[Evergreen-catalogers] Basket to bucket and batch edit

[Simone Rauscher]

I will be adding heat to this bug - something like this would be awesome:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1721262


This is something mentioned by the cataloging staff here as a nice-to-have, described as a step-by-step process:

1) Search the catalog for items by author, title, series, etc.
2) Have a checkbox next to each result that can be selected.
3) Click a button to create an item/record bucket containing those items.

Example: All Dav Pilkey "Captain Underpants" novels are being changed to being shelved as juvenile rather than easy; cataloger searches "Pilkey", selects the Captain Underpants titles, and creates a bucket to work with directly from the catalog.

I have no idea if this is even feasible, but wanted to put it out there.



or just the ability to do an item search as well as a record search.

CAUTION: Email external to Grimsby!

Along the lines of Sara's suggestion, you might also be able to run a report based on circulation modifier or shelving location(s) to get a list of your items.

There's a wishlist bug for the ability to create item buckets from a catalogue search - https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1721262
