Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Slight conference shuttle changes

The shuttle is running behind. There is a group of us waiting outside across from the doors by the escalators and Starbucks in the baggage claim area. If anyone else was planning on the 5:30 shuttle but are already here, you might come check if we are still here, or text me at 573-808-2309. Justin

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] alert for once juvenile becomes adult

Holly, I think the simplest solution would be to run a script on a nightly cron that updated the database as necessary. Flip the Juvenile flag, change their profile, possibly remove the grouping/ident2_value, and add an alert. I thought we might be running something like that ourselves, but e

I should clarify that my previous suggestion was based on my recollection that you have access to the database and could set this up. Justin On 6/10/15 3:09 PM, Justin Hopkins 📖 wrote: Holly, I think the simplest solution would be to run a script on a nightly cron that updated the database

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Did you migrate from III?

Hi Glen, Missouri Evergreen has a number of libraries that were previously using Millennium. Our process and positive experience was very much like Martha's. We did not pay Innovative to extract the transactional data (holds, circs). We also did not use the xmlOpac - we used yaz tools to do the co

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] SMS Carrier gateways for MVNO's

Hi Josh, We've fielded many help desk tickets from our libraries on this question. We typically explain the issue to them as "unless they know the underlying carrier it won't work for them". I learned something today about the model number of their phone being indicative of the carrier. That's goo

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Wowbrary Script Error

Melissa, You might try running the command by hand (the exact command you have in cron) with the user who's crontab it is in. That user may not have the same environment or database permissions as your user on the system where it's working. Justin On Wed, Mar 16, 2016 at 11:20 AM, Melissa Ceraso

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] a flurry of newbie questions

Tom, If you can manage it on such short notice I'd highly recommend the Evergreen conference, which is right around the corner. https://evergreen-ils.org/conference/eg16/ Sitting down with a group of people at the conference and chatting for a while would save you many, many hours of email :-)

Seems like a lively party, so I'll join in. I think all the matchpoints are bad. Ultimately we used many different factors to arrive at a sort of "match score". This seemed to be a good approach. Obviously, we can't plan for all the possible variations and inconsistencies in MARC, but we can do a
