linking bibliographic records to authority records
by David Lesniaski 09 Mar '21

09 Mar '21

Hi everyone, Just by way of introduction, I teach in the MLIS program at St. Catherine Univ., St. Paul, MN, USA. We use KOHA in our program as a "sandbox" for students to experiment with in their cataloging, systems, and collection development courses. I have one somewhat involved question. We are running version 17.11.05 If I upload a batch of bibliographic records and a separate batch of authority records that match the authority controlled fields in the bib records, how do I link the two data sets without going into each bib record? That is, if I upload the marc subject authority record for "Gourmet cooking" and then upload a bib record with that as a 650, how do I get the bib 650 to connect to the authority 150 automatically? I find that if I load the authorities, then upload the bib records, when I go into/edit each bib record and save it (even if I don’t change any of the bib data), it will link to the proper authority records. Is there any way to connect the records without going into each bib record? I’ve tried a few different settings but without success. In system preferences/authorities I now have (my configuration in CAPS) - AuthorityMergeMode: When updating biblio records from an attached authority record ("merging"), handle subfields of relevant biblio record fields in LOOSE mode. - AutoCreateAuthorities: When editing records, GENERATE authority records that are missing - BiblioAddsAuthorities: When editing records, ALLOW them to automatically create new authority records if needed, … … LinkerModule: Use the DEFAULT linker module for matching headings to authority records. LinkerOptions: Set the following options for the authority linker “BROADER_HEADINGS (separate options with |) What am I missing? Any suggestions you might have are very welcome. I have a huge batch of bib & related authorities to add, and the thought of having to call up each bib record to activate the link … well … life isn’t that long! Many thanks, -- David Dr. David Lesniaski Associate Professor MLIS Program St. Catherine University 2004 Randolph Ave. #4125 St. Paul, MN 55105 dalesnaski(a)stkate.edu he, him, his

ILSDI / RESTAPI and itemcallnumber
by BOUIS Sonia 08 Mar '21

08 Mar '21

Hello, At my university, we have an issue with our discover tool that isn't able to associate different callnumber to different items through the marc data. We could activate a feature that allows the discovery tool to do webscraping of the opac page to find the different callnumbers but when we tested it, our Koha was often down because it makes too much queries at the same time. So, as we use the ILSDI webservices, I wonder if we could add the callnumber in the getavaibilty results ? I've been hearing from REST API for many years but it's too technical for me.. Does it exist to replace the getavaiblity from ILSDI ? Could we get the callnumber, the branch and the avaibility of all the items of a biblio with a rest API query ? How can we use it ? I tried something like https://myopac/cgi-bin/koha/svc/bib/a_biblionumber but I have just a white page with "not found". Any idea ?

Sandboxes now support translations
by Renvoize, Martin 08 Mar '21

08 Mar '21

Hi All, I spent a few minutes adding a new feature to the ptfs-e sandboxes today - http://sandboxes.ptfs-europe.co.uk/ You can now install a limited number of translations onto your test sandbox. Once you have a sandbox set up, you can now pick 'Install translation' from the "Actions" menu in the sandbox manager and pick to install French, German or Spanish (I tried to pick the three most popular, but let me know if you want another option added). Once you submit the form, it'll take a moment to return the output of the commands that run... you can then enable the translation via the koha system preferences inside your sandbox as usual. Hope that helps, *Martin Renvoize, MPhys (Hons)* <https://www.ptfs-europe.com> Head of Development and Community Engagement *Phone:* +44 (0) 1483 378728 *Mobile:* +44 (0) 7725 985 636 *Email:* martin.renvoize(a)ptfs-europe.com www.ptfs-europe.com *Sign up for our newsletters here <http://eepurl.com/dPjjkn> or by scanning the QR code* Registered in the United Kingdom No. 06416372 VAT Reg No. 925 7211 30 The information contained in this email message may be privileged, confidential and protected from disclosure.

Can the staff interface and the OPAC be on the same port?
by Chris Brown 07 Mar '21

07 Mar '21

Hello, Our Koha service uses port 8000 for the staff interface and port 80 for the OPAC. Recently our local council's network configuration seems to have been changed in a way that prevents us accessing port 8000 from computers connected to the council's network. (We do not know what they've done, or why, but we have so far been unsuccessful in persuading them to put things back the way they were). We can still access port 80 on the server though. So ... *is there any reason why we can't run both on port 80?* (i.e. set both INTRAPORT and OPACPORT to 80) We're running Koha 19.11 and Apache 2.4.25 Thanks and Best Regards to all, Chris Brown (Greenhill Community Library, Sheffield, England)

..until I do a DB repair/rebuild. Items are added, lookups done at LOC etc...everything seems OK... but...the items never "show up" in Koha...ie: users search for the items, but get no results until I run a rebuild/repair I'm unsure of where to even start looking? export PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib/ export KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/sites/<My_Site>/koha-conf.xml perl /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r -v -run-as-root
