spurioso / citationsfrombarcodes Goto Github PK

Most useful would be:

Aleph number, OCLC Number, ISBN, Barcode,
Citation, wcl link, opac link, location info

Change Aleph's default locations to something more human readable: STACK = Stacks, REF = Reference, RDREF = Paged Collections Room, Ask at Circulation Desk.

You need to fix the permissions on the .ini file.

Add CSS to change font to preferred font for emailing in Outlook. Currently Calibri 11.
Move Aleph find, present, and item data, and Worldcat API call for citation, to separate functions for reusability and readability

You used Break incorrectly. I think you mean Die(error message). Need to handle errors for unfound barcodes better.

oclc number and aleph number input would be nice

Look at simple test for this.

Right now it only works for College Park barcodes (starting 3 1430...). Other campuses have different patterns. Need to find the patterns and then let the script recognize the patterns and change the Aleph X-services base= parameter accordingly.

*(the 2051 prefix was added in 2011 for UB & BL patrons. I don't know if it is used for items or not--looking at a couple of recent acquisitions for each campus, it does not appear to be.)

**(according to the 2007 chart, some Shady Grove items had 1432 barcodes. I do not know if these were re-coded or not.)
