Subject:      RE: Unix Base Library Systems

Are there any unix based library systems that have as good
response time as notis for opac searching?  I'm asking
about very large systems with hundreds of terminals.
I'm guessing that oclc might be unix based by now (at least
epic is), but I wouldn't regard either of those as adequate
for a local opac catalog.

Comments: To: notis-l@tcsvm.bitnet

When one of our patrons changes Patron Group (Student to Alumni, for example),
LB510 does not update the Patron record.  Is this a problem to anyone else?
Does anyone have a way of accomplishing the update other than on-line?

Subject:      Charging books to carrels
Comments: To: NOTIS Listserv <notis-l@tcsvm.bitnet>

One of our last sites to come up on circulation wants:

	--to charge books to carrels
	--to have the OPAC display the actual carrel number
	--to have NOTIS carry information about which carrels are assigned
	to which patrons, via a patron record link of some kind
	--to allow desk staff to readily see from staff side exactly which
carrel an item is charged to (so they can direct readers to that
	carrel)

(They want a lot.)

After tossing around different options, we're currently investigating using a
subrecord of the "owning" patron's record, with a dummy ID that incorporates
the carrel number and a luis message field that also displays the carrel
number.

Has anyone tried this sort of thing who's willing to admit to it?

Looks to me like a problem with library versions.  You should
check with Notis to be sure, but you may have to be at LMS 5.0.2
to use MDAS 1.2U.  Assuming you rebuilt the Wilson MHIX with
the 1.2U version of MIF310B, you may need a newer version of
the online index search program in order to retranslate the
lead characters correctly.

We are trying to install OCLC Passport 2.001 and
get it to work properly with GTO 3.0. The older version
of Passport works fine however the newer 2.001 version
does not XPO correctly. The records get to the GTO
machine but apparently not in a format that GTO likes
since the records do not end up on the mainframe.
Does anyone have Passport 2.001 and GTO 3.0 working
together properly yet for the XPO function?

Subject:      NUGM and QuikReports

Greetings NOTISlanders,

I will be attending the MDAS workshop in Evanston on Monday and Tuesday and
was wondering if there are others out there who are attending this AND
staying at the Palmer House???  I am totally unfamiliar with the Chicago
public transportation system and, also being a wimp, would like a "buddy"
to make sure I get to Evanston and not somewhere else.  Any kind souls???

Also, since someone has brought it up, I am curious about the extent of
interest in the QuikReports product.  Since we already produce a majority
of the advertised reports here already, I was wondering how widespread the
interest in this thing is.  I realize not all sites have the luxury of
having someone able to devote time to local SAS programming, but if there
is anyone out there who will be purchasing the product who is willing to
answer some questions, I would appreciate it.

See you all at NUGM.  If the weather here relates in any way to the weather
there, I think the operative word is LAYER!

We have Passport version 2.001 and GTO version 3.0 working just fine.
The only problem I had when I installed the new Passport software is
that it did not convert my GTO/XPO function key definition properly
and I had to go into the function key edit utility in the OCLC
software and redefine that one function key.  I used the same
definition I had with previous versions of Passport.  It seems when
the OCLC CONVERT program executed it converted one of the commands a
little different.  Other than that I had no problem.

We are about to purchase GTO software and I have some connectivity
questions.  We interested in multi-tasking the OCLC/NOTIS/GTO
functions in a fashion similar to those described in last year's
NUGM sessions.

My questions:
Are any sites connecting their OCLC devices to the GTO PC via
Token Ring?

Are any sites connecting the GTO PC to the mainframe via Token
Ring?

I would appreciate a note from any sites using either type of connection
and will contact you regarding the particulars.

Many thanks.

Sheila,
At the Univ. of Iowa we also have a Test and Production region.  Our
training institution group is in the Production region.  We have never
encountered any confusion by staff.  Our production acquisition data
does not get mixed up with our training acquisitions data.

We have a local interface from the NOTIS accounting system to our
University accounting system.  Even with this extension, our acquisi-
tion batch products for training are kept separate from production.

If you have any specific questions, feel free to call.

We have separate patron groups for staff and students; if a patron has a

appear with the student record.  The theory being that staff can take

Subject:      Hundred $ Hammers

I just got a two-sheet mailing from NOTIS Systems, Inc., consisting of a
"Support Scorecard" which was inadvertently omitted from the September issue
of the NOTISes newsletter.  I note that the postage on this was 39 cents.  I
don't know about anybody else, but I can still mail two sheets of paper
cheaper than that--first class.  And of course that's not even counting the
staff time to get this thing out.

I can understand NOTIS putting the support scorecard into NOTISes as a PR
mechanism.  But I'm baffled to think they think it's so important to our
operations that they need to correct the omission--with our maintenance
dollars.  That's like a magazine you subscribe to forgetting to run an ad,
and sending out a separate mailing.  That's fine, as long as they don't raise
the subscription rate to cover it.

Obviously, this little episode is a drop in the bucket.  I'm just worried that
it's indicative of how bigger bucks are being spent.

5.1 is up and running in the IU system (as of last weekend).  I think one of th
e nice features of the Navigator is the ability to review previous searches.
Unfortunately the uniform titles are no longer indexed with the main titles in
both OPAC and Staff modes.  We knew this was going to happen in OPAC, but were
surprised (to say the least) to see it in Tech. Services.  We can still do
author/title searches in staff mode but not in OPAC.  So, other than the fact
that it is harder than ever to find stuff (thank Heavens for keyword), 5.1
seems to be operating pretty well.

Subject:      Re: Passport 2.001 and GTO 3.0

We upgraded Passport on one of our OCLC/GTO configurations this week
and had no problems on the CICS end.  We did have to go back through
the SETUP program and set NO TRANSLATION in the printer definition, and
set EXPORT DEFAULT OUTPUT in the options.

NOTIS 5.0.1, MVS/XA, CICS2.11 etc....
In our circulation tables, we have set the loan policy for NOLOAN as
the first (and default) table for loan policies in the circulation
situations.  Our Interlibrary Loan Office is charging items borrowed
from other libraries to the loan code "DATE" and forcing an override
date for each item -- based on our standard 3-week period unless an
item needs to be shipped back before that date.

If an item is overdue, the system is picking up the overdue charges
and characteristics of the 01, HA01, etc. sitution -- no grace period
and $5.00.  We don't want to change the 01 charges, but would like to
somehow enter an additional line into the main location which would
cover this DATE category...has anyone done this?  if so, how (without
listing every patron category eligible for ILL services and the
new loan policy code)?  Or is that the only way?  Any suggestions on
how you are handling borrowed ILL books would be appreciated...

Thanks in advance,
