GREAT idea, Ben. (I was waiting for you to chime in.) And I already have a group made that includes all the Children's locations! I'm sure I'll have more questions when I actually dive into this project, but this is great help already. Thanks! - Holly -Original Message- From: open-ils-

For whatever it's worth, we make use of the custom filter groups and just specify a filter group like: filter_group_entry(4) Where 4 is the filter group that we set aside for KPAC entries. Then we update the locations(x, y, z) in that filter group using the filter editor in the staff client. Thi

Holly, I think it's a great question, and I'd love to know if that works when you try it out! Another thing I was mulling over was that it would be fun to make another version of the KPAC just for teens with its own graphics and just including audience type c&d materials. (In my copious spare

Hmm... I could be wrong (and I'm very tired), but I would guess that with the way the global filter tag is set up in the kpac.xml file, that you could put any sort of defined filter in there. It is configured for "audience(a,b,c,d,j)" and that is easy to modify, but my guess is you could replace

Back at work, processing all the notes I took at the conference... Hooray for inspiration! I understand that the KPAC is set up to filter on Target Audience (in the 008), which is wonderfully specific but causes problems when MARC records aren't complete (the record won't be included in search

Galen, I was deliberately vague in my earlier email, and hope you will understand if I continue to be :) I think it is fine to proceed with a separation mindset and see how it turns out. Thanks, Dan Daniel Wells Library Programmer/Analyst Hekman Library, Calvin College 616.526.7133 -Origi

Every system has a few. "The Closers" is fantastic. For our users, I plan on recommending that the staff members that have trouble switching back and forth and that are intimidated by the new interface should just stick with the existing staff client when they are busy and practice using the web

Late weighing in, and weighing in with little technical know-how. It's my feelings that any kind of "in-between" product is really just going to waste time and resources that could be going into building the web client. I suspect that's already been said, but here's another +1 On Mon, Apr 7, 20
