The List Maker is a homegrown tool that NOBLE libraries use to make all kinds of lists of bibliographic and item records, based on searches performed directly in the List Maker or starting with lists of barcodes, record IDs, or ISBNs, and also works titles selected in the catalog and added to baskets and buckets. The List Maker provides several types of output: HTML and JSON for adding to websites; Excel or CSV for collection analysis; and weeding, inventory and shelf checking items with Missing, Lost and other statues. It also creates and interacts with record and item buckets and carousels. Lists can be run once or set to run automatically on a regular schedule. It’s easy to use and popular with a wide variety of staff for all sorts of projects.
Series, Serials, Pieces and Parts
How does your library handle different types of serials? Do you always use serial records or do you use monograph records — there are pros and cons of each approach. Do you use parts to manage sets that individual libraries circulate differently? Hear two different approaches from to these issues from NOBLE and C/W MARS.
Data, Data, Everywhere
Protecting the right to privacy and confidentiality in library use is a bedrock principle of the library profession. As the administrators of our libraries’ integrated library systems, we are the gatekeepers of the software that contain a great deal of personally identifiable information on our users. What our some policies and best practices we can implement to ensure that right to privacy is protected? In this workshop, we will look at steps libraries and consortia can take to conduct a privacy audit, specifically against our Evergreen system and catalog. This is a participatory workshop where attendees will review recommended privacy guidelines against the policies and practices used in their organizations. This session will also include the building of a wishlist of Evergreen enhancements that would better support the privacy of our users.
