09:37 jeff > Greater host control of AI Companion during meetings
09:38 berick jeff: cool we don't even have to talk? nice
09:40 csharp_ soon enough it will all just be bots talking to each other
09:44 jeff you thought the occasional bot loop on irc or email autoresponder was annoying... wait until your AI agents get in a loop trying to short-circuit to a human!
09:45 jeff agent. agent. AGENT!

17:05 kmlussier jeffdavis: We were looking at the privacy waiver today. Can you tell me what the intent was behind including View Checkout History in the waiver? Since My Account is the only place where a checkout history appears, we were puzzling over how this option is used in practice.
17:29 jihpringle joined #evergreen
17:35 jeffdavis kmlussier: I'm pretty sure the View Checkout History option is obsolete. The feature is very old, I don't recall if there was a time when a patron's checkout history was visible in the staff client?
17:37 jihpringle joined #evergreen
17:37 kmlussier jeffdavis: OK, got it. I don't remember there ever being a time when it was visible in the staff client. Maybe in xul?
17:37 kmlussier jeffdavis++
17:38 jeffdavis the privacy waiver definitely dates back to the XUL days at Sitka
17:38 kmlussier Belated karma because I wasn't around when this very cool feature was released. But I talked it up with some of my colleagues at the time when I saw it in the release notes!
17:38 jihpringle kmlussier jeffdavis: actually I think it's intended to cover if the patron has items currently checked out
17:39 jihpringle staff can then tell the person about current overdues etc.
17:39 jeffdavis hm, in that case the name should probably be changed
17:39 kmlussier jihpringle: Oh, I see. So it really isn't a checkout history as much as viewing current checkouts.
17:39 kmlussier jeffdavis: You read my mind. :)
17:40 jihpringle I wonder if we made it more generic cause of fines etc - there could be history of returned items in fines
17:40 jihpringle or in notes or alerts
17:41 jihpringle different wording to convey you can tell the person about any circ data currently available through the account would be good
17:43 jihpringle the other three options are you can do these specific functions and this one is more, staff can tell you anything that staff can see about circulations on the account
17:45 kmlussier View Circulation Information? Access Circulation Information? Obtain Circulation Information?
17:45 kmlussier Having trouble coming up with the right verb.
17:45 jihpringle of the three I like Obtain the best
17:46 kmlussier I agree.
17:52 jihpringle it would be handy if the waiver had a tool tip or explanation of some sort built in for the patron
17:54 jihpringle Place Holds - your chosen person can place holds on your behalf, Pick Up Holds - your chosen person can pick up holds on your behalf, Check Out Items - your chosen person can check out library items on your account, Obtain Circulation Information - your chosen person can be told about your overdues, outstanding bills, etc.
17:54 jihpringle maybe something like that ^^
17:57 kmlussier I like that idea!
17:59 kmlussier jihpringle: For Check Out Items, then, was the original intent that the item is checked out in the system on the patron's account, but the proxy is the person who leaves with the item? We weren't sure whose account the item is checked out to in the system.
18:00 jihpringle I think so
18:00 jihpringle that's how my local libraries use it
18:01 kmlussier jihpringle: Thanks for clarifying. Of course, since it's just a note, I know we can make it mean whatever we want it to mean, but I was curious how it was used originally.
18:01 kmlussier jihpringle++
18:01 jihpringle when my sister picks up my holds they get checked out on my account (she works beside the library the next town over so it's very convenient when I want things from them)
18:03 jihpringle It would also be handy if it was something libraries could easily customize if they have different restrictions - maybe staff are only allowed to say how many items the person already has out but not the titles
18:09 kmlussier Customization is never a bad thing.
18:10 kmlussier Thanks for your help. I'm heading out for the day in the hope that traffic has died down in the past hour. Have a good night!
