- CATALOG: Add to permanent list – Logged-in users now have the ability to add a title directly to a list from the search results or record summary screens. Users will also now receive a warning when they add titles to a temporary book list letting them know that the list will disappear when the search session is complete.
- CATALOG: Library selector on advanced search interfaces – A library selector for scoping is now available on the numeric and expert search tabs.
- HOLDS: Simplified pull list – Allows staff to control which fields display in the printed pull list. It also improves workflow, particularly for libraries with long pull lists, because, if you print through the simplified view, you no longer need to fetch all holds before printing the pull list.

- HOLDS: New configuration options for identifying how the system should fill holds – Evergreen sites will now have more options for identifying how the system should fill holds.

Bibliomation was the lead sponsor for this project. MassLNC also contributed along with HSLC and Sage Library System.
