New Features

Project Boxes

 

We’re very excited to announce that we have added the ability to use Project Boxes. This has been a long requested feature that was previously only available in the lesser known Eclipse Professional, mainly used by Schools Library Services.

 

What are Project Boxes?

Project Boxes are a collection of resources issued as one item. As such they can be thought of as a physical box that someone has put several books into. They are mainly used to issue a collection of related resources, so if say a school is carrying out a project on Romans they could ask their local SLS for a Project Box containing a number of books on Romans. The SLS then issues them a Project Box rather than having to keep track of potentially hundreds of separate items issued within it. This is very useful if they have common projects / collections that are often borrowed.

 

 

How do you add Project Boxes?

When adding a new resource we have changed the screen slightly to make space for the new Project Box option which now appears at the end of the list:

 

 

Clicking on the option will open the New Project Box screen:

 

 

From here customers can set the Box Number (barcode), Type and Item Capacity.

 

Types:

Permanent = Box stays in system forever.

Temporary = Box is deleted after it has been issued and returned.

 

Clicking Continue will open the record card:

 

 

From here the normal fields can be filled in and the items can either be added using the Add button, or simply by scanning the barcodes while the record card is open.

 

As items are added a counter is available at the bottom to show the current number of items:

 

 

Naturally the number of items cannot exceed the Item Capacity set for the box, so attempting to do this will prompt asking if you want to increase the capacity:

 

 

 

Adding items to an already existing Project Box

You can also add items to a Project box from the main resources grid. To do this simply search for and then flag the items you would like to add and a new option Add to Project Box will appear over on the right.

 

 

Clicking this will open the below screen with details of the items to add and allowing you to select an existing Project Box.

 

NOTE: It is not possible to add items to a new Project Box. The Project Box has to be created first to add items from the main grid.

 

 

To add these items first click on Find. This will then display a list of all current Project Boxes in the system:

 

 

Select one and a summary is then displayed showing the Project Boxes’ current number of items, capacity and how many new items you have selected to add.

 

 

NOTE: Invalid items would list any items that cannot be added to a Project Box, such as virtual items.

 

If the number to be added exceeds the capacity it will ask if this should be increased:

 

 

Clicking Yes will then add the items to the Project Box.

 

 

How do I know which items are already in a Project Box?

We have added another colour status to resources in the main grid. There are now 5 different status colours:

 

1.Black – Normal Item with no special status

1.Blue – Item is on loan

1.Red – Item is on loan and overdue

1.Green – Item is reserved

1.Orange – Item is part of a Project Box

 

 

 

How do you issue Project Boxes?

Project Boxes are issued in exactly the same way as normal items. Simply scanning the Box Number will issue the item and list not only the Project Box but also all the items contained.

 

NOTE: Once an item is added to a Project Box it cannot be issued as an individual item until the item is removed from the box.

 

 

 

How do you return Project Boxes?

Returning a Project Box is slightly different from normal items as customers may want to confirm that all the items are in the box that has been returned. As such when you scan the barcode, or select the item in Circulate and click Return, it will open the Project Box record card:

 

 

From in here customers can then either:

1.Press Trusted to perform a trusted check in (this auto returns the items assuming all items are contained within it).

1.Manually check the items are returned by:

a.Selecting each item and clicking Check In

a.Scanning the barcodes of each item

a.Searching for items and then clicking Check In

 

For option 2 the system will automatically mark the Project Box as returned once all items have been checked off, and a message confirming this will appear.

 

 

NOTE: You cannot return individual items from a Project Box in the main Circulate window. You have to return the Box.

 

 

How do you set restrictions for Project Boxes?

These are managed in exactly the same way as for all other resource types. Options have been added to the various areas that govern restrictions so they can be set as normal.

It then fires off a request to encrypt the data (there is no on-screen progress for this and the system can be used as normal while this completes). After it has finished the data in the DB will be encrypted:

 

 

Unticking the box and applying again will decrypt the data.

 

 

Notes:

·Active Directory LogonNames will not encrypt. If an account is AD linked it will just encrypt the password (if a separate one is stored).

·If logonnames are encrypted you can no longer perform advanced searches on this field, or display the unencrypted values in pageviews / reports.

New Features

 

Setting multiple items as Missing

By popular demand we have added the ability to set multiple items as missing.

 

This works in a very similar way to returning / renewing multiple items through Management.

 

To start the process flag multiple records within Resources or Current Loans, this can be completed using the new Ctrl & Shift selection method or the Flag by Mouse option.

 

Once the required items are selected click on Missing and a new screen will come up. This shows the number of Resources selected and allows a  Missing Reason to be entered:

 

 

Clicking on OK will try to mark the items as missing and a summary screen will be displayed:

 

 

If for any reason the system required more information (such as whether to return an on-loan item first, or charge a pupil for the replacement) this will be displayed in the summary screen:

 

 

For these items a selection can be checked then custom actions applied using the Apply to Checked button, or the options can be applied to all using the Apply to All button. Clicking on either of these buttons will ask for confirmation that the selection is correct then show the Missing Details screen again with the options to Return Resource, Enter a Replacement Cost and enter a different Missing Reason (if required).

