[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen 2.10.8 and 2.11.1 released

[Galen Charlton]

Hi,

On behalf of the release maintainers and buildmasters, we are pleased
to announce the release of Evergreen 2.10.8 and 2.11.1, both bugfix
releases.

Evergreen 2.10.8 fixes the following issues:

* A fix to that provides alphabetical sorting to the fund selector in
the Acquisitions Selection List -> Copies interface.
* The addition of a progress bar that displays when conducting a
patron search in the web client.
* A fix to the web client patron interface so that total Items Out in
the patron summary now includes overdue and long overdue items. It
will also include Lost and Claims Returned items when the appropriate
library setting is enabled.
* A change to the public catalog My Account screen where the font for
leading articles will now be smaller when sorting a list by title.
* A fix to subject links in the catalog’s record summary page so that
periods are no longer stripped from resulting subject searches,
leading to more accurate results when those links are clicked.
* A fix to avoid avoid unint warnings in the logs for prox_cache in
open-ils.circ.hold.is_possible.
* A fix to rounding errors that occured when summing owed/paid totals
for display in the catalog’s credit card payment form.
* A change to sort behavior in the My Account screens. Previously, a
third click on a column header returned the list to its original sort
order. Clicking column headers will now simply toggle the sort between
ascending and descending order.
* The Permalink option on the catalog’s record summary page will now
be hidden in the staff client because clicking the link in the client
led to no discernable change for users.
* A fix to the text of a notice that displays when migrating
circulation history during the upgrade to 2.10.
* An improvement to the performance for the lookup of a user’s circ
history by adding an index on action.usr_circ_history(usr).
* A fix so that when a bib record’s fingerprint changes, it gets
correctly moved to a different metarecord.

In additional, the Spanish translation is now fully enabled.

Evergreen 2.11.1 fixes the same issues fixed in 2.10.8, and also fixes
the following:

* A fix to the display of permanent lists in the catalog, which had
broken in 2.11.0.
* A fix to the web client checkin screen allowing users to click the
title of the checked-in item to retrieve the bib record for that item.

Please visit the downloads page
 to retrieve the server
software and staff clients.

Regards,

Galen

Also beware the web browser needs to access the server on (nonstandard)
port 7682.  If you are behind a firewall, it may be blocking the port.

FYI work is under way to avoid the requirement for using a nonstandard
port:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/opensrf/+bug/1638651

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Web-Client

[Forrest, Stuart]

HI


I am trying to access the web client to see how it is looking. The address I am 
using is 
https://webby.evergreencatalog.com/eg/staff/login?route_to=%2Feg%2Fstaff%2F 
with admin and demo123 as UN and PW.

When I click login nothing happens, any ideas?

Thanks
Stuart

Thanks, I had a lot of fun writing that interface!

Yes, authority records == fun. :)

Looking forward to folks building on the work done to date.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] MARC Edit screen in staff client - adding a field to context menu for authority-populated bib records

[Linda Jansova]

Hi,

Just a quick question:

Is there a way to add a field to a context menu which is displayed when 
one uses MARC Edit screen (in desktop staff client) and right-clicks on 
a bib record field which uses authority data? When one right-clicks on 
author's name, a context menu with suitable authority records appears. 
If a particular authority record is previewed, fields such as 100 show 
up. Could another field (such as 678 which contains biographical data 
and could be used for disambiguation) be displayed in this context menu?


Maybe something like a tag-tables service 
(http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.10/_cataloging_3.html) and "values 
supplied by the tag-table service are used to populate values in context 
menus in the web staff client MARC editor" in particular could be used 
for this purpose?


(Currently we are using 2.10.7 and are interested in this feature either 
for desktop or web staff client.)


Thank you for any hints!

Linda

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] New book: 21st Century Skills Development through Inquiry-based Learning

[samchu]

Introducing you our new book: Chu, S.K.W., Reynolds, R.B., Tavares, N.J., 
Notari, M. & Lee., C.W.Y. (2017). 21st Century Skills Development through 
Inquiry-based Learning: From Theory to Practice. New York: Springer Science. 
(eBook - http://www.springer.com/us/book/9789811024795)



The 21st century is characterized by the rapid progress in technology. It is 
also defined by the complex nature of problems we face in the world today. 
Hence, it is crucial for a learner to be information and computer-literate in 
order to tackle the challenges that lie ahead.


The monotonous and burdensome nature of traditional teaching has failed to 
cultivate innovativeness and learning interest among students. This book offers 
the key to making learning environments fun and inspiring. The book explores 
the theoretical implications of inquiry-based pedagogical approaches and uses 
empirical evidences collected from comprehensive and well-designed research 
studies to offer innovative instructional interventions that support inquiry 
project-based learning as an approach to equip students with twenty-first 
century skills. The book contains the following chapters:

  1.   Introduction
  2.   Twenty-First Century Skills and Global Education Roadmaps
  3.   Twenty-First Century Skills Education in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, China: 
Inquiry Project-Based and Collaborative Teaching/Learning Supported by Wiki
  4.   Twenty-First Century Skills Education in Switzerland: An Example of 
Project-Based Learning Using Wiki in Science Education
  5.   Twenty-First Century Skills Education in the U.S.: An Example of an 
Inquiry-Based Game Design Learning Approach
  6.   Teachers' Professional Development
  7.   Guides and Suggestions for Classroom Implementation
  8.   Assessment Instruments for Twenty-First Century Skills
  9.   Summary and Conclusions


The book targets at academic researchers, education practitioners, 
policymakers, parents, and e-learning service providers who wish to support an 
evolving set of skills and knowledge in learners to prepare them well for 
active engagement in the drastic technological changes in the twenty-first 
century.
