[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Cataloging enhancements for Evergreen
Hi all, Some of you may have seen the RFP that MassLNC posted to this list last month for cataloging enhancements for Evergreen. MassLNC has recently been in discussions with Equinox to proceed with general cataloging improvements as well as enchancements to the MARC batch import and overlay utility. We would be interested in partnering with other organizations that may also benefit from these enhancements. The description of the enhancements are as follows: General cataloging enhancements * The ability to enter call number, barcode number and all copy information on the same screen. * The inclusion of a Fast Item Add link next to the (View MARC) link in the staff client record summary display area (similar to the Fast Item Add link that displays in the MARC record editor). This link will spawn the combined Volume/Copy/Creator/Item Attribute Editor, with the workstation library chosen as the owning library. * When searching for records in the staff client, the ability to immediately land on the bibliographic record instead of the search results screen when there is only one matching search result in the system. * Delimiting the call number so that the prefix resides in a separate field. This prefix can display with the call number in the OPAC and in spine labels. * When adding items, the ability to include the classification scheme and call number prefix in the copy template. * The creation of a parts structure to store volume information for items in a multi-volume set and to allow users to place holds on these specific parts. In essence, users will be able to place a hold on disc 2 of Lost season 3, and, as long as the parts information is entered uniformly, the system should be able to target any copy of that disc, even if it is using a different call number. Batch import overlay improvements: * The ability to configure multiple record matching rules to match on one or more MARC fields using Boolean logic. * User interface improvements to support importing items as part of the batch load, including an option in the user interface to configure the system to import items without overlaying the MARC record. * The ability to detect and inform the user when items don't load because of a duplicate barcode. * The ability to import failure messages that display in the queue and to print, e-mail or export these messages from the queue. * A mechanism that will examine the encoding levels of the record being imported and of the existing record. This mechanism will determine whether to overlay this record based on those encoding levels. If your library is interested in being a development partner on either of these projects, please e-mail me directly at kluss...@masslnc.org.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Floating collections
Are there any libraries considering floating collections using Evergreen? Is there any development going on? Santa Cruz PL is interested in getting in touch with others who might be moving to a floating collection. -- Deborah Lipoma Librarian, Library IT Santa Cruz Public Libraries 224 Church St. Santa Cruz, CA 95060 831-427-7707 ext. 7755 lipo...@santacruzpl.org
Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Floating collections
Well, I actually had to double check the meaning of the phrase, since it's not used in our library context and I was curious.. So I can't actually help you there, but for others like me, I found this quick ppt useful - now obvious of course. http://www.cla.ca/conference/2008/presentation/Quigley-CLA%20presentation%20on%20floating%20collections%202008.ppt Great idea.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Floating collections
Hi George, What we mean by floating collections are those collections that stay at whatever library (or branch) to which they are returned, instead of being returned to the owning library. Sometimes this is accomplished by using a collection code or perhaps setting the owning library to float so wherever such items are returned becomes their new (temporary) home.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Cataloging enhancements for Evergreen
Hi Peter, I'm intrigued by your use of IdeaTorrent to capture enhancement requests from your members. I'd love to hear how that is working for you and understand your workflow. At what point does a good idea become something you will actually pursue as a development project? And what do you do next? Do you have a team that is doing your own development or are you working with a 3rd party? How do you interact with the core developers of Evergreen throughout this process? Lori We've been looking into something like this for RSCEL or maybe the larger community..