 

 

Clicking OK will then try to apply those details against the selected record(s). Each time this is carried out the selected record(s) will be moved to the list of successfully marked as missing items, so different selections of items can be chosen and different missing reasons / etc applied for each selection. Or just clicking on Apply to All will apply the details against all the remaining records.

Reading Lists

Note: Reading Lists is a feature that is only available through the Reading Cloud. As such while any users can create Reading Lists in Management they can only be accessed if you are using the Reading Cloud. For more information on Reading Cloud please click here, or contact your MLS Account Manager to request a free 30-day trial (Hosted users only).

 

Librarians and Teachers can now create Reading Lists which can be pushed out to specific Years / Tutor Groups / Subjects / Pupils and these lists can then be seen through Reading Cloud. Pupils can also create their own Reading Lists through the Reading Cloud interface.

 

On the Tools Menu a new option has been added Reading Lists:

 

 

Clicking on this option will open the below screen where Reading Lists can be created:

 

 

Clicking New will open the New Reading List screen:

 

 

Name = Names of the list as it will appear in the rest of the system.

Description = A description shown on the Reading Cloud for the list.

Items = The Add button will open the find resources screen used in all other areas so resources can be added to the list.

 

There are 4 types of lists that can be created:

 

1.Personal – Personal lists that are directly assigned to pupils. Personal lists will have the below options on the target tab, which opens the normal ‘find borrower’ screen to select borrowers.

 

2.Subject – A list of items that are assigned to a subject / subjects. All pupils who are taking that subject then inherit this list. The target tab will have the below options to assign subjects to the list.

 

3.Tutor Group – A list of items assigned to all members of a tutor group. The target tab allows the selection of groups, the lists are then inherited by members of these groups.

 

4.Year Group – Lists assigned to members of specific years. The target tab allows the selection of years, the lists are then inherited by members of these years.

 

 

Once setup these lists can be selected and setup against borrowers from the Borrower record card on a new tab called ‘other’:

 

Subjects = Area where you can assign subjects to a pupil / create subjects.

Reading List = Will show all reading lists that are available to assign to that pupil. Selected lists may show some greyed out lists (e.g. Year 6 above) these are lists that are inherited because of the year / tutor group / subject the borrower is in, as such they cannot be removed manually.

 

Subjects can be added from the Borrower – Other tab or through the Lookup Maintenance – Subjects area:

 

 

 

Pupils:

Pupils can create a reading list by opening any book / resource in the library. They will then see a new button Add to List:

 

 

Clicking on Add to List will open the below screen where they can choose to add the book to an existing list or create a new one (by typing in a name for it):

 

 

At the top of the screen, in the main bar, is a new option My Reading List:

 

 

Clicking on this will open a page showing the Reading Lists available to that person:

 

 

They can then click on the book jacket to open that book’s page, or click on the Reading List name to open the full list:

To enable this a setting has been added to the Management - Settings – General area called Allow Junior Reservation Printing:

 

 

When this is enabled (and Enable Auto Returns is enabled) upon returning a book the system will show the Returned message for X seconds then show the below prompt to print a reservation slip:

 

 

This then opens the reservation slip in a PDF viewer to then be printed.

 

Changed Features

 

Tutor Group – Link Form Tutor

When you link a borrower to a tutor group it now greys out the Tutor and Email boxes (to show they are not editable). An X button has also been added to clear this link.

 

 

Restrictions - Enable / Disable

The UI for restriction areas have been altered slightly to try and make it clearer when a restriction is active.

 

Now all restrictions areas have an icon next to them to Enable / Disable the restriction.

 

When enabled they are editable and have a ‘Disable Restriction’ next to them. When disabled they are greyed out and have an ‘Enable Restriction’ icon next to them.

New Features

 

Overdrive - Free Trial

 

 

MLS have teamed up with Overdrive to provide a trial of their eBooks system. The trial includes 1500 eBooks and other online content, consisting of many free titles as well as including some premium books (e.g. Harry Potter).

 

To enable the trial please use the below instructions.

 

Select Settings – Module Settings – Overdrive Settings:

 

This will open the below screen:

 

To enable the free trial click the ‘Enable Trial’ option, then select from the Trial Collection options:

 

 - All = All eBooks

 - Secondary = eBooks appropriate for secondary school pupils

 - Primary = eBooks appropriate for primary school pupils

 

 

When OK is pressed the system will then import the free sample of eBooks into the library system.

 

NOTE: This may take a few minutes and the library system may be slow to respond during this process. As a result we suggest it is carried out at the end of the day.

 

Once they have been imported, searching for and then clicking on a resource will open a new tab / window allowing the borrower to checkout the resource:

 

 

 

The borrower is then presented with the option to download or open the eBook. If the eBook is already checked out a message is shown advising this.

 

 

When using the free trial only 100 eBooks can be checked out at any time, limits on how many eBooks individual borrowers can checkout are handled through the normal restrictions system.

 

Items on loan will display in the Borrowers Current Loans, but cannot be renewed / returned through the library system. They are automatically returned after 7 days.
