Some love them, some hate them. Today we look into predictions and their periodicity among the data from the RERO ILS pilot libraries. Indeed, the work on the implementation of the serial function is leading the RERO central office to analyze this aspect based on existing data. (For the experts, these predictions can be found in the MARC field 853 of the holdings).

After extracting the data, we came across some interesting figures. We would like to share them here, as there are some similarities and differences between libraries.

While sprint 29 is over and sprint 30 is already well underway, version v0.8.0 of rero ils is published (complete release notes). Below is a brief summary of what’s new.

At RERO, we’re witnessing an acceleration of space-time, especially in the RERO ILS project, and in this haste, we “forgot” to inform you that two new releases have been published!

Below, a summary of the added features of these releases is proposed, but the detailed notes can be accessed through the following links:

• v0.6.0
• v0.7.0

The RERO network will be split into two groups of libraries by 2020-2021, one integrating the Swiss Library Services Platform (SLSP) and the other adopting the RERO ILS solution. In order to avoid a situation leading to the creation of two divergent copies of its current French-language authority file, RERO decided to discontinue this file in favour of a solution that is more widely recognized and firmly rooted in a wider community, and that can be equally used by both SLSP and RERO ILS.
