Hi all,
There was some interest in the Slack meeting today about the "Something broken? Report it" link that PVCC has on all of our e-resource records. I got the idea from VCU's interface, where they have a "Report a problem" link that pulls the metadata from the record and inputs it into a form where users can enter their contact info and report the issue. Emily gave me the idea to try this using Google Forms (since VCU's is built using PHP and Google Forms is out-of-the-box), and it worked! I got my first report this week from a student.
I've attached the instructions on how I did this, in case others are interested in doing something similar! Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, or if something doesn't make sense.
