Hi all,
I'm wondering if any site has patron self-serve holds and how you use
Evergreen to help?
For example, at check-in, are you printing a slip with 3 letters of
patron surname and last 4 digits of patron barcode? Have you built a
workaround like cutting and pasting into a Word document and printing?
Or some other little tool? Are you able to print to a thermal printer?
We've done so by editing the code that creates the hold slip right in
xul/server/circ/util.js. We chop out most of the data and just print
portions of the name on the slip, increasing the font size to something
like 16pt.
Not all of our libraries use self-serve so we cannot edit the holds
slip database wide.
Neither do ours, so we wrap these changes in a big IF statement to only
make the edits for the desired pickup locations.
