Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen Title Control Number (TCN)
Is there any way possible to display the field 001 (Control No.), Hi Joel, display it where? and is there a way I can modify it if I don’t want it to be automatically generated for a particular Bib. I don't think Evergreen mucks with the 001 field normally, but you could certainly setup a database trigger to modify or insert one as needed. record or does Evergreen use a different MARC field for the TCN? Evergreen keeps an internal record id for each bib, which is exposed in the staff client in a few places as Record ID. It also tracks a TCN value and TCN source, but does this outside of the MARC record itself. There is a list of tags in the MARC that Evergreen will look at when deciding upon an external TCN value, but if that value becomes auto-generated, it is not going to be inserted back into the MARC by default. When exporting records from Evergreen, the record id, TCN source, and TCN value is usually written to a 901 or 903 tag with various subfields, though I forget the specifics. I am also looking for some quick tips on setting up VuFind as an alternative OPAC for Evergreen if anyone is able to help. I don't think anyone has written a connector yet, but you could use the extras/fast_extract script for producing a periodic dump of bib records for VuFind to ingest. There are lots of API's that a connector could use for finding things like item status, etc. Someone just needs to do the work.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] New Evergreen released -- Version 1.6.0.2
Hello Mike, Will the Staff Clients need to be upgraded to 1.6.0.2 version to be compatible with an 1.6.0.2 server upgrade, or can we continue to use 1.6.0.0 clients post upgrade for a while. Helpful for us to know in advance since we'd have to coordinate deployments of staff client upgrades with certain of our branch locations.

My general goal has been to keep the client compatible with the server within a given major branch, like 1.4.x, 1.6.x, etc. -- Jason Etheridge | VP, Tactical Development | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Evergreen Experts | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: ja...@esilibrary.com | web: http://www.esilibrary.com Please join us for the Evergreen 2010 International Conference!
