Sierra: Scoping update 2/14/13

Scoping has been set-up for the UAL Catalog. Members of the Scoping Implementation Task Force will start testing to make sure scopes are working as intended. We will be testing on the staging server and not the live server. The only change you should notice at this time is the end of the permanent URLS has changed from S0 to S24.  Older links with permanent URLS ending in S0  still work.

Sierra: LC Call number searching and display issues in catalog

As reported on 1/17/13 there is a problem with LC call number searches and record displays in the catalog.  Both issues are in review with software engineering, which means III is working on a fix for both issues.

Here is a work around to search by LC Call number and display the correct record:

Example: You need to retrieve QA164 R43.

  • Search the LC index for QA 164.
  • Browse the list until you find QA164 R43.
  • Click on the entry above – QA164 .P635 2010eb.
  • After you click on QA164 .P635 2010eb you will retrieve QA164 R43.

If you have any questions click on Reply, type your question and I’ll get back to you.
