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
