Circulation, authorities and refactoring

⚠️ This note lists the changes that occurred since the v0.1.0a18 release, ie. including the v0.1.0a19 release.

• Cataloging:

  • New rero-ils resource for authorities (MEF records), for now only for persons.
  • Authorities for persons harvested form the new MEF RERO service.

• Interface:

  • Document covers displayed, when available.
  • Facets:
    • Reordering of facets.
    • Replaced "locations" by "libraries" facet.
    • Facets are foldable and extendable.
    • New "sources" facet for the persons results page.
  • Persons are searchable (only by logged-in librarians yet).
  • Two detailed views implemented for persons, displaying data sources.
  • New administration sidebar menu.
  • New sticky autohide header bar, with new menu.

• Editor:

  • Deletion of record is verified: when the record is linked to other resources, the delete button is disabled and a message is shown.

• Circulation:

  • The librarian can define patron types.
  • The librarian can define item types.
  • The librarian can define circulation policies.

• Harvesting: added a parameter to limit the number of records to harvest by OAI-PMH or API.

• Refactoring:

  • reroils-app, reroils-data, reroils-record-editor modules merged together and renamed to rero-ils.
  • Module structure and script helpers updated using the new released version of invenio-cookie-cutter.
  • New installation process and contributing guidelines documented.
  • In the consortial structure, member renamed to library.

• Issues closed: #71, #20, #53, #44, #94, #109, #103, #111, #127, #125.

• Known issues: the sidebar partially hides the content; this will be fixed in the next deployment.

Import eBooks from external sources

• eBooks records from external services are imported and synchronized; from the detailed view of these eBooks, the users can bounce through a link to the source.
• The search has now AND as a default boolean.

Add document types

• Data: add document types (articles, books, journals, scores, sounds, videos).
• Fix issues #46, #57, #59, #61, #66

Fixing issues (minor release)

• Fix issues #9, #11, #42
• Fix translations errors.
• Add circulation statecharts (item and loan point of view).

Consolidation

• Circulation:
  • The circulation module interface supports routing (i.e. independent URLs per functional page, for reference and navigation purposes).
  • The table in the pending view is sortable.
  • Messages are displayed to librarians when requested items are checked in.
  • Messages are displayed to librarians when requests are validated (new status at desk, or in transit).
  • When a request is validated, the related patron is notified by email.
• Fixtures:
  • There is only one organisation with three members (libraries). The example looks like a true small network of libraries.
  • Some patrons have been added, with predefined circulation transactions. These transactions can be set in the reroils-data/data/circulation-transactions.json file. This is especially useful for testing purposes.
• Data:
  • Librarians can access the item full view, which displays the related circulation transactions (loan and requests).
  • Visitors and logged in patrons aren't authorized to access members (libraries), locations and patron full views.
• User experience:
  • The web interface is enriched with links that enable librarians to access more quickly the needed information or functions.
  • The availability information has been simplified with only two colors: green if available, red if not. When an item isn't available, some additional information is displayed when relevant (ie. due date).
• Issues fixed: #11, #26, #27, #30

Circulation in progress II

v0.1.0a13

• User management:
  • Fixtures: the populate.sh script creates a librarian for each member (library), three patrons with on-going circulations transactions [see the help page].
  • Librarians can create users and grant or revoke them roles.
    • Users with no roles can:
      • log in
      • and search for documents.
    • Users with the patron role can:
      • access their profile,
      • place requests
      • and borrow items.
    • Users with the staff role are authorized to:
      • manage all resources (documents, items, organisations, members, locations, users):
      • make use of the circulation module.
• Data:
  • Item and patron barcodes are validated at creation in order to assure that they are unique. This is required by the circulation-ui module.
  • Member and location codes are also validated.
• Search:
  • The placeholder of search input in the header changes according to the search view (documents, organisations, users). In the future, this will be a selector menu.
• Circulation:
  • The reroils-circulation-ui enables the management of requests (on items for now).
  • Additional item states have been added, such as at desk (the item is ready to be picked up at the loan office) and in transit (the item is being sent from one library to another).
  • In the circulation module, logged in librarians have access to a second tab that displays the pending requests related to their library.
  • Librarians can validate requests, meaning that the item has been retrieved from the shelf. The item state changes accordingly (at desk or in transit).
  • In the check in / check out tab, the renewal action is now available.
