[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Course Reserves

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi Tom,

Dan Scott recently wrote a blog post on the current state of academic
reserves support in Evergreen at
http://coffeecode.net/archives/250-Current-state-of-academic-reserves-suppor
t-for-Evergreen.html. 

I can't speak to the first approach Dan mentions, but two MassLNC consortia
have been working quite a bit with Syrup. Neither of our consortia are live
on Syrup yet, but some of our libraries should be using it in a couple of
months. We've set up our test Syrup instances to integrate with Evergreen so
that we can scan item barcodes to add titles to a course reserves list;
update parameters (circ modifiers, copy locations, call numbers) from Syrup;
and allow users to log into Syrup with their Evergreen logins.

Art Rhyno from the University of Windsor, one of the co-developers of Syrup,
has been very helpful in getting us going with Syrup. Feel free to contact
me if you have any questions about what we've done.
