Active Issues
The following items saw significant progress / activity during the past month; some activity was due to Demian reviewing old inactive JIRA tickets in an attempt to clean things up:
- ArchivesSpace integration: #1469 - there has been some discussion about MARC vs. EAD import procedures.
- HathiTrust record preview tab: VUFIND-1329 - there has been discussion about expanding the scope of this ticket to add additional preview tabs when available.
- Horizon driver date handling bug: VUFIND-1166 - this ILS driver bug fix has been marked as our most critical issue in JIRA for several years, but nobody has fixed it; it has been downgraded in severity, but if there are still Horizon users out there, please comment on the ticket so it can move forward.
- More print buttons: VUFIND-282 - this very old ticket requests more print buttons in the interface; we should either implement (if needed) or close (if not); please weigh in with opinions on the ticket.
- Selective dissemination of information (SDI): #1440 -
