[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Meeting update : TEP/EOB

[Goben, Anna]

Following discussion with the board members, the TEP/EOB handover meeting will 
be held on its originally scheduled date of April 22, 2020 rather than the 
usual cyclical date (today).  The time of the meeting has been changed to 2pm 
ET, however, rather than the evening slot originally planned.

The participation information and agenda are available on the Evergreen wiki.

Thanks!

So I am presuming then that the Owning library is the one that owns the bib 
record, for the sake of a better term and the circulating library is the one 
that owns the copy. The checkout library is the one that circulates the copy?

Our owning library is set to BCL and the circulating libraries are set to the 
individual branches, BCL-BEA, BCL-BLU, etc...

Hi

This may sound a simple question to some, but my brain seems unwilling to 
compute!

So if a book that has been placed on hold that has a Circulating Library of 
'LibraryA' is then transitted to 'LibraryB' where the hold is being fulfilled. 
Does the circulating library temporarily change to 'LibraryB' so that library 
gets the circulation? I'm thinking of circ reports now. Or would it be better 
to use Checkout Library instead to capture all circulations at 'LibraryB'

Hopes this makes sense to someone as I am not quite understanding it.

Thanks
Much
Stuart

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Special circulations problem

[Goben, Anna]

We’ve seen this happen when this bug rears up for Lost/CR materials:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1781274

Even if you check the CR item in the xact has to be closed for the item to fall 
away from the special/other interface.  The fix for us has been to manually 
close the xact in the DB.

Would anyone happen to know how to clear an item out of the Other/Special 
Circulations category on a patron's account (version 3.3)? The item has no 
bills attached that I can see and has been circulating among other patrons, but 
I cannot figure out a way to delete it from this patron's account.

Good morning all!

I'm trying to map out more of the final scheduling for the Hack-A-Way and need 
to know who may need us to shuttle them to/from the airport.  If you need a 
shuttle, please send me (directly at the email address listed below) your 
flight info so I can put together the driving schedule for our volunteers.

We're also Lyft/Uber friendly here in Indy if you'd prefer to manage your own

Hi Anna -

No dietary requirements, but 2 questions (immediate response not required):

1) I'd like to be as helpful/productive as possible - I'm thinking that helping 
with documentation is something I could do. If there's anything specific you 
could think of, I'd be happy to help in any way I can (fetching coffee is not 
out-of-bounds for me). But seriously, any thoughts would be helpful - and, if 
there's any homework I can do, please let me know.

2) I'm guessing there's a room rate for the Hackathon? Do I just need to call 
the Inn and mention Evergreen?

I have a meeting Tues. morning but - otherwise - am available to help in any 
way.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] deleting lost and missing items

[Goben, Anna]

We’ve automated the deletion at 5 years in Indiana, but libraries may manually 
delete them according to local policy at any time up until then.

I’ll note that we also put Discard/Weed, In Process, and On Order in that 
automated process since materials hanging out in those statuses unchanged after 
5 years are usually housekeeping remainders/long gone/never materialized.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Monograph Parts in Consortiums

[Goben, Anna]

All of our libraries resource share; that is a requirement of our consortium.  
So when I say that they aren’t resource sharing below, it is merely on specific 
items/titles that they’ve restricted use to local availability due to scarcity 
or fragility usually.  And yes, patrons do get frustrated when they see 
something they want that isn’t available for transit, but that has less to do 
with parts than transit holds in general.  Our reason for encouraging parts to 
be placed on all materials, regardless of transitability, is that we found that 
libraries were losing local circs because the patrons wanted to be able to say 
what they wanted when placing the hold, so if the local library chose to skip 
creating a part on a parted record, their patrons were bypassing the local 
materials in favor of those that were parted because they knew what they were 
getting.

For your manga example, if one of my libraries doesn’t want to part, they have 
to put their holdings on separate (individual volume) bibs rather than the 
record that’s parted.  Can hit all of the bases then so patrons can still place 
holds on what they want, regardless of whether they search for the full run or 
the individual issue.  It means more bibs and a lot more searching for some 
patrons, but it’s worked for us so far as it appeals to two different search 
styles.

As more and more of the libraries have parted their materials, we are getting 
less frustration about not being able to get the part desired (because now 
there are 12 or 15 copies available rather than just the 1 at the library that 
started parting the record) and reverting to frustration about why we can’t 
just ship everything all the time! ☺

I believe our error code is something along the lines of the item not 
transiting that far rather than maxholds, but there’s always room for 
improvement on the error messages!

Thanks, Anna!

Our problem is that we do not engage in resource sharing at the consortium 
level.  We have some libraries and library systems that share with each other, 
but not across the board.  Like you said, we’d like to see patrons able to view 
only those parts that are available to them.

It sounds like you have libraries that don’t share resources but make use of 
monograph parts.  Do their patrons ever experience issues requesting parts that 
are not available to them?   Right now, we’ve noticed that if a patron places a 
hold on a part that’s not available to them, they get an error message stating 
that they have reached the maximum number of holds which is kind of confusing 
because we don’t have a maximum number of holds.

