Re: [IUG] Enabling bookcart

[Phil Shirley <pshirley at cuyahogafallslibrary dot org>]

We never bought that product (to export bibliographies from the opac) 
but within the last couple of years I noticed that this functionality or 
similar was available to us so I turned it on.  We can add titles to a 
book cart, "view saved", & view and export or view and request saved 
records.

This broke when we upgraded to 2007 (you didn't see a book cart icon 
next to each title); the help desk fixed it, saying it had to do with a 
wrong configuration of the system in regard to exporting bib records.
