Aaah, that makes sense now!
Since you're hacking that code anyway, what if you built some additional
if-then logic into it (I won't try to attempt writing the code at this
moment)...
for each node (a or c)...
if node is an a
set summaryvar = a
else if node is a c
set summaryvar = summaryvar + c
end
end
Then you wouldn't have any need to change the summaryplus.tt2

Hi Ben, Terran, folks,
Thanks much for the replies...I guess I should explain where that subfield C is
coming in. I hacked the misc_util.tt2 file to include that extra subfield c
(Our catalogers wanted it to show up in the catalog). Here's my alterations to
that file:
args.summaries = [];
FOR sub IN xml.findnodes('//*[@tag=520]/*[@code=a or @code=”c”]');
args.summaries.push(sub.textContent);
END;
args.summary = (args.summaries.size) ? args.summaries.0 : '';
As far as it goes, it's not the end of the world...I was just curious if this
was possibleI guess I'm so used to dealing with regular HTML that the *.tt2
files are still somewhat mysterious
Appreciate you taking a look at this!

Hmmph... yes, it looks like it's treating the content from each node the same
regardless of which subfield it came from.
Because of that, if you removed line 6 from the summaryplus.tt2 files, it would
remove all the line breaks and if there were multiple 520s it would run them
all together.

Well actually, I think this is an odd MARC issue, where the Provided by
publisher line is part of another subfield. 520c, in the case of that record
anyways.
That confuses me slightly cause of the following:
In summaryplus.tt2, the default seems to grab and create spans for
attrs.summaries (which whenever I see attrs, I go to check
misc_util.tt2 to see how it comes up with those attributes). But in
misc_util.tt2, the attrs.summaries seems to generate using only 520a data. No
mention of c. So something is roping in extra content unexpectedly there.
Otherwise, I would expect that multiple 520 statements would result in span
content that is broken up into separate lines.

Try this search: http://blanchester.cool-cat.org/eg/opac/record/948395.
Once the record appears on the screen, scroll down to the Summaries More to

If I wanted to edit how this displays in the TPAC, for example removing the
line break and pushing the Provided by publisher back up to the main
paragraph, how would I do this?
If it was just regular html code, it would be a simple matter of removing the
line break. However, since the tpac is using *.tt2 files-which file builds
these results?
I thought it might be the extras.tt2 file, but after perusing that one for a

I'm no expert, just trying to fix our TPAC, so if you can share any fixes,

The results are:
Sandford, John, 1944- Cook, Michele.
Thanks for providing the example. It turns out that
opac/parts/record/authors.tt2 is in fact responsible for displaying
100 1# ‡a Sandford, John, ‡d 1944 February 23-
as
Sandford, John, 1944-
or more to the point:
span class=rdetail-author-div typeof=Person property=author
resource=#schemacontrib1
a href=/eg/opac/results?...
span property=nameSandford, John,/span
span property=birthDate1944/span-/span/a
nbsp
/span
Specifically, as part of generating the schema.org markup, only the year
component of 1944 February 23- is kept. The normalization is done in the
following lines of authors.tt2:
IF subfield.textContent.match('^\s*\d{4}');
birthdate = subfield.textContent.replace('^\s*(\d{4}).*$', '$1'); END;
I *think* that better markup for the birth date in this case would be the
following, but I'm hoping Dan Scott can advise further:
time property=birthDate datetime=1944-02-231994 February 23-/time
Or, to avoid putting in a full date string parser into the template, perhaps
something like this:
time property=birthDate datetime=19441994 February 23-/time

On our Evergreen 2.7.2 system, when we search for an author, say Ernie Pyle, the results list includes a full birthdate in this format: Author--YEAR-Month-Day However, when looking at individual title results, the format is only this: Author--YEAR I know more than likely it's something with the authors.tt2 file (misc tt2 file as well???) but not quite sure Have you run into this before?

