Located URI search scope
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Recognizing that electronic resources are often licensed for an entire library
system rather than just a single library, the search scope for located URIs has
changed to match from the highest point in the hierarchy down, rather than from
the bottom up. 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.
