Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Circulating sewing patterns
As someone who sews a good bit, General tissue paper patterns to me would not hold up under Circulation. Especially multi sized clothing patterns. Most of these patterns are considered one time use patterns. On patterns I know I am going to use multiple times, I tend to adhere them to Freezer paper so I can use them multiple times. With Multi sized patterns you need to have one pattern for each size of the pattern. Now if we are talking other types of patterns (Crafts, home décor, etc.), these would hold up if they were made of something other than tissue, unless you reinforce them also. Then you have to talk about missing pieces and damage to patterns, and how to best adjust for that. As for the cataloging you would need to follow general regalia rules. Judicious use of the 500 field would be a must. We are looking at adding sewing machines and such to a makerspace. So, adding patterns in the catalog would be logically what they will be wanting next.

It supposed to be realia (three-dimensional objects). That was my brain mispronunciating it. Yes, you can cut them out of interfacing too, if they have someone who has the time and know how that can do it. I just for my purpose use freezer paper and spray adhesive.

If you decide to have the toggle between searching the website and the catalog, just remember that not all users will have javascript enabled. For users without javascript you will have to redirect their request to the catalog on the server when the catalog option is selected. We are using Wordpress, so we do this with a plugin that hooks into the 'parse_query' action.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Overdue action triggers - repeat time limit?
Hello, Jennifer. On 2015-01-07, at 13:20 , Walz, Jennifer jlw...@asbury.edu wrote: So, I am new to how Evergreen does the overdue notices and I think I understand a little bit how the action triggers work. Question is, how do I set up the trigger to repeat the notice every other day?? I want notices to go out the first day an item is overdue and then two days later and so forth. Is that possible? If so, what do I change in the settings? Or will notices just repeat every day an item is overdue? That is ok too, but I would prefer not. Most likely, you would want to create separate action triggers for different notice intervals. 1-day and 3-day overdue notices would be separate action triggers. There exists a new feature of repeatability delay for action triggers. It was intended to address the issue of not being able to repeat patron card expiration notices. I personally have not experimented with using the repeatability delay for any types of triggers other than the patron card expiration. It required some polishing to get working. (Section 2.2.7 on http://evergreen-ils.org/documentation/release/RELEASE_NOTES_2_5.html#_administration). And what about fines? We would like to set up fine notices. I am not sure what settings to put into place for that. Anyone have any templates to share or something? Is there some kind of standard settings for this? Maybe there is another place where this information is available in documentation, but if you haven’t seen it, take a look at sections 2.4.6-2.4.8 of Evergreen 2.5 release notes: http://evergreen-ils.org/documentation/release/RELEASE_NOTES_2_5.html#_circulation_2. Perhaps those release notes could help with what you’re trying to get accomplished. Aleksey Lazar IS Developer and Integrator - PALS http://www.mnpals.org/

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Reshelving status?
Thanks! I did find a mention of this script that is supposed to be running on our server. I believe it is NOT running and we are looking into that. I'll pass along the info about setting the interval shorter. But then it seems from your instructions that the script ALSO needs to be running on the server at the same interval yes? To answer your question about items in the reshelving status. We have items that are STILL in the reshelving status after one month! So, it seems like the script is not running as it should on the server. Is there a way to MANUALLY change an item / items from reshelving to available??

Hi Jennifer, In a reply I made a couple months ago, I described in a little more detail how the reshelving interval might be processed (see http://georgialibraries.markmail.org/thread/skib7pmbyu6v3cwz) You may find that you need to set it to less than 1 day exactly, and more like 1 hour to definitely catch up and move things back to Available when the reshelving_complete.srfsh cron job runs daily. Also, are you saying that nothing is changing after one day, exactly? Or that nothing is changing at all? Maybe you should verify that the right script is running on your Evergreen system. To my knowledge, there is no easy way to bypass the reshelving status, but you can consider other options. Like renaming the copy status to available (lowercase, instead of init capitalized, making it different, but conceptually the same). As for making a second checkin change the status definitely to available, that's a nice idea, but I could see it being trouble on situations like double-scanning or other mis-scans in live use. That said, if you were to sponsor development in this area, perhaps other libraries may be interested.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Reshelving status?
Ideally, if the script is running properly, then you should not have to manually change anything. Manually changing statuses seems tedious and annoying to me; that's why the script exists. That said, I believe it is possible to use item status to change the status of items manually to Available all at once. If you really want the interval to be applied at the rate set, then yes, you do need to run the reshelving script more frequently. That said, it is currently not advised to do this *too* frequently due to potential bugs arising from having items go back to Available even as they are being checked out again to new patrons. i.e. the item was selected to be moved from reshelving to available, but is checked out while the reshelving script is being run. This Evergreen bug refers to the problem (for other curious eyes): https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1018011 -- Ben On Wed, Jan 7, 2015 at 11:53 AM, Walz, Jennifer jlw...@asbury.edu wrote: Thanks! I did find a mention of this script that is supposed to be running on our server. I believe it is NOT running and we are looking into that. I'll pass along the info about setting the interval shorter. But then it seems from your instructions that the script ALSO needs to be running on the server at the same interval yes? To answer your question about items in the reshelving status. We have items that are STILL in the reshelving status after one month! So, it seems like the script is not running as it should on the server. Is there a way to MANUALLY change an item / items from reshelving to available?? Or do we always have to wait for that script to run? Thanks!

Hi Jennifer, In a reply I made a couple months ago, I described in a little more detail how the reshelving interval might be processed (see http://georgialibraries.markmail.org/thread/skib7pmbyu6v3cwz) You may find that you need to set it to less than 1 day exactly, and more like 1 hour to definitely catch up and move things back to Available when the reshelving_complete.srfsh cron job runs daily. Also, are you saying that nothing is changing after one day, exactly? Or that nothing is changing at all? Maybe you should verify that the right script is running on your Evergreen system. To my knowledge, there is no easy way to bypass the reshelving status, but you can consider other options. Like renaming the copy status to available (lowercase, instead of init capitalized, making it different, but conceptually the same). As for making a second checkin change the status definitely to available, that's a nice idea, but I could see it being trouble on situations like double-scanning or other mis-scans in live use. That said, if you were to sponsor development in this area, perhaps other libraries may be interested.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Circulating sewing patterns

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Overdue action triggers - repeat time limit?
All - So, I am new to how Evergreen does the overdue notices and I think I understand a little bit how the action triggers work. Question is, how do I set up the trigger to repeat the notice every other day?? I want notices to go out the first day an item is overdue and then two days later and so forth. Is that possible? If so, what do I change in the settings? Or will notices just repeat every day an item is overdue? That is ok too, but I would prefer not. And what about fines? We would like to set up fine notices. I am not sure what settings to put into place for that. Anyone have any templates to share or something? Is there some kind of standard settings for this? Thanks!
