===== Additional areas of interest =====

==== Removing barriers to student success ====

  * Incorporate accessibility testing into release process

==== Reducing inconsistencies in student experience ====

  * Identifying student patrons by grade/year, major, or classroom/homeroom
  * Improved staff workflows
    * In acquisitions: supporting periodical renewals, standing orders for monographic series, multi-part monographs
    * In acquisitions: EDI periodicals orders
    * Demand-driven acquisitions -- maybe automated (EDI) ordering of added copies based on demand (e.g. http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/10924)
  * Improving single-day circulations
  * Improving billing/coordination with bursar's office
  * API for information about library hours and closures
  * Improvements to inventory capabilities

==== Improving discovery ====
  * Showing location of materials in ways other than call numbers and maps (e.g. getting audible directions on your phone)
  * Better integration with discovery layers
  * Leveraging authority data to improve search
  * Synonym tables rather than stemming
  * Multiple subject heading schemata
  * Improving display understanding (academic PAC flavor?)
  * Integrating ebook circulation (like the Overdrive integration for EbookCentral, Ebsco ebooks, etc.)
  * Integrating article search (e.g. include a new tab in the catalog that allows users to search the Ebsco Discovery Service API in the familiar Evergreen interface)
  * Modeling and/or enabling searching as strategic exploration
  * Integrating institutional repositories
  * Linked open data, library visibility on the Internet
  * Search for library resources using a map (e.g. https://github.com/sul-dlss/blacklight_heatmaps)
  * LTI integration with Canvas, Moodle, etc.
  * Does the Kid's OPAC work for primary school students?

====Experiential learning====
  * Soliciting and supporting student contributions to the Evergreen community

====Modeling scholarship as a conversation====
  * Export citations as RIS, BibTeX

====Assessment====
  * UX studies
  * Measuring student outcome metrics
  * Other ways to learn more about how students use Evergreen?

====Fostering student-Library connections====
  * Public-facing staff directory

====Supporting faculty + staff development====
  * notifying faculty + staff of new acquisitions in their field (e.g. https://github.com/lbcclib/newbooks)
