[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Edit Hold Type

[Chauncey]

Is there a way to edit the hold type after a hold has been placed?  For 
example, I would like to change an existing copy hold to a volume hold.
Thanks in advance.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Seeking Partners: Batch Place Holds

[Chauncey]

Several weeks ago, I posted some information on a feature we'd like to develop, 
batch place holds.  This feature would allow libraries to create subscription 
lists of patrons, so one could easily place holds on a single title for 
multiple patrons.

More information on the feature can be found at:
https://yeti.esilibrary.com/dev/public/techspecs/place_holds_multiple_patrons.pdf

We have been looking for potential funding partners for this project.  To date, 
we have three consortia that have expressed interest; however, we'd greatly 
appreciate any other support we can get for this project.  If this feature is 
something your consortium or library may be interested in helping with, please 
contact me by March 1.

Thanks.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Allowing Patrons to Suspend Arrived Holds

[Chauncey]

Before we went any further, I am curious if there is a permission in Evergreen 
that would allow patrons to suspend arrived holds? If so, is there any concern 
about implementing it?  In other words, does it negatively affect other aspects 
of holds?

We would like to allow patrons to suspend arrived holds, so if a hold arrived 
when a patron is not ready for it, he or she could easily suspend it and allow 
it to go to the next patron.  Later, when he or she was ready for it, the hold 
could then be re-activated.

Staff can obviously do this now, but we'd like to give patrons the ability to 
do it themselves, if possible.

Any information is appreciated.
Thanks.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Movies and Z39.5

[Chauncey Montgomery]

Hello all,

I am from Community Library in Sunbury, Ohio, and we are new to 
Evergreen as of March 15 (I think we may be the first Ohio library to 
use Evergreen).  In the past we paid for MARC records, but in the 
migration opted to drop the services and see what we could copy through 
Z39.5 sources.  It has been OK for print titles, but difficult to find 
any sources for movies.


Do you know of any good Z39.5 sources for movie records?

Thanks for your time.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Circulation Reports

Do you know if renewals are counted as a circulation in Evergreen?  We

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Circulation Reports

[Chauncey Montgomery]

So if I ran a report that counted CIRC ID from the CIRCULATION source, 
would that only include the counts of circulations and not renewals?  In 
other words, would I need to also include counts of phone, desk, and 
OPAC renewals to get a full count of activity?

Thanks.

If you just counted Circ ID, that would include renewals, as each
renewal causes a new row in the circ table.

You could filter them out (doesn't sound like you want to) with the
fields previously mentioned (or, you could filter them out based on
the Parent Circulation field, since original circs and their renewals
are linked through that).

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Random Hold Errors

Every once in a while we get random errors when clearing holds from the

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Circulation Statistics

[Chauncey Montgomery]

Greetings Evergreen Community:

Earlier this year, we migrated from TLC Library.Solution 3.3.5 to 
Evergreen 2.1.  The migration took place in March. Since then, 
circulation counts have dropped by approximately 2,500 per month. 
Originally, I thought my reports in Evergreen weren't counting 
everything.  However, I have run multiple reports and always get the 
same numbers. I am fairly certain that our circulation hasn't truly 
dropped; all other areas of library use are consistent with previous 
activity, and the drop in circulation occurs at the point of migration. 
 So, I am beginning to suspect that perhaps TLC counted things 
differently than Evergreen.


I am curious, are there any other libraries that had migrated from TLC 
to Evergreen and saw the same thing happen in circulation? If so, do you 
know what TLC counted that Evergreen doesn't count? Also, I have 
confirmed that I am counting all circulations and renewals in my 
Evergreen reports.


No big deal, but I'd like to be able to explain this a little more 
clearly to my board.


Thanks for the input.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Report Help - filtering items by a stat cat

[Chauncey Montgomery]

I am currently trying to run a report in version 2.3.6 that would 
retrieve items in the collection with a specific stat cat entry.  I have 
set the base filter for Item - Stat Cat entry maps - stat_cat - Stat 
Cat ID with the operator as In list.


When I run the report and select the stat cat from the list, it is 
ignoring the stat cat I selected.  Instead, I get a list of all the 
items in the system.  Should I be using a different filter for such a 
report?  If so, which one?


Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi all,

One big issue for our libraries has been the workflow in checking out
items when the patron sends a family member or another person to pick up
a hold on their behalf. We've been exploring different possibilities for
development to improve this workflow.

