Intranet MARC search and 'suggestions'
Paul, can you tell us about how the 'suggestions' link is supposed to work in the new intranet MARC search? What's the idea behind that? Thanks, Owen ---- Web Developer Nelsonville Public Library http://www.athenscounty.lib.oh.us

A borrower can enter a suggestion in OPAC (if suggestions are activated in parameters/systemprefs) when a suggestion is made, it has to be managed by a librarian (acquisition module). The 1st task is to validate pending suggestions : either accept or reject the suggestion. If rejected by the librarian => a mail is sent to the borrower, and it's done. If accepted => a mail is sent to the borrower, and the suggestion can now be ordered, in complete acquisition module. In acquisition module, you can add order lines from 3 sources : * Order a new item of an existing biblio * Order a new item, of a new biblio * Order a new item, from suggestion. Means new biblio, but it's pre-filled by borrower values. When the suggestion is ordered, a mail is sent to the borrower. When the order is recieved, a last mail is sent to the borrower. New features in acquisitions are : * ability to "close" a basket. A closed basket can't be modified anymore. * history search : you can search is order history.
