         Component: OPAC

This is in reference to the  'Cart' - short term list making facility in the
OPAC.  It is useful for making lists, to download a bibliography or to print
out, or e-mail.  But especially now that our building is closed, patrons are
thinking that it's a way to order materials (similar to holds, which we don't
use).
'Cart' has transactional implications - people are used to seeing it in online
shopping sites. If you put something into a cart and finish the ordering
process, you expect to receive it.

While 'Cart' may work in some libraries, it doesn't work everywhere. It's also
ambiguous with cart used elsewhere in Koha.
Would it be possible to either have a short pull down menu of names for this
feature in the opacbookbag setting, or the ability in System Preferences to
name it ourselves, or, change the name to something more logical.
Some ideas: 'My List'  'Temporary List' 'My Shelf' and whatever happened to
'Book Bag'?
