Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Statiscial Categories report question

Sharon, Getting that data from the Evergreen reporter is problematic because the reporter only allows you to join to a source once. If you try to join it (that is, select the same field from the same source) again, you'll end up with a an error in the report creator and/or a query that errors

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Statiscial Categories report question

I spoke to soon, I'm able to "sort of" get statistical category count data, but not circ data. So I'm still struggling with this and would greatly appreciate ideas from others. Sharon Douglas Lake Agassiz Regional Library From: Open-ils-general

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Self-Registration and Immediate Access to Services

I want to say that the last time I spoke with a library about this they had concerns that allowing an "unvalidated" patron access to their digital content might violate their agreement with the database provider in some way... As I have no personal contracts with any database/digital services

I'm glad you brought that up Grace. One of our libraries would has also requested this functionality, but got hung up on that same issue. We would be grateful to hear from others who have already explored this topic. Justin On Fri, Jan 29, 2016 at 12:36 PM, Grace Dunbar

>From a "our funding comes a local tax base" stand point my libraries (county based entities) would want to validate residency before giving out access to products. We charge out of county fees to non-residents. On Fri, Jan 29, 2016 at 2:26 PM, Justin Hopkins  < jus...@mobiusconsortium.org>

I know access can be a big issue with academic institutions also. Frequently the licensing is limited to a students and faculty only. On Fri, Jan 29, 2016 at 2:30 PM, Rogan Hamby wrote: > From a "our funding comes a local tax base" stand point my libraries > (county

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Self-Registration and Immediate Access to Services

Hi all, I know of some libraries (not Evergreen libraries) that do this. In one case, although the online card can be used to access electronic resources, it has a short expiration date. If the user doesn't visit a library within a certain time period (2 weeks? 1 month?), it expires. My

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Self-Registration and Immediate Access to Services

To go off on a bit of a tangent (it's related, I promise) there is also the issue of Evergreen offering a way to validate users without them being physically present at the library. As more and more of our resources are electronic, it makes sense to have a form of electronic patron validation as

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Self-Registration and Immediate Access to Services

Eventually libraries will embrace these ideas but I think in some areas it will be a hard fight. Between traditionalistic views and not wanting to change policies a lot won't. Personally, I think it would be great to be able to get a valid card for remote services without having to come into a
