[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Fine Setting in Evergreen
Dear Sir, 1. Our library collects One Rupee as fine for the first seven days after due date and 10 Rupees per day after the first seven days. How can we set this configuration in recurring fine rules in evergreen. 2. We are now using the Evergreen version 2.2.2. When we make a search , the default results page open in the MARC view of the record. This is not useful for us. How can we go back to the normal settings. Thanking You -- With Best Regards, Jayaraj J. R. Library Information Assistant IISER Thiruvananthapuram
Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Exporting bib records--quick question
Quoting Tony Bandy to...@ohionet.org: Hi all, If I may just ask for some thoughts on this process, I would appreciate it! We're in the process of exporting our records to Backstage for cleanup and Stop right there. Have you seen this: http://git.mvlcstaff.org/?p=jason/backstage.git;a=summary ? It is explicitly written to do what needs to be done to export bib records for Backstage. It will also import the results for you when properly configured. I've been following the instructions in the documentation for export. Our first batch went ok, however, our second batch throws an error similar to this: /home/opensrf/Evergreen-ILS-2.1.2/Open-ILS/src/support-scripts# cat /home/tonyb/Our_Export_Dec_13 | ./marc_export -i -c /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -x /openils/conf/fm_IDL.xml -f XML --timeout 5 Our_library_exported_files.xml Retrieving Org Units ... OK Retrieving Shelving locations ... OK Argument ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8 ?\n isn't numeric in int at ./marc_export line 241, line 1. ! Failed trying to read record 0 Argument !--\n isn't numeric in int at ./marc_export line 241, line 2. At this point, our first file and this file were the same (bib id's), so I know nothing has changed there. So for my next stab at things, I tried to export in a bit different format: cat /home/tonyb/Our_library_Export_Dec_13 | ./marc_export -all --encoding UTF-8 Our_library.mrc This puts things in regular UTF-8 instead of XML and currently this seems to work with no errorshowever, this seems to want to export the entire DB at once instead of reading the Our_library files. Anybody have any ideas about the errors with the XML? Is that only an XML thing and am I getting the equivalent by just exporting to mrc instead? This may seem basic, but just wanted to ask folks and make sure I'm on the right track herethanks for your thoughts as you have a moment or two. -- Tony Bandy to...@ohionet.org OHIONET 1500 West Lane Ave. Columbus, OH 43221-3975 614-486-2966 x19 -- Jason Stephenson Assistant Director for Technology Services Merrimack Valley Library Consortium Chief Bug Wrangler, Evergreen ILS

Thanks Jason--not yet, but I'm on the page now reading! Appreciate it!

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Acquisitions development - we need your help
Hello Evergreen community! During the last Evergreen conference, many in the community identified acquisitions as an area that needed a lot of attention. Soon after the conference, SC LENDS, SITKA, Bibliomation and MassLNC stepped up to the plate to jointly fund acquisitions improvements that are now available in 2.3. Through this funding and the speedy work of Equinox developers, Evergreen acquisitions staff can now receive electronic invoices via EDI, place enriched EDI orders, and benefit from general workflow improvements during the invoicing process. However, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done in the area of acquisitions. As many of you know, screen loading times are still very slow for PO's and other interfaces that have too many line items. There are also many other areas where the number of mouse clicks can be reduced and general workflow improved. The development partners who funded the 2.3 acquisitions work have identified improved screen loading times and general workflow improvements as the next area requiring the most attention in acquisitions. Over the past month, acquisitions specialists at SITKA and MassLNC have been working with Equinox to generate mock-ups that would support improved workflows. By doing these workflow improvements at the same time that the developers are looking at speed improvements, we can ensure that the addition of new elements on a screen doesn't lead to a further slowdown in the screen loading times. We expect to be done with making final decisions on the development that needs to be done over the next week. Some of the development partners who funded the 2.3 improvements are willing to commit funds to this next round of development, but we need the help of others in the community to get a fully-robust acquisitions system into Evergreen. I'm hoping other library systems that are currently using acquisitions or would like to use acquisitions someday will consider contributing to this project. If we can continue this work, it will not only make life easier for the acquisitions librarians out there, but will make Evergreen, as a whole, a more appealing option for other library systems and consortia that are looking for a new ILS. If you are interested in contributing funds to improve screen rendering time and workflow improvements in acquisitions, send me an e-mail and I'll bring you up to speed with the development plans.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Inventory module
Hi everyone, Our consortium (Sage Library System) potentially has access to a bit of money that we could use to further develop Evergreen. In thinking of projects that would benefit all of our members and other Evergreen libraries, we were thinking about an inventory module. Specifically, we're looking for a module that would allow for member libraries to conduct thorough inventories and produce reports of missing items, etc., without requiring intervention of a systems administrator. I hope that makes sense! Is there already an effort underway to develop such a module? If so, whom would I contact to learn more about what's happening and how we could contribute to the efforts? Thanks for your help with this! Cheers! Buzzy Nielsen Library Director Hood River County Library District 502 State St Hood River, OR 97031 541-387-7062 http://hoodriverlibrary.org
Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Inventory module
I seem to recall this coming up before, and I seem to recall handing out information I had come up with, but I don't recall anyone actually doing anything about it. I have some basic thoughts on how to accomplish some pieces with minimal issues, and the rest that I am aware of could then be easily accomplished with reports. But I haven't had time (or pressing need) to develop any of it.
