Hi Tessa, I'm sure you'll get other replies with good insights. I just wanted to say that I've been there! I think, in the moment, that now that I figured it out it's so plainly obvious that I will remember how to do it forever more... and then promptly forget it and have to start from zero the next time I have to do the thing. One tip: you create a serials record exactly like you would a book, but in order to get the right 008 fields to appear you make BLvl and 's'. I think you might have to save and reload the record for the new fields to appear. Once you've got the bones in place, you can save a serials template for future new additions to your collection.

New serial subscription
by Tessa Johnson 15 Apr '25

15 Apr '25

Hey all, I'm hoping you can help me with a quick question. I need to add a new serial to our collection. I found the Serials Module documentation<https://docs.evergreen-ils.org/docs/latest/serials/C-serials_workflow.html>, but it seems to be missing the first step. It says to "go to a serials record in the catalog, and click on Serials→Manage Subscriptions." This works to add a new subscription to an existing record, but I can't figure out how to create the bibliographic record in the first place. I tried using the Z39.50 import, but none of my searches resulted in existing records to import. I tried creating a new MARC record, but that seems to be book focused, not for serials. What am I missing? (The part that's driving me crazy is that I DID figure it out a few weeks ago and added a new magazine subscription to the collection, but I forgot how and cannot figure it out again! 😣) Thanks, Tessa -------------------------------- Tessa Johnson (she/her) Collection Development & Systems Manager Howe Library www.thehowe.org<http://www.thehowe.org/> Currently Reading<https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_destination/9480503?utm_medi…> [Book Cover]<https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_destination/9480503?utm_medi…> [Goodreads Logo] <https://www.goodreads.com/?utm_medium=gr_logo&utm_source=email_signature> Written correspondence to or from the Town of Hanover, its officials, and employees regarding town business is a governmental document, and is generally subject to public disclosure under NH RSA 91-A, the Right to Know Law.

Hoopla loading
by Mary Llewellyn 11 Apr '25

11 Apr '25

Hi all, Does anyone load Hoopla records to their catalog? It looks like we'll be doing that for a while, but I've run into a problem loading the records via the client. We just made a change with Hoopla in the 856 tag configuration. Instead of one URL with a string of $9 subfields with all the subscribing libraries, we decided to have multiple 856s, one for each library. Example: =856 40$uhttps:// www.hoopladigital.com/title/16127217?utm_source=MARC&Lid=hh2837$yInstantly available on hoopla. Click here to access.$9BOLTON =856 40$uhttps:// www.hoopladigital.com/title/16127217?utm_source=MARC&Lid=hh2837$yInstantly available on hoopla. Click here to access.$9NAUGTK =856 40$uhttps:// www.hoopladigital.com/title/16127217?utm_source=MARC&Lid=hh2837$yInstantly available on hoopla. Click here to access.$9KENT =856 40$uhttps:// www.hoopladigital.com/title/16127217?utm_source=MARC&Lid=hh2837$yInstantly available on hoopla.

Click here to access.$9KLWRTH =856 40$uhttps:// www.hoopladigital.com/title/16127217?utm_source=MARC&Lid=hh2837$yInstantly available on hoopla. Click here to access.$9BRGWTR They don't load, however, and I wonder if it's because 856$u is identical on each line. (we've been changing $x to $y to allow the message to display. It's never been a problem.) I was very much looking forward to the new format, thinking it will make management much easier as libraries add and drop their subscriptions. This recent setback has been disheartening. We don't have any plans to move to Aspen. Any advice will be appreciated.

Bugs to add heat to for 3.14
by Simone Rauscher 03 Apr '25

03 Apr '25

Hi everyone, Just sharing a couple cataloguing-related bugs for Evergreen 3.14 that I think could use a little more heat: 1. Bib merging from record buckets no longer takes you to final lead record after clicking "merge": https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2098712 2. Angular record buckets missing important bib information: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2095021 3. Add to bucket modal doesn't display shared buckets: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2083859 4. Inline catalog search in 3.14 does not function well: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2095113 (I'm missing the record query function in buckets!) Thanks!
