regex to put space between the classification number and author letters
by Lauren Denny 06 Jul '23

06 Jul '23

Hi everyone, I have about 5000 records with no space between the classification number and author letters. Here are a few examples: 491.431SA 431PA 260RE I would like to add a space so that they become: 491.431 SA 431 PA 260 RE Is there a way to add the space in the call number using the Koha item batch modification? I feel like I could use regex to add a space after the numbers or before the letters but don't know enough about regex to know how. Could someone help? Or offer another way to edit them? Thanks, Lauren

Two CatSIGs in July!
by Hernandez, Heather H 05 Jul '23

05 Jul '23

Hi, all! Our next Koha-US Cataloging Special Interest Group ("CatSIG") is on Thursday, July 6, 2023, at 8 PT, 9 MT, 10 CT, 11 ET (16:00 UTC)! And since you don't have to be a member of Koha-US to join us, we're hoping you'll join us! But wait! There's more! The second CatSIG July meeting is on Thursday, July 27, 2023, at a later time, 1(13:00)PT / 4(16:00)ET /9NZT / 20UTC! You still don't have to be a member of Koha-US to join us, so we're hoping the different times will make it possible for more folks to join in! (We're trying these later, second meetings in a month four times a year.) And 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! Information on joining us is on the Koha-US calendar: Calendar – koha-US<https://koha-us.org/calendar/> 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.

Acquisitions of books for the student bookstore
by library＠ssst.edu.ba 05 Jul '23

05 Jul '23

Hello acquisitions folks, I have some questions for you. I'm a solo librarian here, so I wear lots of different hats. One of them is acquisitions of textbooks for the student bookstore. The price of the textbooks is included in the price of the student fees so they don't need to buy them themselves either by ordering online or buying from the bookstore; the bookstore gets the list of courses and textbooks per department, a list of students, and prepares a package for each student, who can pick up the books once the finance department confirms that they have taken care of their financial obligations. Most of these books will not go to the library. Some might eventually, e.g., if a student drops out or graduates and donates their books to us, or if an extra copy or two was ordered for the specific purpose of being available in the library, or if an instructor donates their older edition because they received a new gratis one from the publisher. I have been handling these orders in Excel, but as the university grows, it has become increasingly complicated to manage all the packages, especially since minor courses can be attended by students from other departments (e.g., a CS or PSIR student can take a management or business minor or minors from their own departments). Is there a way for me to handle these orders in a more simplified way in Koha, perhaps in combination with course reserves where I could keep a permanent list of courses in an academic year (fall and spring semesters)? I'm still going through the manual and checking demos in order to understand how best to set up my budget and funds, but I thought I'd throw this question out there and see if anyone might have a workable idea. Thank you in advance! Best regards Aida Đikić Librarian

IMPORTING FILES INTO KOHA
by Hillcrest Librarian 04 Jul '23

04 Jul '23

Greetings, KOHA software is completely new to me. I exported my titles from Destiny software into my system, they are in a machine format, I tried importing them into my new Koha software but it's not working. I need help or steps in which I can follow to achieve this. I have numerous resources that will cripple my duties if I am to input these titles one by one. Thanks in anticipation for your assistance.

Koha won't import items when importing MARC records
by Furst, Kevin 04 Jul '23

04 Jul '23

Hello, TL;DR = When importing MARC records, items don't import and fail. I am transitioning from Follett Destiny to Koha. After doing a MARC export from Follett, I noticed that when staging records for import, Koha would parse the biblio records fine but wouldn't find any item records. After searching past messages in this list, I found that Follett has item records as 852 instead of 952. I used MARCedit to change those to 952 and also added a and b records to match the libraries listed in Koha. After doing that and trying again, item records were then found during staging. However when I import the staged records, it just fails and gives me nothing in the detailed messages in the UI. If I remove the 952 records, it works fine and imports all the other records thus I know something is wrong with my 952 entries. I have checked that there are p barcodes and a and b home and current libraries. In the Koha logs on the server, this is the only error message I get when I try to run an import and it fails. To me it seems like a FK is missing on import but I don't know what. Looking at the schema example, I'm wondering if I'm supposed to be importing things to 942 and 999 along with 952. I do not know if, when importing MARC records, Koha creates its own enumerated ids for biblio, item number, etc. if that stuff isn't in the import file... or if it isn't there, will it fail? BIx::Class::Storage::DBI::_dbh_execute(): DBI Exception: DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails (`koha_library`.`items`, CONSTRAINT `items_ibfk_> Broken FK constraint at /usr/share/koha/lib/Koha/BackgroundJob/MARCImportCommitBatch.pm line 91. Here are a couple of 952 records from the Follett export to Koha import file to see if something simple is wrong. I'm hoping it's something simple on these lines. =952 \\$p34517100010472$aPRBHS$bPRBHS$bStory Collection$v10.00USD$x14441$eaRegular@c20060929@fTransfer from PRB Elem.@j @j@j@i@i@i$hSC Otf$x1127380 =952 \\$p3333300007200O$aPRBHS$bPRBHS$v20.00USD$x17292$eaRegular@c20050604 @j@j@j@i@i@i$hR 639 Can pb$x527111 (Beyond that, I haven't really tinkered with anything in the default MARC framework settings in admin.
