Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Printers for Spine and Pocket Labels

 

Hi,

  We will be migrating to Evergreen in early 2015. I took a look at the
label printing function in the Cataloging Module, and it looks like it
prints on demand to continuous feed stock (as opposed to batch printing to
sheets of laser labels which is what we do now). Can anyone recommend a
printer for printing spine / pocket labels? Also, it would help if you could
provide me with the brand and product number of your label stock.

 

Thank you,
Scott

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] FWIW Evergreen Koha sites

2014-06-16 Thread David M. Daniels
Not to mention Koha had the early start in 99 while Evergreen started in 2004 
so to have that many in short time is really a good standing.

I'll echo Jason's sentiment, I'm glad to see open source growing.  I wouldn't 
read too much into a difference in numbers between Koha and Evergreen.  They 
are different creatures that will appeal to different libraries for different 
reasons.  

 

Now, I will be much more interested in comparing Evergreen's current numbers to 
adoption rates after the new staff client goes live.

Sorry I was referring directly to the url for the libraries.

 

To set the URL for a given branch, use the Local Administration → Library 
Settings Editor and edit the Library Information URL setting for that branch. 
Any branches that do not have a library information URL setting display as 
normal text.

It is going to depend on the strength of your wireless.
As long as signal is good you should not have a problem.

Hi everyone,

We're planning inventory for our libraries and I was thinking of using
laptops with metrologic scanners to check in items as we go along the
shelves. I know this is probably a tough question to answer, but do you
think using a wireless connection would be unwise for this task? Would it
make more sense to use off-line circ?

Thanks!

Can anyone recommend an affordable, reliable receipt printer that works well
with Evergreen's circulation functions?

Printers with parallel connections seem problematic -- those with serial
connections are impossible.
