[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Best Hold Sort Order - System Level Proximity Option?

[Josh Stompro]

Hello, I'm just curious if this is currently possible.  We have one system that 
wants to fill their holds in FIFO order, but also wants holds from any of their 
branches to have priority over holds from other systems.  It seems to me that 
all the owning location aware proximity sort options would prioritize based on 
a specific owning location.

What they don't want is any one hold for their patrons to be prioritized over 
another hold for one of their patrons.  I think the hprox, htime and shtime 
would all give priority to holds that have the same pickup lib as the item 
owning location.  They float all items, so the owning location doesn't really 
mean anything to them.

We don't really want to use soft boundaries and the depth sort order because we 
don't want there to be restrictions set at the time the hold is placed.  We 
want the system to be more flexible.  But maybe I'm not understanding how that 
works, and it would do just what I'm asking?

Maybe there could be a new sort option,  hpprox , Owning Library parent to 
pickup library parent proximity with no adjustments?

All,

Thought we should share. This documentation is what we used to "kick 
start" everyone in Missouri Evergreen using the web based staff client.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] [External] Re: Publication Year in Reports

[Patrick, Irene]

Rogan,

To answer your question, I was using the built-in Evergreen reports, and was 
pulling the “Publication Year (normalized)” from the Bib Record--Simple Record 
Extracts.  I’m guessing that the normalization routine is doing something 
unusual when the date isn’t the standard four-digit year.

Hi Irene,

Are you using the reporter table for this?  I have seen this before there and 
not had the tuits to look into it in any depth since I've only seen it on rare 
occasions but checking a few data sets it's not hard to find examples under a 
number of scenarios and it's not hard to imagine a regular expression creating 
this result.  It's probably worth a launchpad bag and some discussion on how to 
handle it.  Maybe we should be checking for a four digit number and using it 
when found.

Ultimately that table might get replaced with newer functionality of course as 
the pub date field itself isn't RDA friendly but that's another discussion.

Has anyone ever noticed that there is some strangeness with the Publication 
Year in Evergreen reports?  The Publication Year is normalized in the output, 
and there seems to be an issue with how the data gets normalized.  Some 
examples of what I am seeing:

264 $c  September 1, 2015Publication Year in report:  1

264 $c  October 6, 2017 Publication Year in report:  6

264 $c October 31, 2016Publication Year in report:  31

When the date in the 264 is not simply the year, the normalization routine 
seems to be pulling out only a piece of the date, not the full date.

I tried looking for any previous reports of this issue in Launchpad but didn’t 
find one.  Apologies if it is there and I missed it.
