Summary: allow users to put things in lists that are not in the
catalog (free text entries to lists)
Severity: enhancement

One of our libraries came up with the idea that it would be cool to allow
library users (and presumably staff) to put things on lists that are not in the
catalog.
One possible way to do it:
in the lists interface, have a "add your own item" form, that allows entering
title, author fields.
In the list display, list those user created items with the title and author
linked to searches for that exact title/author string. The idea being that a
user could put a book they knew was coming on their reading list, but that
wasn't already in the catalog, and easily search for it later.
Another example would be for librarians to use this to create award winners
lists of items that were award winners, but displaying title/authors that the
library didn't own alongside titles/authors that the library *did* own.
I think there are more applications for this - I recall there were several more
when I floated the idea originally in the IRC channel.
It's a nice-to-have, not a must-have. Pretty cool feature though, I think.
