====== Book of Evergreen 2.1: Outline and Assignments ====== Below is a working outline for organizing the Documentation Interest Group's Book of Evergreen 2.1 into Parts, Chapters, Sections, and Sections within Sections as deeply as needed. If you wish to make changes to the outline at the Part or Chapter level or that affect an area others are working on, please discuss your proposed changes on the [[http://libmail.georgialibraries.org/mailman/listinfo/open-ils-documentation|documentation mailing list]] first. At the section and subsection level, many chapters are only vaguely organized. Your input on how to divide up these chapters into sections is greatly appreciated whether you edit the outline here or propose changes on the mailing list. Besides helping keep the work in progress logically organized, this outline will also serve to keep track of who's working on which sections and subsections of the documentation at any given time and what stage those sections are in, so we can see which areas need volunteers and who to contact about a given section. When you undertake to write, test, edit, or convert a section to docbook, please add your name next to that section, and ideally your email address so others can contact you with questions, suggestions, and offers to help. Completed contributions should be submitted to the documentation mailing list for testing, editing, Docbook conversion, and committing to the repository. ===== Part: Introduction to Evergreen 2.1 ===== * **Introduction and Intended Audience** DONE * Chapter: **About Evergreen** (what it is, history, etc) DONE * Chapter: **Key Concepts** (organizational units and locations, flexible permissions by profile group home library or individual login, bib records/volumes/copies, item types/circ modifiers/item status/item stat cat, borrower groups/user stat cats, family accounts, patron notification/action triggers, buckets, holds behavior – targeting/retargeting/priority in filling/pull lists/expired holds/suspending holds/ holds across item types) NEEDED * Chapter: **Release Notes** DONE ===== Part: The Public Access Catalog ===== * **Introduction and Intended Audience** DONE - from 2.0 * Chapter: **Basic Search** NEEDED * Section: Entering Search Terms (automatic and, Boolean has no meaning, minus for not, auto-stemming, generally fewer terms = more results, quotes for phrases, etc) * Section: Basic Search Options (Limit fields to search, Limit formats to return, select locations to search, choose display language) * Chapter: **Advanced Search** NEEDED * Section: Search Input * Section: Sort Criteria * Section: Search Library * Section: Group Formats and Editions * Section: Limit to Available * Section: Search Filters * Section: Quick Search * Section: MARC Expert Search * Section: Text Size and Language Options * Chapter: **Search Tips** NEEDED * Chapter: **Search Methodology** NEEDED * Chapter: **Search URL** NEEDED * Chapter: **Search Results and Details Pages** NEEDED * Chapter: **My Account** NEEDED * Section: Logging In (including required password change on first login, as well as self selected username alternative to card number) * Section: Password Reset * Section: Account Summary * Section: Items Checked Out * Section: Items on Hold * Section: Fines * Section: Account Preferences * Section: My Bookbags * Chapter: **Self Check** NEEDED ===== Part: Core Staff Tasks ===== * **Introduction and Intended Audience** DONE - from 2.0 * Chapter: **Using the Staff Client** (Install, login, start page (varies by institution or consortium), managing tabs/windows/button bar, menus, keyboard shortcuts (**Kathy Lussier**), column editor, workstation configuration, receipt templates (**Kathy Lussier**), operator change, exiting) Migrated from 2.0 * Chapter: **Circulation** * Section: Patron Registration and Management * Section: Searching Patrons * Section: Registering New Patrons * Section: Updating Patron Information * Section: Circulating Items Kathy Lussier * Section: Check Out * Section: Check In * Section: Renewal and Editing the Item's Due Date * Section: Marking Items Lost and Claimed Returned * Section: In-house Use * Section: Item Status * Section: Holds * Section: Placing Holds DONE - from Kathy Lussier * Section:Managing Holds DONE -from Kathy Lussier * Section:Pulling Holds DONE -from Kathy Lussier * Section:Holds Notification DONE - from Kathy Lussier * Section:Clearing Holds Shelf DONE -from Kathy Lussier * Section: Bills & Payment * Section: Making Payments * Section: Patron Credit * Section: Adding New "Grocery" Bills * Section: Bill History * Section: Refunds * Chapter: **Cataloging** - (Possibly divide the whole thing into two major sections on managing & adding holdings and managing & adding records?)
