[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] BRrrrrrrrrrr
Wise Ones, When setting up Organizational Units in 2.3 a sample hierarchy is included that uses the Organization Unit Policy Codes: CONS, SYS, BR, AND SL. Is there a reason why these codes could not be changed so that they would be more intuitive in our local setting? Here is what I have in mind CONS = ASLAN (Asbury Library Automation Network) SYS1 = ATS (Asbury Theological Seminary) BR1 = BLF (B.L. Fisher Libray) SL1 = SA (Seminary Archives) SL2 = BL (Beeson Leadership Library) BR2= MDD (Maxie D. Dunnam Campus Library) SYS2 = AUL (Asbury University Libraries) BR3 = DFK (Dennis F. Kinlaw Library) SL3 = UA (University Archives) BR4 = AUF (Asbury University Florida Campus Library) Anybody know if this will cause a problem, before I pull the trigger?

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Display Holds Queue Position in TPAC?
We are running 2.2 and the TPAC, and hold queue position does display. I don't know how it is configured, but I think it is pretty much default behavior - we have not customized any of that display, at any rate. In the patron account items on hold list queue position is in the Status column and looks like Waiting for copy / 21 hold on 41 circulating copies. Screen shot here: http://plum.pls-net.org/twiki/bin/view/Evergreen/OpacMyAccountHolds FWIW, the queue position value *appears* to be static, indicates the number of holds placed before your hold, and does not adjust as other holds are filled. It certainly does not have any relationship to hold fulfillment (unless, I guess, one is using first-in-first-out hold fulfillment!) Hope this helps.

Hello, We just upgraded to Evergreen 2.3 and in doing so moved from the old JSOPAC to the TPAC. In the old OPAC we had been able to display the holds queue position in My Account by modifying myopac.js (changing var showHoldQueuePosition = false to true). Is there any possible way to show the queue position for patrons in the TPAC? I understand that there are potentially issues with the accuracy of the queue position, but our patrons are very anxious to have this functionality available to them.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] BRrrrrrrrrrr
Don, I see no problems with that. One convention that PINES came up with (or inherited from their previous system) was to combine the system shortname with the branch shortname to expose a bit of the hierarchy at a glance when looking at a specific lib, and to reduce the chance of collision with shortnames. So for example, you may want to consider: ASLAN - ATS -- ATS-BLF --- ATS-BLF-SA --- ATS-BLF-BL -- ATS-MDD - AUL -- AUL-DFK --- AUL-DFK-UA -- AUL-AUF -- Jason

SCLENDS did the same thing. We came up with the same convention independently. It also helps a lot when doing various manipulations of report data. -- Rogan Hamby Manager, Rock Hill Library 803-981-5853 York County Library System http://www.yclibrary.org | http://www.facebook.com/yorkcountylibrary “You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” ― C.S.
