Agenda

  • Housekeeping
    • Julie's question about Paging Slips (please respond on slack)
      • Can you please provide feedback on whether this new feature request would worsen your existing processes, when pick slips (for page requests) are printed:
        New feature request =  When printing pick slips, sort first by Effective location, then by Shelving order
        Current functionality: Pick slips are sorted in the order they were entered into the system.
        Please comment in the thread. A confirmation that this will not hurt your processes (and may even improve them) is also welcome.

  • TOPICS
    • Bulk Check In
      • From Darsi: I have a topic for a future meeting: we would love the ability to bulk Checkin items.  We would use it as part of tracking materials to/from Repair. Right now we bulk edit temp locations, then one-by-one Checkin each item to put it Intransit from the library to Repair unit.  Repair unit does a Checkin on arrival so circ log shows where the item is.  When they are done, they use bulk edit to wipe out the temp location, then Checkin each item to send back Intransit to the branch, where they…. Checkin each item. Maybe we could use the Lists app to make a list of these that the branch, then Repair, then the branch could use for the bulk edit part, but it would be amazing to bulk Checkin
        • Thomas added: This is, i believe, on the roadmap for Bulk Edit..  But this is also a use case for multipart item status.
      • Check In via API: https://s3.amazonaws.com/foliodocs/api/mod-circulation/r/circulation.html#circulation_check_in_by_barcode_post
        • Does anyone have this made already in their back pocket?
    • Actual Cost Follow Up
      • Tara has a library (Spokane) who is actually interested in pursuing adding a cost field to the item record. I'll post about this on slack, but would love to get a show of hands for who else was interested, and then take this party over to the appropriate sig. (IDK, probably start with RA.)
  • Closing
    • Any actions or follow through?
