[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] ***SPAM*** Holds in Evergreen and order notifications

2013-02-15 Thread Jill Minor
We're curious: is there a way to set Evergreen up to flag books with a ceiling of holds (like say 8) to notify staff that more copies need to be purchased? Or do you need to be a programmer and use SQL or PHP to make that work? [phpp2mebdAM.jpg] Jill Minor Electronic Services Librarian

Jill, Because Evergreen lets you query the database using SQL, it's pretty simple to create purchase alert lists. We run a script daily that creates a purchase alert list for each of our member libraries. The report is based on the ratio of number of holds to the number of copies owned.
