Configurable Work Types
https://github.com/samvera-labs/hyku/issues/1493
Required to support work types which have not been (and perhaps never will be) part of the default set, but for which there are distinct needs. Custom metadata will make this easier to accomplish.

Improved Notifications
https://github.com/samvera-labs/hyku/issues/1500
Currently, notifications are available only within the interface of Hyku and not via email. Email notification options are needed to compete with similar systems.

Field Mapping for OAI
The available fields are fixed and cannot be renamed or configured. Each available field is mapped to its corresponding Dublin Core element and cannot be unmapped or remapped to another element. Both of these affordances (remapping and unmapping) are central to the way we outbound metadata via OAI-PMH to our ILS and to aggregators like the DPLA[RK11] .

Image Upload Preview
A cataloger cannot see the image they’ve uploaded when entering metadata. Our CONTENTdm cataloging workflow depends on student workers being able to upload a large number of images and then cataloging each image using a visual preview of the uploaded image as a reference point and guide. Built-in controlled vocabularies, absent in HykuDirect, are also an important part of our CONTENTdm image cataloging workflow[RK10] .
