[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Looking for thoughts on Launchpad bug 1482757

[Morgan, Michele]

Hi,

We at NOBLE are wrestling with the issues described in this Launchpad bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1482757

As described in the bug, each time a record with 856 links is loaded,
existing URI entries for the matching bib are deleted from the call number
table, and a new set it is added. We're looking for thoughts on possible
approaches to avoid this blanket deletion and addition to the call number
table, or otherwise preserve the original create dates of the URIs.

Electronic Resources are as much a part of our libraries' collections as
print resources and we need to be able to provide the same type of holdings
reports for these that we do for print items. Right now we are unable to
provide monthly reports on numbers of electronic resources added or removed
since we can't use the create dates from the call number table.

We are happy with the way the electronic resources are represented in the
catalog. But we are unable to find a way to provide reports our libraries
need.

Any thoughts on possible approachs to remedy this would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Michele
