09:01 niki__ Hello... I just want to ask. I buy new server how I transfer my evergreen system to my new server? I am not I.T can you help me or give me idea
09:02 krvmga joined #evergreen
09:04 krvmga i have a puzzling problem. take a look at this record http://bark.cwmars.org/eg/opac/record/8913​69?query=gone%20girl;qtype=keyword;locg=1
09:05 krvmga at the very bottom of the record, in the lower left hand corner, you'll see a roman numeral. this numeral tells you which of our five brickheads the record is being served from.
09:05 krvmga the record directories are identical on all five brickheads
09:06 krvmga but, on brickeds 1,2,3, and 5, there are five choices shown at the bottom of the record (summaries, awards, add. content, shelf browser, marc record)
09:06 niki__ what about the circulation policies? all the settings i did in my old server how to transfer them?
09:06 krvmga but on brickhead 4, only two show up (summaries, marc record)
09:07 krvmga to get the record from a different brickhead, just hit F5 to reload the record
09:07 krvmga i am really at a loss as to why 4 is showing something different when the directories and files are all the same
09:07 krvmga a caching problem somehow?
09:08 niki__ Hello... I just want to ask. I buy new server how I transfer my evergreen system to my new server? I am not I.T can you help me or give me idea
09:08 krvmga we just upgraded from 2.4 to 2.5 last sunday and the problem has appeared since then
09:10 krvmga niki_: i think the first thing to do is make sure that the basic required things are installed on your new server: a supported linux operating system and the right version of postgresql
09:11 niki__ I already did that. I try to export my files using csv but it takes toooooooo toooo toooo longggg....
09:11 niki__ is there other way?
09:12 niki__ I install 12.04 ubuntu and 9.1
09:12 krvmga niki_: did you already do a sql dump from your existing system and import your data to the new system?
09:12 niki__ I installed the latest evergreen version 2.5.5 but my problem is how to import.
09:13 niki__ how?
09:13 niki__ In evergreen import/export. in my old server I export my data there but its tooooooooo llllloooonnnggggggg........... is there fastest way?
09:14 krvmga i use phppgadmin to manage my database
09:14 krvmga you can export and import through that
09:14 niki__ I am not an IT person sir. I installed evergreen based on tutorial in net.
09:15 krvmga niki_: well, you're in the process of becoming much more of an IT person now. :)
09:15 niki__ ohh.........
09:17 niki__ if I import/export from phpadmin how about my policies that I set in my old server is it included in phpadmin?
09:18 niki__ sory for bad english
09:18 krvmga niki_: most of those things are stored in the database.
09:19 niki__ ok... so how I open my phpadm,in?
09:19 krvmga niki_: exceptions would be local receipt templates, bib templates (which are xml files)
09:20 niki__ can you elaborate more?
09:20 krvmga niki_: and custom data sources that might have been added to fm_IDL.xml
09:22 krvmga niki_: this might help https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/​how-to-install-and-use-phppgadmin-on-ubuntu-12-04
09:22 jeff kmlussier: thanks (re: RSCEL)
09:23 niki__ wait I will read it...
09:24 niki__ Do i need to create new username and password?
09:24 niki__ in php?
09:26 kbeswick joined #evergreen
09:27 tsbere krvmga: opac/parts/record/extras.tt2 I think has an "extras" array that I think controls those tabs at the bottom somewhat....perhaps #4 has a different version of that file?
09:28 krvmga tsbere: i'll check that out. thx.
09:28 krvmga tsbere++
09:30 krvmga niki_: yes, you need to create a username and password for that, if i recall correctly. this will be different from the evergreen user and password from the evergreen installation
09:30 kmlussier jeff: np
09:31 niki__ sir during the installation of evergreen I installed postgres username and password does any effect if I create new one?
09:31 krvmga niki_: i'm sorry i have to run. we're short staffed here today. i hope someone else can help you from here.
09:32 niki__ oh boy
09:35 niki__ does anyone here can help me? I buy new server and I won't use my ageing server now I have both evergreen in 2 servers my problem is how to transfer my data from old server to new server? I try the export built in evergreen but it takes too long. I hope someone help me. :(
09:36 tsbere niki__: For the database alone look up pg_dump and pg_restore, you may also want/need reports files in /openils/var/web/something I think, in addition to whatever configuration file(s) you have customizations in, etc
09:39 niki__ I am not I.T person sir... what you say's is like what Sir Krvmga say's. he gave me a link but when I reading it. it says create new username and password in postgres I remember that during the installation of my evergreen I create username and password for my postgres 9.1  do I need to create new username and password?
09:44 tsbere niki__: Arguably, if you are not an IT person you should *find* an IT person to handle this for you at this point.
09:44 bshum niki__: What tsbere is trying to tell you is that you likely want to copy the whole postgres database from your old server and restore it to your new one.  This is a technical process that requires some knowledge of database management and other technical skills.
09:45 bshum We can offer some general tips and suggestions but we are not going to be able to provide you an exact step-for-step approach to the process, because it may vary greatly depending on other circumstances related to your systems.
09:46 niki__ ok guys thanks for the support.............
09:48 yboston joined #evergreen
09:54 bshum niki__: There are people in this channel who work for support companies and might offer you other solutions.
09:55 bshum Personally though, given your own wariness about IT work, I'm not comfortable offering further advice as a project volunteer.
10:01 niki__ It's ok I understand you. I think I will work it by myself now.

