Subject: [OPEN-ILS-DEV] Two questions



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,
