King County Library System also loads MARC records pretty much as described below.

I'm curious as to whether anyone has looked at the value of full integration into the catalog given the explosion of eReaders and patrons being able to access material from web pages?

Here's a link to the Sitka documentation for cataloging non-physical resources: http://docs.sitka.bclibraries.ca/Sitka/current/html/transcendent.html Is that helpful? I feel like I'm missing what your actual question may be.

Unfortunately, in all that time, we've never been able to resolve the issue of not being able to see who has a particular booking. We have point people on staff who print a booking list every day and we track things that way. Not very sophisticated, is it? We've brought up these problems in the past and it seemed that the only resolution would be further development or re-design of the module itself, something that we are not capable of taking on right now. I'd also be interested in hearing if others have better ways of managing the module. Thanks! Gordana >>> Tara Robertson >>> <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> >>> 1/23/2012 7:17 PM >>> >>> Hi, We've started using the bookings module to manage our media bookings. Before it was a manual process and we're having some issues with getting Evergreen bookings to work for us. Here are the main issues: can't edit existing bookings, they must be deleted and re-entered so, an instructor can't pick up a booking late--we have to cancel the booking and redo it at the desk (which involves creating brief bibs for media titles that we've ILLed from other libraries) can't see who has a particular item out on a booking We can't be the only ones who've had difficulties with this. I'm wondering what other libraries are doing to make this work. The first could be solved by being really strict about instructors picking up bookings on time (we are a small art school--this isn't going to happen, nor would it work). The second could technically be solved by a report--though circ staff don't have access to running reports and the time lag in getting the circ supervisor or me to run a report. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer! Cheers, Tara -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Are you using the 'default' theme? You probably are, but if not, you will need to edit the file in the directory matching your theme name rather than 'default'. If you are using 'default', please feel free to post your changes so we can take a look. I'd bet you are pretty close.