11:02 sal_ joined #evergreen
11:06 sal_ Sticks head up...  I've been asked if there's any way to expose an item ISBN via SIP.   Is there a way in Perl to get the MARC record from the bib item? (Or even better, parse out the 020 string out of the MARC record?)
11:06 jeff greetings.
11:06 sal_ (For the SIP part, that's what the CH field is for, right?)
11:07 sal_ And hi, all!
11:07 * bshum waves at sal_
11:08 jeff sal_: would this be for displaying a picture of the item at checkout time, etc?
11:13 vlewis joined #evergreen
11:15 * tsbere wonders which ISBN you would use when there are multiple in the record
11:16 sal_ There are a number of things, apparently.
11:17 sal_ Bookcovers, Ebooks, pricing information (you saved $X by borrowing from the library)
11:18 sal_ How often are the multiple ISBNs really different (as opposed to 10/13 or duplicates?)
11:18 sal_ obviously not a librarian ;-)
11:18 tsbere sal_: Sometimes you have paperback vs hardcover vs deluxe edition vs whatever else ISBNs, for example
11:18 gmcharlt sal_: one common pattern is that a record will have the ISBN of the hardcover and the ISBN of hte paperback
11:18 gmcharlt snap
11:19 sal_ and hi, bshum!
11:19 sal_ jinx! :-D
11:19 sal_ Hmm, maybe cons them both together in the SIP packet and let the consumer decide what it wants to do with them.
11:21 sal_ I went poking around the database.  Am I right that the ISBN is only stored in the MARC field in the bib record?  There's a dummy field elsewhere, but it's not populated in my catalog :-)
11:22 tsbere sal_: Well, you can pull them out of other places if you know what you are doing. metabib.full_rec or real_full_rec for example.
11:24 bshum reporter.materialized_simple_record has ISBN in an array I think
11:24 * tsbere avoids thinking about that table
11:24 tsbere <_<
11:24 bshum Well I just wonder if that's where we're already pulling things like title, etc.
11:25 sal_ Where does the item status summary get it?
11:25 tsbere SIP2 parses the marcxml, I believe
11:25 bshum Wherever we get it now, if we can just grab the extra data, then we can skip extra DB lookups?
11:25 bshum Oh, well, then :)
11:25 * bshum should crawl back under his rock
11:25 tsbere Which is why telling it to only count IDs was such an improvement
11:26 tsbere It stopped it from having to parse every record's XML just to get a title
11:27 tsbere Technically it gets the mods output, I believe...
11:27 sal_ Hmm.  I've played with OpenILS.SIP.Item.pm, but I have no idea what it's pulling its data from.
11:27 bshum Speed is important.
11:27 jeff Evergreen SIP code makes a lot of use of OpenILS::Application::AppUtils::record_to_mvr, which takes a record (bre) object and parses the marcxml into MODS (using OpenILS::Utils::ModsParser)
11:28 tsbere what jeff said, with the note that pre-cats skip some of that to use copy level data
11:28 jeff (as the name implies, record_to_mvr returns an mvr object)
11:28 jeff tsbere: yes, the "dummy isbn" field sal_ mentioned earlier
11:29 sal_ Alas, Evergreen SIP is not very fast...
11:29 tsbere jeff: I was thinking more the dummy_title field, SIP2 doesn't use isbn at all to my knowledge right now
11:29 jeff (though not the isbn in the case of SIP code, as neither OpenILS::SIP nor SIPServer code contain any matches for m/isbn/i :-)
11:29 sal_ There are various ILS extensions that have an ISBN field in SIP (I think they use "IN").  I was thinking about hacking CH.
11:29 sal_ Since we're not currently using that.
11:30 sal_ But someone's already nicely stubbed it out :-)
11:31 sal_ But I'd have to figure out how to extract an ISBN first.  (I think the summary page is using the first 020 in the MARC record.)
11:31 jeff if there's existing convention / de-facto "standard" for using an "IN" field, I'd almost lean toward that, depending on how widespread the practice is. I suspect if we started returning it in CH, then that would end up conflicting with whatever someone else uses CH for :-)
11:31 sal_ (Oh, like Circulation modifiers?)
11:32 sal_ I don't know whether there's any kind of standardization.  I can check SIP3 to see if they've got a field defined.
11:34 jeff sal_: anywhere in OpenILS::SIP::Item where you have $self-{mods}, which can be used to access title/author/isbn/etc -- WHICH isbn will be up to MODS itself.
11:34 jeff sal_: SIP3 defines an ID field on a checkout response (12) message, to contain an isbn or other identifier -- they even use a format to tag what the identifier is!
11:34 jeff sal_: but it's not defined in item information for some reason.
11:35 jeff sal_: though that may be that i have an old draft.
11:35 sal_ Heh.  Well, first trick is to *get* the ISBN so I can do something with it.
11:35 sal_ CH is completely flexible, according to the standard--it's whatever the library wants to do with it :-)
11:35 jeff some time ago the 3M SIP3 discussion forum site went away. I wonder if I e-mailed 3M if they would have the data that it contained.
11:36 sal_ My boss is on the committee--if there is anything, I can probably get it out of him.
11:36 sal_ Alas, he's WFH today.
11:37 sal_ (Switching between Windows editors and emacs is confusing my fingers)
11:38 * tsbere tends to use vim across platforms
11:38 sal_ * defaults to emacs for Perl.  No idea why.
11:38 jeff ironically, i just found more information on the current status of sip3 from slideshare than i've ever been able to find on NISO's site. :P
11:40 jeff http://www.niso.org/lists/sip-info/archive is still empty
11:43 sal_ So does the mods object have the ISBN in it?  (The dummy ISBN field in my asset.copy table is empty for all copies.)
11:45 tsbere sal_: I believe it does, but I do not know where off the top of my head.
11:46 sal_ Well, you've given me a starting point.
11:46 sal_ If I come up with anything useful, I'll let you know...

