Thank you! My coffee is cold, so moving on to hot tea:) |

Hello. I'm currently on the search for a library management system for our institute. The requirements are as follows: I need LDAP login (or at least, getting patron info from an LDAP server in some form), I would like (but not need) BibTeX exports for citations, and I need other users to be able to see *who has which book* |
| 09:43 |
sonOfRa |
I don't need any fancy borrow-periods, late fees and the like. This is supposed to be mainly a trust-based system (there's no librarian, optimally just a library computer you can log into, check out books, log back out) |
| 09:44 |
sonOfRa |
Another requirement: A *simple* dialog to add new entries. I took a look at koha, and it seems very geared towards "real" libraries, and the "add item" dialogue is a complete mystery to anyone who is not a professional librarian |
| 09:44 |
Dyrcona |
sonOfRa: Evergreen can interface with LDAP, but does not have BitTeX, and other patrons cannot see what other patrons have out, unless you make everyone a staff user, which it sounds like you would want to do. |
| 09:44 |

sonOfRa: We do have support for LDAP. We don't export citations yet, but I believe there are some people who use Zotero for their citations. |
| 09:45 |
Dyrcona |
sonOfRa: Evergreen uses MARC cataloging. You would need to add a simple dialog. |
| 09:45 |
sonOfRa |
Yeah, the MARC cataloging is what kind of turned me off of koha :( |
| 09:46 |
sonOfRa |
Hoping to find something that is a bit more agreeable to the poor sod who'll be cataloging the 4000 books that we currently (probably) have. |
| 09:46 |
kmlussier |
sonOfRa: I know of some small libraries that use LibraryThing for their collections. |
| 09:46 |
kmlussier |
https://www.librarything.com/organizations.php |
| 09:47 |
sonOfRa |
Hm, that looks like it can't be self-hosted |
| 09:47 |
kmlussier |
Oh, but I don't think you can do checkouts there. It would just be a way to make the books findable. |
| 09:47 |
kmlussier |
sonOfRa: No, it can't. |
| 09:47 |
sonOfRa |
Definitely needs to be self-hosted, as it contains possibly confidential research and unpublished dissertations |
| 09:51 |
sonOfRa |
Thanks for the quick replies, much appreciated :) |
| 09:51 |
sonOfRa |
The search continues! |
| 09:51 |
Dyrcona |
sonOfRa: You're welcome. |

Morning, to anynone using Stripe payments in EG, have you customized the relevant code to send the patron email address to Stripe, so stripe can send them a receipt email after payment? (I am on EG 2.9 so it might be addres in a later verision?) |

Alas I'm not going to be able to fulfill my allotment of feedback as I'll be at a conference next week |

dbs: fair (and thanks for acknowledging the request!) |

And I can't balance all three of (the inevitable) fires back at work, and Evergreen feedback, and extracting max value out of my time away from home and $$$, so yeah, priorities. sorry. |

sonOfRa: I don't know if you will find _library_ software that doesn't use MARC for cataloging. It's ridiculously ubiquitous, despite looking like line noise to regular people. Perhaps you could press something into service that's not meant for libraries, like software meant for individual persons to track their personal collections of music or whatnot. |
| 11:32 |
dbs |
sonOfRa: we have the RIS citation format available already; if there is a MARC2bibtext XSL we could add that pretty easily |

bshum: we probably need more variety in terms of media - video game discs, laserdiscs, realia, web sites, etc... |
| 14:43 |
rhamby |
well, need is probably too strong a word here.... |
| 14:44 |
bshum |
rhamby: Actually in a previous life with access to more records, I used to use Star Trek and other series for testing parts. Cause kmlussier knows how much I *loved* testing parts... |
| 14:45 |
bshum |
But yes, having more media would be good someday. |
| 14:45 |
rhamby |
bshum: parts is a good thought, also records with previous/sequel entries (and other 77Xs) |

The Library Extension Chrome plugin is AWESOME. Except for the "You have 3 holds ready to pick up!" part. Now I need some way to queue up all these books and automatically request a hold only when I'm almost done with the _one_ I have checked out. |

I was ready to stop the 2.12 release for that one. |
