Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Library setting: GUI: Hide these fields within the Item Attribute Editor.

It would be nice to have the holdings templates managed similarly to the new 
method of receipt template management.

Thanks, Lynn.

We are currently on 3.1, and testing 3.4, so I was puzzled by all the 
directions to do it in the Holdings Template Editor since the Default tab 
wasn't there, only in the Volume/Copy Editor when adding or editing an item. It 
wouldn't have solved my wish for a centralized process anyway.

This has to be set per workstation, there has not been anywhere I can find to 
set this globally currently.

This is also depending on which version of Evergreen you are using.  In 3.2 and 
before there was a default tab with in the Holdings Template Editor in Local 
Administration.
In 3.3 + the default tab is only there when you access the Template Editor with 
in the Holdings Editor.

I am placing a Bug report about this as we discuss this.

Hi,

I'm intrigued by this library setting. It would be useful to set this up for 
our libraries to hide fields we don't use instead of counting on library staff 
to remember to uncheck the fields in the Volume Copy Editor on the Defaults 
tab, workstation by workstation.

We had an incident where a staff member didn't hide/disable the Deposit Amount 
field and accidentally put the price of the item in that field instead of in 
the price field, then was weirded out by an error message that popped up when 
trying to circulate the item. If I could get the library setting to work, we'd 
avoid situations like this.

The instructions for this setting say " This setting may be best maintained 
with the dedicated configuration interface within the Item Attribute Editor. 
However, here it shows up as comma separated list of field identifiers to hide. 
"

The documentation Chapter 14 Settings Overview says, " Sets which fields in the 
Item Attribute Editor to hide in the staff client." and adds " This is useful 
to hide attributes that are not used.  
http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/reorg/3.1/staff_client_admin/_settings_overview.html

Where I'm lost is the text of the field identifiers to enter. I've tried column 
names from asset.copy, but have had no luck.

Also, can I set this consortium wide, or do I need to set it library by library?

I appreciate any guidance.

 This is an EXTERNAL email. Exercise caution. DO NOT open attachments or

Good afternoon,

As many people know the Hack-A-Way has been around for about nine years now and 
has been an event that has allowed developers to concentrate their efforts as a 
group.  A big part of that has been removing online barriers by letting them 
interact face to face.  Face to face is not such a great idea right now.  But 
we will keep calm and Evergreen on.

So, the Hack-A-Way this year goes online.  I'm hoping to solicit a few 
additional volunteers.   We will look at online meeting platforms and evaluate 
them to try to find the following:

1) one that allows dynamic creation of meeting rooms/streams so that users can 
gather together just as they could at physical tables at will
2) supports moderated meetings so that presentations can be done with question 
and input
3) supports recording the meetings and presentations for archival on the 
community Youtube channel
4) scheduling so that we don't have to do it manually

Then, this same group will organize the event, get it scheduled, and do 
whatever it takes to make it happen.  The requirements may change as we look at 
platforms but they are a starting point.  All of this will be with an eye 
toward learning some lessons for the future.  I hope to not only find a strong 
platform for this year but a platform that can be used to supplement the 
in-person Hack-A-Way in future years.

Anyone interested, just let me know.  We will work heavily by email but have 
some online meetings, especially to test tools.

Hello,
I have a library that is interested in setting up lockers outside their library 
for patrons to pick up items. They were wondering if there was a workflow in 
Evergreen to support this practice.

Some thoughts were to set up an another org_unit as a pick up location but it 
would result in staff having to switch locations to capture holds etc.

They need someway for the staff to be able to see what should be routed to the 
lockers and then they are thinking they will check out the items before putting 
them into a locker.

Any thoughts on some other workflow ideas?

Rogan,

You know I’m definitely one of those people that loves all things “in-person.”  
That said, with so many unknowns right now in terms of what the society 
landscape will look like in 3-6 months, I agree with the idea of having an 
online hackaway for 2020.

Rogan and all,
While it may lack some of the conviviality, having an online-focused Hack-A-Way 
would open it up to more participants which could be a great benefit.

I know the in-person meetings have tried to have an online component, but it 
sometimes seemed an afterthought, difficult to hear and follow.  We have not 
sent staff to the Hack-A-Ways but have people very interested in the 
discussions and the work in progress.  An online version could give them more 
of a seat at the table.

The online Hack-A-Way will benefit from our experience with the online 
conference this spring and we can reevaluate when and if life returns to normal.

As many know, we have had two institutions express interest in hosting the 2020 
Hack-A-Way.  I was discussing the logistics with both early this year when the 
COVID-19 situation escalated and everything went on pause.   I've been waiting 
a while to write this email hoping that as May arrived the future would be 
clear and I'd be able to say we would still go ahead with plans for the 2020 
Hack-A-Way.  It's about as clear as mud on a foggy day.  At this point in time, 
I can not ask anyone to commit to the resources necessary to ensure the hosting 
of an event in October.

