Re: [Koha] Problem with MARC tag structure admin (and others)

Scott, The browser was the problem, and because of that I couldn't see all of the fields to set the tabs. Using Mozilla worked and then I was able to set up the MARC tab structure the way I wanted. Now, I want to load my biblio data. I have it set up in MARC21 format and am ready to use the bulkmarcimport.pl script to load it. I've already tried it on a few records on the sample database and it works. But... I want to load it into the "blank200" db and checking in that db, there is no MARC tag data. Is there a quick and safe way to import the data from the sample200 db? One that will make sure the indexes and links are kept intact? And, BTW, should the IE browser incompatibility be noted as a bug? Dana Huff

Importing data into MARC
by Andres Tarallo 07 Sep '04

07 Sep '04

We're currently finishing our mapping to import our database (CEPAL catalog in DOS/ISIS) to Koha. We have a question, and we want to know the best solution to feed data for bulkmarcimport.pl. Our library has two databases. The first one has a detailed description of each title avaliable in the library; this database has one record for each title we have, no matter how many copies of it we have. The second one has all the purchase information, in this database you have one record for every copy of a book you have. Both databases are releted via a pointer in the first one that references the records of the second one. Now, we don't want to lose information and we're facing that many of our books have many copies, so we want to know whats the best way to build our MARC records, A record with full information from both databases for each book we have? Thanks for your feedback Andres

Tuesday, August 31, 2004 17:48 CDT Hi, Andres, First off, kudos on what you were saying yesterday regarding salaries. I couldn't have agreed with you more. As for your databases, I suppose the solution you would want would bring the copy specific information in the second database into the title specific records of the first. Perhaps someone else on the listserv can suggest/help write a script that could merge the databases. How many records are we talking about? And how many fields of information do you want/need preserved from the second database with the purchase info? In terms of MARC coding solutions, would the 852 field suffice alone? The $z subfield is repeating. There is also the 541 note which is repeating and could be incorporated to contain more copy-specific information with defined subfields. Check that out at URL <http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/ecbdnot2.html#mrcb541>. Take a look at the Holdings information at URL <http://www.loc.gov/marc/holdings/echditem.html> ; this gives guidance on embedding holdings information, i.e. including an 876 note within each MARC record for an item. You would be repeating the 852 field (and/or 541) for each different copy of the item within the item record and (keeping in mind that I've never had to do this but from my reading) you would be linking these to their corresponding 876 notes (which have enough fields available for fairly detailed acquisitions data) using the $8 to clarify which item was meant (I suppose the bar code would be the natural choice). I hope this helps a bit. Let us know how things progress. Cheers, Steven F.

port-based virtual hosting

Since it took me a little time to work this out, I thought I would post this for this archive.

access to the librarian interface
by Sims, Benjamin 01 Sep '04

01 Sep '04

Its all coming together now, I apologise for flooding the list with questions. How is access to the librarian interface possible? The Manual mentions access through .htaccess or AuthenDBI. However, at the moment I have neither set up and am still refused access due to incorrect user name and password. Is there a way to work round this? The site is purely a demonstration, at the moment the ability to show it is more important than security.