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] self-check receipt config?
Hi all, I've been working with one of our libraries on the self-checkout and we're running into issues configuring the receipt printer. . A regular 8.5 x 11 personal laser prints things out on a single sheet pretty well, but using a label/receipt paper printer, there's an excessive amount of feed. The library was able to solve this issue with their regular staff-client workstations (using the same printers) by making changes in the printer settings editor. However, with the self-check, I'm thinking this is not an option? I've checked the documentation, some of the links mentioned here, http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=scratchpad:simple_self_check, and a few other places, but can't seem to find anything too specificmaybe I'm overlooking stuff.

Hi Tony, Easier then with standard web browsers like Chrome/Firefox. I would expect there to be browser settings available for per-printer configuration, or alternatively, you could configure the OS (Windows, or whatever) to print a specific way by default too, and then tell the browser to use that printer. Sometimes what we do is to configure Windows to use a receipt printer by default, and then adjust paper type, etc. in the printer's configuration in Windows instead of the application specific (Evergreen, web browsers, whatever) and that can work too. If it's the only printer attached to the machine anyways.

Hi all, Just wanted to say “thank you” for all the good discussion(s) about this. We are now evaluating the responses and working with our catalogers to see how they want to tackle this issue.

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.

Hi Kathy, folks, Thanks much for the update-this helps! Given this, has any other library with a mix of old and new records (pre-RDA and newer RDA) found a work-around for this in your authors.tt2 file? If you have would you be willing to share your coding or any other information? I've checked here, http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.7/_designing_your_catalog.html, but didn't see anything about custom designs on the logic. I'm thinking that adjusting the labels would be the quick fix, but our older records would not display too well --Tony Tony Bandy to...@ohionet.orgmailto:to...@ohionet.org OHIONET 1500 West Lane Ave. Columbus, OH 43221-3975 614-484-1074 (Direct) 614-486-2966 x19 From: Open-ils-general [mailto:open-ils-general-boun...@list.georgialibraries.org] On Behalf Of Kathy Lussier Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2015 2:48 PM To: open-ils-general@list.georgialibraries.org Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Duplicate entry in authors.tt2 (is this bug 958954?) Hi Tony, I think this is a different issue. The issue here is that we previously added (Author) or other relator information in parentheses for pre-RDA records. Now that we have RDA records, the record is also now displaying the relator information from subfield e.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Z39.50 Index Field Maps and the Local Catalog--can you help?
Hi all, Hope the conference is going well? I was wondering if anyone on the list can help me with a Z39.50 Index Field Maps and searching the local catalog question. If so, thanks! --- Here's the scenario: Library A has a new DVD that they would like to add to their catalog. Using the Z39.50 portion of the current 2.7.X staff client, is there a way to search the local catalog for any existing bibs before the library decides to bring in a new bib record? I would think they could select the drop-down to say visual materials, choose their local catalog and bring up by title, author, etc. etc. a list of bibs. This way they could choose to overlay or just attach an item. Is this logic right? Would a better choice be to choose the TPAC instead of the Z39.50 portion of the staff client perhaps? --- Part 2: Given the Index Field Mapping Options on the Evergreen system, does that relate in any way to the scenario above? I'm trying to logic my way through this. The documentation (see: http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.8/_z39_50_search_enhancements.html) helps in a generic sense, but I'm not sure how this relates to searching your own local catalog for visual materials. --- Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide... --Tony Tony Bandy to...@ohionet.orgmailto:to...@ohionet.org OHIONET 1500 West Lane Ave. Columbus, OH 43221-3975 614-484-1074 (Direct) 614-486-2966 x19

There's the edit_date field, but I wasn't sure if that would be the most accurate method.

Hi all, Was working on some TPAC edits for our 2.7.X version of Evergreen today, and I've come across something I can't quite seem to find any information on. Maybe you can help? -- In the My Lists part of the TPAC, when our patrons save items to their lists, the author is quite often displayed as this: Clancy, Tom, 1947-2013, author However, we just want the display to show this: Clancy, Tom, 1947-2013 Or maybe even this: Clancy, Tom -- I've been looking at the lists.tt2 file to see if I can round up any details, but the closest I've come to is attrs.author, which really doesn't help. I've also been looking at: * http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.7/_my_lists.html * http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.3/_designing_your_catalog.html But I can't seem to turn anything up on customizing the display Any thoughts you can share on this will be most appreciated--Thanks in advance for your help! --Tony Tony Bandy to...@ohionet.orgmailto:to...@ohionet.org OHIONET 1500 West Lane Ave. Columbus, OH 43221-3975 614-484-1074 (Direct) 614-486-2966 x19

