Notes

Re-indexing Update

• Juniper is now fully indexed, and ES searches should go to all inventory records.
• May have broken the snapshot environment but should be resolved shortly.
• Reacting to changes that are being made to Kafka configuration.

Primary Contributor Search

• Searching by primary contributor only.
• Filtering by primary contributor is a Boolean search.
• In Insomnia: Contributors = “Steinbeck, John, 1902-1968” AND contributors.primary = true

Search by All Inventory Records Properties

• This is doable and have created a proof of concept. 
• Did not want to make as part of already existing keyword search as performance will be impacted.
• mod-search / Image Added MSEARCH-168
• Next spring
• Difficult to determine the relevancy; probably not able to rely on return ranking
• Once they have findings will meet and discuss.

Review

• Identifiers (all) search for holdings
  • Functionality added in backend at this point. In Insomnia:
    • holdingIdentifiers all “formerId”
    • holdingIdentifiers all “h000000000009”

• Identifiers (all) search of items
  • itemIdentifiers all “formerItem*”
  • itemIdentifiers all “it115” -- (HRID)
  • itemIdentifiers all “AN7766” -- (Accession #)

Circulation notes search for items

• circulationNotes.note all “*”
• Notes in the item record
• Example in Bugfest-Juniper:
  • Inventory
  • Location UC/HP/SPCL/Rosen
  • 100 Contemporary American Jewish painters and sculptors
  • Open item > edit > scroll down > Add check in / check out note
  • Choose Type: “Check in note” or “Check out note”
• All notes search should also include circulation notes whether public or staff.
• itemPublicNotes all “*” – If circulation note is not marked as staff only should it be included in public notes?
  • Yes, because it is a type of public note.
  • Will also be consistent.
• Would you ever search by circulation notes only?
  • Yes, verifying consistency.
• Staff notes are being searched as part of all notes. Do not have a search by staff notes only.
  • Can add if strong requirement, but discussed previously and do not currently have use case.

Use Cases Overview (29 min. after).

• Search by contributor and title.
  • Already implemented.
  • Insomnia
    • title all “Tree grows” AND contributors all smith
    • 7 instances; in all Betty Smith is the contributor and the title is Tree Grows in Brooklyn
• Search by primary contributor and title.

Existing Pain Points: Call Number Browse (38 min. after)

• Currently a huge pain point (Cornell)
• Catalogers need to browse with every title that is cataloged to verify that the assigned call numbers works.
• Need to browse all cataloged materials that have been assigned a call number, seeing what comes before and after.
• Cannot currently present as browse list
• Want to be able to do a call number search and a call number browse
  • If searching something like PG 637. I88O, only want anything with that exact call number to appear.
  • If browsing want to see what comes before it and what comes after it, in context.
• Possible to have an extra "browse button" ? 
  • Browse on not just call numbers, but names, etc.
• Cornell’s site has call number search and call number browse.
  • https://newcatalog.library.cornell.edu/
  • Can keep going forward and backward.
  • Would be fine with it not being infinite; can’t imagine someone searching something in PG1 if they wanted something in PG2.
• In staff search would not want to have to go to record and click to browse, would just want to perform a browse.
• May want to gray out the button when it is not relevant to the search.
  • Define what properties would like to be browsable
• FOLIO supports call number shelf order for Library of Congress.
• Shelving order element used to sort, but not what would be wanted to search / enter for browse.
• effectiveShelvingOrder is normalized so that it will sort correctly; has extra characters to make sure things are in the correct order. Want to display the actual call number.

From Charlotte Whitt to Everyone:  09:53 AM

The work we did within UXPROD-2002

• For e.g.:
  • Effective call number string : PG637.S28 1991 c.1
  • Shelving Order: PG 3637 S28 41991 C 11 – (If you have a list and sort, this allows sorting in the proper order)
• When you input a call number, FOLIO creates a normalized call number for it.

From Mark Arnold to Everyone:  09:56 AM

query=effectiveShelvingOrder>="QA*" and effectiveShelvingOrder<"QB*" &limit=1000

• Will return to this next time.

If you have other pain points, please free to add them to the list or mention in Slack.

September 6 is Labor Day in the US. Will send a survey in Slack for best day to meet next.
