14:01 equinoxe   Hi all - hopefully a quick question... are there any logs associated with Marc imports that might tell me why items are failing to import?
14:06 equinoxe   the biblio records are being created ok but nothing in biblioitems
14:38 jcamins    equinoxe: There are no logs that I'm aware of. As an aside, biblioitems stores bib-level data, not item-level data.
14:39 equinoxe   Thanks - sorry I meant items..
14:39 equinoxe   I think I have found the cause - many thanks

21:37 wizzyrea   I totally buy that, it was hot this morning.l
21:55 jcamins    wizzyrea: I have learned something valuable. I have learned that if someone tells me they are allergic to "sulfites," I should ask for clarification about that, because they might not realize that geeks like me will look up what compounds are in every single type of food and then assume everything with any sulfite is dangerous.
21:56 wizzyrea   lol.
21:56 jcamins    I thought I should share this, so that you know to ask for clarification next time someone tells you they're allergic to something like "sulfites."
21:56 wizzyrea   So I take it that meant that wine was out, but cream of tartare was ok?
21:56 jcamins    She eats potatoes and strawberries, both of which have sulfites.
21:57 jcamins    Cream of tartar probably would've have been okay, but basically any fruit other than apples or bananas would've been fine.
21:57 wizzyrea   that is a good tip
21:57 jcamins    *wouldn't
21:57 jcamins    Because it's not sulfites *per se* it's the industrial formulations that are in common use that she's allergic to.
21:57 wizzyrea   I express my deepest empathy to people who have that level allergy.
21:58 jcamins    Though blueberries turned out to be a good choice.
21:59 * wizzyrea just read a report from 1997 that says "software library systems are not yet common or mature"
21:59 wizzyrea   how far we've come.
21:59 jcamins    lol
22:05 eythian    I'm pretty sure they weren't uncommon in '97...
22:06 wizzyrea   i know my city and school libraries both had them, even back into the 80's, and that's kansas.
22:07 jcamins    I remember using the card catalog.
22:07 wizzyrea   well the city library probably didn't have one until the early 90's
22:07 jcamins    But I was probably about 3.
22:07 jcamins    FWIW
22:07 wizzyrea   but the school did because I remember the magic laser wand.
22:08 jcamins    Were lucky students selected to wand books each library session? I feel like I've heard people reminiscing about how they got to be library helper in grade school.
22:17 eythian    I did that in ... intermediate school (I think everyone did it on a bit of a rotation). I think it was manual though. I remember stamps and cards in the back.
22:29 wizzyrea   you could be a library aide and get to do circ :)
22:37 eythian    It wasn't a big school
22:37 wizzyrea   neither was mine.
22:37 wizzyrea   maybe 200 students grates k-8?
22:39 eythian    This was bigger than that, 200 for form 1 and 2.
22:39 jcamins    Pfft. You want small? Try three students grades 4-12! :P
22:39 eythian    WEll, the same, but over fewer years :)
22:39 eythian    Yeah, I had a friend who went to one of those, then they closed and joined the school I was at.
22:40 jcamins    Heh. My brothers went to hs.
