    This is a really serious design flaw. It doesn't just apply to open access titles. It applies to any miscellaneous e-journal where the publisher doesn't allow proxy access. It never occurred to the developers that there would be cases where it would be necessary to override the proxy setting at the title level.
    I hope this will get some attention since, in spite of having reported it, they're not interested in fixing it.

    This would be really helpful given that the date widget is so poorly designed it's useless and the date field requires very special formatting. Currently it's inefficient and unnecessarily slow. This fix would speed up invoice entry.

    Claiming in Alma is very poorly designed. In fact all print serials management in Alma is terrible. This is an area where they really should get feedback from users who have experience with serials management rather than trying to build a system based on what the developers think is best.

    This is a good idea but what's really needed is a thorough revision of the way Alma handles print serials. Print serials, especially periodicals, haven't changed since we used NOTIS, but Alma has made every part of the process unnecessarily complicated to the point that where we used to be able to train student assistants to help now it's a specialized skill. We also can't claim reliably or display print holdings as clearly as we could previously because of Alma's poor design in this area.

    If there are both open and closed orders on the same record it would help to have two shopping carts.
