• Joshua attended an Orchid update session led by Molly Driscoll.

• Molly highlighting in passing some differences in search vs. browse behavior in Orhid.

• Joshua demonstrated how queries entered under the browse tab in Inventory in Orchid (e.g. for subject or contributor) take you first to a list of results in shelflist order. Selecting a result passes you through to a search function for the exact AAP matching your selected browse result, but clicking on the browse tab again returns you to your browse results. So unlike earlier releases, you can revisit your browse list after selecting a result.

• Issues remain re: indexing of ending punctuation in contributor values in the instance. For example, newly created instance records (i.e. derived from a newly imported SRS record) will include the comma preceding $e in the indexing. Legacy, migrated records do not do this. This difference in indexing behavior results in split files when browsing contributor in Inventory.
