Welcome
Submitted by Paul Miller on Mon, 2006-03-13 11:07.Welcome to this evolving community space, and to these forums.
The whole notion of 'Library 2.0' is one in which librarians, library members, developers, software companies and other third parties are able to work together, and to build rich and innovative new services which orchestrate value from a range of previously separate (and often closed) silos of data.
We discuss some of these ideas in our recent 'Library 2.0: the challenge of disruptive innovation' (PDF) and in our other white papers.

Scheduling reports
Submitted by davidparish on Wed, 2012-01-18 12:35.If I schedule a report to be saved in the original file location, the filename changes once it has run (and CMC shows it ran successfully), but there is no data. The data from any previous instance was purged before I started. 'Refresh'just seems to run it again.
Half hourly Statistics
Submitted by TraciSpurr on Thu, 2011-12-01 13:50.Has anyone any advice on how to create half hourly issue statistics? I've managed to break it down into hours fairly easily but would like to break it down either further into half hourly timeslots, such as 09.00-09.29, 09.30-9.59, 10.00-10.29 etc.
Thanks
Sending reservations lists by email
Submitted by Rhion Pritchard on Thu, 2011-09-08 14:28.We are trying to automate the process of emailing the output from res_itm_noloan to the various libraries. In order to do this, we need to have the email address of each site appearing on the list in the output from this script.
We have added the following to retrieve.pl for res_itm_noloan:
($LocationEmailAddress) = &sql($d, "
select E_MAIL_NO
from LOCATION_ADDRESS
where LOCATION_ID = '$active_site_id'
") ;
Borrower Anonymiser - Updating the Item status
Submitted by runderwood on Tue, 2011-09-06 10:38.We have revised our run of Borrower Anonymiser (Nony) to include borrowers with loans. However I have noticed that Nony does not quite go far enough in that it does not change the status of the items that it discharges. Therefore stock that we are never going to get back are still listed as being in stock. What I would like to be able to do is strip just the item barcodes from the Nony report file and import this into a script so that I can change the item status. Any ideas on how to do this would be gratefully received.
Thanks.

Retrieving Bib information from list of barcodes
Submitted by Jamie on Wed, 2011-08-10 14:36.I have a list of 20,000+ barcodes and need the bibliographic information related to each one.
Does anyone know if this is this possible via Decisions or another script?
Thanks in advance
Jamie

Invoice Charges
Submitted by markhughes on Tue, 2011-07-12 13:08.From the Orders universe, I am trying to get at invoice totals and invoice charge totals, broken down by expenditure code.
At the moment, from the Orders Universe, I have:
Suppliers-Supplier Name
Invoices-Invoice Date, Invoice Number
Fund Accounting-Expenditure Code(base)
Invoices-Item net(base currency)
Is there any way I can pull in totals for invoice charges (i.e. amount paid) (as seen on the 'Invoice Charges' tab on the Alto invoice screen).
I can't seem to see this anywhere in the orders universe, but it may be possible by freehand SQL?
Thanks
Mark
