I thick Tracy's point is that public libraries tend not to have bib
records for their electronic journals in their ILSs so you have to search
in the separate database to find out if they have access to a specific
title rather than staying with the ILS, finding a title with an active
link to that
Hi,
I'm wondering how other systems are dealing with book club sets, specifically
if there is a way to allow book club sets to be put on hold for the future, say
3-months in advance. I was looking at suspended holds but that doesn't seem to
ensure the item will be available the week the book
HI Michael - the booking feature will definitely do this for you. If you
have a barcode for a set, you're ready to go. You need to build in some
elbow room- meaning time between bookings, for example if you want a set
back 2 days before it is going out again, your elbow room would be 2 days.

Tara and Elaine, thanks for your responses. Elaine, you're right in that
I was trying to find out how public libraries might make all of their
resources findable from a single point of entry. Tara, thanks for
sending the links regarding ILSs and ERMSs. I assume that it's the ERMS

Hi Tracy,
The way to make your library's holdings and electronic content searchable
in one place is with a discovery layer. It's something that you layer on
top of your ILS, ERMS and possibly local digital collections.
Marshall Breeding's list of discovery layers:
I remember hearing somewhere that SPARK in PA is using VuFind with Evergreen
and some quick Googling for SPARK found this:

But that's the extent of what I know. Maybe some SPARKS folks are on list
and can share more.

Unfortunately, there really isn't a well-written, updated, thorough guide to
Evergreen out there (to the best of my knowledge). There are a number of
partial guides, but even if you put all those together, there are some major
gaps. A couple of years into things, and we're still trying
Most of the major docs that have been done are available here:
http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/
http://www.open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php
I think it's fair to say that the docs we have are more in the vein of
reference manuals than user guides. There are library specific
training materials
David,
It could be, IIRC, accounts would be created on demand when a user
logs in, after a look-up in the external system. The Evergreen
database has a pretty clear schema too - so you can create individual
patron records directly in SQL if you want. like from a cron-job to
dump from Civi
