Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Question about label names in Print Item Labels interface

2018-08-16 Thread Sarah Childs

One thing I'm wondering about this is do most libraries that use the
"pocket" labels use them for labels they put on a pocket or for other
purposes, like as a property label?  Is the term pocket label obvious now
that many libraries no longer use pockets?

Maybe it should be labeled "Add Holdings"?   Then it's distinct from both

I like this idea of holdings when talking about call number + item
groupings.   But I do think the term item is better than the term copy,
because I think Jennifer is right about copy implying that there is more
than one of the same thing. There might be only one, or there might be
multiple items which are parts as opposed to "copies."  You have to add
items to create parts, and it seems weird to say you are adding copies in
that instance, since they are all different things.

I agree with Jennifer about consistency being desirable, and preferring the

With the second approach, can it be a space and a single letter, regardless
of case?  In at least one example (k.d. lang), the authorized version is in
lowercase, and there are probably others.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Open-ils-general Digest, Vol 140, Issue 9

2018-02-06 Thread Sarah Childs

These proposed changes seem unobjectionable to me. For my purposes, it
makes it neither worse, nor significantly better. I'm not highly concerned
about having a lot of room for my search results to be listed, because most
of the searches I perform retrieve fewer than five results. If a search has
more results than that, the time consuming part is not scrolling, it's
examining each record to evaluate and compare them. So I still think being
able to arrow through the records in display view would be a much more
useful, functional change than making more room for the list of records.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Acquisitions Interest Group meeting minutes & request for dedicated Acquisitions Listserv

2017-04-21 Thread Sarah Childs

I would vote no, also. I agree that the cataloging listserv is currently
very low volume, and I would not mind at all seeing the acquisitions
discussion on the cataloging list if a relatively quiet space is needed to
hash things out. I say this as a subscriber to the cataloging listserv with
no direct interest in acq, as we're not currently using it at my library. I
think including all tech services topics on the cataloging list is totally
appropriate.

Hopefully there will be a quick resolution. The problem seems to be
affecting a lot of libraries.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Searchable Copy Notes

2016-05-19 Thread Sarah Childs

My first thought is that like us, the libraries in Scott's consortium
likely already have 1000s of existing copy notes that they want to be able
to search. The alternate proposal sounds interesting, but I want to be able
to search all the data that I already have. We've been using Evergreen
since 2008, so we have many, many existing copy notes I'd like to be able
to search.

It sound like we use copy notes in a similar way. We put notes about
various memorials. We also do annual "benefactor" notes for special Friend
of the Library gifts. We also do notes which honor library volunteers each
year. Basically, any time we do a book plate, we also add a copy note. It
would be very useful to be able to search the copy note information. It
would also be useful to have copy note templates that could be applied to
multiple copies at once.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Non-Public Copy Notes

2015-08-05 Thread Sarah Childs

That's my understanding. Whenever I place a hold on a particular copy for
some reason, I use private copy notes to jog my memory about what I need to
do with that item, since it can be a few weeks before the hold is filled.
That is to me useful since I know it is there to look for it.  You can also
generate reports that contain them, so they could be used for projects. On
the whole, though, I agree with you, they are not particularly useful,
since other staff will never see them unless they specifically seek them
out, and it is very tedious to access them.

I've always thought it would be very helpful if there was an option for
copy notes in the column picker. I could use it for checking my public copy
notes without viewing every item in the OPAC, and it would make private
copy notes much more readily visible to staff.

 pretty much useless. Am I missing something?

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Duplicate entry in authors.tt2 (is this bug 958954?)

2015-05-29 Thread Sarah Childs

In response to Dan's points

a) Yes.
b) Yes.
c) I think this is a discussion issue as well. I would prefer using no
terms at all when there is no term or code, because it's not possible to
sufficiently determine the relationship of the person to the work.  A 700
field in a book record could be for an added author, an illustrator, an
editor, a preface author, etc.  For media, the possibilities are equally
varied or even moreso.  I think if no information is supplied in the
record, we shouldn't try to supply a descriptor. Just give the name. It's
frequently explained in notes or the 245.
d) Yes. This but this situation would be fairly rare, so I think it's the
least pressing issue. I'm fine with giving subfield 4 precedence.
e) Haven't noticed anything in this area, but it would be wise to look into
it and resolve if needed.


