[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Announcing Development of Calculated Proximity Adjustment in Evergreen

[Suzannah]

Bibliomation <cid:part1.04070209.05000904 at esilibrary.com>, HSLC 
<cid:part2.03080506.01080107 at esilibrary.com>, MassLNC 
<cid:part3.04050404.03020306 at esilibrary.com>, and Sage Library System of 
Eastern Oregon <cid:part4.09060706.03080605 at esilibrary.com> have teamed 
up to sponsor the development of Calculated Proximity Adjustment in 
Evergreen Open Source ILS <cid:part5.01040208.09090304 at esilibrary.com>.  
The development will consist of encoding policy-level information 
regarding lending priority for use with hold targeting.  In English, 
this means libraries will be able to specify a 'lender of first resort' 
for a particular library branch or system when there is an agreement 
between two Evergreen-participating organizations.  This functionality 
already exists in FulfILLment 
<cid:part6.03030703.08090901 at esilibrary.com>, an open source 
inter-library lending software, and now it will be side-ported to 
Evergreen. Equinox Software <cid:part7.02060801.08030807 at esilibrary.com> 
will be leading this development project.  For more information about 
Calculated Proximity Adjustment, read the blog post submitted by Mike 
Rylander of Equinox Software titled /Sharing (code) is caring/ on 
Equinox's blog on April 16, 2012.  It is anticipated the coding for this 
project will be completed by the end of December and submitted to 
launchpad <cid:part8.06020806.02060502 at esilibrary.com> for review and 
approval. Once the code has been reviewed and approved, it will be 
eligible for inclusion in the next major release of Evergreen.  Thank 
you to Bibliomation, HSLC, MassLNC and Sage Library System of Eastern 
Oregon for sponsoring this development.


Regards,
Suzannah
