Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] County by Dewey Block Report

[Don McMorris]

The "Classic Item List" has an item called "Dewy Tens" and "Dewy
Hundreds" (in the fm_IDL.xml, the internal name is 'dewey_block_tens'
and 'dewey_block_hundreds' - the label is just missing the second
'e').  Displaying one of these, as well as Copy ID (field transform to
'Count Distinct') should get what you want.  Of course, filter however
you please - circ Lib->Organizational Unit ID (In List), deleted (as
FALSE) may be good ideas.

Hope this helps!

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] installation question

[Jesse Ephraim]

Jason;

Thanks much!  I finally just wiped everything and re-installed Debian, so I 
could watch the installation of OpenSRF and Evergreen more carefully.

During the installation process of OpenSRF or Evergreen, at what point is 
JSON.pm put into /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/OpenSRF/Utils?  I kept watching 
for it during the OpenSRF installation, but never saw it appear.

Thanks!

Hrmm, I googled for a subset of this error and found these:

Don't know if any of this will help.  You may also want to try wiping
the mnesia database that ejabberd uses, but I don't know how to do
that (dpkg --purge ejabberd and then re-install is one sledge-hammer
approach)

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Issue with Closed Stacks and reference booksfor Reading Room and not lending

[Hardy, Elaine]

Since Mike and Jason have commented, I think George is correct and the alert 
message is the best way for you to handle this, at least until 1.6.1. You can 
globally add the alert message to your records using the item status (F5) 
interface -- then actions for catalogers -- edit item attributes. You can 
upload txt files of barcodes into the interface, so using it is quicker than 
the copy buckets. In PINES, there is a limit of around 200 barcodes that can be 
in the file. I don't know if this is a limit that can be changed or if it is 
PINES specific for some reason, someone else may know. 

Let me know if you decide to add the alert message and need further 
instructions on using the global editing. I will warn you to make sure the trim 
list option in item status is unchecked and that you test with a small file. 
You cannot abort the import once it starts and would have to acknowledge an 
error for each entry, so make sure your barcodes are valid and that the file is 
formatted correctly before you import a large file.

Make them circulating so they will be holdable but don’t check them out to 
patron. Also attach an alert message: "Non-circulating/Reading Room Use 
Only" in case a staff member does attempt to check it out to a patron. Would 
that work?

The holds mechanism in Evergreen is designed specifically to
facilitate circulation transactions, so the workflow you want isn't
possible directly using holds, but there is another option (more on
that further down).

RIght, because holds in Evergreen that can't lead to a circulation (no
copy is allowed to circulate) don't make sense to the system.

That, as Jason mentioned, is just a flag that is available for use in
policy, such as "these don't circulate".

George Tuttle mentioned item alert messages, and that is one way --
probably the best way in 1.6.0.x.

He also alluded to reserve items.  Evergreen doesn't currently have
academic reserves natively, but 1.6.1 will introduce Booking
Reservations, and this may be a good alternative for you.  Booking
Reservations differs from holds in that 1) the item does not have to
be cataloged (though your closed-stacks items are), 2) the item does
not have to be holdable and 3) it is pre-scheduled for a specific
checkout (or, hand-out, in your case) and return time.  That last part
is the biggest functional difference -- the patron has to request a
time slot, instead of simply waiting for the item to show up.  This
may actually be an advantage, though.  If, for instance, you have
limited reading room space, you would be able to schedule Booking
Reservations so that you don't run out of room at any given time.

But, of course, that will require 1.6.1, which is not released yet but
is getting close.
