[opal_migration_leads] [EXTERNAL SENDER] new book shelf / display

[Skirvin, Laurence T.]

Hi Lauren,

My plan is like what your link does.  We are going to have a New Book Shelf location code and then set it as a temporary location for our new books.  I'll probably have a few trusted students who I will have to change the new books to the temporary location after they are processed and ready to be put on the new book shelf.  Honestly, I'm not sure if there is any other way to do this.

Laurence

Hi all,
Has anyone investigated how they will process books for their "new books shelf" if you use that? It seems like we will need an Alma location for this. See some other library workflows:
https://sunybroome.libguides.com/c.php?g=927845&p=6700282
https://emory.screenstepslive.com/s/alma/m/stacks/l/522559-adding-and-removing-items-from-a-temporary-location

(These are essentially the same process - and would be similar for putting things on display which would also need a location -?)
My understanding from yesterday's meeting is that we can add locations in Alma at this time and they will be retained as part of our configuration at cutover. Since there's nothing in Sierra that will match, it will just be an empty location until we start entering new things in Alma.

Any thoughts on this?
Thanks! Lauren
