WorldCat Discovery release notes, February 2020

Library scope facet correction to correct issues with holding statements

When branch scope is selected, parent scope will automatically deselect, ensuring that the branch holding statement appears properly on a citation. This resolves the issue that surfaced with facet improvements released in December 2019 which allowed both the Level 1 Library scope and a Level 1 branch scope to be selected at the same time. When both were selected, the “held by” statement displayed Level 1 Library information rather than branch information.

Resolved issues with logging into User Portal and My Account from WorldCat Discovery

A new cookie introduced with the January 2020 WorldCat Discovery release adversely affected some users, requiring them to clear cookies in order to access their accounts. After the February release this issue should no longer impact users who have not yet cleared their cookies.

All tables in Service Configuration will translate into supported languages

When any supported languages within Service Configuration are selected, all tables within Service Configuration will display properly. Specifically, the display correction applies to the following tables:

• OPAC status Grid module
  • OPAC status grid table
• Holding Codes Translation Table and Shelving Location messages
  • Holding Code Translation Table
  • Shelving Location Messages

Prior to this release, these tables did not display properly when the following languages were selected.

• French
