Sorry for the confusion about the Bill & Fine enhancement document.
I have NOT sent it out because it's still being reviewed by the
Rewrite Group.

So far I've sent the following to the people on the circ1 and
notcirc1 mailling lists and to NOTIS-L*;
      1.  Recalls/Holds
      2.  Batch Circulation (LB610)
      3.  Patron Charges Index (HAS Command)
      4.  Course Reserve Index and OPAC
      5.  Charge/Discharge Enhancements
      6.  Patron Record Enhancements
*  the charge/discharge enhancement document may not have been sent
   to NOTIS-L.

If you missed one of these, let me know and I'll send it to you.
The Bill & Fine document will follow when ready for distribution.

Subject:      Number of subj. headings displayed in OPAC

Some of our bib. records have up to 11 headings, probably more in some
cases.  In the OPAC (5.0.1) the most I've found displayed is 9 headings.
That was the record with 11 headings, and no author showing in the OPAC
.

I've checked lsys and the documentation and have yet to come up with
any special reason that the OPAC is cutting off our subject headings.
Any previous experience with this.  We use mainly LC subj. heads and
also 690 for our local headings in Spanish.  The 690's usually get
cut as they are the last to appear in the MARC record.

Thank you. Answer directly if you like.  RE_SMITH@upr1.upr.clu.edu.

I would appreciate any information on text retrieval systems for a PC
environment.  We are trying to develop an information system with GUI access
on a 386 or 486 platform.  Key word searches are critical for the success
of this project.  We want to put general university information on this
system so that the most current information is available without massive
printing and, also, so the university community will have one source for
the information.  Ease of use for the user is important.


Thanks in advance.

Subject:      Project Administration

Does anyone know of an inexpensive, simple,project time-keeping and
billing system?

I would prefer something running on a micro and networked, although
the latter requirement is not mandatory. We are in an IBM PS/2, NOVELL
environment.

I'd like to find a system that would enable programmers to report their time
electronically and which has an accompanying table of accounts for general
billing of time to clients. It is not necessary for the system to create
actual bills, but merely to accumulate charges.

If a homegrown system is available and you might be willing to share it,
please contact me. Thanks very much.

Timeslips by Timeslips, Inc. can handle time and billing by user and
project type. I use it on the Mac, but a PC version is available. The
product seems pretty sophisticated (meaning I don't use all it's
features), but is not overly hard to learn. It comes in two parts: the
time tracker and the report writer. It is networkable.

Byte Magazine did an excellent review of text retrieval packages in
their June 1992 issue (Managing Infoglut). One article that is particularly
interesting is "Searching for Common Threads". It covers text retrieval
packages in good detail. We have had experience with mini/mainframe based
packages and I feel the bottom line (as mentioned) is the user interface.
Right now we're taking a hard look at Folio Views.

Subject:      Printers for Laser Transcripts

Indiana University of Pennsylvania is planning to print laser transcripts.  We
are currently trying to decide which laser printers to purchase to do the job.
The printers would be connected to a DEC VAXcluster.  One would be used for
large batch jobs and would be located at the central Computer Center site and
the other would be used on-line in the Registrar's Office.  Our student
information is in an ADABAS database.  Our programs to create the output file
will be written in NATURAL.  We are interested in hearing from any DEC site
that prints laser transcripts to find out:

   1.  What printers do you use?
   2.  Are you using Postscript to do special formating?
   3.  Do you print a signature on the form?  If so, what procedure do
       you use to do this?
   4.  What suggestions can you offer to help us on this project.

Any information or comments on this topic will be appreciated.

Subject: Transfer Credits-another question
Date: 14 Aug 92 18:50:00 GMT
Comments: Gated by NETNEWS@AUVM.AMERICAN.EDU


 At the University of Oklahoma, we have had a transfer evaluation system for
US colleges since 1985. We now want to include work from non-US institutions.
If anyone has ideas they would be willing to share, reply either to the list
or directly to me and I will summarize the answers.  We are especially inter-
ested in courses that do not have the traditional semester/department/course
pattern.

 In answer to the question about quarter to semester conversion, we equate
each transfer course individually but the sum of the sequence totals the
sum of the semester sequence.  The best example is English.
      Transfer course              OU equivalent

1.    First quarter English        First semester for 2 of the 3 hours

2.    Second quarter English       First semester for 1 of the 3 hours
                                   Second semester for 1 of the 3 hours

3.    Third quarter English        Second semester for 2 of the 3 hours

 This is the easiest example but it is the general idea of how the equating
works.

Virginia Tech is in the process of reviewing policies and procedures for

register vehicles for this permit.   We are now exploring  the  idea  of
charging for the parking permit but NOT registering vehicles.  This will
cut down on the work load required of the Parking Auxiliary's staff.

We  are  interested in other universities that have tried this approach.
If so, would you please send us a contact name and telephone  number  so
we may ask more detailed questions.

if a student transfers in 3 quarters of English comp that equate to your

Fred:

I supervise several student workers and track their time by means of
a Paradox 3.5 database.  The system allows us to add and maintain
current projects, and time worked.  If you already have Paradox (we
have a university site license that makes it very reasonably priced),
it would give you everything you say you need, including the capability
of billing for time.

I would be happy to furnish a more complete description, and send you
copies of our tables and scripts, if you would like.

The Registrar's Office at Rochester Inst. of Tech. uses an HP LaserJet

Signature and validation stamp are added to the transcript by means

Topic from Verity Corp. (Mountain View, CA) is quite interesting.  It offers

some simpler systems.  It is also available on a range of larger machines and
provides client/server architecture for local pc access.  Good luck.

Subject:      Looking for a Work Order system to be used by Housing

Our housing office has a staff that does minor repairs, etc., and is
looking for a work order system to manage this activity -- record requests,
maintain status, and so on.  It should run on an IBM mainframe under CICS
and should use VSAM or DB2 files.  Can anyone provide any information on
available systems?

Thanks.

The Voyager Company in Californie (one of those beach communities, I don't
remember which one) sells a few books on disk for the Mac.  I don't know if
they carry IBM format or not.  Also, I snarfed Lewis Carroll in ascii from
somewhere on the net.  There's something called Project Gutenberg where
you can get a variety of texts.  If you have FTP capabilities you get
grab them yourself from mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu.
