Batch Activities / Discover : intensive use.

[meteos77]

I used BA/Discover and it's very useful: 590 documents arrived to test BA

3 observations

• Having the title of the document would be useful

• To be able to save the scanned list of not found because no way to keep this list (the list of found is OK).

• The visibility if the number of scanned documents is higher than the screen size (maximum 15-20 lines depending on the screen resolution) is not adapted.

After the number 15 a scrollbar appears to scroll the new scanned documents. Except that you have to intervene at each new document to make it go down.

suggestion : is it possible to make appear in reverse order : the oldest scanned document goes down one notch and the new one always appears on the first line?

Thank you for the evolutions that you can bring if it is not too much mountain/time

[textbrowser]

Two of these items are completed. :D

I have problems to compile the new version with windows10 :-(

This afternoon I'm going to the library, I'll test again with the linux compilation which is OK.

[meteos77]

Which problems?

[textbrowser]

Done.

[meteos77]

A great feature this BA/Discover : Thanks you for all these evolutions

[meteos77]

Detail : the result of the document type remain in English -> book instead of "livre"

[textbrowser]

OK.

[textbrowser]

"grey_literature" -> table name "book" -> table name

Etc. I cannot rename the database tables to suit the locale.

[meteos77]

I thought it was the type field, I still have some progress to make :-)

[textbrowser]

The type fields are in English in the database.

[meteos77]

it is well hidden because we never notice it

I like to make puzzles, small scale models.

it's true that computers take up too much space :-(

at the library we decided to postpone our software changeover to June/July 2023 because of the delay on the inventory, Papys90 is holding the shock ... but after I will find more diversified activities than computer. Well, if the snow comes, I'll go to the cross-country ski tracks :-)

Is that a pizza company?

[meteos77]

why a pizeria ?

[textbrowser]

Italy would not have had modern pizza had it not been for the Aztecs.

[textbrowser]

Papy, sounds like a pizza shop.

[meteos77]

Sorry we are located in the old school.

[meteos77]

the tomato :-)

[textbrowser]

Old school? Is that like traditionalists standing still while only looking into the past?

[meteos77]

It is difficult to attract young people. Reading is unfortunately an activity that is being lost.

We made a drop to bring the children of the school : 4 years - 8 years.

The screens are more attractive.

[textbrowser]

You should upgrade your Android device. That version is totally dead. And look into Nintendo or PC gaming. Lots of brain activity there. Or play the piano.

[meteos77]

old schold it is the building that is old not the volunteers :-)

[textbrowser]

Social media is a good drug.

[textbrowser]

Introduce comic books, Manga, graphic novels. They'll attract everyone. Books with pictures are awesome.

[textbrowser]

Lego is a good library activity too.

[meteos77]

We can always improve our offer but the library is in a village with 600 inhabitants, With the deliveries of the central library we have books with pictures.

[meteos77]

we can have 16 radiant volumes per central library

[meteos77]

In our region, most people are sportsmen Running, skiing, hiking, we are in the middle of nature There are more forests and fields than building areas, so the inhabitants take advantage of this to get some fresh air. The "intellectual" culture is not as present as in the cities. In my village, there is a school and even a music school. In summer there is a lumberjack competition :-)

[meteos77]

I like your sites, I always find nice things :-)

Do you ban any books in your library?

[meteos77]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_Green

[meteos77]

not to my knowledge

[textbrowser]

The book which that movie is based on is silly but good.

[textbrowser]

We have a twisted movement in the US of book bans and threatening librarians.

[meteos77]

It makes you feel uncomfortable because people were already denouncing the wrong direction for the planet at that time.

[textbrowser]

Can you ask your head office for Folio Society books? They're pricey but really nice to read. Kind of snobbish. Maybe they'll attract more readers because they often have nice illustrations.

[textbrowser]

They're printed in Germany and Italy, sometimes Spain.

[meteos77]

This is what I understood from one of your previous posts...

[meteos77]

you are not the country of freedom?

[textbrowser]

We find them for cheap at used book stores and libraries selling donated books.

[textbrowser]

There is always freedom for authoritarians. Not so much for people on the margins.

[meteos77]

I find it hard to understand your country : Not all US states are the same I think there is a real difference in culture between you and Europe

[meteos77]

related to your book : https://www.lemonde.fr/planete/article/2018/06/06/scandale-sanitaire-aux-antilles-qu-est-ce-que-le-chlordecone_5310485_3244.html

[textbrowser]

That's right.

[meteos77]

Which android tablet would you recommend?

[meteos77]

I had a question about the compilation of the android version; on which machine do you do this?
