Chat integrations enabled in EBSCO Experience Manager Configuration are now eligible to be displayed on the Publication Finder and Full Text Finder Link Resolver user interfaces
This feature adds an optional new top right navigation to the Full Text Finder Link Resolver user interface where your administrator can add preset links to your EBSCOhost, EDS and Publication Finder profiles, or add custom URLs to link to other sites. These new options are available for setup under a new section for Full Text Finder in EBSCO Experience Manager Configuration called Additional tools
Library administrators for EBSCO-hosted FOLIO libraries with Patron Empowerment will be able to hide the option for users to place holds on specific copies or volumes when a title has multiple items.
EBSCO's Global Knowledgebase is being populated with new managed package descriptions, alternate package names, package subjects, and package-level URLs that will be searchable in Holdings Management. Additionally, Holdings Management Administrators will be able to create a custom package display name, add alternate package names and descriptions, and associate additional managed subjects to packages; users can also add package URLs to their custom packages.
For libraries with FOLIO Patron Empowerment, librarians can configure a custom note to display to their patrons in the place hold modal. It is now possible to configure the custom note in multiple languages (all supported languages).
For libraries with RTAC (Real Time Availability Check) enabled for the catalog items, librarians can now choose whether to display the due date of catalog items that are currently on loan. The item due date displays in RTAC by default if an item is on loan. Librarians can use Configuration in EBSCO Experience Manager to hide the due date (note that EBSCO-hosted FOLIO libraries also have the option to display the due date but not hide the due date time).
For libraries with FOLIO Patron Empowerment, patrons can now see the call number and volume information for items they have on hold or on loan. The call number and volume information now displays in My Dashboard for items that the patron has on loan or on hold, helping them to identify which volume they have on loan, especially if the title has multiple volumes, like in the case of serials.
New Full Text Finder Link Resolver User Interface (FTF UI) supports third party API links such as ThirdIron links and Unpaywall API links to conditionally display on the FTF UI when the third party API returns a positive response.
