adding target catalogs to search engine
by Caitlin McGurk 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

Hello Koha, Two questions: How does one add a specific library catalog to the search targets, that isn't already there? Also, does anyone find that they regularly get a response from NYPL's catalog that holds a record but says "system error" as the holding? Thank you!

Hmm, it could be that one record is corrupt, are you editing an existing one? Does it show up in normal search and is ok if you click on it?

Hello Koha, I've started to receive this error message while cataloging "Can't call method "as_usmarc" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Search.pm line 2384."

Scan Indexes results
by Elaine Bradtke 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Koha 3.2.2 staff interface. Advanced search I was trying to figure out what the little box Scan Indexes does. So I ran a search on a term I know to be in the collection (sharp). It appears to bring up a list of terms based on fuzzy logic that may be related to the term you entered. So far so good. But when I clicked on a term (being blue and underlined, they look clickable) I was given the following message: No results match your search for 'kw,wrdl: "sharp"' - There were supposedly 58 instances of the word sharp in the database. kw is keyword wrdl (I'm guessing) wordlist? Am I missing something or is it a bug? I assumed that clicking on sharp would have run a keyword search on that term. Have I misinterpreted the use of this little device? -- Elaine Bradtke Data Wrangler VWML English Folk Dance and Song Society | http://www.efdss.org Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 ext 36 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Registered Company No. 297142 Charity Registered in England and Wales No. 305999 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Writing about music is like dancing about architecture" --Elvis Costello (Musician magazine No. 60 (October 1983), p. 52)

staff client, wrong default library
by Caitlin McGurk 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

G'mornin, Koha- While cataloging under the staff client, the default Library and Permanent Collection dragdown list are defaulting to the wrong library. In fact, I've never even heard of the libraries listed in my dropdown. Anyway to change that? While I catalog as the admin, it always defaults to the correct one. Suggestions?

Odd display in search results
by Elaine Bradtke 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Koha 3.2.2 in the staff interface I was running a search using two terms and the 'or' operator. The search performed as expected. However, as we have highlight search results turned on, it highlighted 'or'. Not just 'or' on its own, but any instance of those two letters in that sequence (for instance the 'or' in Cranford). It does the same in the OPAC It's not a real serious problem. It doesn't actually search on 'or', it just highlights it. But it certainly looks strange and may be confusing to some users. I wonder how hard it would be to limit the highlighting to the actual text entered into the search box, so the Boolean operators would not be highlighted. -- Elaine Bradtke Data Wrangler VWML English Folk Dance and Song Society | http://www.efdss.org Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 ext 36 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Registered Company No. 297142 Charity Registered in England and Wales No. 305999 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Writing about music is like dancing about architecture" --Elvis Costello (Musician magazine No. 60 (October 1983), p. 52)

How to catalogue related items?
by Mirko 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

I have a "sorry-i'm-not-a-librarian"-question: How do I catalogue several items that belong together? For example: I have a series for language learning: one workbook, one grammar and two audio cds. They are not a single kit containing all items but have seperate call numbers and can be used/checked out independently of each other. Nonetheless they are related and this information needs to be available to the patron. I thought I would set up a biblio containing the general information (title, author etc.) and have items for workbook, grammar, cds with their respective call number/barcode. Somehow this seems to be the wrong way to do it: - I can only have one item type (for the biblio, not for the item) -- but i want patrons to be able to find for example the cds if they search for audio materials -- so this seems wrong - I used "Materials specified (bound volume or other part)" to put "CD 1", "CD 2", "Workbook"… but that information only shows up in the staff client. When searching the OPAC I don't get this info, neither can I do anything with the items of the biblio (like, place a hold), I can only look up "Item type", "Call number" and "Status". There is also a field "Location", but it is empty (it is filled in the staff client). What is the correct way to catalogue several different items that somehow belong together? If I have to make a seperate biblio for each item, how do I connect them? Patrons should be able to see that (for example) there are also audio cds when they see the record for the books (etc.). I hope it is clear what I'm trying to do, any help is appreciated.
