These releases are on their way to you next week, and will be live in all regions by the end of the day on Friday, November 3, 2023.
LibCal
- We're excited to announce our partnership with RemoteLock! RemoteLock users can now sync their individual LibCal spaces with RemoteLock's access technology. Users who create a space booking will automatically receive a PIN that is active just for the time of their confirmed booking, which they can use with a RemoteLock device to unlock that space. If you're a RemoteLock customer, please get in touch with us to enable this exciting new integration!
- We've added a patron history stats overlay to the booking explorer, so you can easily view statistics on each user's prior appointments without needing to run additional reports.
- We've added multi-select functionality to Category, Location & Group drop-down selections in the Appointments stats report.
- We've modified the behavior of the new Spaces search when there are no results; clicking on Space image/name now goes to the individual Seat/Space page instead of the "Book Now" page.

LibGuides/LibApps
- We've removed pagination from the new AZ list of databases in favor of lazy loading. Now, the first 500 databases will be loaded upon landing, and you'll find a button at the end of that list to "Load More Results".
- We've moved Database Alerts & Announcements to a standalone page so that you can manage all the A-Z announcements and database issues reported from one place. You can access this module from the A-Z Databases - Settings - Alerts & Announcements.

LibConnect
- Email Campaigns: LibCal events added to a campaign are now using the correct time format selected by the user in the system settings.
- Email Campaigns: We've made several performance improvements related to email sending.
- Reports: We've separated first and last name when exporting reports, so these fields will now be separate columns in the export spreadsheet.
