Enhance the locate profile for ISSN and Article Locate
The current locate profile is able to locate Journals via ISSN but that fails to take account of publication years. Can we look to enhance the article locate function to take into account ISSN, YEAR and VOLUME.
An example of a current issue we have is, a user requests an article with the ISSN 1234-1234 and the year 2020, the locate profile will currently match on institutions ISSN holdings only, so requests end up going to institutions that may have that Journal but not the year that the article is for.

Thank you for submitting your idea and for your continued engagement.
We’ve taken a close look at the proposal, and while we appreciate the concept, the technical feasibility presents significant challenges. Given our current priorities and resource constraints, it’s unlikely that we’ll be able to pursue this enhancement in the foreseeable future.
That said, your feedback remains valuable, and we truly appreciate your contribution. We’ll continue to keep it in mind as our roadmap evolves.