11:55 jeff anyone here made use of MyPC for public workstation management? http://pcbooking.com/

12:32 ktomita joined #evergreen
12:34 kmlussier sal_ is here? Welcome back sal_! :)
12:36 ktomita_ joined #evergreen
12:36 sal_ Hi, kmlussier!
12:36 jeff sal_: i'm pretty sure that the mvr object's isbn field is going to need additional cleanup in many cases, but again -- untested proof of concept and all that
12:38 sal_ BTW, SIP3 is using ID with a type identifier (LOCAL, ISBN, ISSN, UPC) followed by a colon, followed by the value.  ISBNs and ISSNs may (or may not) contain colons
12:38 sal_ hyphens
12:39 sal_ Not colons.
12:39 sal_ The hyphens in the ISBNs/ISSNs are supposed to be ignored.
12:41 sal_ jeff: can I drop the Item.pm directly in somewhere, or do I need to rebuild Evergreen (with the new version in the appropriate src folder)
12:42 sal_ Or patch a master?
12:54 ericar joined #evergreen
12:56 gmcharlt sal_: quick-and-dirty, you can drop it in the system Perl directory where that Item.pm got installed, then bounche SIPServer
12:56 sal_ That's what I thought.
12:56 gmcharlt more correct is to rebuild Evergreen, or go to Open-ILS/src/perlmods and ./Build install
12:56 sal_ Just wanted to make sure...
12:56 gmcharlt (after apply the patch to your Git tree, of course)
12:57 sal_ Yep.
13:01 hbrennan joined #evergreen
13:01 ldw joined #evergreen
13:15 jeff sal_: it's likely that you'll see CH values returned with "extra" data in the ISBN, like (pbk.)
13:16 jeff sal_: but I did use the ISBN: convention from SIP3's ID field

