We have used RFID tags for years and are very happy with them.  I'd be glad to 
answer a few questions.

Hi,

   A library in our consortium is looking at RFID products. Are any libraries 
out there using Evergreen with a 3rd Party RFID product? If so, can you let me 
know if you would be willing to answer a few questions from this library?

Thank you,
Scott

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] The Evergreen web team

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi all,

I'm sending out a dual purpose message  to both inform the community of the
Evergreen web team list and to see if there is anyone interested in taking
a leadership role in getting the web team back on track again.

The web team was made up of a group of people who met regularly to discuss
and work on improvements for the evergreen-ils.org web site. The team also
has a mailing list where people can discuss significant changes they would
like to make to the web site. In general, people with wiki accounts or
Evergreen WordPress accounts make small changes to the web site without
checking in with the web team. However, larger changes often were posted to
the mailing list before they were made.

Details about the mailing list are available at
http://list.evergreen-ils.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/evergreen-web-team

The web team has been defunct for a few years, not due to lack of interest,
but due to limited time.

I'm sending out this message to 1) encourage people with an interest in the
web site to sign up for the web team list (instructions are at the above
URL and 2) to see if anyone would be interested in taking on the role of
web team chair so that the group can start planning for the Evergreen web
site again.

Although there are many people who help keep the web site updated, the
regular team meetings were a good way to keep people thinking of the
mission of the site and improving it to better meet the needs of Evergreen
users.

In particular, the Outreach Committee has been discussing ways to make the
site better for newcomers to the community. This is an improvement that I
think should be in the hands of the web team or, at a minimum, should be
done in conjunction with the web team.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions!

Kathy

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] [OPEN-ILS-DEV] Cannot save authority record with a 155 field

[Linda Jansova]

Hi,

The LC official file has already been updated - the link to the file is 
included in my comment at https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1800871.

Dear all,

We have updated the XSLT (with swapped lines 1084 and 1085 as Josh 
suggested) using the following command: 
http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=Evergreen.git;a=blob;f=Open-ILS/src/sql/Pg/955.data.MADS21-xsl.sql. 
Then we performed all steps that the upgrade from 2.12.6 to 3.1.4 
requires. Everything (including the reingest) has been completed 
successfully :-).


On Monday November 5th, I sent a message to MODS (MADS) mailing list 
regarding the troublesome lines in the XSLT file:


https://listserv.loc.gov/cgi-bin/wa?A2=MODS;fd3eba0f.1811

There is no response yet but I do hope that someone from the LC will 
eventually respond.

Thank you, Josh!

We shall try and go through the reingest of all records and if no 
other XSLT-related issues appear, I can get in touch with MADS 
folks through their listserv and report the error.

Hi Linda and Josh,

Great work figuring that out! We should definitely report this 
upstream to the MODS/MADS folks, but we maintain a local copy of 
the XSLT (altered to work without external file or network access 
for xml
includes) and can fix it locally.  I don't have time right now to 
jump on it, but both the file on the filesystem and the version in 
the config.xml_transform table in the db should be corrected.


Thanks!

Linda, I wonder if this is a bug in the MARCslim2MADS.xslt?  The 
error

message is



runtime error: file ./MARC21slim2MADS.xsl line 1404 element 
attribute


xsl:attribute: Cannot add attributes to an element if children 
have been already added to the element.




I agree that it looks like the problem is when the xslt is 
processing the 755 and trying to set the authority source.




I think the bug may be that when processing the 755 tag on line 
1081, the genre template is called before the setAuthority 
template.  The Genre template adds child elements, then the 
setAuthority tries to set attributes, which is where the error 
pops up.




If I swap lines 1084 and 1085 then the error goes away and both 
the genre(155) and related genre(755) show up in the transformed 
xml.




I think the way to report this to the MADS project is via the MODS
listserv, as listed on http://www.loc.gov/standards/mads/



I don’t have enough experience with these technologies to be all 
that confident that this is the issue though. I would be happy to 
report this to the MODS listserv if it seems to make sense to 
someone that is more familiar with mods/mads/xml/authorities.

Dear Josh,

Thank you for letting me know about the right XSL file!

After some more investigations I have come to a conclusion that 
it is not actually a 155 field which causes the problem but a 755 
field. If it has any value in second indicator, xsltproc fails to 
process it. When the indicator does not have any value (or, to be 
more precise, there is just a space), it is okay.


So far, it seems that we will have to get rid either of the 
values of indicators in 755s, or of the following part of the XSL 
file:


 test="(700 = 
ancestor-or-self::marc:datafield/@tag and 
ancestor-or-self::marc:datafield/@tag = 755 ) and @ind2='7'">

 
 select="marc:subfield[@code='2']"/>
