Lori, Your experience with programming helped develop your brain to understand machine processes. It's a pretty invaluable thing when it comes to making Evergreen hum. Who knows?

Welcome to the group, Lori!

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Introduction
Welcome to the community, Danell, Kristi, Matthew, and Jennifer! I've been an Evergreen user since 2009, but I've only started becoming involved in the broader community in the past two years so I still feel relatively new, but I participate as much as I am able to. People are very helpful, and I find it very gratifying to be able to play a part in improving the product and the documentation and seeing it make a difference (even if it's in a very small way - one of my bug fixes involved getting rid of a stray semicolon in the OPAC!) Best of luck with your upcoming migration, Kristi. I think you'll be very happy with how all of the improvements that have been made to the software since you were with Indiana.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] introduction and quick database question
I am the director of a library in a consortium of small libraries in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex area of Texas. We launched Evergreen a few months ago. I am working on some reports that go beyond the basic capabilities of the built-in reporting tool in Evergreen, so I am pulling the data via standard SQL queries. I have one quick question: I don't see title and author information anywhere within any of the ASSET tables (other than empty dummy_title and dummy_author fields in asset_copy), so I looked to the METABIB table to pull that information. However, I am having trouble locating the common identifier to tie the tables together when I JOIN them so I can link the appropriate author and title information to the individual copies. I know I must be overlooking something obvious, but if someone could give me a quick hint, I would really appreciate it! Thanks! Jesse Ephraim Director, Roanoke Public Library 308 S.

Hi Jesse, asset.copy has .call_number, which links to asset.call_number asset.call_number has .record, which links to biblio.record_entry biblio.record_entry has .marc, which contains the entire bib record in MARCXML But unless you want to use XPATH, that's probably not convenient, so... that XML has been exploded into metabib.full_rec metabib.full_rec has .record, which links back to biblio.record_entry and metabib.full_rec has .tag, .subfield, and .value, which can get you anything you need. But even more convenient is reporter.materialized_simple_record, which is based off of reporter.simple_record, which is a large view based on metabib.full_rec. It has fields for .title, .author, .publisher, .pubdate, .isbn and .issn. reporter.materialized_simple_record has a .id field which corresponds with the .id field for biblio.record_entry Does this help? -- Jason Etheridge | VP, Tactical Development | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Evergreen Experts | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: ja...@esilibrary.com | web: http://www.esilibrary.com Please join us for the Evergreen 2010 International Conference, April 20-23, 2010 at the Amway Grand Hotel and Convention Center, Grand Rapids, Michigan. http://www.evergreen2010.org/
Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] introduction and quick database question
I believe you're looking for biblio.record_entry. This (generally) corresponds to the source or record value of your metabib tables (if you do a '\d metabib.title_field_entry' [for example], you should see a foreign key constraint'). An item (asset.copy) will link to a title (biblio.record_entry) via a volume (asset.call_number). There are also a number of useful views in the reporter schema. If you haven't yet seen it, this (http://open-ils.org/documentation/evergreen-schema-1.4.0.2.html) can be pretty helpful.

Hmm... we're heading into winter here in Canada, my arm could probably be twisted... For anyone interested in the workshop content but not able to get to Toronto this month, I intend to make all of the workshop materials that I develop freely available under a CC license, and I will refine and extend them over time. The FSOSS time slot is for a three hour workshop but given the complexity of the subject matter it could easily be extended for subsequent sessions. For example, I will be giving a similar four hour workshop at the OLA SuperConference in Toronto at the end of January 2010 (http://www.accessola.com/superconference2010/ - although the content on the site still seems to mostly be from 2009).
