Advanced Cataloging.
1. Issues that prevented printing more than the first page of results have been addressed in Find/Replace.

2. In Collections, the page no longer shifts up when changing the search attributes or operators.

3. The Patron Overlay has been reverted to earlier handling in scoped environments. Patron records will

overlay based on a barcode match – barcodes will not be reused (duplicated).
4. In a scoped database, 995#a is added to imported records that do not have 852 fields, to facilitate finding

those records

Catalog.
1. In Expanded Labeled format, the label for Series did not show, unless there was a subfield ‘v’ in the record.

2. There is now an ‘Add Record’ in the dropdown under Catalog below the Advanced Cataloging entry.

3. The Reading Program selection and range are now applied to the Enhanced Search.

4. When adding an 852 field to an existing bibliographic record, if a duplicate barcode is used, the user will

now get the warning that the barcode is a duplicate.
5. When the currently selected database was other than the first default database, Add Record would save to

the first default data – not to the current database.
6. Long queries in Visual Search that included quoted phrases returned ‘No Results’ erroneously.

7. The Availability count on the Results page was incorrect in some cases where there were deleted holdings.

8. On scoped databases, deleted holdings were returned in patron queries.

9. The columns in the holdings list in the Details view are now sortable.

10. The Library Assistant has been added to the footer when there is a privileged logon.

11. The Setup Options page has been redesigned.

12. The Sort Formulas and All Material Types have been removed from Setup, since their configuration is

defined in the schema.

Circulation.
1. In Return mode, the user gets a message when a missing item without transactions is returned, and the

status is changed to ‘normal’.
2. The Title can be redacted in notification emails. In the Notification Email section of global.ini, use ‘mask bib

title=true’
3. When clicking Override on a missing item in Loan mode, the transaction was not created. It was necessary

to rescan the item.
4. When emailing receipts, an issue that caused the first receipt to be sent on each subsequent transaction

has been resolved.
5. An issue that caused Upload Transactions to hang has been addressed.

6. The Circulation UI has been improved.

Group Editor.
Record Editor would not launch on patron and item members of Special Reserve groups.

Record Editor.
1. When deleting the barcode subfield from a holding, the corresponding barcode record was not flagged as

detached, preventing reuse of the barcode.