There are various ways our libraries handle this situation, but the
following is a likely workflow:

- A patron goes to the library and picks up their spouse's hold. They
might pick it up from a self-service holds shelf or, if the holds shelf
is behind the desk, they will ask staff for the item.

- We have some libraries that use notes to verify who is allowed to pick
up holds. In other libraries, particularly the smaller ones, staff may
know by sight who is allowed to pick up a patron's holds. Libraries also
have different policies on whether the hold should be checked out to the
person who has picked up the hold or the person who originally placed
the hold.

- For those libraries that check out the item to the person who is
picking up the hold, when they perform the checkout, they receive the
message saying that the item is on hold for somebody else. Staff who
have permission can then override that message and continue with the
checkout.

- The hold for the original patron remains, and there is no easy way to
cancel that hold from this screen. Instead, staff need to retrieve the
record for the original patron to cancel the hold. If they don't follow
this last step, the hold remains on the patron's account and gets filled
again.

Circ staff who have the right permissions have the ability to perform
the checkout and cancel the original hold so that the transaction can be
completed. However, it takes several steps, particularly when it comes
to the hold cancellation.

MassLNC is considering a development project that would leverage a
friends infrastructure already built into Evergreen that would allow us
to easily manage who can pick up whose holds and automate the process a
bit. If we decide to move forward with this project, I know I'll be
sharing more information on this list as we work through some of the
implementation details.

However, we also recognize that, even if we provide a means for patrons
to identify who can pick up their holds, there will continue to be
situations where friends/family who have not yet been linked to a
patron's account will be sent to the library to pick up someone's holds.
In those situations, we still would like an easier way to handle the
checkout.

Here are our thoughts for improving the workflow:

- If an item from the hold shelf is checked out to another patron, staff
receive a prompt saying that the item is on hold for somebody else. This
alert should display the name of the person for whom the item is on hold.
- This prompt should provide three options: an option to cancel the
checkout; to proceed with the checkout and remove the original patron
from the holds queue; or to proceed with the checkout but leave the
original patron in the holds queue.
- The system should continue to use the same permissions it does today
to determine if staff is authorized to proceed with the checkout by
overriding the alert or authorized to cancel the hold.

We aren't looking to give staff the ability to do anything they can't
already do. We're basically trying to remove some of the steps required
to complete the transaction.

Before moving further on this project, I wanted to throw the idea out to
the community to see if others would view this additional option on the
prompt as an acceptable workflow improvement.

Thanks!
Kathy

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Standing Hold Requests for Patrons

Our patrons would like us to maintain standing hold requests, similar to 
standing order plans we use with vendors, where they could be placed on 
hold for every book published by certain authors.  We offered this

I was wondering how other libraries approached such requests. If you

Evergreen to help automate such a process?

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Reporting on MARC Fields

[Chauncey Montgomery]

A couple weeks ago, I had posted a question to IRC about reporting on 
the 650 fields in a MARC record.  At the time, I was having no success, 
while the Evergreen report module was reminding me that I was a mere 
mortal. Well, after a little more work and helpful hints from the 
community I had success.  I thought I’d post how I was able to run the 
report, since there has been some other questions circulating about this 
topic.


My original trials were using the source “Flattened MARC Fields.” 
However, I was not getting any results. I later switched to the source 
“Item,” and pulled in the flattened MARC fields and it worked.


Here is what I used in my report:

Filters:
Item :: Shelving Location - Location ID
Item :: Call Number/Volume - Owning Library
Item :: Call Number/Volume - Is Deleted
Item - Call Number/Volume - Bibliographic Record :: Flattened MARC 
Fields - Tag
Item - Call Number/Volume - Bibliographic Record :: Flattened MARC 
Fields - Subfield


Display:
Item - Call Number/Volume - Bibliographic Record :: Simple Record 
Extracts - Title Proper (normalized)
Item - Call Number/Volume - Bibliographic Record :: Flattened MARC 
Fields - Tag
Item - Call Number/Volume - Bibliographic Record :: Flattened MARC 
Fields - Subfield


The final report gives me a simple list of titles with the 650 
information for the specified shelving location. Wunderbar!


Lessons learned:
1. Patience and persistence is imperative with reports (I need to be 
reminded of this often).

2. The Evergreen community rocks; thanks everyone for the suggestions.

Hopefully this helps anyone else trying to build a similar report.

