out by something other than the barcode (author, title, record number)?
It doesn't appear to be so based on the 2.2 demo system.

<p class=3D"MsoNormal">This thread raises an interesting dev situation/ques=
tion. If one is trying to help a library pull Evergreen togethe=
r and they are in a remote situation, what is the best practice for testing=
desk functions? I don't happen to have a stack
and patrons handy most days. What are the best practices for t=
esting remotely? Do folks have dummy items in their catalog? Is=
there an extra dummy volume that is barcoded and stored in the shelving lo=
cation "test stack"? How do you do it?<br>
<br>
for my part, for better or worse, I use live items that i know are currentl=
y not checked out. In my rural library setting this tends to be safe =
since I choose titles that have low circ stats. I do, however run the=
risk that a parton will try and check out
my copy of "Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" while I'm=
using it for testing. While I use this technique for my poor l=
ibrary consortium, I am aware it is not a "Best Practice" in IT d=
evelopment. What does your development environment look like?
