I'm out of votes but in full support of this! It's incomprehensible that something should be viewable in the interface but not printable/exportable. Such a terrible user experience.

For the folks who are wanting to remove the "valid until" date, there's an idea for that specifically: https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308173-alma/suggestions/44902261-remove-valid-until-in-calendar-entries

We use statistical categories for a couple of situations where it would be helpful to see that information from within the circ desk UI:
1. For granting A/V equipment borrowing privileges to users of our affiliated law school but not to the rest of our consortium borrowers.
2. For providing Office Delivery services to eligible faculty--their eligibility (in terms of physical office location) is assessed manually by staff, then the statistical category is added for tracking/reporting purposes.Cindy Bowen

I'm also out of votes, but strongly support being able to enable this functionality at the view level and adjust what titles are displayed for each view.

If it helps anyone: We do bookings on a date basis only (i.e., the patron selects only the dates, not the times) to help address this issue. That plus a 1-hour preview period has the effect of requiring patrons to book at least one day in advance. From what I can tell, the preview period does two things: controls when the request appears in the pick-from-shelf list, and operates as a buffer between bookings. So using a longer preview period may also work if you still want to allow patrons to choose date-and-time...
EDIT: The April 2024 release mucked this up for us; apparently how the Days resolution was working wasn't how it was intended to work, so they fixed it. We absolutely need this functionality now, because same-day requests were never what we wanted to happen.
EDIT AGAIN: The November 2024 release added a parameter to disallow same-day requests for bookings configured on a Day basis--set allow_same_day_booking to false. -

Thank you again for sharing your idea and for the thoughtful input you've provided. When we first discussed it, I was optimistic about exploring it further,
While I had hoped to prioritize this enhancement, it hasn’t gained the traction we typically look for to move forward. As a result, it’s unlikely to be implemented in the foreseeable future. That said, your feedback remains valuable, and I’ll continue to keep it in mind as our roadmap evolves.

This functionality is still sorely needed! I cannot vote on it because it's "Planned", but Dana's comment does not address the actual request of automatically populating the end date/time based on a selected start date/time. Adding this capability would be a huge win for my patrons.
I don't think I fully understood the implications of how Newspaper Search provides links previously. The inclusion of only one link is hugely detrimental to our patrons if there are problems with that one link, either in the linking data or because the platform is having a server issue, as they have no other recourse to obtain the particular article even when we have multiple portfolios available for that newspaper. As an example, a recent newspaper article from the Sydney Morning Herald has only a ProQuest link listed. Pulling up the record for Sydney Morning Herald in our regular search (or Journal Search) reveals we have seven additional linking options across five other platforms in addition to ProQuest, all of which include current article coverage, so the presentation in Newspaper Search is extremely deceptive about the availability of newspaper articles in our holdings.
