[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Open-ils-general Digest, Vol 42, Issue 2

Hi Jason,

No, I haven't.  I'm just the cataloger at WJU, and Jeff, our IT guy who
did our data migration and Evergreen installation, just accepted a job
elsewhere.  Has anyone else had trouble with importing authority records
in 1.4.0.6?  Will upgrading to 1.6 solve this?

Thanks,
Chris

Levani, I believe this is harmless.  See

That looks like you're running an older version of EG.  The latest
stable releases should provide a working Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete/Select
All context menu when you right-click in those fields.  Not sure what
it would take to provide a list of valid values like we do for the
subfields elsewhere.

Hilary,

This is the link you're looking for:
http://www.evergreen-ils.org/downloads/evergreen-setup-rel_1_2_4_0.exe

I've updated the splash page for demo.gapines.org accordingly.

Thanks!

Would folks find it useful to have buckets that just cannot have
duplicates (in math-speak, they'd be Sets)?  Is anyone relying on the
ability to have duplicates?

Hey Chris, did you make any headway on this?

Hi Mary, you may have EG configured to auto-delete bib records when
the last item is removed.

If that's the case, the only way you can retrieve that record for
undeletion is via its TCN or record ID, or if it is still referenced
in a bucket or bookbag, or if you can find a past circulation
involving the item you deleted.

You could run a report for recently deleted records and grab the
record id from it.

Okay, here are some of the libraries conceivably involved:

1) patron home lib
2) staff home lib
3) workstation lib (where the circulation took place)
4) item's "circ lib", which is where the item tends to transit to upon
checkin if not being grabbed for a hold
5) item's "owning lib" via the callnumber/volume
6) circulation's "circ lib" field (which will be the same as the
workstation lib)

Any of these things you can get at and count, but I think the simplest
option is 6, and that's likely what most circ reports will be
defaulting to (source: Circulation -> Circulating Library).

In order to get the owning lib, you'd need your reports to look at
something like:

Circulation -> Circulating Item -> Call Number/Volume -> Owning Library

Jason, 

Personally, there are other problems with buckets that are much more
pressing that I would rather have handled than this.
