I'm looking at the acqfest google doc "http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dhcbvgd8_34gn4qm5";, at the Requests section. Please consider being able to set various types of limits on the requests, like number of outstanding requests. Number of requests in a 30 day period, etc. This might be useful for organizations that want to reign in users that abuse the request feature, forcing the user to choose their items carefully. Also, it might be usefull to link certain users requests to a certain funding source. For example, if Professor X, Professor Y, and Professor Z used this to acquire new research materials, and they are all in the same department, they would all be linked to that departments book budget, and wouldn't be able to request materials with a total cost 10% over their budget.... or something like that.
