<cid:part3.04050404.03020306@esilibrary.com>, and Sage Library System of
Eastern Oregon <cid:part4.09060706.03080605@esilibrary.com> have teamed
up to sponsor the development of Calculated Proximity Adjustment in
Evergreen Open Source ILS <cid:part5.01040208.09090304@esilibrary.com>.
The development will consist of encoding policy-level information
regarding lending priority for use with hold targeting. In English,
this means libraries will be able to specify a 'lender of first resort'
for a particular library branch or system when there is an agreement
between two Evergreen-participating organizations. This functionality
already exists in FulfILLment
<cid:part6.03030703.08090901@esilibrary.com>, an open source
inter-library lending software, and now it will be side-ported to
Evergreen. Equinox Software <cid:part7.02060801.08030807@esilibrary.com>
will be leading this development project. For more information about
Calculated Proximity Adjustment, read the blog post submitted by Mike
Rylander of Equinox Software titled /Sharing (code) is caring/ on
Equinox's blog on April 16, 2012. It is anticipated the coding for this
project will be completed by the end of December and submitted to
launchpad <cid:part8.06020806.02060502@esilibrary.com> for review and
approval. Once the code has been reviewed and approved, it will be
eligible for inclusion in the next major release of Evergreen. Thank
you to Bibliomation, HSLC, MassLNC and Sage Library System of Eastern
Oregon for sponsoring this development.
