Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen for Academics
Martha, I just added a bullet point of "improve support for batch patron loading and management" and "UI for batch patron loading." Also, should I add your organization, North of Boston Library Exchange (NOBLE), to the list? If so, could I add the name of a point person?

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen for Academics
Hi Kelly, Another item to add to the list of issues is support for patron record loading. We have developed scripts to load new and update on-file records, but a user-friendly interface similar to vandelay would streamline the process. Some of our college staff would also like to manage record loading themselves. We load student records frequently. Some colleges provide one file at the beginning of each semester, but our community colleges provide weekly files for several weeks before and after the start of each semester. I load 300-400 files each year for the 10 academic institutions in our consortium. -- Martha Driscoll Systems Manager North of Boston Library Exchange Danvers, Massachusetts www.noblenet.org On 7/21/2014 10:11 AM, Kelly Drake wrote: Dear Evergreen Community, For the past year, Fenway Libraries Online (FLO), a consortium of 10 academic libraries in Boston, has been considering a migration to Evergreen. Many members of the Evergreen community met and spoke with members of FLO during this year’s annual conference in Boston. Thank you for your time, patience and information. All your comments and suggestions convinced us to continue pursuing a migration to Evergreen. Our investigation also suggested that it would be helpful to build an academic interest group within the larger Evergreen community. This group would be focused solely on academic issues as they relate to the ILS. Several existing Evergreen libraries and consortia have already expressed interest in the group and we have tentatively called it "Academics for Evergreen". To be most effective, Academics for Evergreen would be composed of any individuals or institutions that have an interest in enhancing the academic-related functions of Evergreen. Once formed, the group will identify the academic-related functions that most need attention and work to build knowledge, consensus, and resources to move moving these issues forward. So far we have identified a few of the possible issues, such as streamlined creation and management of authority records, enhanced search and browse by authority, support for multiple subject heading schema, improved staff workflows and possible improvements to course reserves integration. This list is by no means exhaustive and needs the participation of the Evergreen community to improve and refine it.

Thanks everyone for the encouraging response! Yamil, the wiki page is a great idea, we can start building out our list there.
