Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Patron batch updates

[Mina Edmondson]

York County , PA is currently updating permission groups of patrons from 
juvenile to adult, one by one. We typically delete expired cards in January. We 
would also like to be able to import barcodes in batch and update or add patron 
stat cats. Examples would be- all students who attend a certain school, SRC 
attendance by year, attendance at or membership in special programs etc. Simply 
being able to import by batch and then make changes individually to records 
without scanning or typing in individual barcodes would save time.

I agree with Elaine, our prefix, call number, suffix and shelving location all 
designate different information and we use them all for reports.

I think adding a feature that would allow the user to choose whether to include 
the prefix in a browse search is a good compromise. I would not want to lose 
the ability to exclude prefixes from sorting.

 

Back in the Dark Ages, when I first began cataloging at SOLINET's retrospective 
conversion department, we used subfields in the 090 (locally assigned LC type 
call number) and 092 (locally assigned Dewey) for prefixes and suffixes. I no 
longer remember what the subfield for the prefix was but it wasn't unusual for 
an academic library to have a call
number like:|?R |aF495 |b .J3 |y 1800-1810, |v Vol. 1|p Pt. 2 |n
no.3. It was cumbersome; but, call numbers sorted correctly. 

 

It would be nice to have a call number browse for shelflisting to check call 
numbers that differed from the call number browse used by noncatalogers. 
Shelflisting functionality allows you to see where the call number fits, with 
or without affixes. Even for those libraries that don't require unique call 
numbers, it does help in co-location and allows you to spot an error in class 
number assignment quickly.

Thank you Kathy and Elaine for increasing my understanding of this issue.

 

We really like using the call number prefix to cut down on mistakes during data 
entry, and to just leave less for staff to enter.  Since the call number prefix 
can be included in the item template, it works well.  I just tried saving a 
call number label in the template, that didn't seem to work.  So the answer of 
just enter the prefix manually to sort by the prefix seems like a big step back.

 

So we would like to keep using them, but have them behave like Kathy's second 
example, the browse is a representation of how the items appear on the shelf, 
where they are included in the sort.  It would be nice if we could have the 
best of both worlds.  Dewey call numbers with prefixes would browse without 
including the prefixes (if wanted) but non Dewey call numbers could include the 
prefix in the sort (if wanted).

 

I'm going to start a wishlist bug report on this, since it has been discussed 
before, so there must be some other interest out there.

Hi Josh,

The question of whether the Call Number Shelf Browse should sort by prefix then 
call number or should just sort by call number is
