[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Confusion about Circulation Modifiers
Dear Experts, Here is another newbie question. I am confused about the Circulation Modifier table and how extensive it needs to be. Here's the scenario. Our Org Unit structure includes a main library, a branch library, and three sub-libraries. All libraries have books that all have different circulation periods. My question is do we need to have 5 different Circulation Modifiers in order to accommodate the 5 loan periods? e.g.: book | book-fla | book-bl | book-fi | book-sa or is there a matrix that handles this a better way?

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Confusion about Circulation Modifiers
Do circ modifiers define the kind of material, such as Book, DVD, etc ? Well, not by definition but often yes. Circ modifiers are literally a variable to pass for circulation. So they can be things like BOOK, VIDEO, etc or they could be 14-DAY, 21-DAY, etc or anything else. You wouldn't use the durations unless your setup is so simple that you don't need to distinguish the items further but if you do that's really nice - libraries not in a consortium can do that a lot of time. But for the rest of us it's often useful to define the circ mods by the material type but that's a choice we're making. Still, we keep it as simple as we can. So for example, we had libraries that perhaps had BOOK and CHILD BOOK but since they both circulated for 14 days they were all consolidated to just be BOOK. Circ mods don't show up to patrons, only staff, another sign that they are for circulation configuration not an identifier to help distinguish items. As an FYI SCLENDS does that and we always type the circ mods in all caps so we know that when send communication about a book we're talking about an item and when we mention BOOK we mean the circ mod. That's handier than you would think. And we use material types for some of the same reasons you do, library A circulates a BOOK for a different time period than library B does. And you can absolutely have everyone use the same circ mods - in fact if you don't you'll probably create a mess over time. The circ mods will all show up together so having circ mods not in common use can cause big cataloging problems. It's far easier to just have Library A have Circ Policy A for BOOK and Library B have Policy B for BOOK than the same number of policies for different circ mods.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Reminder: Deadline is TODAY for 2.6 alpha targeting [RM2.6]
Hello all, Just a quick reminder that today is the last day to target bugs for inclusion in 2.6 alpha. As in past releases, new features will still be permitted until beta, which is scheduled for early February. That said, the sooner something is ready and targeted, the more likely it will be reviewed and included in 2.6, so please don't miss this opportunity to get some attention for your branch. Here is the current list of bug reports in the 2.6.0-alpha1 milestone which also have pullrequest tags: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bugs?field.status%3Alist=NEWfield.status%3Alist=CONFIRMEDfield.status%3Alist=TRIAGEDfield.status%3Alist=INPROGRESSfield.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITH_RESPONSEfield.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITHOUT_RESPONSEassignee_option=anyfield.milestone%3Alist=62053field.tag=pullrequestfield.tags_combinator=ANYsearch=Searchorderby=idstart=0 This is the list which I am asking reviewers focus on over the next few days, but as you can see, the list is relatively small. In contrast, here is a list of *all* un-committed pullrequests: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bugs?field.status%3Alist=NEWfield.status%3Alist=CONFIRMEDfield.status%3Alist=TRIAGEDfield.status%3Alist=INPROGRESSfield.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITH_RESPONSEfield.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITHOUT_RESPONSEassignee_option=anyfield.tag=pullrequestfield.tags_combinator=ANYsearch=Searchorderby=-milestonememo=75start=0direction=backwards I couldn't figure out a way to exclude the items already targeted at 2.6 (the first list), but I was able to sort them to the bottom. As you can see, we (at the time of this writing) have 70+ pullrequests which are either targeted only at old branches or not targeted at all. Many of these are stale and should probably be invalidated, but many others should rightly be targeted at 2.6. If you are able, please take some time today to review the second list, and apply the 2.6.0-alpha1 milestone (or invalidate) as you deem appropriate. As always, please reply to this thread if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you, Dan Daniel Wells Library Programmer/Analyst Hekman Library, Calvin College 616.526.7133

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Reminder: Deadline is TODAY for 2.6 alpha targeting [RM2.6]
Hello Liam, It is never too early to create a Launchpad bug. That said, we generally do not add a milestone target until a pullrequest branch is ready, as this limits distraction and prevents a lot of milestone churn. Occasionally exceptions are made in cases where there is high confidence that a branch will be ready in time for the milestone, so the milestone is added early to indicate intention.

Chauncey, You might also want to look at this old thread (http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.education.libraries.open-ils.general/6051) which discusses using issuance holds. Issuance holds are used in concert with serial units (which are essentially copies, but are created at serial receive time) to request a hold on an issue that can be filled by any copy (normal hold rules allowing).

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Question regarding total owed for transaction field in email notices
Hi all, We have managed to generate a test email as part of our overdue procedure, and there are two problems. One is that the email notice was supposed to be a three week overdue notice and was actually sent 11 days after the items were overdue. The other is the Total Owed for this Transaction field is not being populated correctly - both items said 0.0. If you need the text of the template or the email messages let me know and I will gladly send them along! Thanks, Deana Deana Cunningham Branch Manager, South Branch Library 1550 S. Campus Dr. Creedmoor, NC 27522 Phone: (919) 528-1752 Fax: (919) 528-1376 deana.cunning...@granvillecounty.org
