1 month ago From the IIIF conference, one possible idea can be to incorporate booksnake into the 'how do I see it?'
Its source code will be available at the end of summer on Github. Booksnake info: https://booksnake.app/
Implementing booksnake would allow us to:
- have a digital version so users can access/view the record through their iphone/tablet, rather than it saying only 'library'. Making it more accessible for users who do not live near new haven. Will also be good for educators to use in classrooms as students are more attentive as it allows them to feel as if they r in the presence of a physical object. it also allows them to get ahold of the item more easily.
Other ideas:
-
the process for accessing a book is long... I first have to click request from the library, it then brings me to click another link to request the book. I then have to re-type the title (???) of the book before I can make the request. Can we somehow have the link for request this book -> go to the request a book already listed in the library?
Or maybe have two options. "View this record on the yale library website" | https://search.library.yale.edu/catalog/14915857, 'Request physical copy from the library" | https://aeon.library.yale.edu/aeon.dll , 'request digital copy from the library' | https://aeon.library.yale.edu/aeon.dll
this way users can skip the extra step of viewing the record and go ahead and request it.
-
label change -> How can I Access It? / 'Where can I view it?"
-
if we change the label to 'where can i view it'? it may be helpful to add a map of the location of the library which it is in. (unsure he feasibility of it, maybe just new haven.)
let me know your thoughts of which options would have a good UI/ or if you have any other thoughts.

Problem Description: The "How do I see it" section on a record page is frustrating to users/staff as it does not allow one to easily see where/how to get ahold of items.
This ticket serves as a research ticket to figure out how to improve this feature.
Expected Behavior/Solution: Some possible solutions are:
Requirements: TBD
Needed for promotion: If an item on the list is not needed, it should be crossed off but not removed.
UAT/LUX Examples:
Dependencies/Blocks: Blocked By: Research
