| Rank | Module | Issue | Library | Keystone’s Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | CAT | Global change/database fix for author name consistency, e.g., Smith, Fred. ?Filter for PICS download? | MTTBL | In testing. 5.7r4b. Must schedule for a weekend or longer to run. |
| 1 | CAT | On the Marc record, when you download new book data, have a filter to place a period after the author's name. | UTBPH | In testing. 5.7r4b |
| 1 | CIR | Can there be a prompt to alert you at Front Desk checkout that the patron has already had the item? | FL1K | Scheduled for release 5.7r4b |
| 1 | Nightly Autoselect | Use of Subject codes during autoselect | NCLIB | Has been available. Need more information. |
| 1 | Outsourced Operation | Like to have a way to notify users when the communication is down, a broadcast fax? | FL1F | In late February, 2000, 2nd T1 by a different carrier has been added for alternate route. When communication or the server becomes temporarily unavailable, we notify by e-mail and phone. We can also use fax for those who prefer fax. |
| 1 | PAT | HasHads and Patron Items: We would like a "find record" feature. If the list is long, it is difficult and time consuming to locate a specific title or RC #. | FL1J | For Patron Items, Ctl-F has been available. For HasHads, scheduled for release 5.7r4a |
| 1 | Reports | Need help screen information for reports. | SDTBL | |
| 2 | ? | Searches: Subject search is not effective. A streamlined keyword search would be helpful. | FL1J | Need more information. |
| 2 | CIR | On Notice Manager be able to print out the patron ID on the notice; Make the OVER214 On Demand overdue Notice #2 14 point workable. It does not work since the last upgrade. | UTBPH | 5.7r4b 5.7r4a |
| 2 | HLD | Subject coding in a WAN environment focusing on consistency. We have many different users entering their own interpretations, sometimes contradicting each other. | FL1F | FL issues. A FL group meeting can be arranged to discuss these and other issues unique to FL setup. |
| 2 | Nightly Processing | Nightly program(s) get stuck on author likes until depleted before moving on | MTTBL | When only one author is specified, or available books are from one author only, this could happen. We could put a Ctl Flag to pass only one time for AuthorLikes. |
| 2 | PAT | Can there be a 3 or 6 month autoselect? The highest option we have is monthly (patron service codes) | FL1K | 5.7r5 |
| 2 | PAT | Z-search | NCLIB | Released in 5.7r4 |
| 2 | PAT | Have authors listed with the "has had" and "has now" with titles on the patron records. | SDTBL | In the current design, we do not have space. F5 shows all the information. V7 |
| 3 | CIR | Reserve/Request report cannot be printed to see the title without losing other data. Reformat page to print the whole report. If you print in landscape you lose about five entries at the bottom of the page. | UTBPH | We plan to have Form-Size option in 5.7r4b |
| 3. | CIR/EQP | A status of "in transit" would help track books and machines being sent from one library to another e.g. books/machines we are sending to Daytona. | FL1J | Need more research. |
| 3 | EQP | Machine Audit programming to get random sample of machines | NCLIB | 5.7r4b |
| 3 | NetTerm | Is there a way to delete the prompt to sign off KLAS (did you find this program helpful?) | FL1K | Need to register NetTerm |
| 3 | PAT | Reader Services - various aspects. Example - we would like to be able to use "Interests" to add regular requests as well as assign books. | FL1F | Z-Search - released in 5.7r4 |
| 3 | PAT | Have the ability from the patron master screen to assign that patron to reader service queue. | SDTBL | Need more information |
| 3 | Reports | Readership & Circulation stats still do not match up --no consistency with statistics | MTTBL | These statistics are generated per NLS/NCLBPH specifications in early 1990s. Perhaps we need to revisit what these statistics mean. |
| 4 | CIR | When books are being checked-in, the system slows down when we are trying to put books on reserve. This has been since the last upgrade. | UTBPH | This is because of additional functions being added. We will try to improve in 5.7r4b |
| 4 | DOC | Reference manual: More specific step by step instructional information (How to) would be helpful | FL1J | More specific How-To’s are often available in Technical Notes format |
| 4 | DOC | Can we have an indexed manual instead of the CD? In simple language with a trouble shooting guide. This would avoid some phone calls | FL1K | By providing on CD we can continue to update and distribute the most current manuals in a cost effective manner. Session on Saturday will show how to do “Keyword Search” |
| 4 | PAT | Another Reader Services concern...in several instances, I have been unable to find books for a patron using Interests, but could easily find them when I switch to a catalog search. | FL1F | Use Z-Search released in 5.7r4 |
| 4 | PAT | When working in the reader service queue have the last patron that you are working with stay on top. | SDTBL | 5.7r4b |
| 4 | Tech Notes | Send all Tech Notes to All libraries when developed automatically - not per request | MTTBL | Some Technical Notes are not at all applicable to Talking Book Library users. We try to provide a Table of Contents (list) identifying which Technical Notes are applicable to your specific library. |
