Mapping items -- Is it this hard for everyone or am I missing the big picture.

Test Result # *itemnum* The field itemnum MUST be mapped # The corresponding subfield MUST be in with -1 (ignore) tab *itemtype NOT mapped* the biblioitems.itemtype field MUST : # be mapped to a MARC subfield, # the correspounding subfield MUST have authorised_value="itemtype" OK /branch table filled with at least 1 value/ *homebranch NOT mapped* the items.homebranch field MUST : # be mapped to a MARC subfield, # the correspounding subfield MUST have authorised value="branches" *holdingbranch NOT mapped* the items.holdingbranch field MUST : # be mapped to a MARC subfield, # the correspounding subfield MUST have authorised value="branches" *biblio and biblionumber* The biblio.biblionumber and biblioitems.biblioitemnumber fields MUST : # be mapped to a MARC subfield, # be in the SAME tag (for example : 090$a and 090$b) # be in tab -1 OK /no NULL value in frameworkcode/ *TOTAL* You have *5* error(s) in your MARC configuration. Please fix them before using koh Here are the errors that I am getting when I run my MARC Check. Questions that I have, 1. Where to I map the itemtype? I know that the item type is on the 000 line of the Marc record in spots 5 and 6. I just don't know where to input that information into Koha. 2. itemnum is on line 001 of my MARC record, again how do I map this? 3. homebranch and holdingbranch -- I don't understand the differences between these two parameters or again as before, how to map these. 4. biblio and biblionumber - I am not sure what these are and how they would be different from the item number. Thank you for any assistance, By the time I finish with this, I believe I was have the materials and ability to do some screen casting to build instructions on doing this with more ease and finesse than I have managed. If I build some things like this, is there a place to host them. I can host on my site so I guess more I am looking for the ability to provide links to these.

I adapted the following method to install Koha 1- Installation of Active Perl 5.8.8 Build 817 at C:\usr 2- Installation of Apache 2.0.58 at C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache 3- Installation of MySQL 4.0.18 at C:\MySQL 4- Installation of Koha2.2.4-W32-R0 at default location Note: During installation, there is no error. Is this right method to install?

2.2.6 - Adding a MARC Field
by Joe Fleener 14 Nov '06

14 Nov '06

Prior to 2.2.6 when editing or creating a MARC record if I wanted a duplicate 650 field I simply clicked the + sign to the right of the 650 and was give an additional 650 as desired. Now, with 2.2.6 when I click the + I am given a small field to the immediate right of the + sign. I am not sure what that is or what I am supposed to do with that. Any help would be appreciated. - You can see an image of what I am talking about here: http://tsbc.digitalexegesis.com/Duplicate_Field.JPG Joe Fleener jfleener(a)digitalexegesis.com Site - http://www.digitalexegesis.com Blog - http://emethaletheia.blogspot.com/ BibleWorks Trainer - http://schedule.digitalexegesis.com/bibleworks.html Director of Distance Learning/Library Director The Shepherd's Bible College PO BOX 8229 Havelock North New Zealand Ph. +64 6 877-8013 Mob +64 021 998617 Fax +64 6 877-5821 www.tsbc.org.nz http://library.tsbc.org.nz Library and Information Services Coordinator The Master's Academy International 24307 Magic Mountain Parkway #540 Valencia, CA 91355-3402 (661) 295-6232 www.tmainternational.org

Salvete! This is a little frustrating. I don't think that you're missing the big picture, but I think your download might be corrupted if you're not seeing anything at all on Links Koha ---> MARC DB. Out of curiousity, what version of MySQL are you running? Here are the MARC fields that I have linked. Item number is 952u itemtype 300f homebranch is 952b biblionumber 090c biblioitemnumber 090d Cheers, Brooke @ Hinsdale MA >I guess my more important question is whether these mappings are done in >cgi-bin/koha/admin/koha I have tried the Links Koha---> Mapping DB page >and each drop down menu is empty. > >Thanks again, > >Darla > >Darla Grediagin wrote: > >> Test Result >> # *itemnum* The field itemnum MUST be mapped >> # The corresponding subfield MUST be in with -1 (ignore) tab >> *itemtype NOT mapped* the biblioitems.itemtype field MUST : >> # be mapped to a MARC subfield, >> # the correspounding subfield MUST have authorised_value="itemtype" >> OK /branch table filled with at least 1 value/ >> *homebranch NOT mapped* the items.homebranch field MUST : >> # be mapped to a MARC subfield, >> # the correspounding subfield MUST have authorised value="branches" >> *holdingbranch NOT mapped* the items.holdingbranch field MUST : >> # be mapped to a MARC subfield, >> # the correspounding subfield MUST have authorised value="branches" >> *biblio and biblionumber* The biblio.biblionumber and >> biblioitems.biblioitemnumber fields MUST : >> # be mapped to a MARC subfield, >> # be in the SAME tag (for example : 090$a and 090$b) >> # be in tab -1 >> OK /no NULL value in frameworkcode/ >> *TOTAL* You have *5* error(s) in your MARC configuration.

Hi, I am just beginning a search for an open source library management system for a small specialist library. Are there any Irish or UK based users of Koha that could offer an insight into Koha. Thanks, Jenny

Searching catalog record for Arabic, Chinese character
by fclick＠streamyx.com 14 Nov '06

14 Nov '06

Greetings, I am currently playing around with KOHA v2.2.6. I tried to insert a record in catalog using arabic title as well as inserting a new member which name is using arabic. when i try to search for patron using the arabic name it successfully found the patron. However when i try to search a catalog record using arabic title (where i type arabic in the searc field) it cannot find the record. so i need to search using isbn number or other non arabic data in the record to get the record. Displaying of arabic is fine. Just i cant search. Is there any trick for this? Cause for patron searching is working but not for catalog record. Thanks Regards, Kow Ming Foong

Duplicate 300f (Physical Description) field
by T & J Kotula 14 Nov '06

14 Nov '06

Hi, I have noticed that for some biblio items I get a duplicate "Physical Description" field. When I view it (/cgi-bin/koha/MARCdetail.pl?bib=xyz) prior to editing it, it shows correctly only one 300f field. However once I click on "Edit biblio" I get a duplicate "Physical Description" field. If I then "Save Bibliographic Record and go to Items" and view it again (MARCdetail.pl?bib=xyz) I see now two 300f fields. If I then click on "Edit biblio' I get three 300f fields.... They just seem to grow. I have also noticed a similar behaviour with 245a and 245c fields (again only on some biblios). They also seem to duplicate when I click on "Edit biblio", however the additional one does not get saved with "Save Bibliographic Record and go to Items". Would anyone know if this is caused by a corrupt database or a subtle koha bug? What can I do to fix it or diagnose it further. I'm running koha2.2.6 on FC4. MARC check does not report any errors. Many thanks tomasz kotula.

Setting parameters
by Darla Grediagin 13 Nov '06

13 Nov '06

Good morning, I am working on setting the parameters. When I open up the screen that is titled, "Choose and validate 1 of the following biblioitems.biblionumber" I have drop boxes that have nothing next to them or in them on the left side of the screen. I have boxes that say "ok" on the right hand of the screen. On the bottom there is a button that says "To unmap click here". My question is "Is there something wrong with the install or something wrong with how I am looking at this?" As always, any help is appreciated and will be happily given back someday when I know what I am doing.