The terms in RDA are controlled-ish.  There is a list of terms to be used,
but catalogers can supply their own if none in the list are considered
appropriate.


On Fri, May 29, 2015 at 10:57 AM, Dan Scott d...@coffeecode.net wrote:

 It sounds like there are a few issues here, let me see if I can separate
 them out:

 a) bug: relator term $e is not being recognized as the relator, but is
 included in the text display along with parenthetical notation for the
 default relationship (e.g. 700 = (added author))
 b) bug: multiple $4 relator codes are not displayed properly, where
 properly might mean something like $700 $a White, Jack $4 cre $4 dir
 should be displayed as White, Jack (creator, director)
 c) bug: the default relationship of added author for 7xx fields when no
 relator code or term is specified needs to reflect the underlying item type
 (e.g. for a musical recording, should display something like Added artist)
 d) discussion issue: when both $e relator terms and $4 relator codes are
 included in the same field, it's not clear what to display
 e) (unknown if this is an issue, but probably) $e relator terms and $4
 relator codes may or may not be indexed as expected

 For my part on (d), I'm still firmly of the belief that $4 relator code
 should take precedence; it's value can easily be translated in the display
 (and is, for French) and can be used for linked data (like pointing to
 http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/dtc), whereas the $e relator terms
 are effectively uncontrolled text fields that make both translation and
 linked data much, much more difficult.

 Display terms based on codes in subfield 4 if present

 If both subfield e or 4 are present, display one or the other. (Either is

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Duplicate entry in authors.tt2 (is this bug 958954?)

2015-05-28 Thread Sarah Childs

It seems that the current behavior is that there is always a parenthetical,
and if there is a subfield e present, it always displays as well.

I added a subfield 4 to a record, and it appears that what the bug fix does
is to use the code from the subfield 4 to replace the parenthetical
information with more descriptive information than the default.
Unfortunately, the subfield 4 is actually used really rarely, because it's
optional and catalogers never really got on board with it. So the vast
majority of the time you get the default, which is either (Author) for the
100 field or (Added Author) for the 100 field. That's so general as to be
not particularly useful, since when it's accurate that information is
usually clear from the 245, which is displayed above it. For media it's
basically always wrong, and it's wrong pretty frequently for books, too.

Based on that, the main change I'd like to see is that the parenthetical
not be displayed when there is no subfield 4. Right now if we have both
subfield 4 and subfield e, both are displayed, so I wouldn't really
describe subfield e as a fallback. I think if both are present we should
display one or the other, but I don't really feel strongly about which.
Whichever is easier is fine with me. :-)

A summary of what I propose:
If no subfield e or 4, no term should be displayed.
Display subfield e if present
Display terms based on codes in subfield 4 if present
If both subfield e or 4 are present, display one or the other. (Either is

Hi Sarah,

Looking at the subfield e information in that bug, Dan says:

Fall back to the $e if there is no explicit relator code;

It sounds like you are proposing the opposite, use the $e and, if it's not
available, fall back to the relator codes (subfield 4).

I would support that change in direction.

It sounds like an LP bug is in order! :)

If the bug is not the same problem as the one Tony is describing, it's

I would vote for ditching the parenthetical terms entirely. If there are

relator codes (subfield 4), translate and supply those. (Don't give codes,
give terms.) If there is nothing, give nothing, just the names. The
parenthetically supplied terms are usually not that useful and often are
misleading, redundant, or both.

Hi Tony,

I think this is a different issue. The issue here is that we previously
added (Author) or other relator information in parentheses for pre-RDA
records. Now that we have RDA records, the record is also now displaying
the relator information from subfield e.

Has anyone encountered this? Do you think this bug is the same thing?

I can fix this somewhat by going into the authors.tt2 file and removing
the default label, but with that approach, if there is nothing in the
subfield, then there will be zero notation after the author’s name.

If I look at the details for the bug, Dan mentioned there was a fix
released?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts you might have!

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Duplicate entry in authors.tt2 (is this bug 958954?)

2015-05-28 Thread Sarah Childs

That should be (Added Author) for the 700 field.

And I would be on board with displaying the subfield e as a parenthetical
instead of the plain text as Janet describes, although, alternatively if we
displayed information from the subfield 4 consistently with the subfield e
display, I'd be fine with that too, just so long as it's consistent one way
or the other.

