In previous releases of Evergreen, if you had a MARC record with +a URI located at 'BR1', a search for that record at the 'SYS1' scope would +include the record in its results. The current release of Evergreen would not +include the record in its results; the scope needs to be set at the level of +'BR1' in the hierarchy or below. + +Therefore, you may want to run a SQL statement like the following, edited to +match the short names of your branches and systems, to change the located +URIs so that searches at the system level continue to return results for +located URIs: + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +UPDATE biblio.record_entry + SET marc = replace( + replace( + marc, + 'BR1', + 'SYS1' + ), + 'BR3', + 'SYS2' + ) WHERE marc LIKE 'BR1' + OR marc LIKE 'BR3' +; +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +New features +------------ + +Cataloging +~~~~~~~~~ + +Prevent bibliographic records from having attached copies +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +To enable libraries to designate specific sets of records as only for use +as electronic resources, it is possible to configure a bibliographic source +such that physical copies or MFHD records may not be attached to records +from that source. The `config.bib_source` table now includes a new Boolean +column, `can_have_copies`, that controls this behavior. If `can_have_copies` +for a given bibliographic source is `TRUE`, then the staff client will prevent +a cataloger from adding volumes or MFHD records to records belonging to that +source. + +Switch copy location name and library short name in copy editor +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +By default, the copy editor shows the library shortname ('BR1' or 'CONS') +followed by the copy location name ('Stacks', 'Reference'). A new workstation +setting, under *Admin -> Workstation Administration -> Copy Editor: Copy +Location Name First*, enables staff to change the display so that the copy +location name is displayed first, followed by the library shortname. This +may be particularly useful for libraries that have defined one set of copy +locations at the consortial level and want to enable quick keyboard navigation +to copy locations by typing just the first letters of the copy location. + +Reports +~~~~~~ + +New views for reporting sources +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +To support the creation of collection development reports, the following +reporting sources have been added: + + * 'Last Circulation or Creation Date' is a source that offers the copy ID, + the last circulation date or creation date, and the last circulation date + * 'Hold/Copy Ratio per Bib and Pickup Library' is a source that calculates + the number of holds per copy per bibliographic record, with granularity + by pickup library. diff --git a/root.txt b/root.txt index e26fa7de9c..afbd4f7b1a 100644 --- a/root.txt +++ b/root.txt @@ -1,8 +1,9 @@ Evergreen Documentation ======================= + Introduction ------------- +============ This guide was produced by the Evergreen Documentation Interest Group (DIG), consisting of numerous volunteers from many different organizations.
