Hi
We just changed our library barcodes to ERN numbers. No problems here. We just did a refresh and can’t figure out how to print out a list of students and staff refreshed. We are used to putting in a barcode range to get a print out. Can anyone give me the details please.

Ern refresh-when?

 Refreshing students in OASIS

 

Sorry to be a nuisance on something I should know but just need a reminder on how to do a refresh of students. Gone through all the options in OASIS and can’t seem to find it. Checked my prehistoric (well, at least pre-Thin Client) OASIS manuals and can’t find it either. My assistant usually does this but she’s off in China! Also, do all other OASIS users (ie. the front office admin staff) have to be logged out or can I do it anytime?

 

B4/R3 – just make sure that the barcode matches the one on the sheet of barcodes…Admin doesn’t need to be logged out…. students “come over” from ERN overnight so all new students may not appear first time.

Add borrower – Ern numbers

I don’t use Staff Refresh because of problems with duplicates in the past, so we manually add them & have found since ERN that we cannot add someone as staff unless they have the ADMIN number, it just won’t go past that point, & so they have to be Externals, even if they are starting a big block placement, until Admin has processed them enough to get the magic staff code. Then we can change their category later.
However, this year I’ve had to deal with students not rolling over properly from 11 to 12 & getting duplicated. That has been a pain because of simultaneous records for both “identities”. I’ve managed to fix all but one which didn’t work as I discovered late today & shall have to try again Monday.

Free barcodes

I have downloaded Citrix 12.1, I’ve got the instructions how to save and manipulate the sizing. Now all I need is the ‘code 39 font’ which is apparently found in the SCAN issue for Feb. 2010.

Go to http://www.idautomation.com/fonts/free/#Download_Free_Barcode_Font
You save it to your “Font” folder which is found in the “Windows” folder of your computer.

Citrix download

If you haven’t installed the new Citrix Client you can use the New Borrowers list in Sample Reports (Library121) this uses loan limits to identify new Borrowers (limit = 0) so it will also pickup any recalcitrants you have removed borrowing rights from (if any, you probably know the ones!).

TV catalogue and SCIS OPAC

The NSW SCIS Cataloguing Agency is currently having discussions with TV4Education about enabling the Agency to catalogue v-TV Library digital video titles requested by school libraries. While libraries subscribing to TV4Education may use the free library software offered by TV4Education, libraries  will still need to download SCIS catalogue records into their catalogues in the usual way.

Before requesting cataloguing of any v-TV Library program, please check SCIS OPAC to see if it has already been catalogued.  A basic search of Title, limited by Videorecording will list possible titles. “Video file” and “digital, MPEG file” in the Description in the SCIS record will identify the record as a match.  Do remember that the title of the program is taken from the title frame in the program itself.
