Joseph, Can you elaborate on your QR code idea? I'm not clear on how that relates to texting (which is a push approach) versus a QR code which would require the user to go and get the code from somewhere. I know you said it was slightly off topic but could you tie the two a bit better together

Thanks Joseph, This is greatly appreciated. The majority of students are so comfortable with their cell phones that I think the option to transfer the Title and Call Number information via text is an invaluable convenience! So thanks again. Our College has made QR Codes a priority this summer

Thanks John but I'm still not clear on how it gets to the user. Wouldn't you still be sending something to their phone: either a QR code as an MMS or a number as a text? Or are you suggesting you display the QR code on the website which they then read to grab the call number? Is the goal simply

I was suggesting displaying it on the website, and having the user scan the QR with their phone (the phone would then translate the barcode in to the call number and title) that way you wouldn't have to worry about sending them an SMS, but it would still be available on their phone without them

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Overlaying MARC bib records in batch file upload

2011-06-08 Thread Kathy Lussier
Hi Steven, We haven't been using the auto-import settings when uploading records for overlay. When there is a match in the system and we want to overlay the record, we go into the record queue, click the Matches link, check the Overlay Target checkbox to mark that record as an overlay target,

Thanks, Kathy-- we actually explored that method, but found that the overlay did not work for us and the target bib record remained unchanged. We would really prefer doing it that way, since the action takes place within the single queue instead of following up with the overlay via Z39.50.

Basically we are trying to set patron groups up with max holds (say 12) but when a staff member logs in they should be able to override the patron's holds limit and place a hold. How does one get this to work? Thanks much! On 06/03/2011 01:16 PM, Turner, Jennifer M wrote: Hello all, We

To my knowledge, in pre-2.1 there are two ways to do indb holds. If you are using scripts then you might as well ignore everything I am about to say. ;) The two ways, controlled by a flag (internal or global, can't recall which) are: 1 - Based on the requester (the default) 2 - Based on
