Re: [IUG] History question: Request Feature

["Card, Sandra" <scard at exchange dot calstatela dot edu>]

 I can provide this much info:

at least as of Release 6 (1990)the request feature was available, as an
option controlled locally.  However, at that time the requests always
went into a file to be reviewed by staff; automatic request processing
was not yet available.  By 1995, automatic request processing also was
available as an option, to be setup by III.  Don't know exactly when
automatic request processing actually became available, just that it was
around by 1995.

I know in our history we went back and forth.  I originally had the
Request option turned on; for some reason either circulation or
reference objected and it was turned off.  Later it was turned on again.

[Hmmm... maybe I should start writing down a history/log of our local
III system decisions and timeline too.]

Subject: [IUG] History question: Request Feature

I'm trying to put together a timeline of key events in our use of the
III system.  Can anyone tell me if the Request feature has always been a
part of Innopac (before the Web Opac)?  I know Berkeley Public went live
with III in 1991, but I'm not sure if we started out with the Request
feature.

 

Thanks,