13:58 * kmlussier forgot she needed to pick somebody up at the airport today.
13:59 kmlussier bbqben: Tell that to my 14-year-old nephew when he's wondering alone in a strange airport. :)
13:59 kmlussier That is, wandering
13:59 bbqben kmlussier: in that case, I guess its ok ;)

14:16 kmlussier Just those taken by event staff.
14:17 bbqben kmlussier: thanks. any questions anybody?
14:17 kmlussier Tony had posed the idea of requiring creative commons licensing for anyone who takes photos, but I personally think that's a little too much.
14:17 montgoc1 I agree.
14:17 kmlussier And I don't think there are many conference policies out there that do so.
14:17 kmlussier Generally, I think it's ready for a vote.
14:18 yboston2 joined #evergreen
14:18 bshum Reads well to me.
14:19 bbqben kmlussier: appreciate the legwork on this one. will queue up a vote...

14:24 bbqben kmlussier or graced - any updates or shall we bf for next?
14:25 kmlussier Well, I sought volunteers, but forgot about the Terms of Reference.
14:25 kmlussier For volunteers, we have graced and me. :)
14:25 bbqben kmlussier ++
14:25 bbqben graced ++
14:25 kmlussier We each can cover former conference planners and EOB members. And graced also is a vendor.
14:26 kmlussier What I really would like to see is an at-large community member or two.
14:26 kmlussier So maybe I'll put out another all?
14:26 kmlussier That is, call.
14:26 bbqben kmlussier: sounds good to me - will watch for that

14:28 bbqben #topic Status of discussion re: EG community use of OCLC records
14:28 bbqben yboston: any updates on this front?
14:28 yboston2 I don't have major updates so far.
14:29 bbqben yboston: ok, please keep us posted
14:29 yboston2 hold on, technical dificulties
14:29 yboston2 I stated a EOB list thread about this topic right before the May meeting. Rogan and Dan Wells were very helpful with their feedback , Mike Rylander chimed in too
14:29 yboston2 at some point I would like to consider getting the SFC involved, but I might not be there yet
14:29 yboston2 Questions about sharing OCLC records comes up often for me and a few others, even before working on RDA issues. For example, when dealing with troubleshooting authorities issues, there are times I would like to share a few bib and authority record from OCLC to illustrate certain issues I am having. Therefore I would love to get straight answer, and would like to get the SFC involved so we can get legal guidance from them. Though
14:30 ericar joined #evergreen
14:30 bshum yboston2: Cut off at "Though o..."
14:30 yboston2 reach out to OCLC directly.
14:30 yboston2 Though of course, the SFC might need to reach out to OCLC directly.
14:31 bbqben #info the thread on the list http://list.evergreen-ils.org/pipermail/​eg-oversight-board/2014-May/000769.html
14:31 yboston2 Some in the community, like Dan Wells, think that we can use the OCLC records, and he is willing ot host them.
14:31 yboston2 Andrea also provided a new link for trying to get RDA records from LC
14:32 yboston2 I need to try it out, since the previous LC site/link I used gave me mixed results
14:32 bbqben yboston2: thanks for the refresher
14:32 kmlussier That's my question. If we can share records from LC, is there a reason why we need to use the OCLC ones?
14:33 yboston2 I will think about this issue more, but I could use some suggestions about how and when we should involve the SFC
14:33 yboston2 assuming the majority wants them involved
14:33 bbqben I guess I see 2 issues: 1. Having SFC weigh in on the OCLC terms of use; and 2. determining if/how much community wide interest their is
14:33 yboston2 that is about it
14:33 yboston2 for now

14:35 bbqben would asking SFC to examine the terms jeopardize anything at this point? If not, can anyone think of a reason not to start there?
14:35 bbqben I'm thinking that without knowing what the potential opportuinty is, it may be difficult to assess interest
14:36 yboston2 I don't think it would jeopardize anything, though I want to make sure I have collected all the documentation they might night to start looking into this to save them time
14:36 bbqben going once...
14:36 kmlussier bbqben: Seems like a good place to start.
14:37 yboston2 sorry having technical issues with the IRC channel
14:37 bbqben yboston2: no worries. standby for an action, and thanks

