Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] LAST CHANCE: Reports Task Force Scheduling Poll
Thanks to everyone who completed the poll. When I take into account the poll responses that were wiped out when I modified some of the dates, I believe 2:30 pm EST on the 3rd Thursday of the month worked for the most people. Our first post-conference meeting will therefore be June 21st on IRC (#evergreen). Details to follow - if you have agenda items, please send them to me or add them to the wiki. I will create a place for the agenda on the task force's meeting page: http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-reports:taskforce_meetings I wish we could have accommodated everyone! Please join us as you can.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Cataloging Audio Visual equipment
Trisha, Sorry I haven't responded sooner. Call numbers in standard fields (050, 082, etc), with some caveats, are indexed by default as keyword searches. I don't know for sure that an 099 or 090, for example, would be indexed. 082s with a 2nd indicator of 4 are not indexed as keyword searches and 050 2nd indicator 4 are probably also not keyword indexed (we're Dewey so I haven't confirmed how LCC functions in Evergreen). But you might be able index them for your setup. There is also the call number browse in the quick search - if is the only one of the quick searches that can be filtered by owning library. Elaine J.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Cataloging Audio Visual equipment
I meant to add the link to the mods site and forgot -- thanks for adding it. I wasn't sure about locally assigned call numbers. 690s and 590s don't appear to be indexed for keyword search by default so I didn't know if any local fields were. PINES has a mixture of MODS and MARC tag indexing, which works pretty well. Elaine J.