| 4 | WebOPAC | WebOPAC - How other states use it and registration approaches | NCLIB | Discussion for Friday Session. |
| 5 | Should be able to print information from all screens. | SDTBL | V7 | |
| 5 | CIR | Reserves/Requests: Add an ID memory feature to allow a search from the patron master for book titles to place on reserve for that patron. Currently, we must perform a search for a book find it, mark it as a reserve, and then key in the patron ID # when we process the request. This means we must write the patron # down before we begin the search. Not very convenient. | FL1J | Use Z-Search released in 5.7r4 |
| 5 | CIR | On a two volume cassette book, have both cards print out. If both parts are not in, don't just have one part of the book assigned, unless it is through the front desk. | UTBPH | Fixed in 5.7r4 |
| 5 | PAT | We would like a method to better handle our "snowbirds", i.e., a way to say "no books until a specified date", when KLAS will automatically start to send books again. | FL1F | Planned for 5.7r5 Nightly Processing Status Change |
| 5 | PAT | Revamp “Quick labels” function to quickly print patron ID labels | NCLIB | Need more information |
| 5 | WebOPAC | Initial set-up/maintenance WebOPAC | MTTBL | Friday Session |
| 6 | EQP | Ability to delete machines from inventory. We were able to do this prior to the last upgrade. | UTBPH | 5.7r4b - Override option with message “… Statistics may be affected …” |
| 6 | EQP | Allow separation of machines in IRP and DBR when running Equip Listing by Status Report. | SDTBL | 5.7r4b |
| 6 | Manual | Updated Manual - CD? | MTTBL | The most current manual as we have is included in the CD distributed with 5.7r4 |
| 6 | OPAC | OPAC patrons are able to order books that we do not have, and which are not shared between our libraries (Descriptive Videos). | FL1F | At this time, by policy, books not available at SubRegionals are filled in only by Daytona, not by any other libraries. Since Daytona does not have any Descriptive Videos they will not be filled. We plan to put additional check for Patron’s Library code before processing in 5.7r4b. |
| 6 | PAT/EQP | Program to run labels for suspended patrons with equipment still out (TBM or CBM only) | NCLIB | 5.7r5 |
| 6 | User | E-Mail is awkward, not friendly. | FL1J | KLAS e-mail is not intended to replace your organization e-mail. |
| 7 | Adaptive | Progress of JAWS/Zoomtext or other ADA software | MTTBL | Friday Session |
| 7 | ADMIN | I'd like more training in System Administrator functions, especially managing code files. | FL1F | Let’s discuss in the FL group meeting |
| 7 | EQP | When checking in machines make IRP default. | SDTBL | IRP is already set to default. |
| 7 | EQP | Need a listing of equipment in numerical order to include status AVL, IRP and OUT, excluding LOS, LUN and STL. This will help when you are trying to reconcile a BPHICS report. | UTBPH | “Equipment List by Status” report - available since 5.1 |
| 7 | PAT | Option in Batch withdraw to run labels only for patrons with equipment (TBM or CBM only) still out | NCLIB | 5.7r5 |
| 8 | EQP | Make C01 default or allow prefixing on checkin. | SDTBL | 5.7r4b |
| 8 | PAT | Program to run labels for patrons whose last service date is older than 6 months or 9 months | NCLIB | 5.7r5 |
| 8 | PAT | On Patron Inactivity report not to have Transfers and Deceased on the report. Also on the Patron Purge report add Transfers. | UTBPH | 5.7r5 |
| 8 | Results | Overview of using KLAS Results (for first-time attendee). | MTTBL | Wednesday - PreConference Training |
| 8 | SER | I'd like a clearer understanding of KLAS's Serials functions, and how these interface with CMLS. We've had a number of complaints from customers whose magazine subscriptions have had various problems. | FL1F | Let’s discuss at the FL group meeting |
| 9 | HLD | Inventory Process | MTTBL | Need more information |
| 9 | PAT | For all of the label programs mentioned (batch withdraw, service date, or suspended patrons with equipment) have a way to limit the labels by patron type (example: patron type begins P or I) | NCLIB | 5.7r5 |
| 9 | PAT | Print label directly from master screen or profile screen. | SDTBL | Available since 5.7r1 |
| 9 | V7 | I'm eager to see the new GUI version of KLAS. | FL1F | Thursday Session |
| 9 | WebOPAC | Notify the patron, when they submit their requests, the system has accepted their requests. | UTBPH | Has been available |
| 10 | Latest version of product should be released to all users. If my equipment will not support Keystone has the responsibility to advise me of what I need. | SDTBL | Not all versions are applicable for all libraries, e.g. V6 has no significant BPH functions. A CD for V5.7r4 was sent to all libraries using V5.7. | |
| 10 | HLD | Utilities: Receive: Why is the type print different, is there anyway to make it consistent with the rest of the system? | UTBPH | To overcome Progress Errors, we had to change to smaller font. We will try to resolve again. |
| 10 | Keystone | Accolades from us to all Keystone staff. You are pleasant, efficient and responsive. We thank you. | FL1F | Thank You! |
| 10 | PAT | Batch suspend program - allow limit by patron type. | NCLIB | 5.7r5 |
