It seems as if some of the vufind functionality is not working in RC1. Please advise the best solution to handling some of these issues: 1.) Submitting favorites doesn¹t seem to be completely implemented. I had to manually update the code in order to get this to work. Also, when tagging items when submitting a favorite¹ it doesn¹t like keep multiple tags, it will only take the first tag and add it to the database. When viewing My Favorites¹ I cannot use multiple filters from my tags. 2.) Export to RefWorks does not work. Does any one have any solutions? 3.) How will the update process work? We are looking at running a live beta of RC1, when RC2 or the Production version is release I don¹t want to loose any of the user data stored in the database. Are the table stuctures changing between any of the RC releases? If so, will these be a way to install the new versions with out loosing any of the user data?

Phil - Please record all bugs in JIRA linked from the vufind support page. Anything that you want to fix yourself, assign the bug to yourself. If you have any patches, feel free to submit them as well in JIRA. RefWorks export is broken - I know some of the folks at Yale had a minor fix for this I believe there will be a database structure change from RC1 to RC2. I will include a database update script in the release.

We are a Voyager site, with the Journal title left anchored index in the classic WebOPAC. As we migrate to VUfind, keenly interested in retaining the journal title index, I see at: NLA >> title/journal_newspaper Villanova >> Journal title I assume both were created by crossing the title index with (Leader/07 is "s" OR 006/00 is "s") AND (008/21 is "p"+ Leader/06 is "a") AND (Leader/07 is "s" and 008/21 is n). I have a couple of questions: >> since the index relies on accurate MARC data in the Leader and 006/008 fixed fields, was there any management needed for updating the MARC records before indexing? if yes, which? >> was the Villanova index created as a separate index, or is similar in essence to the NLA principle (without the newspapers)? if not, how was it created? Thank you kindly, Ya¹aqov Ziso, eResources-Serials, Rowan University |

Ya'aqov - The Villanova "journal title" search was created from demand from our staff who was used to using the Journal Title search. Old habits die hard :) All we did was create a canned advanced search that automatically includes a facet for "Journal". No code was changed - just a bit of javascript. Feel free to steal it.

uncool URIs (posted on December 19, 2008, 10:32 pm, by Ed Summers, under Uncategorized, lcsh, semweb) On December 18th I was asked to shut off lcsh.info by the Library of Congress. As an LC employee I really did not have much choice other than to comply. The lcsh.info domain was registered by me in order to demonstrate how the Library of Congress Subject Headings could be represented as a Semantic Web application using SKOS . In particular I was eager to get feedback on how the data was being published with respect to Linked Data best practices. I got lots of great feedback, wrote a paper which I presented at DC2008, and learned that other institutions like the W3C and the Royal Library of Sweden were beginning to use URIs for concepts from lcsh.info in their metadata ......... see more >> http://lcsh.info/ ================== Ya'aqov Ziso, eResources Librarian, Rowan University |

Ya'aqov, I would also note that I personally feel that a "Journal Title" search (like the one we made at Villanova) actually undermines the design of a system like VuFind. (For political reasons, i.e. the librarians were accustom to the option, we had to put it in...) Another problem we noticed after launching that journal title search, which I am temporarily removing, is that our import script mapped eJournals to a format of "Electronic" rather than "Journal" in the SOLR index. So, the Journal title search is currently missing a lot of our content until we have time to reindex our site during the winter break.

Phil, I have done some work with the RefWorks exports and would be more than happy to share what we have done with you and the (tech list?) as a whole. Our implementation of RefWorks exports is not perfect (I've heard there can be an issue with diacritics), but it's pretty simple and dirty. ( see any record at http://searchworks.stanford.edu/ ) Let me know if your interested. -Jessie Keck Stanford University Philip Shafer wrote: > It seems as if some of the vufind functionality is not working in RC1. > Please advise the best solution to handling some of these issues: > > 1.)
