[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] What are EG consortia doing with status displays in PAC?
Hi Evergreeners, As a Sitka library, I'm curious what other consortia are doing in regard to displaying status in the pac. I am referring to the copy information that is displayed such as: available, checked out, in process, in transit, reshelving, missing, on holds shelf, on order, mending etc. Currently, we display 9 of the 19 available. I'm interested in hearing what other Evergreen consortia are doing. For example, did all of your libraries agree to a specific list to be displayed? Has your consortia or IT done something else that is really innovative? We have both public and academic libraries in our consortia, small libraries and multi-site so everyone has slightly different needs and uses of the available status terms.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Documentation updates
Documentation updates: On the documentation test site: http://libdog.mohawkcollege.ca/evergreen_documentation/draft/html/index.html i've changed the evergreen logo to the white background logo. I've updated a number of sections of the Evergreen documentation. I found much of content including screen shots on SITKA's DocBook site. I hope they don't mind. I've tried to make it as generic as possible. I've updated the documentation outline page to reflect the content sources. I Would also encourage people to begin looking over what is in place at: http://libdog.mohawkcollege.ca/evergreen_documentation/draft/html/index.html and begin to revise, add content , comment or flush out some of the details. Again, you could either get into github and edit directly or send text snippets of fixes or improvements. We really need a lot of testers and editors now to fix all my careless errors.;-) I email the other evergreen lists in case folks from those lists are not on the DIG list, but would like to send content.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Documentation updates
Hello Robert and All, I've updated a number of sections of the Evergreen documentation. I found much of content including screen shots on SITKA's DocBook site. I hope they don't mind. I've tried to make it as generic as possible. I've updated the documentation outline page to reflect the content sources. I've been in contact with the folks at SITKA for the documentation I modified and generic-ified for training our library system and then submitted to the list. The share-and-share-alike licensing permits this, provided they receive attribution for their share of the work. I used the following statement: This documentation in based on that made available through SITKA Evergreen (http://sitka.bclibraries.ca/) and on the documentation available on the Evergreen website (http://evergreen-ils.org). Perhaps someone has a good idea of how a statement like this might be made apparent on the sections that are heavily reliant on one source?

Hello Melissa, We're formerly a consortia now working as multi-branch library, but one thing we're doing differently is not displaying a column for every copy status. Instead, we output a single copy status column, with the one or more copy status values (which is usually 2 or less) for that bib record in a single cell. We're very tight on available 'real estate' so this format works better for us, especially since we haven't yet fully removed some of the redundancy in our copy statuses. eg. http://catalogue.nrcan.gc.ca/opac/en-CA/skin/nrcan-rncan/xml/rdetail.xml?r=8070295 Regards, George Duimovich NRCan Library -Original Message- From: open-ils-general-boun...@list.georgialibraries.org on behalf of Melissa Lowenberg Sent: Tue 10/08/2010 3:30 PM To: open-ils-general@list.georgialibraries.org Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] What are EG consortia doing with status displaysin PAC?
