[OPEN-ILS-DEV] possible staff client changes--holds pull lists, patron summary sidebar , checkout due date entry, and billing interface (with screenshots)

[Hardy, Elaine]

I thought you had to pull the specific barcode -- at least when I pulled holds for STATELIB-L, if it wasn't the same barcode an error message came up when you tried to capture the hold.

Lively discussion in the same direction : ) 

Basically, I agree with Jeremy also as long as there is the possibility of 
printing the holds list based upon the columns selected. I like the 
one-click approach where you go from column view to printing without having 
to reformat the data. 

When I mentioned barcode I probably should have started patron barcode. 

I was lobbying for the possibility of printing the columns selected in a 
format similar to Pull List 3. Adding the patron name would allow the 
librarian to fill the hold without looking up additional information. The 
item barcode would be scanned from the item in hand - not keyed from 
information on the slip. where you go from column view to printing without 
having to reformat the data.where you go from column view to printing 
without having to reformat the data. 

Librarians would tend to ignore the item barcode unless a specific copy is 
needed although in some instances we are looking for a specific copy.

Unfortunately, this isn't true. The hold that is filled by a copy is 
not necessarily the hold that targeted the copy, because the holds are 
filled (nominally, with proximity adjustment) in request order. In 
other words, the pull list is just for getting copies from the shelf 
to the hold capture (or checkin) interface. The hold slip that is 
printed at actual capture time is an authoritative record of which 
hold a copy is filling.