Hi Sylvia,

In Indiana, we use parts heavily for resource sharing, so scoping to specific 
branches/systems would actually work directly against our goals to maximize the 
pool of available targets.  What we have talked about instead is a way to scope 
the holds on parts to only show those parts that are available to the patron 
(either via transit or locally).  Due to the complexity of our holds rules, we 
do not anticipate that will happen any time soon though.

We have shared style guides to build our parts so that there aren’t unnecessary 
duplications of parts and for sorting purposes.  Also for high demand/heavily 
parted titles, we have asked that even those libraries that aren’t resource 
sharing use parts so that patrons have a consistent experience.  It does mean 
some extra work for your catalogers, especially up front for any major 
collection, but in the long run, our patrons have indicated they really 
appreciate the ability to request the specific part they want regardless of who 
owns it.  (And generally, they don’t care who owns it as long as they can get 
it and get it quickly.)

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Monograph Parts in Consortiums

[Goben, Anna]

Hi Sylvia,

In Indiana, we use parts heavily for resource sharing, so scoping to specific 
branches/systems would actually work directly against our goals to maximize the 
pool of available targets.  What we have talked about instead is a way to scope 
the holds on parts to only show those parts that are available to the patron 
(either via transit or locally).  Due to the complexity of our holds rules, we 
do not anticipate that will happen any time soon though.

We have shared style guides to build our parts so that there aren’t unnecessary 
duplications of parts and for sorting purposes.  Also for high demand/heavily 
parted titles, we have asked that even those libraries that aren’t resource 
sharing use parts so that patrons have a consistent experience.  It does mean 
some extra work for your catalogers, especially up front for any major 
collection, but in the long run, our patrons have indicated they really 
appreciate the ability to request the specific part they want regardless of who 
owns it.  (And generally, they don’t care who owns it as long as they can get 
it and get it quickly.)

Hi Sylvia,
I do not know of a way to limit the display of parts to the scoped library 
without development.

Just to give some background on this feature, one of the primary reasons it was 
developed was precisely so that holds on a specific volume or disc could be 
applied across the entire consortium. Prior to the existence of parts, the only 
way to place a hold on a specific volume or disc was to place a volume-level 
hold, which targets copies that share the same call number owned by the same 
org unit. For our consortia, this was too limiting because we want our part 
holds to be fillable by all libraries just as we do with title holds. We don't 
use any hard or soft hold boundaries in our consortia that might limit which 
libraries can fill a hold.

If you want to limit the holds to just holdings within the library or system, 
you could probably refrain from adding parts, make the volume hold link 
available to the public, and encourage them to place holds that way. However, I 
think this would be very unintuitive and would lead to a lot of title holds on 
the record that could be filled by a random volume.

Barring that, I think development would be required to get what you're looking 
for.

Kathy

Hi everyone,

We’ve recently had a couple of libraries in our consortium (SPARK) move towards 
using monograph parts for things like manga.

We are now noticing that when patrons go to place a hold on a record with 
monograph parts, they can chose from all parts that exist within the 
consortium, not just those with holdings at their library or library system.  I 
understand that the parts are shared at the consortium level, but is there any 
way to hide parts that are not associated with any holdings at the scoped 
library or library system?

If it’s not possible, I would be interested in hearing how other consortiums 
deal with monograph parts.

Thanks so much!

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Question about a small library without a catalog to migrate

[Goben, Anna]

We have 4 libraries doing this currently (cataloging into our consortium)!  We 
do wait until the library has reached a critical mass (80%+) of their 
collection before issuing cards and granting their patrons access to the 
consortium (to encourage timely cataloging of their collection).  We've also 
instituted a program in the last year where experienced staff from other area 
consortium libraries come in for work days to help out with the process of 
getting the materials in.  As with the others, we barcode as we go, especially 
as additional weeding tends to happen as catalogers actually handle the item 
and can reevaluate based on consortium availability of a given title (How many 
copies of that 1960s edition classic *do* we really need?).  While in the 
cataloging phase, the collections are hidden and untargetable.

Congrats on your new member!

Up until now we have only dealt with libraries that had established catalogs.  
I now have a very small library that only has a card catalog and their books 
are not barcoded.

Where do I start?  I know the new librarian has started with weeding and that 
is always my first suggested step.

Do we barcode the books first or as they are added to the Virginia Evergreen 
Libraries catalog?

I would think they would register patrons as they borrow books.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Hack-a-way Date Poll

[Goben, Anna]

Good afternoon all!

I had a request to poll the community to find a best fit for the Hack-a-way 
dates this year.  To that end, I'm opening a Doodle poll for a couple of days 
to get input!

https://doodle.com/poll/386zyef6m879wz63

Please note: the "season" ends on November 1 at our venue, so lodging will be 
more expensive before and less expensive after that date, if that needs to play 
into your planning and choice.

Thanks for participating!

Feel free to edit it to add working documents, agenda items, etc...

At the bottom we have a voluntary sign up list if you want to show that you are 
attending.  This is purely voluntary.  You can attend and not list yourself.  
We will also be setting up a travel spreadsheet soon as we have in past years 
so that people can list when they are coming and going if they want to catch up 
with others traveling close to them, share rides, etc...
