[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Confusion about Circulation Modifiers

Dear Experts, Here is another newbie question. I am confused about the Circulation Modifier table and how extensive it needs to be. Here's the scenario. Our Org Unit structure includes a main library, a branch library, and three sub-libraries. All libraries have books that all have different

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] OPAC decisions

Colleagues, Our data is loading into Evergreen and we will soon need to make some decisions on the OPAC. One of the features that I will really miss, is the ability to do browse searches. VuFind is an open source OPAC option that includes browse searches. I see that the Pennsylvania Integrated
