to catalog or not to catalog, that is my question

To catalog or not to catalog, that is my question. :) My name is Eric, and I work in a digital scholarship center in the Libraries at the University of Notre Dame. When you figure out what digital scholarship is, then please tell me. I've been practicing librarianship for a while now. For a good time, I spun up a virtual machine and installed Koha on it. (The process was easy but it did/does require practice.) Then, by hand, I added a tiny number of items to the catalog complete with a few authority records. 'Works very well. I'm impressed. I have also collected about .25 million open access journal articles. I used OAI to do this work. At a minimum, each article comes with identifiers, authors, titles, dates, and abstracts. With additional processing, I can extract/compute extents, summaries, keywords, names of people, names of organizations, and names of places. Combined together, all of these attributes form the content bibliographic records. It would not be too difficult for me to automatically create MARC records for each (most) of my collection. I could then import the whole thing into Koha. Fun!? What would I gain from such a process? Well, I would have a nice search engine enabling me to find items in the collection. The items could be (re-)syndicated via OAI, and I might be able to implement a SRU interface to the index. If I catalog things, and then if I supplemented the cataloging with Library of Congress authorities, then I would end up creating relationships between items, and such forms the basis of interesting networks. There has got to be a way to map authorities to WikiData Qnumbers, and if both implemented and made available on the 'Net, then the whole would contribute to the Semantic Web. On the other hand, the process is not trivial. While I am perfectly able to create an index of the whole without using Koha (Zebra), Koha might do it better than me. Would the index actually get used? Probably not; I would probably be the only one using the catalog. All that said, my questions to y'all are, "What sorts of technology gotcha's might I encounter if I were to try to import .25 million articles into Koha? And how could I automate assigning authorities to each record?" -- Eric Lease Morgan Navari Family Center for Digital Scholarship University of Notre Dame https://cds.library.nd.edu/

Hi all, we are considering an upgrade from 22.05 to 23.05 - in your experience would it be good to upgrade directly or to go first to 22.11 and then from there to 23.05?

Hello! Asked a question in ChatGPT: How to set up an inventory number generator in ILS Koha? Received a response: To set up an inventory number generator in ILS Koha, you will need to follow these steps: Log in to ILS Koha with administrator credentials. Go to "Admin" and select "Local Administration". In the "Items and Bibliographic Records" section, select "Item Types". Select the instance type you need or add a new one by clicking on the "New" button. In the "Generation Rule" section, select a specific rule or create a new one by clicking on the "New" button. Enter the necessary settings for generating an inventory number, such as prefix, number template, and other parameters. Save your changes. Your inventory number generator is now set up in ILS Koha. Each time you create a new instance, the system will automatically generate an inventory number according to the settings you have specified. I don't see "Generation Rule". Lying? Good Luck! Igor A.

Upcoming CatSIGs!
by Hernandez, Heather H 25 Jul '23

25 Jul '23

Hi, all! Our next Koha-US Cataloging Special Interest Group ("CatSIG") is on Thursday, July 27, 2023, at a later time, 1(13:00)PT / 4(16:00)ET / Friday at 9NZT / 20UTC! You don't have to be a member of Koha-US to join us! For the rest of the year, we'll hold our regular monthly meetings on the first Thursday of the month, information here: Calendar – koha-US<https://koha-us.org/calendar/> And there will be a special CatSIG later in the day during the Koha-US Conference in September! Information on the conference is here (and online attendance is free): https://koha-us.org/events/conferences/2023-koha-us-annual-conference-ports… Remember that you don't even need to self-identify as a cataloger! There will be our usual roundtable of questions, solutions and resource brainstorming, tips, tricks, suggestions, bug & development awareness, and the usual laughter, fun, and fellowship to discuss anything cataloging, authority, or metadata related in Koha. Not sure if it's cataloging related? It probably is! Actual catalogers do attend, as well as the cataloging curious and those who have had cataloging thrust upon them! Can't make it? No worries--it will be recorded and available on the Koha-US YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/kohaUS/playlists (See the Cataloging Special Interest Group's playlist for more cataloging fun!) As ever, feel free to send me any questions or topics for discussion ahead of time! See you there! --h2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ms. Heather Hernandez (she, her, hers) Technical Services Librarian Library catalog: https://keys.bywatersolutions.com/ San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park Research Center 2 Marina Blvd., Bldg.
