"location" after search incorrect
by Shelley & Kurt Kemperman 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

Our server went down and has been replaced. Data appears to be mostly intact. When I search, I get the list of results, but the location column will say "No items available" (not sure if this is exact wording) for most results, even though they are checked in. The occasional result will have the correct location info, but some will also say the item is checked out when it is not. Any suggestions? Thanks, Shelley

Good background (shame that our budget doesn't permit full membership of WorldCat) but I'm still looking for the technical background for ease of cataloguing. Am I correct in summarizing: - the "RLIN" is not searchable, per se, and its appearance in the GUI serves no useful purpose to cataloguers? - therefore, all frameworks can "hide" (but not delete) all subfields referring to RLIN? Assuming its use for indexing authorities, it appears to be just as important as biblio and item numbers, but where and under what name is this data stored in MySQL?

RLIN
by Paul 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

I can't find anything in the documentation about RLIN, nor can I find it in the sql schema, so am looking for some assistance, please. First (enquiring mind) what does the abbreviation stand for? Secondly, if I understand correctly, it is used for indexing authority entries, but how can it be searched? Example: the default 730 for "serials/continuing resources" shows only a single input line "9 (RLIN)" - obviously, I can add $a to get a searchable "UNIF_TITLE", but there must be some reason for the default to hide this option. Thanks - Paul

Hello Koha users & developers, Irma & Bob, from Calyx sent me a file with some MARC21 records. I just added them on the MARC21 database you can load in sandboxes. So if you choose database 1 (MARC21) when setting up your sandbox, you will have 101 biblios and 130+ items.

Circulation History of a given item
by amutsikiwa 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

Hi I have a site running Koha. Our circulation staff are making errors of stamping the wrong date on date slips, misleading the patrons. I would want to have a query that accepts the barcode of a book and displays the last five or so circulation history of a given item, displaying the staff member who checked out the items, the time, the patron name among other information. Regards, Admire Mutsikiwa
