Batch item editing
by David Schuster 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

I am exploring Koha and we batch load our holdings into a generic location. Then we need to batch edit the items to the appropriate collection/location etc. Is this available in Koha? or is there a batch modification option that if I scan the barcodes it would change their settings based on a default I set during that session? Thanks David -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Batch-item-editing-tf3529592.html#a9849914 Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Wednesday, April 4, 2007 18:01 CDT Hi, Danica, If you have been able to get the records out in MARC format now, one solution to the problem with messed up diacritics (common problem in records migration by the way) would be to use the free utility MARCBreaker, available from the Library of Congress MARC Records, Systems and Tools page, and bundled as part of MARCEdit, available via a link off the same page, at URL <http://www.loc.gov/marc/marctools.html> to break the records into an editable tagged MARC format and then use MARCEdit's search and replace functions to replace systematically the messed up special characters. If you need help with that, let me know off listserv and I'll see what I can do to help. Perhaps someone else will have a more elegant solution, but I am certain that this would work (at least if the same diacritic character always yielded the same error). Good luck with the rest of your data migration and Koha setup! Cheers, Steven F.

The WinISIS export settings sent by Veronica and Rado helped and database is converted successfully yet.

Fw: From CDS/ISIS to Koha
by Danica Zendulková 04 Apr '07

04 Apr '07

Hello, has had anybody an experience with conversion from CDS/ISIS database to Koha? We have following problem: import from iso2709 from WinISIS doesn't made correct records. Number of imported records is correct but differents fields are not recognized correctly. I.e. first numbers of iso record: 008620000000002650004500003000500... etc are considered as field. It is possible that Koha does not recognize ^ indicator of subfield when CDS/ISIS database is made on Windows? Our Koha runs on Linux. Please help! Regards Ing. Danica Zendulková Slovak Republic

I keep making more mistakes. Meant to send this to koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz. Sorry again. Mark -----Original Message----- From: Bruffey, Mark Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2007 8:38 AM To: KOHA (koha-devel(a)nongnu.org) Subject: Replace rel_2_2 with dev_week ? Reposting, because I think I made an error in the manner in which I posted it previously. Sorry. I'm trying to understand the relationship between the document "Updating KOHA" and the document "Installing and Configuring KOHA's Zebra Plugin." Following a fresh install of 2.2.8, I seem to have successfully implemented the instructions in "Updating KOHA." At least the interfaces come up. (I have inserted only one record into the database at this point; intranet db searching is fine, opac errors out in search iface but not a great concern at this point.) Comments: In "Updating KOHA" p.4, it would be helpful to clarify that $KOHA_WORKING_DIR ends up being $KOHA_WORKING_DIR/koha for the purpose of the symbolic links--or at least it did for me. Assuming I did get that right (I used MC to match contents of directories before executing ln -s in each case), I now want to "Install and Configure KOHA's Zebra Plugin." I've figured out the instructions up to _Prepare the Filesystem_, but now, stuck. I can't figure out if I am supposed to ditch all the symlinks I just created for cvs rel_2_2 in favor of dev_week. I have downloaded both into separate directories, but it looks like linking dev_week into /koha will overlap with rel_2_2 links. Should I just eliminate the rel_2_2 links and replace with the dev_week? Thanks, Mark L.

Is there an efficient way to manage the MARC frameworks? (User from China)
by Hero_xbd!.RRR 04 Apr '07

04 Apr '07

Hello, everybody, I am a undergraduate and currently leading a project upgrading the library of our department from card-category to an ILS using Koha-2.2.8 on Debian. All the installation seem successful. Koha is friendly enough to install :) Now I come to stage of modifying the MARC framework. Our library is small (of about 12000 books). I want to use the MARC format (opposed to Traditional Koha way, as mentioned in the manual) to get more features and export book lists. At the same time I don't want to mess up with all the fields in the default framework (we are inputting records by hand, we want only keep 7-8 fields at the beginning). So I begin to add a new framework cloned from 'default' and delete the unwanted tags, and found it really time-consuming. Is there a way to delete several tags at one attempt? Or can I create an empty framework and add tags from scratch? Or can I import a more simplified framework (like the ones in the demo site on liblime.com)? Another Question: I would like to call for the students around me to join in the project. There may be 100 people involved. I want to keep track of who inputed how many records, and export a rank list for reports to the department authority. What should I do to achieve this goal? And there will be a great pain to add people one by one. Is there a good way to authorize, e.g. using students' ID as both user/password and keep track? Thanks in advance!

It's not automatical, but based on confidence in the cataloger who select his own name in the list. And after it's simple to search on this tag !
