Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen Community Web Team Notes / 9-2-10
I'm with Brandon - here's another warm body that cares about Evergreen. Count me in, too. I may not be able to answer everything, but I'd be willing to help out. And if I can't answer something, I think I'd be able to find someone who could. (And not Jason or Dan - that would sort of defeat the purpose.) So you can add me to that feedback email if you're looking for more volunteers. Amy From: Brandon W.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Holds Aging
Hi Joan, In our consortium of 72 libraries (live), libraries can place 6-month age protection on their new items. Some choose to use it just for the popular materials, but not things like nonfiction. That's up to library. Both library staff and patrons are happy with this arrangement, since the materials stay with the home library's patrons for that timeframe. Let me know if you have more questions on this.

Incidentally, you can have settings here other than 3-month and 6-month (and also control how far-reaching they are--system, branch, etc), but these options are global across all libraries. -- Jason Etheridge | VP, Tactical Development | Equinox Software, Inc. / Your Library's Guide to Open Source | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: ja...@esilibrary.com | web: http://www.esilibrary.com
Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Holds Aging
PINES libraries use age protection for print materials and are happy with it. Any materials new to a library are given the 3 or 6 month protection status to keep their new materials in the branch (3 months) and system (6 months). Not all libraries need to use the 3 months protection status. It is generally used by multi-county systems where purchasing is handled by the individual county or branch. This keeps the new item in the branch that purchased it for 3 months, then it goes to the system for 6 months then allows holds across PINES after the 6 month mark. It is up to the library whether or not to assign the 6 month status to an individual item. The State Library does not use it at all and most libraries don't use it on replacement copies. Some use it for older titles new to the library and some do not. While staff is relatively happy with age protection, many PINES patrons are not. They of course want to have immediate access to new materials that their system has not purchased. Since the PINES consortium does not allow holds on AV materials outside the home system of the patron, libraries typically only use the age protection on print materials. However, some libraries may use the 3 month protection to keep AV in the purchasing branch or county before it is circulated to the other system libraries. Elaine J.
