These last two months the RERO ILS team has worked successively on sprints 33 and 34 of the development. This work has resulted in a version v0.12.0 offering many new features and deployed in time for the second phase of testing by the pilot libraries, which started at the end of September. Here are the major changes in this release, with full notes available on Github v0.12.0.

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.

RERO launches a first phase of tests on RERO ILS in this month of March.

After having tested its software with the Swiss professional community during a first cycle of workshops, the central was able to collect a good number of feedbacks on the use and usability of the system. RERO now wishes to continue this improvement process in a formal way, by opening a test phase with some pilot libraries.
