[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] combining OPAC lists and more

[Tina Ji (Project Sitka)]

Hi Lise,

Record bucket and My List are essentially the same thing, marked with  
btype of bookbag and staff_client respectively. I found it was  
possible to view a My List on the staff client in the same way as  
retrieving a shared bucket (you need to know the id). So a My List can  
be used as a record bucket. Some of our libraries have been using it  
since long time ago on older versions. We're on 2.6 now. I still can  
view a My List via id on Record Bucket interface and add new records  
into it.

I can park some records from one record bucket to the Pending area,  
retrieve a My List via id, and add the pending records to it. It's not  
exactly uploading, but moving the records by batch from one bucket to  
another.

I hope it helps you.
