[CODE4LIB] ILS & Warehouse/Stock management software

[Eoghan Ó Carragáin]

Hi,
Is anyone using warehouse/stock/inventory management software in addition to
their ILS to manage the physical location, movement, growth of their
material?

We have various onsite and offsite, closed-access shelving areas & we are in
the process of reorganising. The team managing this reorganisation would
like to be able to link items in a granular way to physical location (bays,
shelves etc) & to do things like relate material to the schematic drawings
of the shelving locations, print labels for shelves, etc.

We have lots of different, non-dewey, call-number sequences, which makes it
difficult to derive location information by call-number. Item records in our
ILS have location information but it is at a pretty high level (e.g. Main
Building). This could be made more granular, but the ILS seems to be geared
more towards stack request and circulation rather than the stock-management
features that are being looked for. We don't have RFID at present.

Any thoughts/pointers much appreciated.

Thanks,
Eoghan

Hi Daniel,

The Archivists & Archives List used to receive posts from a woman promoting
her books and articles on libraries using SharePoint.  Her name is Lorette
Weldon .  She might be able to help.

[Naomi Dushay]

What I should have said at my talk:  this approach to relevancy  
testing leaves a lot of room for improvement.   What else is out there?

- instruction to a lay-person on how and why to write cucumber  
scenarios for search feedback.

- the four different types of indexing / search result testing.
- more on those four approaches
- how I put our call number searching requirements into cucumber tests  
and was able to tweak the field analysis to meet the requirements