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Question about best practices....
Hello everyone, This group has been very helpful with all of my questions, so if I may, just throw one out there to get folks opinions, best practices, etc., I would be grateful! In the case of our consortium, several time our catalogers need to update 2-3k records at a time, usually to alter a fixed field in the copy record. I know that we can upload a list of barcodes via the staff client and then put them into a copy bucket to do batch edits. Realistically however, at least in cases I've tried, we're finding out that this doesn't really work too well, except in small numbers of records. What does everyone do if you need to update thousands of records at time? Is this something that is being considered for the web client, now that sprint 2 is the next target? I do realize that it's possible to jump down via the console and do things via SQL, but given the skill set needed to run operations like that, not too practical to expect catalogers and other library staff to have the time and knowledge to do this. Any workarounds, etc. that you may have come up with would be appreciated!!! --Tony Tony Bandy to...@ohionet.orgmailto:to...@ohionet.org OHIONET 1500 West Lane Ave. Columbus, OH 43221-3975 614-486-2966 x19

Currently we’re running 2.7.2 of Evergreen. I know we have been working with the CSS to adjust colors, and the table for checked out items for this particular library, but I wasn’t sure if that would affect the whole display? I have been using Quirk Tools Screenfly (http://quirktools.com/screenfly/) for testing parts of our TPAC. The mobile catalog, searching, viewing results, etc. all look pretty good, however, when a user logs in to their account for this particular library and goes to look at their checked out items, the formatting gets a little “squashed”. I just added this information on to the LP bug you had opened previously about mobile development. I’ve attached a screenshot that shows this. Anything above 600px looks ok (Other Example). The screenshot (Example One) is from an iPhone 5s running Safari. Do you think it’s just a matter of us tweaking the code for this library a bit too much? Yes, I'm sure that's the case. Check out the webby test server (which is running pretty close to stock TPAC code); connection info is at http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-docs:webclient. Currently there are two items checked out to the admin user and there is no horizontal scrolling or squished display occurring using the Quirk Tools Screenfly with iPhone 3/4, iPhone 5, Galaxy S2, or even the Blackberry 8300. Maybe I could roll the changes back and then re-apply piece by piece to make sure it’s not something else? It seems likely that the id acct_checked_main_header might have been removed, or the structure of table#acct_checked_main_header td was somehow disrupted; that would throw off the stock mobile CSS. In general, this is a good reminder to check problems against a stock version of Evergreen to ensure it's not a local issue before reporting them as a bug (I need that reminder myself from time to time!)

So if you're viewing at 615 px, it will not kick in the mobile view version, of course. At 600 or less, it will kick in the mobile CSS. Long-term, I do believe that we need work to enhance the catalog to support multiple viewing resolutions. And there is Dan Scott's filed bug to deal with designing with mobile in mind first (https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1413730). Not sure where that's headed yet, but keeping more mobile views than just smartphones seems like a good thing to do. In the meantime, you can adjust when mobile kicks in (what if you wanted it at 650 px?) by changing the CSS file for TPAC. Or you can help start creating a good middle sized CSS for view on slightly larger environments, like tablets.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Simple self check
Hi Michele, folks, I apologize for not responding sooner on this, and please pardon any duplication with my responses below. We were also having issues similar to you in that receipts wouldn't work as they should. We're (COOL, cool-cat.org) are running a bit earlier version than you (2.4.2), but here's what we did to get things working: -- 1. Copied the default selfcheck templates from the openils directory to the custom templates folder for the library. 2. Made sure the initial connection was at https. (See https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1047485) 3. In notification/action triggers, copied the default self-check receipts (4 of them) to custom templates for our library. I also looked at https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/793627 and removed the hours from the template from div to div and removed the hours notation from the head of the template as a precaution ([%- SET hours = lib.hours_of_operation -%]). 4. Things seemed to work a bit better, but we were still encountering problems with receipts with browsers other than Chrome. I tested in Windows 7, 8, and Mavericks the following browsers: Internet Explorer 11 Latest version of Firefox (can't keep track of their versions--too many to keep up with) Latest version of Chrome Latest version of Safari 5. Using the Chrome 'inspect element' option on the self-check interface, I also noticed on our system some 404 errors about missing JS scripts. This may or may not be relevant, but is something I noticed. 6. Finally, working with ESI, we upgraded our version of OpenSRF. This last point seemed to really help. -- After all these steps, our self-check seems to be working good at this point in Chrome and Firefox. IE support continues to be an issue, but looking through earlier threads, the interface was originally designed with Firefox, etc. in mind...I know developing for IE can be troublesome.