 Jayaraj,
On your filters for tags and subfields, change the operator to in 
list. When you build your report, you'll have empty text boxes to enter 
the information you want to filter on.  You can enter more than one 
element into that filter. For example, with the tag, I can enter 600 in 
the box and click add, then 650 and click add again, and now the report 
should filter on both.  See the attached screenshot for the example.  I 
hope that makes sense. Good luck and keep us posted on the outcome.

You're correct. I ran a test report on 651 and 901 tags with the

without agreeing to the policy.  I am thinking something similar to the 
software agreements that no one ever reads.  I know that would also be 
the case with the self registration, but if a patron ever claimed that 
he didn't know your borrowing policies, then you could simply point out 
that when he registered, he had to confirm that he agreed to the policy 
to complete registration.

Just a thought.

Has anyone added an agreement for patrons to go along with patron
self-registration? Such as “I understand that I am responsible… blah

We would like to have something to agree to when patrons complete the
registration in person and they sign something (we’re thinking of
printing out their registration page).

The two ideas I have are:

-Add a blurb on the online registration so when they click Submit they
are agreeing (con: This disappears with the transaction and can’t be
pointed to later on)

- Add a blurb somehow in the staff patron registration so it prints with
all the info (con: I have no idea how to edit the registration area, or
if there is a character limit to each registration piece in the staff
client)

I like option 2, since it would print and patrons would sign just below
it. We’d then have it all on paper if we needed to go back to it. Our
library has a few custom registration pieces (gender and residency)
which appear at the bottom of the page, so I’m thinking of somehow
adding another piece, which will really just be a few sentences and not
really an option. Perhaps a checkbox that reads “I understand…” and is
auto-checked for every patron (like “Valid Address”).

Interested in any and all ideas on how others might have done this… or
not. Perhaps you’ve done away with the agreement all together (since no
one reads it anyway).

Thanks, team!

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] NoveList Select links

[Chauncey Montgomery]

We are currently running version 2.4.2.  We just added NoveList Select 
content into our catalog, but the links to series titles and read-alikes 
return the following 404 error.



The requested URL /opac/results was not found on this server.


NoveList is trying to link to:
http://sunbury.cool-cat.org/opac/results?bool=andqtype=authorcontains=containsquery=Rowling,%20J.%20K.bool=andqtype=keywordcontains=containsquery=bool=andqtype=keywordcontains=containsquery=sort=loc=1pubdate=isdate1=date2=x=0y=0_adv=1

I'm thinking that perhaps the link is referencing an old JSPAC location, 
or maybe it's something else.  Anyhow, what should the URL be to link to 
a title in TPAC?


Also, they simply had us added the following to the eg_vhost.conf file:

# Novelist
SetEnv OILS_NOVELIST_URL 
http://imageserver.ebscohost.com/novelistselect/ns2init.js
SetEnv OILS_NOVELIST_PROFILE [PROFILE]
SetEnv OILS_NOVELIST_PASSWORD [PASSWORD]


Where does the link to additional titles get changed, or is it something 
that Ebsco has to change on their end?


Thanks in advance for any help.

The Evergreen for Academics group has been discussing several issues of
importance to academic libraries including support for batch loading of
patron records, batch patron update, and batch patron delete.

Academic libraries regularly load student records at the beginning of a
semester to both add new students to Evergreen and update the contact
information and expiration dates of students already in the database.
Loads can be once a semester but can also be more frequent than that.

Even though academic libraries who regularly load student records likely
have a set of scripts in place to automate this task, it would be great
if there were an interface within the client, similar to Vandelay, for
batch loading of patron records.  Batch updates can also be important to
change expiration dates for a group of students or faculty.  As students
leave their academic institution, it is important to delete those
expired records.

I put together a list on the Evergreen for Academic wiki of the
functions that a batch patron interface should have.  This list is based
my experience loading patron files for our 10 academic consortium
members.  Please let me know what issues you encounter and what
functionality should be included on the wiki.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Show available copies link in the catalog

[Chauncey Montgomery]

Kathy,
Of the three options, I like the third option the best.

Another solution would be to change the header Available Copies to 
Potential Copies and then put the link following the header. Under the 
header would list the holding info for the consortium and local library 
as it does now.  The language following would need tweaked as well to 
say X of Y copies available at Such-and-such Library (see attachment).


 Of course, that is a little more complicated and sometimes simple, 
like option 3, is best.


My two cents.

Hi all,

I've periodically heard from our libraries that they would like the
show copies link that displays in the available copies area of the
public catalog record to display even if there are no copies available.

