[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Publication patterns

[Tara Robertson]

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in replying...

I can't speak to this specific prediction pattern. I'll be working
more on predictions in the following weeks, if I figure out anything
useful I'll reply.

Currently there is no standard for sharing serials prediction
patterns. A few of us (some Sitka, KCLS folks and Chris Cormack from
Koha) had a really good conversation about this at the pub, and
hopefully the Evergreen and Koha communities can figure out a way for
libraries to share these. Are you interested in helping figure this
out?

Cheers,
Tara

I've been searching for them, but could not find anything on the website. We already made a lot of different usable patterns, so maybe we can contribute.