Hi everyone, Just wanted to check-in with the list and see if anyone else has ever seen any inconsistent Z39.50 network errors on their Evergreen clients when attempting to import records?

There's really no consistent pattern that we've been able to discern here.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Adding MARC fields to TPAC display (template variables)
Hi all,
Just fishing for some help this afternoon. Perhaps this should have gone
to the developers list. If so, I apologize in advance.
We're looking to enhance the MARC display in our TPAC (2.3.6) with the
addition of some MARC fields. While I did find this,
http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.3/_designing_your_catalog.html#_configuring_and_customizing_the_public_interface,
in the documentation, I'm having some mental issues figuring out what this
documentation actually means on a practical basis. For example, the
documentations says that if I want to add a MARC 260 field I should do this:
---
...to map the template variable *args.pubdates* to the date of publication
MARC field 260, subfield c, add these lines to *misc_util.tt2*:...
args.pubdates = [];
FOR sub IN xml.findnodes('//*[@tag=260]/*[@code=c]');
args.pubdates.push(sub.textContent);
END;
args.pubdate = (args.pubdates.size) ? args.pubdates.0 : ''
You will then need to edit the *
/openils/var/templates/opac/parts/record/summary.tt2* file in order to get
the template variable for the MARC field to display.
For example, to display the date of publication code you created in the *
misc_util.tt2* file, add these lines:
[% IF attrs.pubdate; %]
span itemprop=datePublished[% attrs.pubdate | html; %]/span
[% END; %]
---
That's understandable to me somewhat, but what if I wanted to add other
MARC fields besides the 260? What if I wanted to add a 5XX field or
something else? What template variable should I use? What exactly is a
template variable? Is there a list of template variables somewhere that I
haven't found? Is this a table name somewhere in the DB that I'm
overlooking? What position (or where does it go) in this file? I
apologize if this is an easy question, but being a regular librarian and
not a developer, these terms are still somewhat cryptic to me.
If anyone has examples or sites that could demonstrate with a template
variables for dummies approach, I would be forever in your debt!
Thanks,
Tony

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Best method of removing items from bibs?
Hi all, Was wondering if I could post this out to the group for ideas? Working with a massive list of electronic resource bib records that are needing some mistakenly added item records removed from them. I've been able to create a list of item barcodes in the reports module. Is there a way I can mass add these items via a copy bucket so that I can delete them all at once from my list of bib records? Oris there a faster (better, cheaper, etc.) method of mass deleting item records from the bibliographic records that I'm not aware of? This involves electronic resource records, which don't need any attached item records. PSQL operation maybe that you have used before?

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Best method of removing items from bibs?
Hi Sarah, folks, That's awesome...I was so focused on using the bucket approach, that I neglected to think of that part of the staff-client. Thank you so much! --Tony On Tue, Mar 26, 2013 at 3:33 PM, Sarah Childs sar...@zionsville.lib.in.uswrote: Hi, Tony. From the staff client side you can import barcodes into the item status screen to delete them using the Upload from File button. If all your report has is the barcodes you can save the excel file and import it straight into Item Status. (If the report has other fields, strip them from the file) However, I'd recommend breaking them into smaller chunks (100-200 or so) at a time. I just copy and paste groups from my report into a notepad file. Then you click the Upload from File, select your file and the items load. Highlight them and delete the whole group. It's a pretty quick and easy process. But I bet there would be a better way from the back end if it's a truly massive group.

