 Description   

Current situation or problem:

When a library creates a cross-listed course, a new course is created. The crosslisting fields are already filled in, since the crosslisting is shared between the courses. But the Basic course information fields are empty.

For most academic libraries, when a course is crosslisted, the new crosslisting course shares the course name and description (if there is one.) It would save staff time if the course name could be copied over when a new crosslisted course is created.

In scope

  • Modification of Action > Crosslist so that the new crosslisted course has the same name as the source course
  • Modification of Action > Crosslist so that the new crosslisted course has the same description as the source course

Out of scope

  • Copying other fields in the course record; those fields tend to be different between courselistings.

Use case(s)

  • A library is creating course reserves for "Climate Change in America". The course is cross-listed between Sociology and Environmental Science. The library creates the course in sociology with the name of "Climate Change in America", the course listing of SOC250, the department of Sociology, and the number of students as 25. They then go to Action > Crosslist to create the entry for the Environmental Science. The name and description copy over; the library sets the department to "Environmental Science" and the number of students as 10.