It is possible that by October the situation will be remarkably better.  I 
certainly hope so.  However, there are some pretty dire forecasts for the 
current infection vectors as well as the possibility of another outbreak in the 
Fall ... just in time for the Hack-A-Way.   I also suspect that many of us are 
working for institutions that will be evaluating their travel rules in light of 
all these variables and that may complicate attendance for many.  Waiting until 
June or July for a decision, aside from the difficulty for a host, also adds a 
time based set of complications for attendees in regards to budget request 
cycles.

So, to get to the point (finally) my inclination unless I hear an uproar of 
"no, we can definitely make it!" is to cancel the in-person Hack-A-Way this 
year.

I am open to investigating online options.  They are less than ideal and the 
Hack-A-Way was intended to avoid those same barriers that an online event 
causes but sometimes we just have to keep calm and Evergreen on.  I will 
investigate options for collaboration software such as GoTo Meeting or Zoom 
that may allow for both the whole group to meet and break out into smaller 
interest groups.  This could also be useful to supplement the future in-person 
events.

So, I welcome feedback, including from those who think we may have a means to 
make this happen.  But, at this point I am going to proceed with creating plans 
to take things online this year and will be reaching out to others in the next 
few months both for feedback and with a few supplications for assistance.

Hope everyone is well,

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Holds / Circulation question

Stuart,

For reporting, it might not always be as cut and dry as all that.  Depending on 
what source you’re using, the label might be different.  And it might be used 
in different places and mean different things there.  It would be good to set 
up a test where you already know the answer to make sure you’ve picked the 
right filters for your report.

Thanks, Rogan,

Starting to get clearer.

The main reason for the questions was reporting. If a hold is transitted to 
another library and a circ report is run. If I filter by Circulation Library of 
the receiving branch, who gets the circ count or would I be better off using 
Checkout Library in the report?

Sorry, my brain is fuddled today.

Thanks

Hi Stuart,

To echo Anna, the owning library is an attibute of the volume / call number 
while the circulating library of the item is going to be the branch the item 
actually lives at.  If you use floating collections this can change without 
staff intervention but otherwise someone would have to change the circulating 
library.  This distinction between circulating and owning library is often 
confusing as the owning library trait doesn't have a lot of obvious impact for 
end users so it seems redundant and confusing.  It's not actually redundant but 
that's a whole other story, it certainly is confusing to many as you're finding 
it.

The neither has nothing to do with the bib other than the volume connects to it 
but it in part has an owning library so that owning attributes don't have to be 
associated with the bib in a consortium where bibs are shared.

So I am presuming then that the Owning library is the one that owns the bib 
record, for the sake of a better term and the circulating library is the one 
that owns the copy. The checkout library is the one that circulates the copy?

Our owning library is set to BCL and the circulating libraries are set to the 
individual branches, BCL-BEA, BCL-BLU, etc…

Rogan and all,

The screenshot below is what I mean. We have libraries in our consortium that 
do this at this time and I'm wondering if it will cause issues. It certainly 
seems like it would cause statistical issues, but maybe some others as well?

Hi Kate,

If I'm undestanding your question correctly it's not possible.  The circulating 
library is an item attribute and requires an org unit id or it can't save the

call number attribute and has the same restriciton to not allow null values.

Hi

This may sound a simple question to some, but my brain seems unwilling to 
compute!

So if a book that has been placed on hold that has a Circulating Library of 
‘LibraryA’ is then transitted to ‘LibraryB’ where the hold is being fulfilled. 
Does the circulating library temporarily change to ‘LibraryB’ so that library 
gets the circulation? I’m thinking of circ reports now. Or would it be better 
to use Checkout Library instead to capture all circulations at ‘LibraryB’

Hopes this makes sense to someone as I am not quite understanding it.

Thanks
Much

Hi



We are a library system that is part of a consortium (SCLENDS) and at the 
moment the only system that is using auto-renewal and this is what we have 
found so far.



1.   The three-day notice will still go out reminding patrons there 
books are due. (Our patrons see this as just a reminder)

2.   Auto-renewal happens 1 day before the books are due and the 
appropriate auto-renewal notice goes out then.

3.   An item won’t auto-renew if one of the following is true.

a.   The item is required for a hold

b.   Patrons' account has expired while they had the item checked 
out

c.Fines have reached the maximum allowed

d.   Maximum auto-renewals have been reached.

4.   The auto-renewal notice will give a reason if the process 
failed referencing those case for example mentioned above.

5.   Let's say you pick a start date of 1st of December then 
anything that is checked out before this date will NOT auto-renew. Anything 
checked out on or after this date WILL. Eventually, of course, all items will 
auto-renew, we worked out that should take about 9 weeks from the start date.

6.   We decided to have the same amount of auto-renewals as hard 
renewals to avoid less confusion for the patrons.

7.   If you have any items that checkout for less than 8 hours and 
have 0 renewals this can confusing, but Equinox found a workaround for us.

8.   If a patron from say Beaufort (BCL) comes to Calhoun and 
checks out a book at one of your libraries, that book will auto-renew also. On 
the other hand, if you transit an item to an SCLENDS member who is not doing 
auto-renewals that item will not auto-renew.



If you have any questions, please let me know.
