[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Reminder! Community Bug Squashing Day is tomorrow!

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi all!

I'm just sending along a reminder that community Bug Squashing Day is 
tomorrow! Blake Henderson at MOBIUS and I have loaded 17 bug fixes on 
Sandboxes to get them ready for testing from eight volunteers.


Bug Squashing Day provides dedicated time when people in the community 
can help with bug wrangling activities, can test and provide feedback on 
patches that have been contributed to Evergreen, can work on fixing 
bugs, and, in the case of core committers, can merge bug fixes into the 
core software. If you didn't get a chance to request a Sandbox, there 
are still many ways you can help with Bug Squashing Day activities. 
Please see the Bug Squashing wiki page for more information: 
http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=dev:bug_squashing


Blake has also loaded several patches on MOBIUS Sandboxes that do not 
yet have volunteer testers. These patches include:


fm_IDL.xml metabib::record_attr_flat contains an incorrect link - 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1497374
Add column picker option for number of holds in item context - 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1402770
Payment by billing type breakdown - 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1174498


If anyone is interested in testing code for those bugs/features, please 
follow up with Blake at bl...@mobiusconsortium.org for more information 
on how to access the Sandbox.


If you've always been interested in helping out on Bug Squashing Day but 
don't know exactly how to get started, I will be in the #evergreen IRC 
channel from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. EST and again from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. EST to 
answer any questions and to help you get started. You can also send me 
an email with questions on how to help out.


Thanks in advance to everyone who will be helping out tomorrow!

Kathy

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Batch search using 028 field data (publisher number)

[Hardy, Elaine]

I would include barcodes and record ids or TCNs in the report. Dedup the 
spreadsheet in Excel using the record ID or TCN, if you have multiple items 
attached to a title record. I wouldn’t use the 028 for deduping since you 
might have multiple record with the same 028.



Then, create a text file of the barcodes. If you have a large number, you 
may need to break the text file up into multiple files to make them easier 
to manage.



In Item status, load the text file of barcodes (making sure to uncheck Trim 
list).



Select all and then from the actions for catalogers menu, add to record 
bucket. Then you can export the files..

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Batch search using 028 field data (publisher 
number)



All,

I have an Excel spreadsheet of titles that also includes the corresponding 
028 tag (publisher number). The 028 is a valid keyword in our general 
keyword index.

What I would like to be able to do is pull the MARC records together in 
Evergreen, using the 028 data from the spreadsheet, and then export them to 
a file.

Can somebody point me in the right direction, please?

Don
