14:33 bshum graced++ # fulfillment karma!
14:40 graced Thanks bshum!
14:40 graced I need some hot tea...
14:41 bshum graced: One question our folks came up with right after we signed off, was whether fulfillment would be able to handle placing multiple holds for the same account.  Like for example a book club account looking for 20 copies of same book X for reading group.
14:41 bshum But I figure that it's like Evergreen in this regard and needs a little more dev to build that.
14:42 graced Indeed.  As far as I know you're correct.
14:42 * graced puts it on my list
14:43 bshum That sort of thing comes up not infrequently among our ILL end users
14:43 bshum I think the trick is actually two fold
14:43 bshum 1)  teach Evergreen to make multiple holds for the same account (without overriding each new creation)
14:43 jeff joined #fulfillment
14:44 jeff hrm. looks like i was only in here with one client. oops.
14:44 bshum 2)  Give some sort of alternate checkout / fulfillment of hold, where you teach during checkout to satisfy the holds made by the single account, but checkout to real people on their own accounts.
14:44 graced bshum: I thought we did some development to support that back in the 2.0 KCLS days
14:44 bshum Number 2 is something we've toyed with MassLNC about in the past too, but hey
14:44 bshum Things that help Evergreen and Fulfillment at the same time, eh?
14:45 graced But it may not have gotten finished - changing priorites and whatnot
14:45 bshum graced: There's some stuff for filling holds when it's the same person and maybe the hold hasn't gone through the capture point yet, but moved straight to checkout
14:45 bshum But yeah it doesn't do alternate patrons quite yet.
14:46 bshum And yeah, things are always in flux.
14:46 bshum Anywho, good to dream
14:46 graced oh I was talking about book club still
14:46 bshum Oh, that, heh
14:46 bshum I think we used to have some variant of it in JSPAC
14:46 bshum I'm not sure how it was done then
14:47 graced hmmm... there's a story there that needs to be told at the next conference ...
14:47 bshum Hehe
14:48 graced Well, I hope that wasn't too painful to sit through - thanks for being there!
14:49 bshum I think it went very well.  :)
14:49 jeff for those that missed it, will a recording be available?
14:50 bshum jeff: I believe there will be a recording made available later.
14:50 bshum Or so I recall hearing
14:53 graced Yes, there's a recording.  Lyrasis is handling it so it will likely be available through their site.
14:53 jeff Thanks!
14:53 graced Also, they just asked me to do another session in September
14:53 graced So, there will be another (hopefully with less flaky audio)
