[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Academic PAC flavor

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi all,

As you may recall, the Evergreen for Academics group sent out a survey 
to the Evergreen community earlier this fall asking academic libraries 
to prioritize development needs for Evergreen that are particularly 
relevant to academic libraries.

An Academic PAC flavor rose to the top of priorities in that survey, and 
Yamil Suarez and I agreed to work with others on defining what an 
academic PAC might look like.

Yamil created a wiki page at 
http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=evergreen_for_academics:pac_academic_flavor 
where we can begin to gather these ideas together.

Based on previous discussions on this topic, some ideas for what should 
be incorporated in an academic PAC are more fields displayed on the bib 
record and less overall art. Does everyone agree that both of these are 
elements of an "academic PAC"? Are there any other features you would 
like to see in an academic PAC? Which fields need to be added  that 
aren't currently available in the default catalog?

Feel free to edit the wiki page directly with your ideas or to send them 
in response to this thread. I'll make sure any ideas raised in this 
thread end up on the wiki page.

Thanks!
Kathy
