Since we're talking bookbags (and UPEI has some interesting use cases btw)... here's some stuff gathered from various corners of the Evergreen biblioverse:
* An option to display bookbags when users are logged in, say, in the left menu (again, some libraries won't want this) * An option to easily return to the bookbag list after displaying an item in the bag * Ability to sort; or, at minimum, some default sort that kinda makes sense, like alpha * Deduping (right now you can add the same record repeatedly) * A better return from dynamic item details -- go to bookbag/title/record/dynamic details; you can't return to My Title List. I don't know if that's an artifact of the dynamic-ness or what. * Offering bookbag *functions* in the LH menu (optionally, of course) * Relabeling/rdesigning so "add to bookbag" is next to "place hold" in results display (it's there, but buried in an oblique drop-down) * An option to display items, not records, at the top bookbag level, especially for libraries that are single-site or have consistent call #s -- in other words, not having to drill down to get the call # and location * In July, when I was asking about bookbags, a couple of people mentioned that having "basket" ability to pick items from search results would be useful for adding items to the bookbag. This is more of a "basket" feature for Evergreen overall than bookbag-specific -- however, so noted! Some of these ideas may conflict or may not work in the field... but the general idea is to take a good feature (bookbags) and make it more accessible and useful. -- | Karen G.
