[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Two questions

[Roberge, Pierre]

Hi all,

 

Someone asked me if the Staff client could be installed and run on a Mac. Is it possible? Is there a specific installation program to use? Also is it correct to assume that the client can run on any Linux flavour?

 

On an other topic, Mike explained to me that there are plans to develop an authority management interface. That would be great. I understand that for the moment, authority records are batch loaded. On the other hand, we noticed that the cataloguing client already seems to be in some way 'authority aware'. When we ask for validation of a record, the fields that are usually under authority control are highlighted in red (like fields 440 and 650). When it happens, does that simply mean there are no authority records to match these specific fields? Are there authority records loaded in the Demo database? And if so, are there complete authority records (with all the related terms, unauthorised forms, generic terms and so on)? How does that work?

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Regards,
