Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Circulation Policy Issue
Hi, For patrons that normally have a semester long due date, I have set the circulation policy for shorter loans with a hard due date of Always Use set to False. The Duration Rule is the actual length of the loan. I hope that helps. Circulate in our policies is set to True but that may vary depending on the overall setup of your policies.

Trying to get a 2 hour check out for reference but it keeps inheriting the check out of a hard due date even though I tell it to use the 2 hour and the Hard due date is blank in the policy page. I believe our original default entry was deleted at one point. I believe we have re-added a Consortium wide default of 28 days but that it not what my reference policy is doing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am not getting any errors, just the hard due date. I have set the Circulation Modifier to 2 Hour, the Location to Reference...reading and re-reading how to set up policies by adjusting the category that is different from the defaultseems like it is picking up a none existent default...

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] FWIW Evergreen Koha sites
I watch Marshall Breeding's Library Automation Industry News site for Evergreen news. http://www.librarytechnology.org/news.pl Interestingly, for every new Evergreen location there are probably at least 4 or 5 new Koha sites. Marshall has two maps showing 1364 Evergreen vs. 2103 Koha. http://www.librarytechnology.org/map.pl?ILS=Evergreen http://www.librarytechnology.org/map.pl?ILS=Koha (Maps may take a while to load) -- Email Signature R.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Vandelay Import and On Order records
Hi Michael, We don't create the on-order items during a load in this way, so I'm not sure how helpful I can be. But one question occurs to me: is there anything in the MARC record you are loading that indicates how many copies were ordered? I know when manually working with a selection list or PO, the defaults we set don't kick in until a lineitem copy is established. I hope you hear from others with good advice.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] FWIW Evergreen Koha sites
I'll echo Jason's sentiment, I'm glad to see open source growing. I wouldn't read too much into a difference in numbers between Koha and Evergreen. They are different creatures that will appeal to different libraries for different reasons. Now, I will be much more interested in comparing Evergreen's current numbers to adoption rates after the new staff client goes live.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] FWIW Evergreen Koha sites
I'd be curious to see how the proprietary ILSs are doing in comparison. For every new Evergreen or Koha site, some pay-to-play company is realizing that they should have done a better job. Ditto Jason's sentiment. Lise Keppler On Fri, Jun 13, 2014 at 10:05 AM, Jason Etheridge ja...@esilibrary.com wrote: Marshall has two maps showing 1364 Evergreen vs. 2103 Koha.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Open-ils-general Digest, Vol 96, Issue 14
Hi Michael and all, Although we are only in the testing phase I have discovered when uploading records using the Acquisitions Load MARC Order Records that default barcode prefix and call numbers are applied to copies when the line item is ordered. So the purchase order has to be activated before those defaults are applied. I can't say if Vandelay's catalog interface would operate any differently since we haven't gone that route yet. but this may be a clue for you.
