"Zero availability" fix and other changes coming 11/10

The problem with nothing but zeroes displaying for availability on brief view pages should be fixed tonight (Wednesday, Nov. 10). The NHAIS ILL System will be offline for up to 15 minutes starting at 10 o'clock to install the fix for this issue as well as other improvements. Remember that the lender list build process does its own searching after you submit a request so your lender list will not necessarily be limited to whatever number you see for holdings on the record you choose to create your request. You can still choose a record with no holdings to create your request and let the system find matching records with holdings.

When "Add More From These Libraries" was added to the bottom of search results pages in September, it was noted here that the feature may be useful for SHAREit installations in other states but wasn't helpful in the NHAIS ILL System. Further modifications are being made to this function so it shouldn't display the message (now reworked to "See More From") unless there actually is more to see. Also being added is the ability to turn the message off altogether; we expect to implement that option as soon as possible.

More Renewed by Lender options are being added with tonight's program update. There will be four actions available to lenders to change requests in Renewed by Lender status.

The actions for Check In, Recall, Lost, and Overdue are the same actions that are available to the lender for the three statuses to which the Renewed by Lender status can be applied: Received, Accepted Renewal, and Overdue. Requests in Renewed by Lender status are found under "Items awaiting trading partner response" on the lender's side of the Request Manager.