14:39 bbqben gmcharlt: thanks again
14:39 gmcharlt sure
14:39 bbqben any questions / observations about the financial report?
14:40 kmlussier No questions, but I do want to let the EOB know that bbqben and I requested that the SFC allow gmcharlt to continue to access the ledger even though he is no longer a member of the Board.
14:40 kmlussier The SFC asked that I inform the EOB since access is usually only allowed for Board members.
14:40 bbqben kmlussier: right, thanks
14:40 montgoc1 Is the unearned income conference reg. fees that are not paid yet?
14:41 sborger Galen was going to reschedule the training for the ledger, right? So he can pass on that duty to someone on the board?
14:41 kmlussier I wouldn't think so. That seems awfully high, and most of the registration fees were paid immediately by credit card.
14:41 gmcharlt sborger: yes; I'll try scheduling smoething after ALA
14:42 sborger Sounds good!
14:43 bbqben kmlussier: mind checking with Bradley - the unearned income entry may simply need an adjustment assuming the conference books are now closed
14:43 yboston2 gmcharlt++
14:43 gmcharlt montgoc1: no; as I understand it, it's an accounting term that refers to income received before it is earned by delivering the service
14:43 gmcharlt i.e., any prepayment of anything would count as unearned income
14:43 bbqben kmlussier: what gmcharlt said ;)
14:44 montgoc1 OK.  That makes sense.
14:44 kmlussier Makes sense to me! :)
14:44 bbqben ok, moving on then
14:44 kmlussier There's a reason I didn't pursue a career in accounting.
14:44 bbqben #topic Evergreen 2.7 Release Manager's Report
14:44 bshum Okay
14:45 bshum So things are in motion on that front.
14:45 bshum I asked developers to start targeting new features for review.
14:45 bshum I'm revising our 2.7 roadmap later this next week with some of the key things I see changing.
14:45 bshum And then I'll send out some updates to the general list on that.
14:46 bshum What I'll be trying to do is to follow the dates I've marked on the Evergreen calendar for different milestones for development.  But we'll see how that progresses in real time.
14:47 bshum #info 2.7 development has begun, roadmap plans to be updated and released by end of June.
14:47 bbqben Thanks Ben! Any questions anyone
14:48 bbqben ok, moving on
14:48 bbqben #topic Evergreen Conference Report(s)
14:49 kmlussier Sorry - unfortunate timing, but I need to run.
14:49 bbqben kmlussier advises that she reached out to the 2014 crew, and we hope to see standing reports starting next meeting
14:49 bbqben kmlussier: have fun at the airport!
14:49 kmlussier Thanks. Bye all!
14:49 bbqben #topic Report on EOB survey re: IRC and Teleconferences
14:51 bbqben So, I summarized the responses on the mailing list. Seems that this day/time is good for all but 1, sometimes. And there's interest in perhaps a quarterly _recorded_ teleconference
14:51 bshum bbqben: For Q4 results, is the total number of entries less because not everyone selected a choice?  4 vs. 7 otherwise.
14:51 bbqben bshum: correct
14:52 bshum Cool, just curiously checking.
14:52 bbqben there was some question logic, so if you answered "I hate teleconferences" or its moral equivalent, you got redirected to the end of the survey
14:52 bshum Aha
14:53 bbqben I'm thinking we could aim for a fall teleconference - sort of a mid year check in on our progress; perhaps we could invite the 2014 conference folks to attend etc.
14:54 yboston2 sounds good
14:54 sborger I like that idea. We could also get a report on the hackaway.
14:54 gdunbar bbqben: That sounds good to me, too
14:54 bbqben If that doesn't sound horrible, I'm happy to host & record it on our service. I'll propose some dates at our next meeting
14:54 bbqben we can download recordings as audio files for the purposes of minutes
14:55 bbqben #action bbqben to propose fall teleconference meeting dates & arrange to host / record call
14:56 bbqben Anyone have any new business?
14:56 bbqben Going once....
14:57 bbqben Going twice ....

