Re: [Koha] Authority indexing

Hi, Kindly help. I am still get error message when trying to search and import records using z3950. when i search catalogue i find many records ( Biblios in reservoir).

Hi everyone, I have just make the upgrade from Koha 3.8.1 to Koha 3.8.2, on Centos 6.

[Moment of mental madness on my part -- I was looking to default just the "s", not the whole string " nas a22 7a 4500" including the spaces that Koha completes.] >Just a reminder: item type has absolutely thing to do with the physical >characteristics of the item it is describing.

Item type is a category for the circulation rules. The item type may not be physical (and, while I don't want to break circulation rules, we're a reference library -- nobody gets out the door with anything from our stacks), but one of our cataloguing volunteers has 30 years of experience with MaRC at a major university and Library Archives Canada, and she suggested an audit of our MaRC coding, strictly to Z39.71 standards (LoC documentation, CONSER, NASI, etc.) What we found was that our "book" biblios, which I had really concentrated on during Koha setup (and MarcEdit import) 18 months ago, was at least half decent; on the other hand, our serials (we hold 275,000 items) was not very clever. I've been able to correct most of the egregious, repetitive mistakes (direct manipulation of MySQL) but am now involved in trying to make the cataloguers' job (Koha staff client) easier to do and less prone to errors (framework, on screen presentation and help files) while the "expert lady" is setting up some training sessions. The bottom line is that Z39.50 biblios for serials (particularly historically "dead" ones, which are our raison d'être) seem difficult to come by (maybe someone knows of a good source?) and one day we intend to make ours public via a Z39.50 server at our end. I'd like to think that by them they would be pretty clean. Again, thanks for your assistance, Paul

Serials framework
by Paul 15 Jul '12

15 Jul '12

Apologies if the answer is available, I just can't find it. Serials framework, Leader 000 position 7, must be changed from m - Monograph/Item to s - Serial. How do I make "s" the default in that specific framework (obviously without modifying default, books etc frameworks), or do our cataloguers have to remember to change it? Even after setting 942$c to serials, the "m" keeps appearing in the leader. Thanks - Paul

Hi everyone, I have installed Koha 3.8.1 on Centos 6 (i386). Everything is ok, but I have this problem: when I'm cataloging i cannot choose any language from the tag 101$a; I mean: if I try to open the sub menu for this tag nothing appear (the same situation for the tag 102$a): http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/file/n5719749/Immagine_1.png Any idea to solve this problem?
