Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen for Academics
We are interested in being part of the group here. I’d love to see an easier user interface for the reporting features. Our IT guys are great but it’s difficult to have to ask them to run reports for statistics, inventory, collection analysis, etc. Francene Lewis Head of Collection Management Hekman Library Calvin College Grand Rapids, MI On Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 3:23 PM, Donald Butterworth don.butterwo...@asburyseminary.edumailto:don.butterwo...@asburyseminary.edu wrote: Yeah Kelly!

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen for Academics
Hi Martha and other interested academic libraries, When we went up with Evergreen in 2010, we contracted with Alpha G for a daily patron information import program to work between Evergreen and PeopleSoft. Unfortunately, they weren't in a position to make it open source. But I wonder if it's something that many institutions are interested in, that they would be willing to work with the libraries to create a piece based on what they did that would be freely available with Evergreen? We import patron info nightly and it's pretty much seamless. I don't really worry about it and am happy with what it does. I'm sorry if I'm not describing it well. I'm not overly technical. :-) Thanks!

We have developed scripts to load new and update on-file records, but a user-friendly interface similar to vandelay would streamline the process. Some of our college staff would also like to manage record loading themselves. We load student records frequently. Some colleges provide one file at the beginning of each semester, but our community colleges provide weekly files for several weeks before and after the start of each semester. I load 300-400 files each year for the 10 academic institutions in our consortium. -- Martha Driscoll Systems Manager North of Boston Library Exchange Danvers, Massachusetts www.noblenet.org On 7/21/2014 10:11 AM, Kelly Drake wrote: Dear Evergreen Community, For the past year, Fenway Libraries Online (FLO), a consortium of 10 academic libraries in Boston, has been considering a migration to Evergreen.

When fishing for strings in pile of files, the find command can be handy. Something like: /openils/var$ find ./ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep ‘508' The first couple of results in my case were: ./templates/opac/parts/record/authors.tt2:xpath = '//*[@tag=508]' ./templates/opac/parts/record/contents.tt2:xpath = '//*[@tag=508”]’ Although, be ready to cancel the command with Ctrl+C, in case it gets to a reports output or logs folder. At the risk of driving you (and everyone else crazy….) if I open up the authors.tt2 file…can I just remove the offending lines? Yes, but probably safest not to experiment on a live system. Also, if you are not using this approach already, consider using a separate folder for your locally customized template files. Otherwise they would get overwritten by the next upgrade. Having a separate directory for customized files would also let you more easily keep track of differences and cross-merge with template files from newer versions.