In our testing, if your home library has SMS turned on, you place a hold from there (requesting SMS notification) and the checkout library has SMS turned off, you will get a SMS notification. The SMS yes/no is set on the hold record, as such, if the SMS Hold Notification Action Trigger is turned on but SMS is completely off in settings, staff can edit the hold (from the staff client) to add the phone number/carrier and it WILL generate a hold notification (or at least it did in our test environment). Not sure how hairy this would be to actually implement or how useful having the option to configure this setting per-library/branch would be, in terms of number of libraries who would use the option. I would just turn it on for everyone. If a library doesn't want to use it, they don't have to fill it in and if the patrons want it, they can enter that at the time of placing a hold.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] SMS setup for consortium--all at once?
Hi all, Please pardon any duplication but trying to figure out if the Evergreen SMS setup can be done on a per library basis in a consortium? I realize the system options can be set this way in the library settings editor, but when we did this, every library in the consortium had the SMS option, not just the one that was asking. Looking at this post (https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/884254), I'm thinking that maybe editing the TPAC on a per-library basis would enable us to only have this for the libraries that need this? Also note that from the post above, I did find this: Also, it's probably best to have just one sms.enable for the whole consortium. If you mix and match on/off settings here, then user preferences for SMS can get blown away if the user updates their settings in the TT-OPAC at an org where SMS is disabled.

See also the following from the description in the OU setting: Unless you are carefully silo-ing patrons and their use of the OPAC, the context org for this setting should be the top org in the org hierarchy, otherwise patrons can trample their user settings when jumping between orgs. However, if you have a different tpac template for the library that wants SMS, maybe you can hide the SMS options in the template for your other libraries? Off the top of my head, I'm thinking there are three places where you would need to hide SMS: the record page where you have the option to text the call number, the place hold page, and the myopac notification preferences page. Just a thought, but it's not something I've tested so I don't know how well it would work.

I replied that there wasn't one but anything is possible. What I didn't say is that I've always wanted to have one and tossed the idea around with colleagues quite a bit. Frankly, the lead up to the conference in Vancouver has gotten me thinking about it again. I've heard from a lot of folks that they would love to go but they can't travel far, etc... Now, I don't want to create a false impression - I heard this to some degree with Indiana and Michigan as well but it is more dramatic with us being on the opposite coast for this one. But, that's bound to happen with a conference that floats around. Still, we have a lot of systems that would love to have an event that was regional and possible to send people to without much hardship. There are lots of folks that can't go to any conference unless it is very close. This would be small scale even, probably a half day on a Friday and full day on a Saturday, so day and a half. It would be put on very cheap so as to be accessible by small libraries that could not normally send people. It would be in as central a location as possible to potential participants and at a cheap hotel. As it is we have Georgia and South Carolina well established with Evergreen consortiums. I think Georgia already has some internal events for staff but I don't know to what scale or nature. However, we also have an effort North Carolina that is growing and one in Virginia that is in progress. So there is a potential population for a series of roundtables and seminars to provide information, networking and a chance for community engagement. So, that is my thinking.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] TPAC 2.3 Advanced Search Filters--any thoughts?
Hi all,
Working with some of our libraries on the 2.3 TPAC this afternoon, they
wanted to change some of the labels included in the lists under Literary
Form, Audience, and Item Type.
However, I'm not quite sure where to go to do that. So far, I've searched
the following:
--
http://www.open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=dev:opac:template-toolkit#the_code
--http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.3/_tpac_url.html
--http://template-toolkit.org/docs/index.html
Right now, I'm digging into config.tt2, where is mentions the following:
Define the advanced search limiters and labels.
# adv_label is the (translated) label for the limiter
# adv_attr is an array of possible limiters, the first one that has any
# values will be used
# adv_filter is the same as adv_attr, but for search filter groups
# adv_break will end the current row. If specified with a label/attr it
# will do so *after* that limiter.
# adv_special will drop in a special entry:
# lib_selector will put the search library box (with limit to available)
# pub_year will put the publication year box
# sort_selector will put the sort results selector
search.adv_config = [
{adv_label = l(Item Type), adv_attr = [mattype, item_type]},
{adv_label = l(Item Form), adv_attr = item_form},
{adv_label = l(Language), adv_attr = item_lang},
But I'm not seeing anything for the Search Filters option...would that be
the adv_filter? Should I just enter some strings similar to the
search.adv_config lines above?
If you have any links or information on how to do this, I would be
eternally grateful.
Tony

