Thank you, Elaine, Don, and Mary (and my B colleague Eric who replied 
offlist) – I appreciate all the advice and the quick responses.

We’ll sort out the specific fields and mappings with the library.

We use tag 970, configured on the provider record in Evergreen and with the 
vendor (we do it ourselves on B’s Title Source and Ingram’s iPage, and have 
the vendor do it for us where we don’t have access to the vendor’s MARC 
configuration). We chose 970 since it was what our previous system used, so it 
wasn’t a major leap from profiling we’d done with our vendors pre-Evergreen.

We use

970 a = Owning library
970 b = Quantity
970 c = Call number (on the vendor side, we configure a default call number of 
“On Order” for all ordered materials)
970 d = Copy location (on the vendor side, we use a default of “Acquisitions”)
970 e = Circ modifier (on the vendor side, we use a default of “acquisitions”)
970 p = Estimated price (list price)
970 w = Note (lineitem notes)

We don’t include fund in the uploads. We found by eliminating fund as a 
variable value on the vendor’s site, it simplified things and actually saved 
our libraries money in the case of Title Source, since they no longer had to 
subscribe to B’s grids to enter the variable fund for each cart. Instead, our 
librarians apply the fund to the lineitems after the PO is loaded to Evergreen. 
That’s the same reason we went with defaults for the copy location and circ 
mod. The “On Order” call number and the Acquisitions/acquisitions settings make 
it quite clear to staff and public that the item is not yet in the building.

We let the system generate a temporary barcode number with an “acq” prefix when 
the PO is activated, which is why we don’t include that in our 970 either. That 
gets replaced once the item arrives and is cataloged.

We also assign a bib source we call “vendor order record” when the file is 
uploaded. We can use that with SQL to find records that were newly added in the 
load instead of matching our full cataloging records. Then we can look on OCLC 
for fuller versions for the “vendor order record”-labeled records and overlay 
them.  But that’s another story.

Ann-Marie,

allows us to generate and populate purchase orders and copy/item records on

t - circ modifier

c - quantity

Unfortunately not all of the subfields needed to completely define the 
copy/item record are available when defining the 962 tag, thereby adding 
another step in the receiving process.

Once that is done, each "Holding Subfields" must be manually added to every 
vendor/provider record. (It would be very helpful if this configuration 
defaulted, whenever provider records are created ... but I digress)

Once the initial Field and subfield definitions are established, the path one 
takes to set up a provider record is as follows.
Admin > Server Administration >  Acquisitions > Provider > YBP
Hope that helps.

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] IRC Discussions on Evergreen search

Hi all,

During the dev hack-a-way in November, we had a discussion regarding
Evergreen search. The discussion happened at the request of MassLNC
after we had some local discussions regarding what our overall goals for
Evergreen search are. We view  search as one of the most important
pieces of the ILS, if not the most important. It's what allows our users
to find those resources we spend so much time cataloging so that they
can then place holds on them, check them out from the library, or access
them in some other way.

I left the hack-a-way with an action item to start a larger community
discussion where we could identify some high-level goals for what we
want Evergreen search to be and where we could define what we consider
to be important factors in search relevance.

I would like to start this discussion with some focus-group-like
discussions in IRC where community members could identify the features
they like about the current search and where they see room for
improvement. My hope is that these discussions can help us define what
we consider to be an ideal search system for Evergreen and allow the dev
community to explore options for making that ideal search system happen.

I think the discussions will work best if they are not too large, so I
anticipate scheduling two or three or more depending on interest. If you
are interested in participating, please fill out the Doodle at
http://doodle.com/poll/hkdy3u5255u3rpmr. I'll try my best to schedule
these discussions so that anyone who shows interest through the Doodle
poll has a chance to participate.

I have also talked to Yamil Suarez about scheduling some "Intro to IRC"
sessions ahead of time so that people who are unfamiliar with IRC have a
chance to learn about it before the scheduled search discussions.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions!

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Loading MARC order records from vendors

[Donald Butterworth]

Ann-Marie,

We always use this feature when adding bib records for purchased titles. It
allows us to generate and populate purchase orders and copy/item records on
import.

Field and subfields are *locally defined* in the system.

The field number (Holdings Tag) we use is 962. The subfield definitions we
use are:
i - barcode
a - call number
t - circ modifier
d - collection code
l - copy location
p - estimated price
b - fund code
o - owning library
c - quantity

Unfortunately not all of the subfields needed to completely define the
copy/item record are available when defining the 962 tag, thereby adding
another step in the receiving process.

Once that is done, each "Holding Subfields" must be manually added to every
vendor/provider record. (It would be very helpful if this configuration
defaulted, whenever provider records are created ... but I digress)

Once the initial Field and subfield definitions are established, the path
one takes to set up a provider record is as follows.
Admin > Server Administration >  Acquisitions > Provider > YBP

Hope that helps.

Don

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Loading MARC order records from vendors

[Hardy, Elaine]

Ann-Marie,

 

The 9xx field for holdings is configurable. In PINES, we use the 962. From
our set-up documentation and manual, which is still in draft form and not
posted yet:

 

The 962 tag will be used with the following subfields:

 

|b  Policy name = OWNING library

|c  Shelving/copy location

|f   Fund code

|g  Circulation modifier

|j  Call number

|p  Price

|q  Quantity

|u Barcode

|x  Other item attributes needed (ref/non ref; holdable/not holdable;
circulating/not circ; visible/not visible) each item attribute gets a
separate |x

 

Additional Notes:

*   No currency symbol ($) in the price field

*   With the exception of subfield x, subfields with no data must
contain a single character of any type. Subfield x is the only subfield
which can remain empty.

 

Each library system/consortium can have their own 9xx and subfields
defined for their unique needs. There may be required information within
the field - i.e. Owning library, that others can assist you with. But, it
is my understanding that the specific field and subfields are configurable
otherwise. You may find that different Evergreen libraries will have
different fields/subfields; but, I believe a system or consortium should
have the same holdings field and subfields defined for the group as a
whole. For example, all PINES libraries would use the above configuration;
but Sitka uses a different one.

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Loading MARC order records from vendors

 

Hi everyone,

 

I'm hoping you might be able to help me. YBP Library Services is a book
vendor, and we have a few customers who use Evergreen. There are some who
want to order on YBP's system and then load MARC records with order data
in 9xx fields to create bib records and order records in Evergreen. Based
on the documentation I've found, this seems to be do-able. 

 

However I can't find any details regarding the actual 9xx data. Is it
required to send the order data in certain 9xx fields, or is that
configured by the library within Evergreen? If there are specific 9xx
fields or order data elements that we should be outputting, I would be
most grateful if someone could point me to the details. 

 

In the Sitka documentation, I did find this:

A 970 holdings tag with subfields o, q, f, and e must included in each
MARC record for the purchase order to successfully activate.

 

But then I couldn't find anything explaining what should be in those 970
fields.

 

Thanks in advance for any guidance anyone can provide.
