The following updates have been made: + + * The term 'item' is now consistently used to describe the barcoded entity +that had been previously been called both an 'item' and a 'copy'. As a result, +we now use the terms 'item buckets', 'item tags', and 'item alerts'. + * The term 'volume' is no longer used in the client, with the exception of +serials, where the term is used to describe serial volumes. The term 'call +number' will replace volume in most other places. + *'Holdings' is a more general term used to describe a combination of items +and call numbers. + * The term 'Shelving Location' is used consistently in favor of 'Copy +Location.' +