And I hadn't looked for cases where the subfield 4 is repeated, but if only
one is displaying, I agree that should be remedied.

It seems that the current behavior is that there is always a

I added a subfield 4 to a record, and it appears that what the bug fix
does is to use the code from the subfield 4 to replace the parenthetical
information with more descriptive information than the default.
Unfortunately, the subfield 4 is actually used really rarely, because it's
optional and catalogers never really got on board with it. So the vast
majority of the time you get the default, which is either (Author) for the
100 field or (Added Author) for the 100 field. That's so general as to be
not particularly useful, since when it's accurate that information is
usually clear from the 245, which is displayed above it. For media it's
basically always wrong, and it's wrong pretty frequently for books, too.

It sounds like you are proposing the opposite, use the $e and, if it's

I would support that change in direction.

It sounds like an LP bug is in order! :)

If the bug is not the same problem as the one Tony is describing, it's very
closely related. The bug does refer to the subfield e, the RDA terms, and
it looks like that's what the non-parenthetical terms are in his example.

 Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Show available copies link in the catalog

 Hi all,

 I've periodically heard from our libraries that they would like the show
 copies link that displays in the available copies area of the public
 catalog record to display even if there are no copies available.

 To demonstrate what I'm talking about, if you look at the
 record-with-available-copies screenshot, there is a link to show all of the
 available copies, which, when clicked, displays copies owned by all
 libraries in the consortium. However, if you look at the
 record-with-no-available-copies screenshot, that link does not display.
 I believe this is because the intent of this particular section of the
 screen is to display available copy information, in which case, the Show
 link wouldn't make sense if there are zero available copies.

 However, there are many cases when a user may start a search scoped to
 their own library, but then may want to see all of the copies in the
 consortium. For example, if there are zero copies available, but only a
 handful of holds, they may want to see the status of the existing copies to
 get an idea of whether they are due soon. Or we may have a situation
 described by one of our libraries where they already have a hold on the
 title, click to the title from their holds list (carrying along the search
 scope in the process), and then want to see the status of the copies owned
 by other libraries in the consortium.

 I think it's a good idea to add a link to display all copies, but the
 question is where would be a good place to put. I've thought of a couple of
 options:

 1 - Display a Show link adjacent to the x current holds with x total
 copies statement. The problem here is that the Show link is a bit
 redundant if the other Show link is always displaying.
 2 - Make the x total copies text in the holds area clickable to show all
 copies owned by the consortium. The problem with this approach is it is
 inconsistent with what's happening in the available copies area.
 3 - Make the existing Show link display regardless of the current
 availability status of copies on the record, even if it is a bit
 incongruous with what that area is supposed to represent.

 Of course, we could always leave that area as it is if other libraries are
 happy with the display.

 What are your thoughts?

 Thanks!
 Kathy

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Show available copies link in the catalog

2015-02-18 Thread Sarah Childs

Between your three options, I don't have strong feelings one way or
another.  Any of them seems reasonably serviceable, but none seems ideal.

I would prefer either of the following options:

Option A
Just above the spot where it actually shows the copies is the place where
it seems most obvious to me to be able to change the scope of what's
displayed. So how about adding links just above the line where the column
descriptions for the copy information are?  I suggest link text that says
something like:  Show copies in X consortium and Show copies in X
Library system if you you were scoped to the branch level.   If you were
scoped to the Consortium it would say Show only copies in X branch and
Show only copies in X Library system   And of course for Library system
you would have either Show copies in X consortium  or  Show only copies
in X branch

I think having different text than just Show (such as Show only) would be
helpful to tip off users that clicking the link will narrow the scope.

Perhaps there could even be a Limit to available copies check box near
these links, and the Show links where the number of Available copies is
displayed could be eliminated.

Option B
I suggest adding a Total Copies column between the Available Copies and
Current Holds columns, and eliminating  the with x total copies text from
the Current Holds column.

I prefer Option A, but I like Option B nearly as well and it would a
smaller change.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] 2.5.2 Subject Browse Index

2014-06-20 Thread Sarah Childs

This is an interesting and useful idea (especially for catalogers!), 
but I'm not sure patrons would dig the intervening screen when 
performing the keyword subject search. It strikes that the function 
would be rather like a disambiguation page on Wikipedia. It might be 
nice might be nice if something like this displayed along with the

I think that Don is talking about something different -- a way to
keyword search subject headings.

