Ability to turn off mediated requests at an individual title level
It would be great to have the ability to turn off mediated requests at the individual title level when we have purchased up to our maximum number of copies. Perhaps this could be include in the Book level permissions section.

local access permissions control consortia titles
When a consortium member library has different book download settings on its account than a consortium from which it inherits content, the library's own settings should govern access to consortium-purchased books when users access through that library's account.

Allow individual site-level access permission control for consortium-provided content
We have an ebook collection that's provided by a consortium. We'd like to remove the "download book" link for users of our library, but that can only be done at the consortium level.

Create LTI between Ebook Central and Desire to Learn (D2L)
We have successfully set up integration between EBSCO ebooks, Alexander Street streaming videos, and D2L. Ebook Central is the other main source of our ebooks so we'd like that integrated as well.

Inter-library loan of titles across consortial institutions
Would like to ‘share’ copies of ebooks with other institutions via inter-library loan. Of course, we don’t want to give our last copy, but it seems like we should be able to share our licenses because we are not creating additional copies. Ideally, this would work the same way returnables work. It’s also important that this not only work with Alma libraries, but libraries with a variety of ILSes.
