All who have joined are administrators of this blog

Everyone who's accepted the invitation has been made an administrator.

That way, if anyone else needs to be invited, or other changes made, it doesn't have to go through one person.

If you want to invite other trainers (keep it lean) you have the authority.

Monographic Order question

Have we decided if we'll have access to the Initiator ID (which comes from the circulation information?

Access would make Hold/Notify Easier and somewhat more automated using Aleph features.

How does Binghamton handle it, out of curiousity?

Acquisitions brief record template

Regarding brief record "quick cataloging" template.

If you go to the Acq module and click the "orders" menu pulll-down, you then click on "catalog order".

This brings up a window that is a template for a brief record. It's inadequate, in my opinion. There should be a 245 b field; a 260 b field; and an 856 field for electronic resources.

It's unlikely to be used in the ordering process, so I'm not going to investigate this furthur.

Subfield h display problem

In the 245 OPAC display (client & browser) the GMD subfield is not displaying in the correct order. Because this relates to the h subfield, the problem doesn't apply to print books, journals, etc.

My assumption is this would mean a table setting tweak.