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Apostrophe and Title Searches (still an issue?)
Hi Ben, folks, So basically, we need to force our system to reindex our bib records...and to do this, we would reingest our records? (Sorry, still grappling with understanding what all that means and entails...) Does this mean a physical dump and reloading of the records or is there a command we can give to force the system to do this with the records in place?

We weren't as selective, since we ended up adding new metabib indexes which required us to reingest all of our bib records anyways. I think what happened was that in the 2.1-2.2 upgrade something changed with the way that the title index was created, but only a portion of bibs were reindexed (for different reasons). Updating the bibs to force a reingest is definitely what I would suggest to fix the issues you're seeing. -- Ben On 11/20/2012 01:45 PM, Ian Bays wrote: We found that after upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2 the existing titles did not behave with apostrophes for title or keyword searching. We observed that newly catalogued or edited titles did search OK with or without apostrophes. So we investigated and found out that by just touching some of the metabib records that caused them to be re-indexed. such as: update metabib.title_field_entry set source = source where source in (select record from asset.call_number where owning_lib in (select id from actor.org_unit where parent_ou in (select id from actor.org_unit where shortname = 'AB' OR shortname = 'CD'))) and value like '%''%'; and update metabib.keyword_field_entry set source = source where source in ... We chose to only update those with apostrophes in the value field. This was to do it for bibs used in systems 'AB' and 'CD' It did the job quite nicely. I figured we must have missed something in the upgrade so just put it down to experience. Not sure if there's a neater way of touching groups of records for re-indexing if ever needed. Good luck.

I know some people (hey bshum!) have expressed a want / need to break the colors out more granularly, if there's some common ground that we could find and merge to Evergreen core, that would probably help sites with their customization efforts.

The most annoying thing that can go wrong with using pgAdmin in my experience is opening a table to view all rows and not remembering said table contains thousands (if not millions) or entries. Like clicking view all on biblio.record_entry would show me every bib record in my database. Doing so tends to crash out pgAdmin as it tries in vain to open all the rows for me.

At that time I'll create a 2.2 staff client of osX out of necessity. Between Sitka and Balsam and a few others there are some osX clients around however. Tony, your help would be Greatfully accepted!

Is it strategy, because there is no need, or like with some other things, not enough volunteers? I don't think it's a strategy per se, just more a lack of volunteers. If somebody were to step forward and volunteer to package OS X clients as part of the release-cutting process, I think that would be welcomed with open arms. Even better would be if somebody could submit a patch to automate building them. Triple-word-score if it could be done without requiring an OS X box. Similiarly, if somebody were to step up and get involved in packing the Linux clients for various distributions, that would be great. The technical bar is lower, as Thomas' good work with the staff client autoupdate mechanism means that it's become quite easy to build Linux clients; at this point the main question is whether somebody is up to maintaining and testing .deb or ..rpm.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Differences in documentation?
Morning all, If this has been discussed previously, please forgive me. Was looking in the documentation last night particularly from 1.6, Chap 25 ( http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/1.6/draft/html/serveradministration.html) and was noticing that this branch was not present in the new 2.X series of information. Any ideas or maybe I've just missed something? Would Chap. 25 be actively considered as still valid for the 2.X series of Evergreen? Feeling a bit guilty as I have not contributed to the docs group yet, but it's on my radar! :) Tony *** Tony Bandy to...@ohionet.org OHIONET 1500 West Lane Ave. Columbus, OH 43221-3975 1-800-686-8975 x19

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] State of the map of Evergreen libraries?
Hi all, At the risk of being the cause of too much email in folk's inboxes, could COOL be added as well (server maintained @OHIONET in Col. Ohio, several libraries around the state)? We're two libraries strong and counting, with 8 in the consortium by next year.
