Internal item specific notes for titles on lists
It would be great if internal notes could be added to specific items that have been added to lists, with only ppl with access to said list(s) able to see the notes. This feature would be useful for rush/reserve/replacement/special orders when the selector needs to communicate information specific to the item.

We should be able to add a note at the time of selection to an item and that note should be available and searchable all the way through the acquisitions process. Which librarian selected the item? Why did they select it? Notes created in the List do not transfer, this is silly; what's the point of entering the a note if the cataloger will not see it? Right now, we don't have the ability to place a note when we are selecting the item, we have to enter the note in the "List" function. This is is an incredibly clumsy method. Please allow us the ability to enter a note when we select an item in Marketplace and leave it up to the cataloger (using internal processes) to either delete the note after making the item available or choose to retain the note in a non-public MARC field. For example, the librarian is selecting the book for Dr. Smith. The librarian needs to be able to enter a note when the item is selected in Marketplace so when the Access Services staff scans the item in to make it available they will know to alert Dr. Smith (and the selector) that the item is now available. Yes, there are other ways to to this, but this would be the best and easiest method. Nobody has time to go back into their list or cart to enter a note. That is not the way things work. Thank you.
