Serials: dojo/autogrid-based scaffolding for building serials objects
Accessible from the staff client OPAC browser's "Actions for this Record" menu
as "Alternate Serial Control", these minimalist interfaces should support a
workflow by which the user can create a subscription and its related parts
(distributions, streams, etc), and get things going in a quick and dirty way
while the existing Serial Control View continues to develop.
Some notable differences in orientation between this and the existing
interface work include:
- The disuse of call numbers on distributions, instead favoring call number
application to items by issuance at receive time (i.e., all copies of
the Sep 2010 issue of Popular Mechanics share a call number rather than
all copies of Popular Mechanics, any issue, at a given library sharing a
call number).
- Lack of attention to binding (although the batch receive interface will
treat each item as a single bound unit, for barcoding, or will avoid
creating units altogether if you don't want to barcode your serials).
If this doesn't sound like the way you would do serials, I'd definitely
recommend sticking with Serials Control View and ignoring these interfaces.
Dan Wells' interface work promises broader functionality in the long run.
