Very, very beginner question: Followup
by C.S. Hayward 19 May '22

Having added a first test item, I thought I would try to add to the catalog the dozen or so books that happened to be on a desk on the library. I tried to search by ISBN, and the next two books were at least technically findable on Amazon by ISBN, but did not come up in the Z39.50/SRU search. They were, respectively: St. Tikhon's Seminary Press: The Great Book of Needs, Volume III: The Occasional Services, South Canaan: St. Tikhon's Seminary Press, 1999, 1-878997-58-0 Cavarnos, Constantine, Modern Orthodox Saints: St. Cosmas Aitolos, Belmont: Instirute for Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies, 1971, 0-914744-29-1 The library contains books that people have heard about, and obscurities. If a book does not come up by ISBN, how should I be approaching entering a book for which I can find standard bibliographic information? Would it be appropriate to click on "New Record," populate a record with the fields I have (possibly incomplete) and then try to save, navigating to any mandatory fields I haven't filled in? Thanks,

Victory, or at least a start!

I have now managed to successfully complete my second goal with Koha, namely cataloguing all of the dozen or so English-language items on one particular desk. I know I still have a lot to learn, and I haven't even followed up on the advice I've gotten about adding authorities. I expect to ask more once I have digested that. Thank you for all your help reaching this point. Br. C.S. Hayward, https://c-s-hayward.com

Cataloging question - Electronic resource with no link (MARC21)
by Caroline Cyr La Rose 19 May '22

19 May '22

Hello everyone! I wanted the community's opinion on this. I have a client who has electronic versions of periodicals, but they are not accessible online. (I'm not sure how it works to get them, but I'm told the files are on a computer at one of the libraries... anyway.) I figured we could use 856$3 and/or 856$z to signify that users can see copies if they go to XYZ library. But as soon as we put something in either $3 or $z, both the staff interface and the OPAC show links (either the text is blue or it shows 'Click here to access...', even if there is nothing in 856$u or $a/$d/$f. The links don't do anything if you click on them. Does that seem like a bug or it's how MARC is supposed to work? Is it ok to use 856 to indicate that there is an electronic copy of the resource somewhere even if that copy is not on the Web? I think so, but I may be wrong. We thought about putting that info in a 5XX somewhere, but those are hidden in the Descriptions/Notes tabs and users might not see the info. Thanks for your help!

Re: [Koha] Cataloging question - Electronic resource with no link (MARC21)

Hi Jane, Thanks for your input! You're right that it's closer to a CDROM, since it's available on site rather than online. The record itself is for a paper periodical (genealogy bulletin to be precise, the library is a genealogy society run by volunteers), but one library/branch has a scanned version on a computer. They wanted to be able to indicate that only that 'branch' has those scans, in a way that would be visible and easily understandable by their users. 856 seemed the obvious choice, but the whole thing with it appearing as a link turned us off. Next choice was a 5XX note, but those are hidden in a tab. Not a lot of users would think to click on the Notes/Descriptions tab to see more. After discussing it with the client, we decided (or he decided, at my suggestion) to do exactly what you said, that is to use field 952$z of that library's item to indicate that a scanned copy is available at that library only. That field is very visible and it indicates clearly that the scanned version is at that library only. I hadn't thought of making a entire new record for the scanned version and linking the records through 776. It may have been a way to do it... Thanks again!

OPACnavright in additional contents tool
by Elaine Bradtke 18 May '22

18 May '22

21.11.05. I encountered a few problems in adding a new item to the right column in the OPAC. First, I noticed there were no options to edit the HTML, just plain text. Then when I saved it, the text repeated itself on the OPAC see https://catalogue.efdss.org/ When I look at the /koha/tools/additional-contents the item is not there at all. I can't find it to edit or delete it. But it still displays on the OPAC This may be complicated by the fact that we use the English United Kingdom translation (en-GB). Are there some settings I should look at or is this a bug? And if it's a bug, how can I delete the problem text? Thanks!