Right now we have two subject search options:

On the Basic and Advanced search screen, choosing subject and
entering search terms gets you all the records that have that term in
subject headings.  Show me all the bib records that have the word
Puffins somewhere in the subject headings.

On the Browse search, you choose subject and enter search terms, and
you are shown the alphabetical section of the index that starts with
whatever you entered. You get to a list of subject headings and their
subdivisions (at least if you've done your indexes as described
earlier in this thread, and they have the subdivisions like
Bibliomations.

Keyword searching of subject headings would be saying Show me all
the subject headings that include these search terms.  If you entered
Washington, for example, you'd get something like this:

George Washington Bridge (New York, N.Y.)  (3)
Washington, Booker T., 1856-1915 (30)
Washington, George 1732-1783 (100)

That would be a great feature, something like Find Headings, but I
wouldn't want to see it replace either the way subject searching on
basic advanced or subject browse works now.

I'm confused now. Are we still talking about the subject browse index 
or
are we talking about the bib record? If we're talking about the 
subject

browse index, I would agree, primarily because the user is presumably
seeing a hierarchy of subjects where the broader term may be directly
above the term they are looking at and the narrower term is directly
below. The current behavior is that the link keeps the subject phrase
together when you click on it, so no changes would be required here.

If we're talking about the bib record, I have to say I put a lot of
faith into what I'm sure is highly-funded usability testing done by
Amazon. As Dan mentioned, the current link behavior for subject 
headings
is similar to what Amazon is using. If the Evergreen community were 
to

do a coordinated batch of usability testing (probably not a bad idea)
and found that end users were indeed confused by the behavior, I 
might
think differently, but I personally like the ability to click higher 
in

the subject heading to broaden my search.

It be nice if this would work so you could set this to tell you that it 
when it IS the last copy, or instead set it so that it would tell you 
when it ISN'T the last copy.  For us, the majority of the things we buy 
we only have one copy locally, so it would probably get annoying if it 
told us every time something was the last copy (since that would be most 
of the time). It would be actually more helpful for us if the system 
told us when an item we delete is NOT the last copy, because then we 
would know not to remove OCLC holdings for those items.

on

2.4.3, if that makes a difference, and would welcome any suggestions.



I can report holds for which there is no holdable copy (which we call
hopeless holds) if that would help you, Buzzy.  Using the Hold/Copy
Ratio per Bib report source, here are the filters and displays:



Inline image 1

Inline image 2

We use the results to generate emails or postcards to patrons letting 
them

know that we're unable to fill their hold.  For materials older than a
year, we include instructions on how to request ILL.  The example 
above

filters on just our holdings rather than the entire consortium's, but
leaving off the Owning Library Name filter would fix that.

This is our process as well. Also, we don't use acquisitions yet, but

The opportunistic capture is related to the hold_copy_map, which is

We advise our sites doing Find Another Target for the hold on top of

2014-02-05 Thread Sarah Childs

On a related note, in Indiana we recently added Display as a status.  
This works great for displays that you just fill up with new things as 
the previous ones get checked out. Instead of changing the shelving 
location you set the status of the materials as display, and then when 
they get checked out and checked back in they just go back through the 
regular reshelving to available status cycle and get reshelved at their 
usual shelving locations. Obviously, this isn't so useful for long term 
displays where you want the items on display to return to the display 
after being checked out.

I thought, what if, when we’re done with the display, we could click

the 7 or so locations where the individual items regularly live. That
would be cool. No, MAGIC.



If we held onto the copy bucket with all these items, it seems
possible (to me). The change could be a temporary location change.
Something like, Please change to this new location, but remember your
old one, because you’re going back there someday.



Has anyone else dreamed of this? Any developers want to chime in
whether it’s possible?



Yep, dreamed of it long ago for a slightly different context: putting
items on reserve (which could change their location and call number,
too).

One possibility that now leaps to mind is to make use of the auditor
tables that track every change to a given copy and call number (and
many other entities in the database... at least until those auditor
tables are purged). We could whip up a batch action along the lines of
Reset copy location to previous location pretty easily, I think.

We experience the same thing when we try to narrow a search to a

Justin,

The reason that search is slow is that you're effectively asking the
system to return all bib records, then pull up all their copies, then
pull up those copies' shelving locations, and finally filter out
records that do not have copies that do not have shelving locations in
your list.  That is exactly the reason I built the new items
functionality.

