Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen ahhhhh
Hi Mary, I agree it would be simpler to delete the empty volume records but in our system I was told the empty record was kept so that in the event a replacement copy was purchased the MARC record would already be in place. I don't know if this answers your question or not. But I and my staff do find it a bit frustrating when we have to tell a patron that we really don't have a copy for them to put on hold of that item.

At least that way they wouldn't annoy us a second time.

It came from a library manager who was complaining about search results in the Evergreen catalog. In PINES, we have lots of empty volume records (records with no copies attached) and they tend to pop up on the top of results when one does a search. Frontline staff find this very frustrating and like to vent to me about it. Is there anything that I can do in response besides tilt my head and look sympathetic? Is there a report I could run to find these empty volume records -- or SQL command line or something? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Question about moving hold positions
Thanks Lise and Lynn. I will try that but will it work on items that have already been captured?

You can make the Hold Notes print when you print the Hold Receipt. This is how we usually handle multiple disc/ volumes/series, when they come in wanting the entire series. A word of warning, in that the hold does count toward the total number of holds a patron can have.

If her hold is already in the queue, as soon as it's reactivated, she'll back in position and won't have to start at the bottom.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Holds placed prior to status change (Hardy, Elaine)
Hi Elaine, Here at the Mary Ann Mongan Branch of the Kenton County Public Library, I have staff to run both missing and trace lists weekly so that we can search the shelves for the items. Also the staff members in both the Adult Services Department and the Circulation Department send items that are on the pull list to trace after 3 days. This allows us to find another copy if need be to fill the hold request and to prevent staff from looking constantly for the same items every day. Hope this helps, Maria Maria Parker Circulation Supervisor Mary Ann Mongan Branch 502 Scott Boulevard Covington, KY 41011 Telephone: 859-962-4060 ext. 4075 Fax :859-261-2676 Email: maria.par...@kentonlibrary.org -Original Message- From: open-ils-general-boun...@list.georgialibraries.org [mailto:open-ils-general-boun...@list.georgialibraries.org] On Behalf Of McCanna, Terran Sent: Friday, February 28, 2014 9:40 AM To: Evergreen Discussion Group Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Holds placed prior to status change (Hardy, Elaine) Hi Deanna, Our libraries typically run reports to get lists of Missing items to check the shelves for them on a regular basis. It's a much more reliable and consistent way of recovering those items that have mysteriously reappeared, plus it helps you get a broad overview of how many items are missing overall and what subject areas they cover for collection maintenance and ordering.

If a staff person should place a hold for the patron without noticing there are no items listed beneath the record in the staff client view of the OPAC, the hold will show up on the pull list and we will go look for it again. Sometimes books mysteriously reappear after traveling through space and time, so looking again is a good thing. If we still can't find it we will notify the patron that the item is missing and see if they want us to try ILL. Michele Can you give me a description of what the checkin modifier retarget local holds does? Does it mean whenever you check in an item it checks to see if there are any local holds that item can fill? What if the item belongs to another branch, and their patrons have holds on it as well? I am not referring to new items here, as we are not the branch that catalogs or enters new items in the system, and we don't have any age limitations on holds. And yes - when I went to admin - server administration - copy statuses and checked in the box for holdable under the statuses missing and trace old holds placed prior to the status change were triggered on check in.
