Filter by language better. Currently it is a long alphabetical list of all languages in the world.
Can most common languages in the collection be at the top?
Or can just the languages in our collections appear?

I was contacted by ILL staff member who was trying to pull a 2012 article from: Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Section B, Biological Sciences on Course Reserves. Staff member was certain we had a current subscription but search in SFX showed that our access to this title ended in 1990. What they did not realize is that the current title is now: Proceedings. Biological Sciences. I was able to search ALEPH and review the 785 field to see what the current title was. (A similar thing occurs for the 3 other Royal Society publications: Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Section A, ...; Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Section A, ...; and Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Section B, ...)
'Commonly known as' title does not match the cataloged title. Users need to be able to see 780 and 785 fields in Inventory to trace 'Previous' and 'Later' titles in Inventory.
Some journals change their subtitles fairly frequently. Public services staff (ILL, Ref, Reserves) will find inventory helpful to track title changes when helping patrons find issues they need. (+1 from Ann) (+2 from MHC)
Some title change examples:
Journal of physics. A, Proceedings of the Physical Society: General -- Journal of physics. A, General physics (Proceedings of the Physical Society) -- Journal of physics. A, General Physics -- Journal of physics. A. Mathematical, nuclear and general -- Journal of physics. A, Mathematical and general -- (Cont by: Journal of physics. A, Mathematical and theoretical; and: Cont in part by: Classical and quantum gravity (I love this last title change with the addition continued in part by change)
Journal of the Chemical Society. Section D, Chemical communications -- Chemical communications -- Journal of the Chemical Society. Chemical communications -- Chemical communications: Chem comm
Cataloged titles for print and online differ. 776 field in Inventory will be useful to public services and technical services staff.
Print = Origins: CNS documentary service; and: Online = Originsonline.com: CNS documentary service (staff paying invoices need to find/see this)
Print = Eastern European politics and society; and: Online = East European politics and society (a subtle but important distinction for staff paying invoices)
I have not been following the discussions with the Record Merge group and I'm letting Laura take the lead with FOLIO Inventory. My FOLIO Inventory expertise is with print and online serials, databases, and the cataloging of eBooks. One thing I will need from Inventory is to be able to easily distinguish between print and online resources. If the old GMD (|h electronic resource) goes away with Record Merge and new cataloging does not contain this, I will need a way to distinguish between print and online titles (33x fields). For the cataloging of eBooks, I will need a way to check for the availability of print call numbers. Amherst adds call number information to our eBooks. These call numbers match except for the addition of 'eb' to the end of the eBooks call number. I'm not certain if there is a call number look-up function in FOLIO now. I will use inventory to search for print call numbers when I catalog eBooks.
Use Cases from Suzanne (Access) (+1 to all from Rachael)
A patron comes to the circulation desk and says they can’t find a music cd on the shelf. They don’t remember the title and all they have written down is the call number. I need to be able to search Inventory to:
Search by call number to find the item’s record to confirm the title (+1 from Ann)
Once I know I have the right item I have to make sure Hampshire owns it.
Then I have to make sure the item should be shelved in the regular cd’s and is not in a special collection or on reserve.
Lastly I have to make sure the item is available and not checked out.
A professor wants to put a copy of Moby Dick on reserve. They give no other information other than to indicate that they want the one with the introduction by Edward Said. Does Hampshire own it, and if not which library does so that we can borrow it for the semester?
