font-family:Arial'>My name is Brad Weishaupt, and I am with a new small
seminary (master’s-level theological school) that is one year old and under
the help and support of four churches. The classes meet in four different
cities connected by videoconferencing technology. I am in South Florida USA (in
Jupiter, near <st1:City w:st="on">West Palm Beach</st1:City>), and we have two
other campuses in <st1:State w:st="on">Florida</st1:State> and one in <st1:State
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Arkansas</st1:place></st1:State>. The professor
can be in one city and some students are there plus the rest in three other
towns. The library is split up accordingly, but its even more complicated than
that. I am not a librarian (I’m a techie-musician, but put in charge of
this), so I am learning as I go here.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>We are just starting to catalog our library, and have
enlisted the aid of LibLime and Koha to do so. We are a unique (I think)
situation – we have a multiple-dispersed library. Under the one umbrella of
The Expositors Seminary Library, we have four locations for that library. Also,
we are cataloging for student use the church libraries at each location. Also
for student use, we are cataloging the pastor/staff members’ individual
libraries at each church/city. So we have a combined total library, a seminary
library in four distinct locations, four church libraries and 10 or so
individual staff libraries, for a total of about 16,000 volumes. I will be
setting up student records to use their seminary library as their “home”
library for default searches (as that will be their main usage), but they will
also want access to any other or multiples of any libraries. We want to be able
to search the entire library, any particular library, or any library in the
student’s hometown.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I noticed in setup exploration that a library can belong to
a GROUP. I setup all my libraries under a group of their city name. The staff
page search has the ability to do searches specifying a group. The OPAC does
not. This would really be important to our students, to be able to specify a
search on books in their own city (Group). <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The programming coding is already done – it is on the
staff page. How hard would it be to copy that code to the OPAC page, so
students could set a search parameter on group? Seems like it would be a
relatively easy copy and paste function, wouldn’t it? (heh-heh! I know
programming is seldom that easy!) Does anyone else find value in this function
being added to the OPAC search page? Has anyone already done this? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
