These locations could be folder trees, static files, non-Evergreen +dynamic content, or other Apache features/modules. It is intended as a more +patron-oriented and transparent version of the OpenILS::WWW::Proxy and +OpenILS::WWW:Proxy::Authen modules. + +Instead of using Basic Authentication the AccessHandler module instead redirects +to the OPAC for login. Once logged in additional checks can be performed, based +on configured variables: + + * Permission Checks (at Home OU or specified location) + * Home OU Checks (Org Unit or Descendant) + * "Good standing" Checks (Not Inactive or Barred) + +Use of the module is a simple addition to a Location block in Apache: + +[source,conf] + + PerlAccessHandler OpenILS::WWW::AccessHandler + # For each option you wish to set: + PerlSetVar OPTION "VALUE" + + +The available options are: + +OILSAccessHandlerLoginURL:: + Default: /eg/opac/login + + The page to redirect to when Login is needed +OILSAccessHandlerLoginURLRedirectVar:: + Default: redirect_to + + The variable the login page wants the "destination" URL stored in +OILSAccessHandlerFailURL:: + Default: + + URL to go to if Permission, Good Standing, or Home OU checks fail. If not set + a 403 error is generated instead. To customize the 403 you could use an + ErrorDocument statement. +OILSAccessHandlerCheckOU:: + Default: + + Org Unit to check Permissions at and/or to load Referrer from. Can be a + shortname or an ID. +OILSAccessHandlerPermission:: + Default: + + Permission, or comma- or space-delimited set of permissions, the user must have to + access the protected area. +OILSAccessHandlerGoodStanding:: + Default: 0 + + If set to a true value the user must be both Active and not Barred. +OILSAccessHandlerHomeOU:: + Default: + + An Org Unit, or comma- or space-delimited set of Org Units, that the user's Home OU must + be equal to or a descendant of to access this resource. Can be set to + shortnames or IDs. +OILSAccessHandlerReferrerSetting:: + Default: + + Library Setting to pull a forced referrer string out of, if set. + +As the AccessHandler module does not actually serve the content it is +protecting, but instead merely hands control back to Apache when it is done +authenticating, you can protect almost anything else you can serve with Apache. + +Use Cases ++++++++++ +The general use of this module is "protect access to something else" - what that +something else is will vary. Some possibilities: + + * Apache features + ** Automatic Directory Indexes + ** Proxies (see below) + *** Electronic Databases + *** Software on other servers/ports + * Non-Evergreen software + ** Timekeeping software for staff + ** Specialized patron request packages + * Static files and folders + ** Semi-public Patron resources + ** Staff-only downloads + +Proxying Websites ++++++++++++++++++ +One potentially interesting use of the AccessHandler module is to protect an +Apache Proxy configuration. For example, after installing and enabling +mod_proxy, mod_proxy_http, and mod_proxy_html you could proxy websites like so: + +[source,conf] +---- + + # Base "Rewrite URLs" configuration + ProxyHTMLLinks a href + ProxyHTMLLinks area href + ProxyHTMLLinks link href + ProxyHTMLLinks img src longdesc usemap + ProxyHTMLLinks object classid codebase data usemap + ProxyHTMLLinks q cite + ProxyHTMLLinks blockquote cite + ProxyHTMLLinks ins cite + ProxyHTMLLinks del cite + ProxyHTMLLinks form action + ProxyHTMLLinks input src usemap + ProxyHTMLLinks head profile + ProxyHTMLLinks base href + ProxyHTMLLinks script src for + + # To support scripting events (with ProxyHTMLExtended On) + ProxyHTMLEvents onclick ondblclick onmousedown onmouseup \ + onmouseover onmousemove onmouseout onkeypress \ + onkeydown onkeyup onfocus onblur onload \ + onunload onsubmit onreset onselect onchange + + # Limit all Proxy connections to authenticated sessions by default + PerlAccessHandler OpenILS::WWW::AccessHandler + + # Strip out Evergreen cookies before sending to remote server + RequestHeader edit Cookie "^(.*?)ses=.*?(?:$|;)(.*)$" $1$2 + RequestHeader edit Cookie "^(.*?)eg_loggedin=.*?(?:$|;)(.*)$" $1$2 + + + + # Proxy example.net + ProxyPass http://www.example.net/ + ProxyPassReverse http://www.example.net/ + ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain example.net example.com + ProxyPassReverseCookiePath / /proxy/example/ + + ProxyHTMLEnable On + ProxyHTMLURLMap http://www.example.net/ /proxy/example/ + ProxyHTMLURLMap / /proxy/mail/ + ProxyHTMLCharsetOut * + + # Limit to BR1 and BR3 users + PerlSetVar OILSAccessHandlerHomeOU "BR1,BR3" + +---- + +As mentioned above, this can be used for multiple reasons. In addition to +websites such as online databases for patron use you may wish to proxy software +for staff or patron use to make it appear on your catalog domain, or perhaps to +keep from needing to open extra ports in a firewall. + + + + +Deleted flag for copy locations +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +A deleted flag is now available for copy locations, allowing them to be +"deleted" without losing