[Evergreen-general] 2023 New Evergreen Members for Annual Report

Hello all, I am helping to compile information for the 2023 Evergreen Community Annual Report. One of my tasks is to gather the names of as many new Evergreen libraries as possible. Some of you have already received emails from me. If not, it's not because you're not important. It's because

Re: [Evergreen-general] [External] Paperback vs. Hardcover Records

Hi Eva, Thank you for the Part suggestion. That has been suggested by some of our librarians. The problem is that C/W MARS uses a lot of Parts. We use Parts for our periodical issues which are added as items, travel guides and things with parts. We also use Parts for DVD sets that are

Hi Tiffany, Thank you for the link to your documentation. And thanks everyone for your really helpful responses! I appreciate it. Joan On Wed, Mar 20, 2024 at 1:09 PM Tiffany Little via Evergreen-general < evergreen-general@list.evergreen-ils.org> wrote: > PINES uses the same record if

Re: [Evergreen-general] [External] Paperback vs. Hardcover Records

Have you considered using the functionality for parts? I believe this would make it possible to keep one record and at the same time allow patrons to choose paperback or hardcover when placing hold Mgr. Eva Cerniňáková, Ph.D. vedoucí Knihovny Jabok Jabok - Vyšší odborná škola sociálně

Re: [Evergreen-general] [External] Paperback vs. Hardcover Records

Hi Elizabeth, When we place a meta record hold all of print that is not large print has the format book so we would need to add formats. This is a good consideration that I've been thinking about. Thank you for your help. Joan On Wed, Mar 20, 2024 at 1:06 PM Elizabeth Davis via

Re: [Evergreen-general] [External] Paperback vs. Hardcover Records

PINES uses the same record if everything else about the item is the same aside from the binding. https://pines.georgialibraries.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=cat:matching_criteria#special_cases [image: logo with link to Georgia Public Library Service website] Tiffany

Re: [Evergreen-general] Paperback vs. Hardcover Records

We also combine different editions and formats like paperback and hardcover on bib records, to reduce "duplicate" records and to make title holds simpler, and also get regular requests to separate paperbacks. However, we are also now using Aspen discovery which groups formats by default, and the

Re: [Evergreen-general] [External] Paperback vs. Hardcover Records

Hi Terran, Thank you! We're thinking separate records will need more work to make the record specifically for paperback. We are considering this. Joan On Wed, Mar 20, 2024 at 1:01 PM Terran McCanna via Evergreen-general < evergreen-general@list.evergreen-ils.org> wrote: > PINES uses separate

Re: [Evergreen-general] [External] Paperback vs. Hardcover Records

Missouri Evergreen made a change from separate records to allowing both on one record about 5 years ago. We had many of the same reasonings that Will outlined, especially duplicate records (or what seem to be duplicated to the patrons) in the catalog. We did have libraries that felt that it was

Re: [Evergreen-general] Paperback vs. Hardcover Records

We have a mix of separate records and single records. We use Aspen though and if they are in separate records in Evergreen (and they group correctly), Aspen shows the different editions to patrons who then can place a hold for a specific copy. - Millissa On Wed, Mar 20, 2024 at 9:43 AM Joan

Re: [Evergreen-general] [External] Paperback vs. Hardcover Records

Evergreen Indiana uses separate records if the paperback and hardcover are dramatically different in terms of pagination/additional contents. We use the same record is the main difference is just the cover type. Ruth Frasur Davis (she/they) Coordinator Evergreen Indiana Library Consortium

Re: [Evergreen-general] [External] Paperback vs. Hardcover Records

Hello PaILS uses the same record for hardcover and trade paper editions. We encourage a separate record for mass market paperback. I’d have to test it but would the multi-format hold work for instances where you have records for the hardcover and one for the paperback?

Re: [Evergreen-general] [External] Paperback vs. Hardcover Records

Hi Will, Thank you for your suggestions and very helpful details! Some of our libraries indicate paperback in the call number. The shelving location is an interesting thought because we can filter by the location. Joan On Wed, Mar 20, 2024 at 12:57 PM Szwagiel, Will <

Re: [Evergreen-general] [External] Paperback vs. Hardcover Records

Good afternoon Joan, Like you, our bibliographic records can contain both paperback and hardcover versions of a book. We actually encourage this, as well, as part of our cataloging best practices to try and cut down on duplicate records and to make sure that as many items as possible are

[Evergreen-general] Paperback vs. Hardcover Records

Hi, In C/W MARS a bibliographic record may contain items for paperback and for hardcover. We have had some recommendations to separate paperback items from hardcover items. This is a change on the cataloging side but also with how holds would be filled. Do any of you use separate bibliographic
