Display all 5xx note fields as the default in Summon
Make display of all 5xx note fields the default in Summon in the Catalog Detail page, results screen and elsewhere. These fields already appear in Primo, with various labels (General note for 500, Language note for 546, Awards note for 586, Bibliography for 504, etc.). With these omitted from Summon, patrons are missing vital, helpful information from bibliographic records, such as: accessibility features for patrons with disabilities (532, 546); detailed language information--not just the languages themselves, but whether they’re for subtitles, described video, certain articles in anthologies, etc. (546); awards won for picture books, Academy Award winning movies, etc. (586);…

360 Core "Automated Holdings Management" currently supports the ProQuest Ebooks providers only. This feed greatly reduces the amount of work
360 Core "Automated Holdings Management" currently supports the ProQuest Ebooks providers only.
This feed greatly reduces the amount of work to maintain ebook holdings by the librarians.
It would be great if you could add the same feeds for Elsevier, Springer and EBSCO ebooks.93 votesThe initial phases of supporting KBART file exchange are on the 2022 roadmap. Building out this support will enable us to extend auto-holdings management to other providers.

Create an LTI for Summon so that it can be integrated into LMS (Canvas or others).
We want to integrate Summon into our Learning Management Ssystem (LMS) which is Canvas. The easiest way to do this is if we use an existing library service that has an LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability').
Libraries who add search option are using some kind of library LTI product. That's the only way to add something in the sidebar of a Canvas course. Our ILS/catalog does not off an LTI application for connecting it to an LMS. It would be a great improvement if Summon offered an LTI.

Make new Summon Usage Statistics Dashboard publicly viewable
There is currently no way to share a dashboard of Summon usage statistics in the new "Current" interface viewable for all users within our institution. Please create a way for Summon administrators to send a publicly viewable link to others at our institution without having to make everyone log in through the Client Center.

Include MARC 505 and 511 fields in the Details Page
For music recordings and films, it is particularly important to include the 505 and 511 fields to identify the unique aspects of an item. These fields are currently indexed in Summon, but not displayed, and Syndetics is not complete enough to replace them. Additionally, it can be confusing to users to have items in the search results for key terms found in the 505 and 511, but not displayed in the record.

[360 Core & 360 Link] ISSN / ISBN search enhancement request
For EJP and 360 Link, ISSN & ISBN search is availavle only when the ISSN & ISBN are included on Title Metadata.
But there are many title's metadata which have only eISSN / eISBN even if title data of each DB has the pISSN / pISBN.
*Sometimes Title Metadata doesn't have any ISSN/ISBN.On Client Center, we can find titles by searching pISBN even if title metadata doesn't have pISBN.
I think same specification is better on EJP and 360 Link.13 votesWe're working on this as part of an auto-normalization project with the Content Team.

Ability to match language settings of Summon with 360Link
The interface language of Summon and 360Link has no connection.
So, when linking from Summon to 360 Link, abroad students have to change both language settings of Summon and 360Link.
This is inconvenient for abroad students.12 votesPlanned as part of the 2023 Summon Roadmap.

allow kbart uploading for library specific holdings
For collections not in Intota, if we can get kbart files from the vendor, it would be great to be able to use the kbart file provided as opposed to transfer the information a new format.

"Quick Look" - Improve the quick look to be more flexible, including delivering with the four major elements in a "closed" position
Quick Look - improve the quick-look to be more flexible, including delivering the key elements (subjects, table of contents, abstract, etc.) in a "closed" position, linearly in one column, allowing the user to choose which one to see on demand. The fixed display (headed by the 1-25) does not move or actually center on screen (laptops), making the right column data extremely hard to see at the bottom right of the screen. Make the elements "on demand" with clear "back" buttons to return to the quick look landing page. Also the page is not pdf or print friendly, and since…
