Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen for Academics
Thanks everyone for the encouraging response! Yamil, the wiki page is a great idea, we can start building out our list there.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen for Academics
Hi Kelly, Another item to add to the list of issues is support for patron record loading. We have developed scripts to load new and update on-file records, but a user-friendly interface similar to vandelay would streamline the process. Some of our college staff would also like to manage record loading themselves. We load student records frequently. Some colleges provide one file at the beginning of each semester, but our community colleges provide weekly files for several weeks before and after the start of each semester. I load 300-400 files each year for the 10 academic institutions in our consortium. -- Martha Driscoll Systems Manager North of Boston Library Exchange Danvers, Massachusetts www.noblenet.org On 7/21/2014 10:11 AM, Kelly Drake wrote: Dear Evergreen Community, For the past year, Fenway Libraries Online (FLO), a consortium of 10 academic libraries in Boston, has been considering a migration to Evergreen.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen for Academics
Martha, I just added a bullet point of improve support for batch patron loading and management and UI for batch patron loading. Also, should I add your organization, North of Boston Library Exchange (NOBLE), to the list? If so, could I add the name of a point person?