To demonstrate what I'm talking about, if you look at the
record-with-available-copies screenshot, there is a link to show all of
the available copies, which, when clicked, displays copies owned by all
libraries in the consortium. However, if you look at the
record-with-no-available-copies screenshot, that link does not display.
I believe this is because the intent of this particular section of the
screen is to display available copy information, in which case, the
Show link wouldn't make sense if there are zero available copies.

However, there are many cases when a user may start a search scoped to
their own library, but then may want to see all of the copies in the
consortium. For example, if there are zero copies available, but only a
handful of holds, they may want to see the status of the existing copies
to get an idea of whether they are due soon. Or we may have a situation
described by one of our libraries where they already have a hold on the
title, click to the title from their holds list (carrying along the
search scope in the process), and then want to see the status of the
copies owned by other libraries in the consortium.

I think it's a good idea to add a link to display all copies, but the
question is where would be a good place to put. I've thought of a couple
of options:

1 - Display a Show link adjacent to the x current holds with x total
copies statement. The problem here is that the Show link is a bit
redundant if the other Show link is always displaying.
2 - Make the x total copies text in the holds area clickable to show
all copies owned by the consortium. The problem with this approach is it
is inconsistent with what's happening in the available copies area.
3 - Make the existing Show link display regardless of the current
availability status of copies on the record, even if it is a bit
incongruous with what that area is supposed to represent.

Of course, we could always leave that area as it is if other libraries
are happy with the display.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks!
Kathy

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Removing Age Protection after expired

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Selfcheck questions

[Chauncey Montgomery]

As we have begun to implement selfcheck, I have hit some snags and could 
use a little direction.  I was hoping some of you with more experience 
could shed some light on the following items.


1.  We're trying to get selfcheck to ignore copy alert messages, etc., 
so patrons don't see "Unable to check out item [BARCODE]. Please see 
staff," every time there is an issue.  We put the value 
"COPY_ALERT_MESSAGE" in the "selfcheck override events list" in the 
Library Settings Editor.  When a barcode is scanned, we no longer get 
the error; however, nothing happens.  The check out doesn't complete. 
In researching the issue, I came across a thread on the listserv 
(http://markmail.org/message/5wjs5ffyjgykx46z).  It appears to be the 
same issue, but I didn't see a resolution.


2.  How do you configure selfcheck to accept patron barcodes and not 
their login names?


Thanks for any assistance.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] List of new items in catalog and how to get them on to your web page

Mina,

We use a process that was shared with us by the by the Branch District 
Library, , years ago. It is

Following are details of the report:

The report is based on the Item source.

Displayed Fields:
Item -> Call Number/Volume -> Bib Record -> Simple Record Extracts -> 
Title Proper (normalized) : data type is text; field transform is Raw Data
Item -> Call Number/Volume -> Bib Record -> Simple Record Extracts -> 
Author (normalized) : data type is text; field transform is Raw Data
Item -> Call Number/Volume -> Bib Record -> Simple Record Extracts -> 
Publication Year (normalized) : data type is int; field transform is Raw 
Data
Item -> Call Number/Volume -> Bib Record -> Simple Record Extracts -> 
Record ID : data type is id; field transform is Raw Data
Item -> Call Number/Volume -> Bib Record -> Simple Record Extracts -> 
ISBN : data type is text; field transform is Raw Data
Item -> Call Number/Volume -> Call Number Label : data type is text; 
field transform is Raw Data

Item -> Creation Date/Time : data type is timestamp; field transform is Date
Item -> Circulating Library : data type is text; field transform is Raw Data
Item -> Shelving Location : data type is text; field transform is Raw Data

Base Filters:
Item -> Creation Date/Time : field transform is Date; operator is Between
Item -> Circulating Library : field transform is Raw Data; Operator is 
In list


We then export the list to a csv file and put it on the server with a 
php file.  Details on the original php can be found at 
.


Here is what Branch District's list looks like:


We hacked it a bit to shows summaries from the MARC record when you 
mouse over the cover image.  Here is ours:



I'm sure I've missed some details or mistyped something, so let me know 
if you need more information.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] How do you track the use of a library dropbox?

[Chauncey Montgomery]

Yamil,
I think your solution of a dedicated workstation or login seems like the 
easiest way to track it.  You could generate a report to see how many 
transactions occurred for that login.  We haven't implemented it yet, 
but we hope to do the same thing with our self-check workstations.  We 
created a unique login for those workstations so we could see how often 
they get used.

I was wondering what workflows are used at your libraries to track these

Wondering if there are better and/or smarter approaches using my general
