[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Holding Maintenance - Problems after books batch uploading

[Dimitri Gogelia]

Hi Dan!

First of all thank you for reply and sorry for my bad english. You know, I'm
very novice administrator of Evergreen and don't know how to find version
number. As I know, our system is hosted in http://isi.evergreencatalog.com .
I'm using Staff Client version 1.6.0.1.
I know, when I import records, I check "Import Attached Holdings" and in
marc code 852 I have information. But however we have no copies and shelf
information.

Aside: As part of the work I did for UPEI in the last few weeks, I

fixed the bug that prevented the "Bibliographic source" selection

widget in MARC Batch Import from having any effect, and also taught

the MARC editor how to modify the bibliographic source for a given

record. The fix and new MARC editor functionality will be available in

the next 2.0 alpha release. The MARC Batch import fix will be in the

next 1.6.1.x release after 1.6.1.2, and the new MARC editor

functionality will also be available if a 1.6.2.x release ever

happens.

Sorry for my dummy questions, but where can i find this widget and how can i
install it on my system?
What is the MARC editor and where can i find it?

with best regards,
Dimitri Gogelia
CTO
