Workable automatic authentication of ExLibris books purchased in Summon
Can we please have an automatic authentication system for ExLibris books we purchase that works? The current system does not work.
We have had significant problems with a delay between purchasing a books via ExLibris and these books being searchable in our Summon- backed library site (books purchased on 22.9 are still not viewable on 2.11 - despite countless emails and tickets).

There is no way to mass unapply database filters (except by clearing all filters).
When you apply database filters to a search term and then start a new search, those databases still show as selected and you have to untick them one by one. The only way to clear them is either manually or by using "Clear all filters", but that also clears other filters such as fulltext online, etc.
Can we have an option to mass unapply database filters?

add "film review" content type
Summon has a "book review" content type, but no "film review" content type.
There is no intuitive way to find film reviews, which may be tagged as "book review." This can be confusing when searching for reviews of a book that was made into a movie.1 vote -
ability to disable message for the public display of A&I "not available"
Allow library to choose whether to display or not display the "not available
" messageCan this portion of the A&I Detail page be configurable - while useful for the librarians, not so great a recommendation for the public, telling them all the places where their article isn't available.

Higher relevance for local language and English
At Swedish universities, both English and Swedish is used, but not really other language (unless, of course, you study that language). I guess this situation is quite common in several countries - items in English + in the local language are welcome, but items in other languages should be ranked lower.
Example: If we search for "Manuel Castells", our books in Swedish by this author are ranked much lower than, for instance, articles in Spanish about the author.1 vote -

Database recommendations based on content type facet
Currently the database recommender is powered by tags (and an algorithm based on the result set?). We would like for the content type facet to also power database recommendations. For example, if the music facet is selected, Naxos is recommended. If the standards facet is selected, Standards Australia is recommended. The new database facet assists with this to a degree, but it is not foolproof.
