Bins and Bags and Boxes: Resource Sharing Infrastructure and its Challenges
Join representatives from large consortia to discuss how library items move from location to location, and the implications of that infrastructure for Evergreen use. We will be joined by Galen Charlton to discuss new avenues of development in Evergreen to help the software better prioritize hold transits based on distance, time and costs.
Meet the List Maker
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.
