From klussier at masslnc.org Thu May 3 15:18:28 2018 From: klussier at masslnc.org (Kathy Lussier) Date: Thu, 3 May 2018 14:18:28 -0500 Subject: [Evergreen-acq] Overview and mockups for acquisitions development project Message-ID: Hi all, I'm sending along a link to the overview of the acquisitions development project that was discussed at the acquisitions interest group this morning. https://yeti.esilibrary.com/dev/public/techspecs/angular-acq-phase0-rept.pdf Equinox created this report, which breaks down a project to move acquisitions to AngularJS (or Angular) in ten different sprints. The report also includes some draft mock-ups for acquisitions interfaces. Many thanks to Georgia PINES for funding this report! Along with this report, MassLNC has received a quote to create tech specs for this project. We'll be reviewing the quote over the next few weeks and will possibly reaching out to the community for help in funding this project. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions!

Before the migration, when an invoice was transmitted from B&T and processed, lines with multiple copies were billed/paid at the amount for all the copies, and the per copy price was calculated. The amounts were correct. Since our upgrade, the same type of invoices (same provider record, etc.) have come in with the price for a single copy being entered in billed/paid instead of the full amount for all the copies. The per copy price that results from dividing the single copy price by all the copies is too low. This only happens with the AV material. Book orders are calculated correctly. B&T required that for AV orders, a variant of the library SAN be transmitted with the EDI order, and we've been doing that without a problem up until recently by making an addition to the JEDI template. Has anyone else noticed something like this in their invoices? I've looked on Launchpad and don't see a ticket describing this, so I thought I'd check with the acq community first.

I'm very excited to see this work on the Acquisitions module! I'm especially happy to see the proposal to handle provider records and searching more like the patron records, which is what I've been wishing for ever since we migrated to Evergreen last year. I have a couple of comments on the proposal. One is that in the provider record, I don't see a field for FEIN. Our budget office has required us to provide the FEIN for all our vendors, for the past 20 years or so. They will not pay anyone without an FEIN or SSN, and have required us to get that information from our providers. I wonder if you all could consider adding a dedicated field for FEIN on the provider records, along with the name, provider code and SAN. Our other big problem with the provider records is that we made extensive use of vendor notes in our former ILS. These were actually all migrated to Evergreen. But they're useless to us because, although there is a notes field in the Evergreen provider record, it does not display in the client. I don't see a notes field for providers anywhere in the proposal. No doubt adding a notes field would throw off the quote provided, but it's a big concern for our library. We've got plenty of places for notes on patron records in Evergreen; I'd like to see something similar for provider records. Maybe this could be kept in mind for future development? Those two points aside, this proposal would be a great advance for acquisitions in Evergreen. I am looking forward to seeing the improvements!

Irene, Equinox is as excited to be designing the features and writing the code as you are to see it happening, I assure you! The way we do development intentionally takes feedback like this into account. The initial phase will be creation of the sets of functional specifications in consultation with our funding partners, and to the degree we can, by the broader community. While I can't promise specifics before we've created the functional specs, I can say that the two things you list here are relatively minor additions given the full scope of the project, and could likely be incorporated into the specs as we move forward. I would not expect either to blow up the budget of the provider portion of our work.

We had one question about the mockup of the New Provider modal. In the mockup, the Active checkbox is checked. Will this box be checked by default for all new providers (or perhaps "sticky", so that it remembers if it was checked or unchecked for the last provider created)? We'd prefer that this checkbox is sticky or that it is checked by default. We've run into a lot of confusion when we forgot to check this box, and can't figure out why the provider isn't showing up in any of our dropdowns.

The MassLNC Evergreen Development Initiative and Georgia PINES have committed to funding the entire set of technical specifications for this very important next step in web client development. Many thanks to the partners in the Development Initiative for supporting this project: CW MARS, NOBLE, Bibliomation, BC Libraries, Georgia PINES, Evergreen Indiana, Lake Agassiz Regional Library / Northwest Regional Library and Howe Library. We expect to receive our first quote to code this project in the fall with the quotes for the final sprints arriving at the beginning of 2019. At that time, we will be seeking funding from the community to move this project forward. As you plan your development budgets, please consider setting aside some funds for this project so that we can look forward to seeing revamped acquisitions interfaces as soon as possible. Feel free to let us know if you have any questions. Thank you!

They're even kind enough to put pricing information into a 9XX field in the search results (see attached). However, Evergreen doesn't use that pricing information in the line item that it creates. Is there a way to configure Evergreen to pull pricing info from a MARC field when creating a line item from a MARC Federated Search? If not, I can start a launchpad bug. :-) Thanks! -Jane -- Jane Sandberg Electronic Resources Librarian Linn-Benton Community College sandbej at linnbenton.edu / 541-917-4655 Pronouns: she/her/hers -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The way we do development intentionally takes feedback like this into account. The initial phase will be creation of the sets of functional specifications in consultation with our funding partners, and to the degree we can, by the broader community. While I can't promise specifics before we've created the functional specs, I can say that the two things you list here are relatively minor additions given the full scope of the project, and could likely be incorporated into the specs as we move forward. I would not expect either to blow up the budget of the provider portion of our work.

I'm very excited to see this work on the Acquisitions module! I'm especially happy to see the proposal to handle provider records and searching more like the patron records, which is what I've been wishing for ever since we migrated to Evergreen last year. > I have a couple of comments on the proposal. One is that in the provider record, I don't see a field for FEIN. Our budget office has required us to provide the FEIN for all our vendors, for the past 20 years or so. They will not pay anyone without an FEIN or SSN, and have required us to get that information from our providers. I wonder if you all could consider adding a dedicated field for FEIN on the provider records, along with the name, provider code and SAN. > Our other big problem with the provider records is that we made extensive use of vendor notes in our former ILS. These were actually all migrated to Evergreen. But they're useless to us because, although there is a notes field in the Evergreen provider record, it does not display in the client. I don't see a notes field for providers anywhere in the proposal. No doubt adding a notes field would throw off the quote provided, but it's a big concern for our library. We've got plenty of places for notes on patron records in Evergreen; I'd like to see something similar for provider records. Maybe this could be kept in mind for future development? > Those two points aside, this proposal would be a great advance for acquisitions in Evergreen.
