Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] [OPEN-ILS-DEV] Evergreen API

2012-05-14 Thread rogan . hamby
To echo Dan, and without reading ahead to the weekend's posts, developers usually talk about APIs in terms of methods of accessing the functions of a system. Usually, the APIs are bundled and published because the core system is closed in some way or licensing is involved. If you want

Hi Steve, I'm on version 2.0.7 and the hard due date I have created is called end of semester with spaces. Does this mean that later versions will not accept the spaces and that we should rename prior to upgrading? Thanks! Gordana On 5/13/2012 at 12:29 PM, in message

Thanks, All. I know we don't need APIs in the same sense that a proprietary system does. However, I've spoken to some developers of other products who are interested in integrating their product with Evergreen and I keep hearing that this is very challenging because it isn't clear what does what

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Cataloging Audio Visual equipment

2012-05-14 Thread Trisha Cantwell Keene
Is anyone cataloging and circulating audio visual equipment with Evergreen? If so, would you share what you are using for a fixed field 'type'? We are interested in putting these records in the first time ( ;D) in such a way that our patrons will have a filter or an easy way to locate all the AV

Hi Trisha, You can create a MARC record for just about anything. We added one really basic one for a bike pump that we sign out (we are by the bike racks at our school). If all the AV stuff lives together, I'd create a shelving location for them, so you can filter on that or do a search on that

I would be surprized if there isn't a link checker already out there that could meet the needs. Probably thousands have been written by now. For example, Debian has a package: http://linux.die.net/man/1/linkchecker. That said, sometimes it just makes sense to write one that very specifically

PINES catalogers catalog equipment for circulation frequently. However, we do our original cataloging on OCLC and bring the record into PINES. We don't catalog directly into PINES unless the item is ephemeral in nature and won't be retained. The Type would be r : Three-dimensional artifact or

I think better documentation might help. It's been awhile since I looked, but in February at code4lib some people wanted to play around with Evergreen APIs and they reported having a tough time finding the information they needed. I think Karen Coombs, from OCLC, contacted Dan Scott directly to
