If animations are used for page turning, ability to turn them off. | Yale, Maryland, UU | |
Search using multiple translated languages on a single page | Yale, Penn State | In the event that the OCR/coordinates for a page has been translated into multiple languages. |
Advanced search - ability to search just the text captions for images | Yale | with understanding that it is possible to code the content in a way that makes this work (PCDM?) |
Advanced search - ability to search text exclusively for advertisements (or exclude this text from a search including faceting) | Yale, UU | with understanding that it is possible to code the content in a way that makes this work (PCDM?) |

Ability to integrate with existing IIIf services (i.e. make support for IIIf and other external services pluggable) | Maryland, Alberta, Penn State, IUPUI | For example, if an institution has a Loris server and a manifest generation app already, this app should support integration of those services |
Expose PURLs for issues and pages | Maryland, Alberta, IUPUI | |
Expose PURLs and citation metadata (human and machine readable) for articles where article-level metadata is available | Alberta | |
Support redirects from legacy URLs for issues, pages, articles | Alberta, IUPUI | |
