Locate Roadmap

To allow uninterrupted authentication flow and prevent any potential redirect to generic search page, especially when a patron has selected item to place a hold, this update will allow them to continue their place hold workflow and return to the result list to continue with their discovery process.

Address Library and Location display name conflict when the library and location name are same and appear as duplicated information to the patron by presenting them independently and allowing configuration.

Going forward, EBSCO Locate will continue to provide support for discovery of book cover images with assistance from Ingram.

Ensure that records, such as "no longer available" items, and "fee records" not linked to any instance, are not identified as suppressed and are not included in the suppression notification. Additionally, virtual records are not identified as suppressed so that the suppression notification does not count virtual records as suppressed, when displayed.

Configuration to reposition RTAC table at the bottom of the page with a jump-to CALL TO ACTION. It also includes breaking out subjects into LC subjects and other subjects. Also displays “Please contact library staff for additional help” link and “Permalink“ link. Please submit a Connect ticket to apply configuration.

Alternative titles can now be displayed directly under the title on the detail page using a custom “Alternate Graphical Representation” title type through configuration. All other alternative titles will be displayed further down the page under the titles section. The chosen configured title (Usually 880s which are linked to a 245) will now map to ‘Alternate Graphical Representation’ in alternative title types. This will also be displayed on the search results page and dashboard pages. These values are also searchable through both keyword and title searches.

All FOLIO instance note types will be made visible, unless marked staff only. Please keep in mind that notes in the MARC record only appear if mapped to the FOLIO instance record.

Users can now use “Contributor,” “Organization,” and “Genre/Form” facets to narrow their search results.

• Contributor facet: Instance level Contributor field with type Personal Name
• Organization facet: Instance level Contributor field with type Corporate Name
• Genre/Form facet: Based on the Subject Heading Genre/Form subtype

Users can browse subject headings linked to catalog records, enriched with authority metadata and persistent links. Note that this functionality will be released in Beta at this time.
