receiving magazines / serials with barcodes but NO item records
by Kurt Bodling 03 Apr '10

03 Apr '10

Is it possible to barcode magazines when they are received in the Serials module in a way that does NOT create a new item record for each issue received? If I create a subscription and do NOT check the box "Create an Item record when receiving this serial" then there seems to be no place to enter a barcode when I go to "Receive" a new issue. If I create a subscription and check the box "Create an Item record when receiving this serial" then there is a place to enter a barcode because the add Item record screen appears after the issue is marked "Arrived." But we don't want to create a new Item record. Barcoding a weekly publication upon receipt would create 52 item records a year. And some of our serials began publication in the 1800s. Either way, I don't believe we should have to clutter up the OPAC results screen with hundreds of item records under a bib record for a single serial title. Is there a way to suppress the display of those item records created when issues are received? Or, again, is it possible to barcode magazines when they are received in the Serials module in a way that does NOT create a new item record for each issue received? Merci, Kurt A.

Re: [Koha] Help with setting up information to be displayed by catalog search

Hi Joe, If you look on that .doc that I linked to in the beginning, it shows a walk through. Granted, it is for Follett, so you may have to look information in different spots. ( http://people.oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/html/index.php<http://people.oregonstate.edu/%7Ereeset/marcedit/html/index.php>) I would recommend a few things that I figured out only after working on it for a while. First- Take some practice data and run through the steps first (maybe about 10-20 marc records.) That way, you get a feel for what is happening and you can import the small data set and see if it came through correctly without having to get rid of too much data if it goes wrong. Second- This might take extra time, but it will help out later. Don't export ALL of the data from the old system. Export it in chunks according to the item type. (Side note- you will have to define a few item types in Koha BK - book, MV - video, etc.) This way, you can easily assign the item type to the records without having to search through and figure out which is which in the raw records. Third- Don't be afraid to start fresh if you make a mistake in the process. You, and everyone else in the library, will have to live with the data in the system for a long time. If its slightly wrong, it will take a looong time to go through item by item to fix things, It WIL take time to correct in the front end it, but it will save a ton of time over the life span of the system. As for the reindexing part of your question, I am not as knowlegable about that as many other people on the list, so I am adding the list back into the conversation. (That way someone might find this information in the archives later on if they need it.) I hope you don't mind.

Sip Field PI
by Colin Campbell 01 Apr '10

01 Apr '10

The Koha sip implementation returns a field PI described in one comment as 'Custom protocol extension to report patron internet privileges', in another as an unknown extension and in a third as 'Envisionware extension'. There appears to be no code elsewhere to set this (Sip returns Y for a valid patron N otherwise). Does anyone know of any code using this or is it a software fossil? -- Colin Campbell Chief Software Engineer, PTFS Europe Limited Content Management and Library Solutions +44 (0) 208 366 1295 (phone) +44 (0) 7759 633626 (mobile) colin.campbell(a)ptfs-europe.com skype: colin_campbell2 http://www.ptfs-europe.com

Help with setting up information to be displayed by catalog search
by Joe Ellis 31 Mar '10

31 Mar '10

Hello Koha listers, I have been trying to help a librarian at a small school here in Connecticut transition to KOHA from a really old system called Winnebago. I have managed to export her records in MARC format and to import them into KOHA. However there are 2 problems she needs help with. First I need to know how I can get the search result to show the Dewey Decimal Number for the books in the catalog. I know the data loaded when I transferred the records, at least I confirmed the data was in the file I loaded. Next, when she searches for a book it says the number available is zero regardless of the number of volumes she may have. How do I get KOHA to show the correct number on hand? Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks. Joe Ellis Canterbury, CT.
