PALNI New Titles List Working Again

Submitted by palniadmin on Wed, 11/09/2005 - 9:53pm.

The PALNI New Titles List is once again working. It can be used to display a 'new titles list' of newly cataloged records for any PALNI library, and also to search those new titles by keyword. The application, which was originally developed by PALNI staff for our old DRA system, was "ported" to Aleph V. 15 last year. However, the system stopped running automatically following our upgrade to Aleph V. 17 in August. Staff have updated the software for V. 17, and new titles lists are being updated again each night

Header change for Brief Record v.17

Submitted by colleen on Wed, 07/06/2005 - 10:05am.

We have had several questions about the data that displays in the brief record for version 17. The columns as they are currently set, "out of the box", are as follows:

Doc No. Call No. Author Title Year OWN PLNDUP PLNCTP

First of all, this is a similar format as the Brief record display in the Search module of version 17. The OWN field has been added as has the more complete bibliographic information and the columns that are labeled "--" in 15 are labeled PLNDUP and PLNCTP. These columns have no information at all. When the first cohort went STP, these were populated with holdings information. As soon as we added the second cohort, they were no longer used because they are not relevant for a large consortium.

The Call number field reveals the last library to catalog a title and is not a relevant field to any other library. The OWN field only tells you that more than one library has holdings on a title. This is done with an "*". It does not say that the library searching the record has holdings on this title.

LTI Monthly Processing Complete for June

Submitted by colleen on Mon, 06/27/2005 - 2:13pm.

Our LTI monthly authority processing was completed yesterday, 6/27. There were 3364 records sent to LTI. We received 133 new subject headings and 1161 new name headings. The 953 field has been deleted from all of the records. The database is now open for you to add, modify, overlay, whatever.
