[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] acquisitions -- cancel reasons

[Shasta Brewer]

We are going through the preliminary tasks to implement acquisitions for our
next fiscal year which starts in July.  I would like to thank the people
responsible for the documentation for administrators and staff as to how
acquisitions works.  It seems to be very thorough and easy to follow.  Of
course I have a question.  We have the defaults loaded for cancel reasons.
I am accustomed to having a handful of reasons to cancel a title on order
which include osi (out of stock indefinitely), os (out of stock), op (out of
print), ppi (publication postponed indefinitely), can (cancelled), etc.
When I looked at the defaults I got a chuckle ---airline
attendants-really??? Does anyone know where this list came from (not a
criticism, I'm just curious)?  Have other libraries used it or is it just
easier to delete the entire list and start over? What do other libraries use
for cancel reasons?  Any advice that people can give which is not included
in the documentation would be greatly appreciated. We are a consortium (SC
LENDS) on release 2.1.1.  Each of our 15 library systems does their own
acquisitions for their libraries.

TIA
