Hi Jane and all. It would be really great if you folks could make it more of a priority to list your projects on bugzilla so other projects don't conflict with work PTFS is already engaged in. I think my consortium might be engaging another vendor to do work very similar to this. Some coordination beforehand would have been nice.

It's just been a question of staff time and rapidly moving code/specs. For the patron searching enhancement, the screen looks like this: The pulldown in the top search box has Standard (covers name and barcode), borrower number, email, and phone. If the staff person is familiar with the SQL, he/she can also do a direct query in the bottom box. You'll note a Borrower Cart in the screenshot - a separate enhancement we're working on has some batch edit/delete capabilities for records that are selected and added to the cart. That code is also still in test. Jane Wagner Library Systems Analyst PTFS Inc.

Not an immediate solution, but we do have an enhancement in testing right
now that has some advanced patron searching possibilities including
truncation, searching by partial phone/email, and SQL searching.
That sounds great Jane. Can you create an enhancement bug for it so that others can see it's being worked on? Will it be just a change to the way the search works now, or will it include other methods of searching patrons, like an advanced search screen?
