LibCal, LibAnswers, LibGuides, and LibStaffer Features Coming Your Way!
By Sarah on April 18, 2025
These releases are on their way to you next week, and will be live in all regions by the end of the day on Monday, April 28, 2025.
LibCal
-
Events: We've added the ability to multi-select the following fields in the Event Explorer: Event Organizer; Audience; Internal Tags; Booking Form; Presenter; Category; Location; and Campus. Head to Events>Calendar List>Event Explorer to make use of the new multi-select functionality.
-
LibMaps: We’ve added an easy “Print” feature for maps shown in ILS searches, and updated the print view so it now contains item title, call number, and collection info.
-
LibMaps: We've significantly improved the accessibility of map images. It's now possible to keyboard navigate throughout all hotspots in a given map, open/close each hotspot's modal without losing focus order, and all aria tags are now rendering as they should. For more details on these and more, head over to the Lounge’s LibCal April Release post!

LibAnswers
-
You can now unsend ticket replies when answering tickets on the ticket answer page! You will have up to 6 seconds after sending a reply to revoke the sent message, by clicking the “Undo Send” button shown in the success alert in the bottom left corner of your browser window.
-
FAQs can now support URL Redirects! This makes it possible to add a searchable FAQ result in LibAnswers that points to information outside of LibAnswers. For example, if your collection development policy lives in LibGuides, but you want to add a question in LibAnswers for “What is the library’s collection development policy,” the FAQ result can now point directly to the relevant URL in LibGuides. To add a redirect, head to the FAQs Knowledge Base > Edit FAQ and select the pencil icon next to the Public URL in the FAQ metadata toolbar.
-
Macros can now be reassigned to other account holders.

LibGuides
-
You can now download your monthly and daily A-Z statistics across multiple categories: Databases, Assets, Page Views, Lists, Sessions, and Searches. Each exported file includes a separate sheet for each stats category.
-
We’ve added new permissions and access controls to help you better manage who can edit and view A-Z Lists, including a new “Manage AZ Resources” user-level permission.
-
You can now reorder filtering options on A-Z Databases > A-Z Public Page > Settings > Main Content and A-Z Resources > Lists > Settings > Main Content

LibStaffer
-
The schedule view has been updated to always display the three available views - Calendar, Staff Timeline and Shift Timeline.
-
We've added an option to make the Give Up Shift "Note/Email Message" required. Head to Admin>Schedule Settings>Give Up Shifts to set if staff are required to provide a note when before giving up a shift.
