| 11:37 | paul | kados around ? |
| 12:41 | owen | kados: How about now? :) |
| 12:42 | paul | hi owen, you should look at http://o17.bureau.paulpoulain.[…]a/opac-browser.pl |
| 12:43 | owen | Cool! How does it work? |
| 12:43 | paul | with dewey classification (or any other) |
| 12:43 | owen | Does it require subject authorities? |
| 12:43 | paul | should work with LoC as well |
| 12:43 | nope, just a field with the classification. | |
| 12:44 | and the tree is automatically builded digit by digit | |
| 12:44 | 1 / 10 / 104; 2 / 21 / 215; ... | |
| 12:44 | the descriptions at o17 are french dewey descriptions. | |
| 12:45 | owen | And you've got a subject cloud working too? |
| 12:45 | paul | yep, although it can be improved I bet. |
| 12:47 | kados | hi guys |
| 12:47 | paul | hi kados |
| 12:47 | kados | had some trouble with our LAN this morning :/ |
| 12:47 | opac-browser++ | |
| 12:47 | owen: online signups would be slick | |
| 12:48 | owen | It's something we've talked about in our library site redesgin meetings |
| 12:48 | (which often devolve into discussions of imaginary functionality) | |
| 12:48 | kados | hehe |
| 12:48 | it wouldn't be difficult to implement | |
| 12:49 | owen | We've actually talked about two variations (maybe Tina has mentioned it before) |
| 12:49 | The first would be "pre-registration" of regular library users | |
| 12:50 | They could submit their member information and then bring their proof-of-address to the library | |
| 12:50 | The librarian would just verify the information and give them a card | |
| 12:50 | The other case we've talked about is a special borrower type for "web-only" users | |
| 12:51 | Users who want to register so they can have access to limited-access databases or downloadable audio books | |
| 12:51 | kados | right |
| 12:51 | there's also the concept of an 'anonymous' borrower | |
| 12:51 | which I find interesting :-) | |
| 12:51 | owen | How would that work? |
| 12:52 | kados | well they have to put down a credit of some kind to lein against any media they check out |
| 12:52 | and then they only get so many issues | |
| 12:54 | owen | Interesting... But they're still coming in in person, right? |
| 12:54 | No anonymous post office boxes involved? | |
| 12:56 | kados | yea, I guess they'd have to do it in person with cash |
| 12:56 | otherwise their ident would be linked to a credit card or sth | |
| 12:56 | (hang on, phone call) | |
| 12:56 | brb | |
| 15:27 | owen | You know you've spent too much time online when you see the words "box set" and think they say "bot sex" |
| 17:02 | tnb | owen: ha! :) |
| 05:29 | btoumi | hi all |
