Does anyone works in this ? Almost nobody can read files iso2709 except for the IT librarians... This is still valid. However the email one receives does provide both a clear and useful list of the cart content directly in the mail + notes that the attached file is for librarian use. I think it would possibly be more confusing for users to have to deicide if they want iso2709 or not rather than just getting the file with a note to disregard it if they are not IT librarians. However I do feel that it could be more clearly explained for end users what the difference between download / email cart is. For example it might be better to have users chose the format they want first (plain text/iso2709 etc) and delivery method (download/email) second. I think I have filed a duplicate: Bug 18609 - Make attachement of MARC records for list/cart email optional It turns out the attachement can also create problems if the receiving mail server is strict about attachements. *** Bug 18609 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** If we wanted to offer the option to email the attachment from the folder download feature (and I like it... but I **am** one of those types mentioned in Comment 1) I'd prefer it named either cart.mrc or maybe folder.mrc as that suffix is fast becoming the norm for MARC files. And I can't see anywhere to select what formats can be downloaded from a folder, unlike the list in OpacExportOptions for the item detail page. |