statistical information for circulations in a given +copy location. It also allows copy locations that are only used by deleted +items to be deleted. + +When a copy location is deleted, it will remain in the database, but will be +removed from display in the staff client and the catalog. + + + + + +New TPAC config option: Show more details +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +There is a new option for TPAC to show more details by default. + +The Option for full details as a default, which may be especially important +for e-content. Valid values are 'true', 'false' and 'hide'. + +Setting this to 'true' shows full details by default but allows the link +to appear for 'Show Fewer Details'. The 'hide' option shows full details +and also suppresses the link from displaying at all. + +Look for "show_more_details.default" in config.tt2. + + + + +Cataloging +~~~~~~~~~~ + + + +==== Vandelay Authority Record Match Sets ==== + +Vandelay MARC Batch Import/Export now supports match sets for authority +record import matching. Matches can be made against MARC tag/subfield +entries and against a record's normalized heading + thesaurus. Internal +identifier (901c) matches are also supported. + +===== UI Modifications ===== + + * Authority matches display the normalized heading/thesuarus for each + match. + * Item import summary is not displayed for authority queues, since + items cannot be imported with authority records. + + + + + +Circulation +~~~~~~~~~~~ + + + +Active date display in OPAC +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +If a library uses the copy's active date to calculate holds age protection, +the active date will display with the copy details instead of the create date +in the staff client view of the catalog. Libraries that do not enable the +_Use Active Date for Age Protection_ library setting will continue to display +the create date. + + + + +Option to stop billing activity on zero-balance billed transactions +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +A new setting is available via the Library Settings Editor to stop any billing +activity on fully-paid lost or longoverdue transactions. When the _Do not +change fines/fees on zero-balance LOST transaction_ setting is enabled, once a +lost of long overdue transaction +has been fully paid, no more lost fees will be voided or overdue fines restored +or generated if the item is returned. The setting will reduce, though not +eliminate, negative balances in the system. + +New Library Setting ++++++++++++++++++++ + * Do not change fines/fees on zero-balance LOST transaction (circ.checkin.lost_zero_balance.do_not_change') - When an item has been marked lost and all +fines/fees have been completely paid on the transaction, do not void or +reinstate any fines/fees EVEN IF circ.void_lost_on_checkin and/or +circ.void_lost_proc_fee_on_checkin are enabled. + + + + +Patron Message Center +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +There is now a new mechanism via which messages can be sent to +patrons for them to read while logged into the public catalog. + +Patron messages can be generated in two ways: when a new public +note is added to the patron's record, and when an A/T event +that is configured to generate messages is processed. Three +new default A/T event definitions are added to generate +patron messages when a hold is canceled due to lack of a target, +staff action, or the item expiring on the shelf. + +In the public catalog, patrons can read their messages, mark +one or more messages as read or unread, or delete messages that +they do not want to see again. The XUL staff client has a new +menu option on the patron display, "Message Center", that allows +staff to view messages. Messages are intentionally not meant +to be editable by patrons or library staff. + +During upgrade, existing public patron notes that are marked +public are copied over as new patron messages that are marked +as read. + +There are four new fields available in the A/T event definition: + + * Message Title + * Message Template + * Message Library Path + * Message User Path + +If these four fields are set, when the A/T event is processed, +a message is generated in addition to whatever reactor is +specified by the event definition. This means that, for example, +an email overdue notice can also generate a message that the +patron can view in the public catalog. + + + + +Void Lost and Long Overdue Bills on Claims Returned +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +Four new settings have been added to allow sites to void lost item and long +overdue billings and processing fees when an item is marked as Claims Returned. + +New Library Settings +++++++++++++++++++++ + * Void lost item billing when claims returned (circ.void_lost_on_claimsreturned) + * Void lost item processing fee when claims returned (circ.void_lost_proc_fee_on_claimsreturned) + * Void long overdue item billing when claims returned (circ.void_longoverdue_on_claimsreturned) + * Void long overdue item processing fee when claims returned (circ.void_longoverdue_proc_fee_on_claimsreturned) + + + + + + + +OPAC +~~~~ + + + +TPAC Discoverability Enhancements +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +A number of discoverability enhancements have been made to the catalog +to better support search engines: + + * Titles of catalog pages now follow a "Page title - Library name" pattern + to provide more specific titles in search results, bookmarks, and browser + tabs. + * The OpenSearch title now specifies the library name instead of the generic + "Evergreen OpenSearch" at every scope. + * Subject headings are now exposed as http://schema.org/about[schema:about] + properties instead of http://schema.org/keyword[schema:keyword]. + * Electronic resources are now assigned a http://schema.org/url[schema:url] + property, and any notes or link text are assigned a + http://schema.org/description[schema:description] property. + * Given a Library of Congress relator code for 1xx and 7xx fields, we now + surface the URL for that relator code along with + the http://schema.org/contributor[schema:contributor] property to give + machines a better chance of understanding how the person or organization + actually contributed to this work. + * Linking out to related records: + ** Given an LCCN (010 field), we link to the corresponding Library of Congress + record using http://schema.org/sameAs[schema:sameAs]. + ** Given an OCLC number (035 field, subfield `a` beginning with `(OCoLC)`), we + link to the corresponding WorldCat record using + http://schema.org/sameAs[schema:sameAs]. + ** Given a URI (024 field, subfield 2 = `'uri'`), we link to the + corresponding OCLC Work Entity record using + http://schema.org/exampleOfWork[schema:exampleOfWork]. + * The sitemap generator script now includes located URIs as well as copies + listed in the `asset.opac_visible_copies` materialized view, and checks + the children or ancestors of the requested libraries for holdings as well. + * Links that robots should not crawl, such as search result links, are now + marked with the https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/96569?hl=en[@rel="nofollow"] + property. + * Catalog pages for record details and for library descriptions now express + a https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/139066?hl=en[@rel="canonical"] + link to simplify the number of variations of page URLs that could otherwise + have been derived from different search parameters. + * Catalog pages that do not exist now return a proper 404 "HTTP_NOT_FOUND" + HTTP status code, and record detail pages for records that have been deleted + now return a proper 410 "HTTP_GONE" HTTP status code, instead of returning a + misleading 200 "OK" HTTP status code. + * Record detail and library pages now include http://ogp.me/[Open Graph Protocol] + markup. + + + + +Add new link to My Lists in My Account +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +There is now a direct link to "My Lists" from the "My Account" area in the +top upper-right part of the screen. This gives users the ability to quickly +access their lists while logged into the catalog. + + + + +Permalinks +^^^^^^^^^^ +The record summary page will now offer a link to a shorter permalink that +can be used for sharing the record with others. All URL parameters are stripped +from the link with the exception of the locg and copy_depth parameters. Those +parameters are maintained so that people can share a link that displays just +the holdings from one library/system or displays holdings from all libraries +with a specific library's holdings floating to the top. + + + + +Staff option to place another hold on same title +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +When a hold is successful in the client, staff will now see a link +to place another hold on the same title. This link provides some workflow +improvement for times when staff are placing holds for multiple patrons on a +newly-added title or when they are placing holds for book clubs. + + + + + +Removal of Bib Call Number Search +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +The Bib Call Number Search has been removed as a default numeric search in +the catalog. Evergreen sites that wish to restore this search to the catalog +can add the following to the numeric_qtype menu in the numeric.tt2 file. + +---- + +---- + + + + +Improved styling on Text call number screen +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +New styling on the _Text call number_ screen has added highlighting to the +displayed message, makes the font consistent with other text on the screen, and +displays better on mobile devices. + + + + +Miscellaneous +------------- + +IMPORTANT SECURITY INFORMATION +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +A serious security flaw that allows unauthorized remote access to +organizational unit settings is fixed in the following releases of +Evergreen: 2.5.9, 2.6.7, and 2.7.4. All prior releases of Evergreen +are vulnerable to exploitation of this flaw to reveal sensitive system +information.