With a little elbow grease, one could certainly use one of the many
XML format output options available for use with the new items list to
re-sort them however one would like, and display them exactly as one
would wish.  Just try replacing html-full with atom or rss2.

In fact, you could even use the OPAC to do the heavy lifting for you
if you were to extract the record IDs from the XML new item feed and
built a search using the record_list() filter and the sort(titlesort)
operator.

Perhaps, with likely less total effort, an opac format could be added
to the new item list, along with support for additional query
components (such as sorting) in the case of the opac format.  A simple
redirect would do.

A wishlist bug sounds like a good idea.  Perhaps time or funding will
materialize.

Hi guys,



Like probably many others, we have noticed that Evergreen is lacking 
a

really good new books feature. We've explored this:



http://missourievergreen.org/opac/extras/browse/html-full/item-age/SRLWA



The presentation of this option isn't very good though, and ideally 
we'd

have the ability to sort by title.



It just so happens that our library who is most interested in this 
has a
shelving location at each of their branches called New Books. So we 
tried

this approach using search syntax:



http://missourievergreen.org/eg/opac/results?fi:item_type=query=locations(1307,1308,1309,1310,1311,1558,1559)+qtype=keywordlocg=174sort=titlesort)



This improves the presentation and allows for title sorting but the 
search
takes *forever* to return and the results are always way off and 
frequently
do not return any results at all. Having just tried it, TPAC claims 
there
are no results whatsoever. Two or three page refreshes later it turns 
up 353
items. According to the DB we have 1951 distinct bibs with items in

locations.



Has anyone else seen this behavior? Is there an open bug on it? 
Should there

be?

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Fwd: Opinions needed on copying patron data to the clipboard

2013-11-07 Thread Sarah Childs

For the simple yes/no vote I'll add my voice as a heavy daily user of 
the staff client that I prefer not to have an extra click.


Long term, however, I agree that the click link to copy is probably 
very weird to new Evergreeners, and that a click to copy button or the 
more standard highlight/control-v would likely seem more natural to 
people.

Hi all,

Looking through the e-mail thread and the original LP bug, I counted 
that:


8 people indicated that they would like an acknowledgement that the
text was copied.
7 indicated that they did not want the additional click.
7 indicated they wanted something else (3 of those 7 were also
counted above because they showed a preference for one approach over
another.)

I agree that it would be preferable to have a tooltip or a consistent
way to display an icon performs the action to copy to the clipboard.
But my follow-up question to those suggestions is if there is anyone
with the tuits to make it happen if we wanted to run with one of these
approaches.

In the case of the original question, it would be fairly easy to
revert this part of the code to its previous state, and I would be
willing to make the code changes if there was a large consensus to do
so (I'm not sure we really have that consensus at the moment.) But
that's about as far as my coding abilities go. :)

I am hopeful that, once we move to a web client, all of the standard
methods for copying and pasting will be available in the client
interfaces, eliminating the need for special Evergreen conventions for
copying this data.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Kathy

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Best method of removing items from bibs?

2013-03-26 Thread Sarah Childs


Hi, Tony.
From the staff client side you can import barcodes into the item status 
screen to delete them using the Upload from File button.  If all your 
report has is the barcodes you can save the excel file and import it 
straight into Item Status. (If the report has other fields, strip them 
from the file) However, I'd recommend breaking them into smaller chunks 
(100-200 or so) at a time. I just copy and paste groups from my report 
into a notepad file. Then you click the Upload from File, select your 
file and the items load. Highlight them and delete the whole group. It's 
a pretty quick and easy process. But I bet there would be a better way 
from the back end if it's a truly massive group. Somebody else will have 
to direct you there.

Hi all,
Was wondering if I could post this out to the group for ideas?
Working with a massive list of electronic resource bib records that 
are
needing some mistakenly added item records removed from them.   I've 
been
able to create a list of item barcodes in the reports module.  Is 
there a
way I can mass add these items via a copy bucket so that I can delete 
them

all at once from my list of bib records?
Oris there a faster (better, cheaper, etc.) method of mass 
deleting
item records from the bibliographic records that I'm not aware of?  
This
involves electronic resource records, which don't need any attached 
item

records.  PSQL operation maybe that you have used before?
Thanks for any links, thoughts, your experience on this as you have a
minute or two
Tony
