Hi, Chris. Finally, some discussion from the client side of things, prompting my first post to the list. Re the duplicate records: One possibility is that you're not hitting refresh enough. You may think a record hasn't been added because it's not showing and add it again. Then when the bucket gets refreshed it's in there twice. As to the purpose of buckets: Record buckets can be used to collect records that need to be merged or deleted or have holdings added. For a list of items to pull from the shelf, you want to use a copy bucket so you have shelving location and call number. Printing out the list isn't difficult. One of the bucket options is to copy the entire bucket to the clipboard. It is picked up in comma-delimited form and can be pasted into a spreadsheet for further manipulation and printing. I use copy buckets for items that need barcodes or spine labels or some special processing. It would be nice to have more batch processing options from the buckets. One option for some batch processing is to save a list of barcodes (picked up from a bucket or report) in CSV form -- no labels, no other fields, only numbers. They can then be uploaded into the "item status" window, selected as a set, and be modified as a group in the "item attributes" window. Hope this helps.

Items are added to the bucket one day, and then there are duplicates (sometimes 2, 3 or even 4) in the bucket the next day. Is anyone else having this problem? If so, what have you done to fix it? Also (please forgive my ignorance), what is the intended purpose of buckets? One of the things we wanted to do with the record bucket was to print a list of books that included call numbers, so that student workers could pull the books for a display. I cannot seem to find a way to do that anywhere in Evergreen (except maybe in a report). Thanks, Chris
