      Does this mean that you can set a preference to fill local holds first? I don't really understand these checkin modifiers...

Each day, sessions begin and end at: Pacific: 7am - 3pm Mountain: 8am - 4pm Central: 9am - 5 pm Eastern: 10am - 6pm Description: Many libraries are considering moving away from traditional classification systems like Dewey or LC in favor of word-based systems based on BISAC, a classification scheme used by book retailers and publishers. Reclassifying a library collection takes thought, planning, courage, and sweat. How can a word-based classification system benefit your customers? Join the conversation and talk to other libraries who have already ditched Dewey or are considering making the switch. Topics for discussion may include: Why switch to a BISAC-based system? Adapting BISAC for the needs of your customers Planning the conversion process Tips, tricks, and FAQs for reclassifying collections Using BISAC for collection development Rethinking the 'flow' of your nonfiction collection Merchandising with BISAC BISAC and the MARC record Leveraging BISAC in the OPAC to add discovery points Logan Macdonald is the Collection Development Manager for Anythink Libraries in Adams County, Colorado.

  • The screen captures are fascinating — watch below as an off-campus user searches the library home page for the correct place to do an author search in the library catalog
  • Be prepared; watching a series of videos of unassisted users can dismantle your or your web committee’s cherished notions about how users navigate your site.
  • Paid accounts also have access to real time analytics, so libraries would be able to get a montage of what’s happening in the lobby as it is happening. Imagine being able to walk out and announce a “pop-up library workshop” on using the library catalog effectively after seeing the twentieth person fumble through the OPAC.

    Describes the use of analytics tools such as Inspectlet, ClickTale, userfly, and more; it includes a nice little comparison table of features. Particularly cool are the real time screenshots and heatmaps depicting page use.
