Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] KPAC filtering
We're not using KPAC at this point but I'd like to add my vote for being able to filter on shelving location and circ modifier, regardless of platform. I'd have to talk to our consortium administrators about this, of course, but is there a global filter tag in the TPAC as well? Holly's absolutely right about the problem of incomplete MARC records. We're finding an alarming percentage have almost no fixed field data which makes filtering virtually useless.

I could be wrong (and I'm very tired), but I would guess that with the way the global filter tag is set up in the kpac.xml file, that you could put any sort of defined filter in there. It is configured for audience(a,b,c,d,j) and that is easy to modify, but my guess is you could replace that bit in the global filter tag with locations(x,y,z) where x,y,z were the IDs (not the names) of the shelving locations you wish to display.

We couldn't do this in PINES because our consortium allows different libraries to have different shelving locations and it would be too difficult to track, but I don't see why it couldn't work for a smaller or more standardized system.

We're doing the same thing, though I was using location_groups(#) which syntax I got from here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/939570 Is one specification better/more supported than the other?Neither seemed was on the wiki page.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] spine label printers
Our spine label printer has officially retired. We need to replace it as soon as possible. I've seen the survey that was taken on printers before the last upgrade; however the last upgrade did not work well with our microline. What I need to know is which printers have worked well since the upgrade. Any and all information on the printers you are using and how they work with Evergreen at this point would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Rhonda Vincent Jennings County Public Library rhonda.vinc...@jenningslib.org

We use Dymo Labelwriter 450s. They're inexpensive, easy to setup, work well, and are compatible with multiple OSs. Cheers!
