Re: [Evergreen-general] Feature idea for patrons accounts; Personalized Carousels

[Johnathon Redmon via Evergreen-general]

I agree with once third party companies get involved, that could become a
privacy issue. Especially if patrons can't opt out easily. Goodreads is
probably a good compromise if third parties would have to be involved to do
it.

[Evergreen-general] 3.13 Release Schedule Update

[Andrea Buntz Neiman via Evergreen-general]

Hello community!

On behalf of the release team, I’d like to let you know about some updates
to the release schedule for 3.13

There are a number of excellent pullrequested and signed off features still
needing some attention, so the release team is changing Feature Slush
to *Friday,
May 3rd *in order to take advantage of collaboration time at the conference
Hackfest. The full updated schedule can be seen on the roadmap page here:
https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=faqs:evergreen_roadmap#release_schedule

Our thought here is to give committers a bit more time to test and merge,
and developers a bit more time to get those last couple features updated.
With your help, we can make 3.13 a feature-packed release. To that end,
there’s things that are in need of some community testing and/or merging.
Consider this our call to action!

These features are ready for the last step (i.e., they are signed off and
need committer testing / merging):

- Add Library Groups to Angular Staff Catalog
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1949109
- Angular staff catalog copy location group filtering support
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1861701
- Angular staff client navbar is not responsive
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1945498
- Omnibus branch for cataloging permissions and hold cancel
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2061136

Here’s some features that are pullrequested, and need testing and signoff:

- Rename Any Parts label https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1902120
- eg-grid: Accessibility with tables that aren't really tables
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1615781
- Skip link for staff interfaces
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2017034
- Eresource click tracking https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1895695
- Circ policies angularization
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1855781
- Reports interface port to Angular
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1993823
- Reports security improvements
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2043142

Both Reports branches are available on an Equinox test server at
https://butternut.evergreencatalog.com/eg/staff/home running Concerto data,
with an admin login of admin / demo123.

Equinox will be putting out new or updated branches (as well as community
test servers) for the following by the end of this week:

- Ordering and Z39.50 port to Angular (Sprint A)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2039609
- Claims and invoices interfaces port to Angular (Sprint B)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2006970
- MARC editor port to Angular
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2006969

Other community test environments are welcome!

Re: [Evergreen-general] Feature idea for patrons accounts; Personalized Carousels

[Frasur, Ruth via Evergreen-general]

In Aspen, there is a way to sort of do this, but it requires the use of reviews 
and a few other things.  More investigation would be necessary.  (From one 
EG-Indiana person to another).

 This is an EXTERNAL email. Exercise caution. DO NOT open attachments or 
click links from unknown senders or unexpected email. 

I feel fairly certain this would be a pretty massive project to come up with a 
way to determine recommendations and may or may not be worth the time and 
development expense since there are third party vendors that already do similar 
things as part of their core business. Syndetics and NoveList added content 
will both provide recommendations at the title or author level (ie, you look up 
a book you liked and it will recommend others that are available to you through 
the library), and then there are other companies that can generate 
recommendations based on personal reading history - that is going to depend on 
providing them with a certain amount of user data though, and that gets really 
tricky with patron confidentiality.

Of course, users can also download their reading history as a CSV file and 
upload it to GoodReads themselves if they are somewhat savvy - this could 
probably made easier with a relatively small development project to allow 
patrons to export their booklist in a format that was specifically compatible 
to goodreads so they wouldn't have to do any editing to it (unless they wanted 
to) after they downloaded it.

[Evergreen-general] Feature idea for patrons accounts; Personalized Carousels

[Johnathon Redmon via Evergreen-general]

I'm a cataloger, not a programmer so I don't know how reasonable (or
possible) this is. But ever since I first heard about the idea of
carousels, I've dreamed of being able to log into my patron account and
have a netflix style recommendation carousel hooked on to an algorithm that
suggests items based on the 1xx, 6xx and 7xx marc fields of items you've
recently checked out. What would be the possibility of such a feature, and
what kind of hurdles would have to be jumped to do this?
