Re: [Koha] Matching rules on record import

>> It would be nice if during the import process Koha could check a >> sequence of matchpoints when checking for duplicate holdings (e.g., >> first check ISBN, then LCCN, etc.) This is currently not possible, >> however, right? I'm informed by Joshua & Galen that one can check a sequence of match points simply by adding additional match points to a rule set. (Thank you!) So, I've created a new matching rule based on the ISBN rule, adding a match point for the LCCN. I based the match point on the ISBN match point, changing the tag to 010 & entering LCCN as the normalization rule. My expectation was that this new rule would check the ISBN first for matches, & then the LCCN. A test case failed, however. I created a duplicate record of an item in our system & then deleted the 020 ISBN tags before attempting to stage the record. Unfortunately, the system did not pick up on the 010 LCCN match. I thought this might because, at least in our system, the LCCN numbers all seem to be preceded by 3 empty spaces. So I changed the Offset for the LCCN match point to 3. But this didn't work either. Does anyone see anything wrong with following setup for this new rule?: 1. Matching rule code: ISBNLCCN 2. Description: 020_010 3. Match threshold: 1000 Matchpoint 1 1. Search index: isbn 2. Score: 1000 1. Tag: 020 2. Subfields: a 3. Offset: 0 4. Length: 0 5. Normalization rule: ISBN Matchpoint 2 1. Search index: lccn 2. Score: 1000 1. Tag: 010 2. Subfields: a 3. Offset: 0 [or 3] 4. Length: 0 5. Normalization rule: LCCN [No match checks] Perhaps the problem is coming from the normalization rule. Not sure if this field is mandatory, how many normalization rules there are, etc. It would probably too easy to simply enter "OCLC" as a normalization rule when trying to match on the OCLC number ...

Locations and sublocations, again
by Cab Vinton 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Which of these is indexed/ treated as a facet in the OPAC for searching purposes?: 952 $a - Location (home branch) 952 $b - Sublocation or collection (holding branch) I'm assuming it's the latter. Many thanks, Cab Vinton, Director Sanbornton Public Library Sanbornton, NH

Re: [Koha] Counting the cost

Salve! Rather than take a decision based on your current conditions alone, I think it is wiser to think on future happenings. I must admit wondering about a manual system, too. However, you probably circulate more than my last Library did, at least when I first got there. That being said, circulation is only a small part of what is done about the Library. The time savings I enjoyed at the end of the year on inventory taking was probably enough to warrant Koha. Added to a *wonderful* OPAC, it was well worth the plodding along. Patrons remarked with frequency that they found things that they wouldn't have when the OPAC was up and running. >I will say, that despite its small size, using an OPAC like Koha would allow us to potentially serve patrons >who live across a wide geographic area, i.e. across South Africa. Also, we're thinking a Koha I am certain that in past there were Koha users in South Africa. I can remember fielding a query about monks that kept their books in several separate locations. Poke about the brush and see what you might find; it might surprise you! installation >might encourage collaborative activity as multiple organisations learn to share an ILS, and make a wider >range of library resources available to respective members, and perhaps eventually to non-members or >other libraries via inter-library loans.

I like to draw the line at degreed and non-degreed if one must get one's feathers in a ruffle about pieces of paper. I was going to ask for clarification, though. When you had said that you were on a unique method of cataloguing, did you perhaps mean a unique method of classification? It's isn't terribly rare to find the latter, but I'd love to know more about the former. So, do you have a system of putting books on the shelf and then later locating them that is out of the ordinary OR are your methods of describing the material at hand divergent?

I'd leap to the conclusion that some of your users might only want new volumes. Cheers, Brooke
