[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] shared funding for Evergreen enhancement?

[Marilyn Pillar]

Our staff did comment that a series display with volume number would be
of benefit to our customers.  Other enhancements which would improve the
search capabilities for both staff and the public have also been
identified.  

 

We are most concerned about subjects.  Has anyone looked into the
possibility of having more detailed subject displays?  Currently only
subfield "a" is displayed in the "Relevant Subjects" list.  This is not
very helpful when one is searching for specific time periods in the
history of a country for example.

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] shared funding for Evergreen enhancement?

 

I am writing to see if there is interest among Evergreen libraries in
sharing in the cost of an enhancement to the OPAC display.  Currently,
Evergreen is searchable by "Series," but the series information does not
display in the OPAC view.  Our libraries are interested in seeing the
440, 490, and 830 subfield a and subfield v information displayed so
that patrons can see the series number for a specific title. 

Equinox has given us a quote of $4,200-$7,000 to do the programming for
this enhancement request.  If any Evergreen libraries would be willing
to share in the cost of this enhancement, please contact me. Also, if
any of you are currently in the process of developing this enhancement
on your own, please let me know that as well. 

Thanks!  Ruth
