The notes are actually the PINES cataloging coordinator's and not mine (she is not on this discussion list). We would need to check with her before they are placed on the wiki. She is in the process of editing more of our internal cataloging documentation of which this may or may not be a part.

Please share your results when you're done. Also please consider contributing to the Evergreen documentation effort, if that dovetails with the rest of your work. For instance, perhaps you (or someone else reading them) would be interested in reformatting Elaine's cataloging notes for the wiki, for more public accessibility. I see that the "Book of Evergreen" has a nice wide-open place for cataloging! http://open-ils.org/~denials/testbook.html#id3347440 Dan et al: Is the Book of Evergreen generated from the wiki section on End-User Documentation? I can't tell from http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=documentation:manual and http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-user:evergreen_end-us er_documentation <http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-user:evergreen_end-u ser_documentation> -Jodi PS-It might be worth highlighting documentation contribution, either by moving it up in the "How to Contribute" procedures, or by splitting it into its own document. I looked at this 2 or 3 times before I noticed the "Documentation Contribution" info: http://open-ils.org/documentation/contributing.html#Documentation%20Cont ribution More technical info (about where to contribute--wiki, svn, ...) would also be useful.

This is just a small sampling of some of the questions I was seeking answers to. I was able to get some information from other documentation and others by inference but I could not find great details about the functionality of the cataloging module.
