[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] cataloging

[Michael McArthur]

Hi Lauri,

You always need to "Check in" a book after you add it.  Try that and see if it works.

I work for a small public library and we are looking at Evergreen to replace
our old system.  Our volunteer tech person has downloaded and installed the
demo server and staff client.  I have been given the task of figuring out
how it works (but I'm not a tech person).  I have found a lot of helpful
information on the website, but was wondering if there were any easy
instructions for cataloging materials.  I have added several records using
the Z30.50 tool.  Then edited the record using "holdings maintenance"  and
have made the holding available.  My problem is that not all of the holding
show up in the OPAC search, but if i click on the browse shelf they show
up.  I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.  Any help and guidance will be
greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Lauri
