[Evergreen-general] Transits

We are on version 3.6.0, and I am trying to figure out which staff member put a book into transit. I have written a report that will show me the last 4 staff members who checked an item out to patrons, but I cannot seem to figure out a way to see who scanned an item into transit. Any suggestio

[Evergreen-general] Most Circulations in Past Year

Hi, Adam, I have been trying to figure out a way to see how many times each book circulated in 2021 or, in lieu of that, in the past 12 months. I know this data is somewhere because I can see it on the Quick Summary tab when I view an item's history. There is a column that says "Total Circs -

Re: [Evergreen-general] Best Practices Question

We had a similar situation, so we created an item status of "staff access." When staff set books aside for upcoming programs, they scan them and change them to this status. Our "staff access" books are unavailable for holds and invisible to the OPAC to cut down on patron confusion. Running th

Re: [Evergreen-general] Double check-in

To avoid doubling our check in stats, the second scan is done on the Item Status screen. Any that show as still checked out are handed to a circ clerk for check in and then go back into the “quality assurance” step for another scan on the Item Status screen. This has been pretty effective for

Re: [Evergreen-general] Double check-in

For our library, it is to cut down on human error. Sometimes it happens because the clerk is not paying attention as they scan for check-in, but I think it is often a clerk getting distracted before they scan the book and then laying the book down with the scanned ones by mistake. Deanna Fraze

Re: [Evergreen-general] STAFF INITIALS-new accounts

I find it perplexing that Evergreen does not indicate which staff member input a new patron record. I can see which staff member checked an item in or out, so why can I not see who set the account up? It is incredibly useful data because it can help me spot if a staff member is struggling and

Re: [Evergreen-general] Cash register drawer integration

We use Envisionware's staff register and e-commerce solutions. It cost a chunk of money, but it works pretty well. The support has been excellent, although we had some installation issues that I blame mostly on the pandemic (we installed in Aug. 2020). Deanna Frazee Director of Library Servic

I would show them how to import a list of barcodes in Item Status. This can be a big time saver when you need to check something on several records. Deanna Frazee Director of Library Services Killeen Public Library City of Killeen, Texas 254-501-8995 (office) 254-501-7704 (fax) dfra...@killeente