15:01 Bmagic I looked at the current bugs and didnt find this. Has anyone else noticed that the Item Status screen shows the "Last Edited by" the same person as "created by" even though the column asset.copy.editor has something different?
15:02 Bmagic "Show Item Details" rather
15:19 tsbere Bmagic: I haven't noticed that, have you verified the copy ids are the same copy in the DB and client?
15:19 Bmagic tsbere: yes
15:19 Bmagic I used the staff client barcode to look it up in the db
15:21 tspindler joined #evergreen
15:23 tspindler We just upgraded to 2.5 and are looking at implementing the library links to holdings in the OPAC,  we would enter links to library pages.  One question we had is if we do this will the upgrade to 2.6 overwrite these links with the org unit pages coming in 2.6?
15:23 tsbere Bmagic: You talking in the upper right corner block?
15:23 tsbere Just under the actions menus?
15:24 Bmagic tsbere: yeah, the upper right hand corner, under the action menus
15:24 tsbere Bmagic: I believe those are the *bib* created/edited columns, not the copy
15:25 tsbere Bmagic: In fact, I think that entire block, from the title over, is bib info
15:25 Bmagic tsbere: I am just realizing that now... doh
15:26 Bmagic I also checked in the item status screen where you scan the barcodes, I added "Edited by" from the column picker and got blank
15:27 Bmagic Does the staff client have a place to show the actor.usr that last updated the COPY ? Trying to determine who changed the status
15:27 tsbere that may be a bug (the empty columns)
15:29 tsbere Bmagic: I believe the editor and edit date show up when you edit the item, in the leftmost column
15:29 tsbere Bmagic: Though edit date and status changed time are two different things, I believe, so if it wasn't a manual edit they are likely to be different peopl
15:29 tsbere er, people
15:30 Bmagic tsbere: I realize that, and yes! I see it in the staff client on the "Edit Items" window
15:30 * tsbere could be wrong there, though

15:52 tspindler I found my answer in the upgrade sql scripts, and it doesn't overwrite URLs.
16:00 * dbs would love to see someone run the script at https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1330784 for generating sitemaps on a beefy test system
16:00 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1330784 in Evergreen "Evergreen needs automated sitemap generation" (affected: 1, heat: 8) [Wishlist,New]
16:00 jeff dbs: are you looking for performance or for failures?
16:01 dbs Runs on concerto et all but 227 records is different from 500,000
16:01 dbs jeff: both, really :)
16:01 dbs but performance is probably the biggest concern. that said, it uses a DBI connection with the reporter-store credentials, so the 60 second timeout shouldn't be an issue.
16:07 jeff 26M of sitemap data generated in 27 seconds.
16:09 dbs Nice! Sounds about the right size, faster than I anticipated
16:09 dbs jeff++
16:10 yboston joined #evergreen
16:10 jeff 246,920 bibs in this db restricted to one system.
16:10 jeff re-running without --lib-shortname
16:11 * bshum twiddles his thumbs waiting
16:11 jeff warm cache. that one runs in 5.9 seconds and generates... wait, 24M of sitemap
16:11 bshum 26.332s -- 105M of sitemaps
16:12 bshum Without lib-shortname, so default everything I guess
16:12 jeff oh. the size is different because --lib-shortname means the URLs get locg= appended
16:13 jeff and it's not "all bibs", it's "all bibs with opac visible copies"
16:14 jeff (leveraging the aovc mat view)
16:16 jeff very nice.

16:26 jeff this was on a smallish ec2 instance (m3.medium) with just the db running -- the db being at 2.5.1
16:31 jeff cold cache, though.
16:33 jeff cold cache + standard EBS volume == i was expecting it to take a bit longer. :-)
16:33 tspindler left #evergreen
16:47 jeff now with holdings-level schema.org stuff -- or WHEN we have holdings-level scheam.org stuff, is it reasonable to go through the complexity of doing "this url updated on this date" based on when item availability changed?
16:48 dbs jeff: thought about that, but that would certainly make for a lot more change
16:49 * dbs had to go and play a couple of games of chess with his daughter, sorry for the delay
16:49 hbrennan dbs: Aww. :)
16:49 dbs totally smoked her
16:49 dbs :)
16:53 dbs I kind of think the approach for a system that wants to do availability checks is to crawl and index the bib data and then, if someone is interested in more info about a given resource, just do a real time retrieval of the bib + holdings at that point
16:54 dbs (which could still be done just by grabbing the opac record + parsing the schema.org holdings, no z39.50 / unapi / screen scraping required)
16:55 jeff yeah, i suppose expecting google to re-index every time item availability changes is the unreasonable part.
