[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Special circulations problem
Title: Sincerely, Would anyone happen to know how to clear an item out of the Other/Special Circulations category on a patron's account (version 3.3)? The item has no bills attached that I can see and has been circulating among other patrons, but I cannot figure out a way to delete it from this patron's account.

Hi Chris,
I confirm that the new MARC batch import/export interface
currently lacks that functionality, and it looks like a bug
report was already filed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1830923.
As a workaround for now, the previous import/export
interface can continue to be accessed at https://your.evergreenserver.org/eg/staff/cat/catalog/vandelay.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Floating collections
Title: Sincerely, Josh: Looking over your documentation, I just had a couple of questions, if you have time. It looks like we are using what you call the "traditional" BHSSO, but if I understand you correctly, changing it to the FIFO method will not solve our problem because the new floating item we check in will still go first to the patron of that owning library even if that patron isn't first on the holds list? Does it seem to you that the only solution to this problem right now is to create another org unit for these items for the FIFO method (with Hold Priority at the top of the list) to truly work correctly? Thanks again for your help, Chris On 3/4/2016 10:29 AM, Josh Stompro wrote: Sincerely, Hello Chris, I believe you will need to adjust your Best-Hold Selection Sort Order (BHSSO) so that owning location doesn’t get priority. The official docs are at http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.8/_best_hold_selection_sort_order.html I’ve been working on some updates to the docs that may help. https://gist.github.com/stompro/42eb6cbe2c1db5f12324 You may be currently using hprox as one of your first sorts, which always fills holds at the Owning locations first. If you switch to pprox then you will fill holds at the checkin location first. If you only want to change the BHSSO for the floating items, then you could create a new org unit just to own those items. The BHSSO is applied based on the items owning location. Keep in mind also, that items don’t float until all holds are filled and the item goes to reshelving. So an item with many holds won’t change circ lib until all the holds are filled. This has caused problems for our staff since they like to see where items are filling holds, and it isn’t easy when working with floating items since the catalog view isn’t accurate until all the holds are filled and the circ location gets updated. You have to look at the last checkout location to see where an item is actually at. Let me know if you have more questions, I would like to update the docs if they don’t cover certain things.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Duplicate entry in authors.tt2 (is this bug 958954?)
Title: Sincerely, Regarding Dan's list, which is a good breakdown of the various issues, Part (d) really should be a case of one or the other. There should not be both a $e relator term and $4 relator code in the same field. I am not an RDA expert (or a particularly big fan), but if we are looking to the future I think the $e relator term should take precedence over the $4 relator code. All the RDA records we are seeing are using the $e rather than the $4 and when our consortium just went through the RDA process on all of our records with Backstage, all the $4 codes were converted to $e relator terms.
