Enable personal users to request a report that includes their custom folder container information and custom folder contents. The rollout for this functionality started on May 2, 2025 and completed on May 28, 2025.
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.
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.
Personalized users can add up to 50 records at a time to a Project of their choice, whether existing or new, directly from the results page
Do not show RTAC when “isRTACapplicable” is set to false
Add “loan type” to RTAC display
“My Dashboard” is now collapsed by default on Explora. Users can click on the “My Dashboard” header to expand it. After expanding this menu, it will remain expanded as users navigate through the interface. Users can also collapse it again by clicking on the “My Dashboard” header, and it will remain collapsed until expanded again.
Improve the patron empowerment user experience by displaying detailed/specific errors to the patron when actions cannot be completed
