change next Thursday. Indeed, some customers will not want to use this function at all, as it does not fit directly within their workflow. What we would like customers to do is to take a look around and familiarise themselves with the new functionality first. Any library administrator users with existing permissions to access the list review screen will be able to manually "start" a review and test-drive the new functions. Once you are comfortable, contact Talis Support and we will enable the request review function for your academics. From this point on, they will see a new option on the published list view to submit a list for review. They'll also be able to inform you of anticipated student numbers as part of the request process. Finally, if you would like to test drive what academics will see, it is possible for us to enable the request review function for library administrator users first, allowing them to perform a few "test" requests before rolling the function out to all users. We'll be in contact again next week to confirm once the release is live.
