Importing staged records stops at #53849 (Koha 3.00.01.005)
by Marc Nürnberger 15 Mar '09

15 Mar '09

Dear List, I am struggling with the webinterface import of staged MARC records: The import seems to stop invariably at rec #53849. Oddly enough, there seems to be no broken MARC record near this number. I can indivually import all the records around it including #53849, and even if I delete these five from the import file, so that they are replaced by other records, it just happens again: no importing beyond MARC #53849. Any ideas? Best regards, Marc

Re: [Koha] Koha 3.0 : item types or CCodes (again - sorry ..)

Our library would also really like icons to show up on the search results page in the OPAC - 1 icon for each bib record - it would drastically improve searchability of the catalog for our patrons. Right now we have the XSLT stylesheet turned off on the OPAC results page and unless you read the "fine print" it is difficult to tell if you are looking at a book or a dvd or a book on cd. We are not satisfied with the icons that the XSLT stylesheet currently pulls from the MARC record - it does not distinguish btw a juvenile book and an adult book, a dvd and a video, a book on cassette or a book on cd. Regarding Joshua's comments about displaying icons based on MARC records (bib level icons) - we can not figure out a way to achieve the icons we want based on our MARC records (an icon pulled from the bib record would have to be based on format, audience and language - and I'm not even sure this would be enough to get the level of specificity that some libraries may want). Our bib records currently have incomplete info for audience so these types of icons would not work for us without major work on our MARC records. An added problem to assigning icons based on the format info in the 007 field from the MARC record, is that currently we are unable to edit this field in our KOHA installation (bug 3013). It is also important to note that it would take quite a few other changes to get our library to want to use the current default stylesheet - the availability info is too brief and the other data displaying from the MARC record leader is unwanted. So. given that assigning icons to bib records based on the MARC record seems very difficult for our library - we still want icons on our search results page. We already have icons assigned to both item types and collection codes. We would like to suggest a system preference that allows libraries to opt in or opt out of item type icons or cccode icons on the search results page. You could then choose icons based on ccodes, item types, or no icons at all. I think flexibility is the key, since there seem to be many different types of ccode and item type setups in the KOHA community. so with a new system preference.... Libraries migrating from version 2 who have icons set up for their ccodes would be happy. Libraries using icons for item types would be happy - my library J And libraries with multiple item types and collection codes for one bib record can turn off this feature hmmm... maybe there could be a fourth option - if you want to base your icons on bib level data from your MARC records Our other option would be to rework the XSLT stylesheet for our library, but that doesn't help any other libraries in the same situation and more importantly we don't have anyone at our library who can do this kind of work. We are working with Liblime and getting ready to go live, and we really want to introduce this to our patrons with the icons on the search results page working, so any advice on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, (We really appreciate all the folks contributing to this discussion) Adrea Adrea Lund Head of Adult Services Grand County Public Library 257 E.

mapping to KOHA
by Beth Willis 13 Mar '09

13 Mar '09

Hi, I am new to KOHA and have a question about mapping from MARC to KOHA. Is it required that item data be mapped to field 952 or can I change this to a different field in the mapping table? I tried doing that and am getting errors, including this one for the itemnum field: * The field itemnum MUST be mapped * The correspounding subfield MUST be in with -1 (ignore) tab Thank you. -- Beth Willis Catalog & Digital Librarian North of Boston Library Exchange, Inc.

Trying to match and overlay ISBN - (pbk) after ISBN
by Martin McGovern 13 Mar '09

13 Mar '09

Hi, I'm trying to match and overlay a couple of thousand bibs. I have already loaded approx 9,000 bibs on the koha database. All have ISBNs. But when I try to match and overlay with better records, the incoming records have the same ISBN but with (pbk) appended after the ISBN in the 020 $a - e.g. a190446730X (pbk). This is valid in Marc21. But koha refuses to match on any of these incoming records. I could strip out the (pbk) but that will not fix the problem for new bibs in the future. Any ideas?

Hi , I interested in installing KOHA for consortium of Croatian University Libraies. I need info on system architecture amd maintaining of KOHA. We have like 5 libraries - how much servers we need to have ? Does every library have to have local server connected with central server or is it enough to have one central server for KOHA? Thank you for you support Best regards, _________________ Vedran Vuković Sistemski knjižničar Sveučiliste u Zadru Mihovila Pavlinovića b.b. 23 000 Zadar/Hrvatska Tel : +385 23 345 048 mail : <mailto:vevukovic@unizd.hr> vevukovic(a)unizd.hr
