shelf browser not working
by Amy Schuler 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hello, I noticed that the shelf browser feature is not functioning for me. When I click on it in the OPAC, for any record, it causes the page to blink/reset but it does not actually work. I assume that clicking on an arrow should allow me to see the previous or next catalog item in call number order, correct? I double-checked the sys pref and the shelf browser is on. I am running Koha v. 3.00. My collection is quite small (less than 10,000 bibs). Any ideas? Thanks. a Amy C.

Re: [Koha] Journal articles and analytical records
by Jared Camins-Esakov 09 Apr '10

Dear Kathy, et. al., Returning to the subject of the display of 773s, I have submitted two patches today for 3.2/3.4 (depending on whether these are classified as bugfixes or not). The first fixes the semantics of indicator 1 for MARC fields 780 and 785, and the second provides preliminary support for display of 773s (according to the OCLC bib formats documentation, these are the only three fields in the 76x-78x range that should display). See Bugzilla reports (which include patches): http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4370 http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4371 The 773 display and linking is very crude. The link merely consists of a search on 773$a and 773$t, which is probably not the behavior that most people will want, in light of the earlier discussion about $x, etc. earlier, but I figure imitating the way 780s and 785s are handled is a good start, and a simple change that's unlikely to cause anyone any problems. More precise (and useful) linking with $x etc. would probably require additional configuration on a per-library basis. For example, at the ANS we would like the 773s to link only to the parent record, and the parent records to have a link to search for child records, which requires a great deal of additional Zebra configuration. Any thoughts would be welcome (and if someone who is familiar with the wiki would like to create a wiki page for discussing analytics, I would be happy to move the discussion of analytics over there). Hopefully this will be of use to others, as well.

Query classification
by Nicholas Gallagher 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

The Query: As a growing specialist academic library, I recently designed a classification scheme appropriate to our needs as neither Dewey nor Lib. of Cong. was suitable. Could you briefly have a look at a few examples of our faceted scheme to assess whether Koha would have any problems reading the sequences? ( A1:C5 ) ; ( F:A20.P ) ; ( H9.0:C30 ) ; ( J7.02:L40 ) I've only recently qualified in Information Services Management and have very little experience. Any advice would gratefully be received. Best wishes, Nick.

fixing marc and marcxml
by Veronica Lencinas 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hi, I had some malfunction (probably incorrect configuration of one framework) in my Koha. One of the results was that items.marc and items.marcxml were build without the 952 fields. Koha still work (circulation, etc.), but it is impossible to edit items. So I need to fix the marcxml and marc fields in the items table. Do someone have a script to fix this?

Dear Koustubha, Magnu and Lenora, Thank you for the quick response. I understood from your mail that data in 650 stored in xml and we have to filter it from there. This thing also mentioned in SQL Library in Koha Wiki. According to the SQL Library following query will filter data from 650-a field in biblio number 24. SELECT ExtractValue((SELECT marcxml FROM biblioitems WHERE biblionumber=24), '//datafield[@tag="650"]/subfield[@code>="a"]') AS ITEM What are the changes in query list entire 650-a field from all records? -- Vimal Kumar V.

Inventory questions
by David Schuster 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

Mainly if you are uploading a file do you need to select any of the other options besides setting the inventory date? Do you run any reports and what do you run to help clean up your collection? We came from a system that had great cleanup reports so this is more of a yep we have it or no we don't kind of inventory. What do you do??? What would you like it to do??? This is something on our development radar, but not as high a priority as a few other items.

koha mapping
by Linda Culberson 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

Hey, y'all! (That's Mississippian for "hello, everyone!") Is there a way to map to the 942$n field using Koha to marc mapping? That field is not listed in the tables using online tool described at http://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.0/administration/catalog-administrat… I will be using it to prevent some bibliographic records from appearing in the opac.
