Stuff+We+Want

=Tweaks we would like to OPALS=


 * In the equipment module, I would like to be able to set a session date from a calendar. Like in the Circ module. - JJHS Done.
 * I want the code for the "search" box so I can just embed it into my page. iframe preferred. - JJHS
 * In the equipment module, we feel the blue box behind the information should be in a different color to visually help us realize we are in the equipment module and not the regular library. Added to the "To-do list"
 * To be able to get circ stats for the equipment. - Yeah! This was done.
 * When we search for a piece of equipment and we want a specific holding, we feel we should not get the bib record info but that we should get the bib record with the holding info. Please note, I have changed the OPALS serial number field and renamed it Call #. However, this should be the same for barcode searches or for any search for which we are looking specifically for the holding info. Is this in the context of the general equipment search or when searching during the equipment circulation part of the program? During the general search... "TV 101" with quotes.
 * On a related note, when we do a Quick Equipment Search from the Loan page, we feel the call number (your serial number) field should show... or some other holding field besides the barcode. If we are using the Quick Equipment Search to look for a piece of equipment, we probably don't have the barcode in front of us so we can't ID the equipment.
 * We want to be able to run equipment overdue notices. It must include the call number. On the to-do list
 * When cataloging eBooks, I want the patron to see not only the 856$3 info in the OPAC. I want to have another subfield seen. Preferably z Page 7 & 8 of the February newsletter has tips for cataloging and identifying multiple E-Book links...there are also tips here for creating content notes for E-books.. or any MARC record [|February Newsletter] Yep, looked at that. The idea is that I want to be able to tell them they will need a password when they are not using it at school. If I put it in the content notes, regular notes, etc., it gets lost with the other info. If I put it into another 856 field, it looks like another link. I need a good place that stands out. Any ideas? Take a look at this to see what I mean.
 * Want to be able to print damaged items and lost items bill/letter. On the to-do list (May). We want to have the option of having the Author's name on the notices. For example, we may have 35 books called //Dinosaurs// and the same patron may have three of those. The parent may think we made a typo.
 * We want the updated MLA format (7th ed.) on the bibliography print out... all levels (bookbag, bibliography, all print outs). This site is great for current MLA info... http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/. On the to-do list
 * Change the word Bibliography to Works Cited. Being considered.. Might add Works Cited ("Bibliography") - for those that like that term :-)
 * Change the google custom search to allow users to search and get "offline" as well as "off line"... Need clarification It's on the [] site. If you're moving to the blog, it doesn't matter.
 * Make the results page for the beginner search look more like the results page in the OWL search. Summer project
 * Can we get a check in note? Need clarification Have to check with my peers but I think they wanted to be able to make a note so that if something got checked back in, a note would pop up.
