Batches, Baskets, Buckets, Bookbags, and Carousels (slides)
Overview of the different ways to work with batches of items and bibs in Evergreen, including item status batches, item and record buckets, My Lists/Bookbags, and carousels with lots of examples and tips and tricks. New this year: Release 3.7 brought a great feature to the Angular staff catalog — with one click you can add all the records (up to 1000) that match a search to a Basket (and then to a Record Bucket) — a much easier alternative to the Record Bucket Query!
Presenter: Elizabeth Thomsen, Member Services Manager, NOBLE: North of Boston Library Exchange
Speed Up Receiving with Automated Shipment Notifications (Slides)
Some acquisitions vendors provide Automated Shipment Notification (ASN) messages via EDI to inform libraries of shipped items. These messages tell us what orders are arriving and how many items we should expect. We can use this information to present shipment information to staff and automate receiving batches of items with the simple scan of a barcode. King County Library System recently implemented ASN. For this presentation, I’ll do a brief review of what ASN is and how it works, what the receiving interface looks like, and how the process has impacted receiving at King County Library System.
Presenters: Bill Erickson, Software Development Engineer, King County Library System; Paula Allen, Section Supervisor, King County Library System
