Allow patrons to order a specific item in a fulfillment network
Hi
We are in a consortium with a fulfillment network.
Which in many cases means that the patrons can not pick which copy of a book they want to order.
While this may make sense as the default (1), it is frustrating for many patrons, myself included.
- When more than one copy is available, I want to be able to decide which one to get
- When a book is on loan I may prefer to wait for the copy of my favorite library to come back instead of getting the book from somewhere else
This is especially relevant when I'm in a setting where getting a copy from another library costs me money.
The option 'choose specific item' should be available in the full title display (when logged in). If this is not possible, it could be an option in the patron settings.
(1) Although it leads to an inconsistent display in Primo VE: sometimes the links for ordering are above the call number, sometimes next to it.
