[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Please take our survey! (New EG Reports Interface)
Hello, everyone, The PINES Reports Working Group is working on requirements for a new reports interface for Evergreen. We hope to streamline and simplify the process for running basic daily reports so that front-line staff and directors can get the information they need quickly and independently of technical staff. (The new interface will not recreate or replace the existing reports interface.) Now we need your help! Please help us identify what information is most needed by front-line staff and directors by completing the following 15-20 minute survey by Friday, March 8th: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BQKTGRX If you would like to review the questions before beginning the survey, please see the following PDF: http://pines.georgialibraries.org/files/EG%20New%20Reports%20Interface%20Sur vey.pdf Any inquiries about this project, can be sent to: mailto:pines-reports...@list.georgialibraries.org pines-reports...@list.georgialibraries.org Many thanks, Cristina -- Cristina Hernandez Trotter Head of Reference Dept. and Heritage Center Oconee Regional Library System 801 Bellevue Ave. Dublin, GA 31021 478-272-5710 (phone) 478-272-0524 (fax) http://www.ocrl.org/ www.ocrl.org
Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Please take our survey! (New EG Reports Interface)
A number of the things in that survey appear to be PINES-specific and not applicable to the community at large. This includes things such as legacy stat cat information, collection language implications (primarily english with a large spanish subset, it looks like), and mention of things like IntraPINES. Overall I think the survey needs to be re-worked from a more neutral standpoint if the community is supposed to be involved.

Hi all, It was brought to my attention that everyone who may have some input for this discussion may not have an Evergreen wiki account. In that case, please feel free to send an e-mail (to the list, not directly to me) identifying any performance issues you believe should be addressed through a performance evaluation. I'll be happy to add them to the wiki. What I'm looking for is: 1. Any specific paint points you see in performance. 2. Any specific questions you think a performance evaluation should answer. 3. Any ideas you might already have regarding causes of performance problems. In reading through the logs from the future of the staff client meeting, I noticed several people said they thought it was important to bring these ideas together before reaching out to a consultant, and I agree that this is an important first step in the process. I posted just a few of our local issues at http://www.evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=dev:testing:performance_issues: STAFF CLIENT: Memory leaks - is there an inherent problem with the technology used in the staff client (xulrunner, Dojo) that is the source of the memory leak problem and other performance problems? Slow retrieval of patron records MESSAGING (OPENSRF): Staff client batch operations (e.g. updates/deletes from copy buckets) DATABASE: Catalog search - is there a way to optimize searching in the catalog so that users get faster results and are able to start re-implementing things like search.relevance_adjustment to provide boosts to relevance ranking?

Hi Tim, Sure, if there are specific steps taken where you routinely find system performance/response times lacking, please add them to the list. This could give us some ideas of areas that need to be evaluated. I would say that falls within identifying specific pain points (not the paint points that I sent in my original e-mail) that you see.

Hello, all, Yikes! In copying over our original PINES-specific survey, I neglected to change some of the wording. My apologies. So wherever you see IntraPINES holds, % of PINES totals, etc., please just substitute PINES with your consortium/system name as you read. Unfortunately, I cannot edit the wording once the survey has started. We created this survey specifically for the PINES consortium, but we thought it useful to get as much input as possible from the EG community before we finalize development requirements for this project. Admittedly, the only question we added/changed for the EG-community version was about library type. We ask anyone interested to please complete the survey with awareness of the survey's limitations.

EVERGREEN NEWSLETTER / JANUARY - FEBRUARY 2013 International Evergreen Conference 2013 in Vancouver, BC By Tara Robertson --- The full conference schedule is up on the website and there's a bunch of awesome sessions in both the main track and the technical track: http://eg2013.evergreen-ils.org/schedule/ Two recent additions to the program include John van Rassel from the Innisfil Public Library who will talk about how migrating to Evergreen 5 years ago was a catalyst for organizational change. Innisfil PL are doing so many interesting things like a maker lab drop ins (http://www.innisfil.library.on.ca/maker-labs) and planning for a maker space in their new branch. They also recently launched a community based history digitization project using Islandora at http://www.ourstoriesinnisfil.ca http://eg2013.evergreen-ils.org/schedule/session-descriptions/#fiveyears Jeff Godin is doing a session on APIs: http://eg2013.evergreen-ils.org/schedule/session-descriptions/#apis We're getting close to capacity so register now: http://eg2013.evergreen-ils.org/registration/ See you in Vancouver! EVERGREEN LIBRARIES UPDATE IN THE SPOTLIGHT: The International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam migrates to a new version Evergreen The International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam (IISG), the Netherlands, is pleased to announce the successful migration to a new version of Evergreen, the 2.2 rc1. The International Institute of Social History, the world's largest documentation and research center in the field of social history, that first started to use Evergreen in September 2011, just migrated for the first time to a new version, Evergreen 2.2 rc1. After an extensive research and development process the in-house developer Vyacheslav Tykhonov managed to do all the work successfully and he migrated all data to this new version. This was a very important update, which will bring substantial improvements to existing features, solving a lot of bugs. So at the moment IISG is using a good working and stable library system. This major update brought lots of improvements to existing functions as well as some absolutely new features, like creating the possibility for any chart to be shared on any website. Basic Evergreen functionality was extended with Digital Humanities tools to make graphic representations of data stored in the library system, such as visualization tools, maps and timelines. See for examples of these possibilities: Pie presenting all materials stored in IISG: http://api.socialhistoryservices.org/evergreen/charts/report.pie.all.html Chart for all materials published from 1900 till 2000: http://api.socialhistoryservices.org/evergreen/charts/report.1900.html Chart for all materials published from 2000: http://api.socialhistoryservices.org/evergreen/charts/report.2000.html Visual material on our current queen: http://api.socialhistoryservices.org/evergreen/timeline/beatrix.html Visual material on our soon to-be king: http://api.socialhistoryservices.org/evergreen/timeline/willem.html === Eva Cerninakova of the Czech Republic reports, In January we launched Czech Evergreen DokuWiki. We are still in the beginning [stages] yet it is a very important step for the 'miniature' Czech Evergreen community as we hope this will help us to promote Evergreen among the libraries in the Czech Republic. Czech Evergreen DokuWiki is currently available at http://knihovna.jabok.cz/evergreen-dokuwiki/ (for a future we are planning to open up Czech Evergreen domain). === The COOL Consortium in Ohio would like to announce that the Worch Memorial Public Library is now live on the system. Here's a link to more information: http://info.cool-cat.org/?p=167 === The Mobius Consortium in Missouri just had their ninth library system, the Albany Carnegie system, go live. A lot has happened with the Missouri Evergreen public library consortium in the last few months. Debbie Luchenbill was hired as the new Evergreen Coordinator and she began at the end of August. There are now eight (almost nine!) libraries live on the system and 16 libraries officially part of Missouri Evergreen, with more to join soon. By August of 2013, thirteen libraries will be live. MOBIUS, a nonprofit library consortium based in Columbia, MO, is hosting and managing Missouri Evergreen with LSTA funds from the Missouri State Library, a division of the Office of the Secretary of State. - If you have any news for the next issue of the Evergreen newsletter, the March-April issue, please email this news to Amy Terlaga at terl...@biblio.org.
