ISBN matching for ebooks
by Joelle Hannert 20 Sep '19

20 Sep '19

Hello, I'm trying to refine my matching rules for importing staged records, and I'm having trouble setting up the right combination of match points to get matching in the way that I want. This is for loading ebook records, so if there is a matching print record I want to keep it *and* add the ebook record, but if there is a matching ebook record, I want to be able to either replace it or ignore the record so I don't have many duplicate ebook records from different vendors. Have any others found a solution for this? I want these types of scenarios to match: - Incoming 020a matches existing 020a - One of several incoming 020a match with existing 020a - Incoming 020a matches with one of several existing 020a - Incoming 020z match with existing 020z - Incoming 020z match with one of several existing 020z - One of several incoming 020z match with existing 020z - Incoming 020z match with existing 020z + text - Incoming 020z + text match with existing 020z And these types of scenarios to NOT match: - Incoming 020a match with existing 020z - Incoming 020z match with existing 020a Basically, if the ISBN and subfield of any 020 are the same, I want the system to find a match, regardless of how many other 020 fields are in the incoming/existing records. If the contents of 020 are the same but the SUBFIELDS ARE NOT (a vs. z), I don't want the system to find a match. I've tried all the combinations of record matching rules and match points I can think of, and I'm not able to get a rule combo that will even get close to what I'm hoping for (I would understand if the system can't handle matching on the numbers of the ISBN only, and ignoring extra text like "paperback.") Has anyone found a solution for loading ebook records from multiple vendors? I'd love to hear your workarounds, solutions, etc! I'm really feeling stuck here, and not wanting to add many duplicate ebook records to our catalog. -- Joelle Hannert Library Technical Services Coordinator Northwestern Michigan College (231) 995-1684 Work days: M, W, Th, F

How to make the Koha/Zebra search ignore hyphens?
by Michael Kuhn 18 Sep '19

18 Sep '19

Hi We have found that, at least in German, there are words or combinations of words that can be written in different ways, and both are correct and are meaning the same, e. g. * Ultraschallmessgerät = Ultraschall-Messgerät * Sintiswing = Sinti-Swing * Teeei = Tee-Ei * Haftpflichtversicherungsgesellschaft = Haftpflicht-Versicherungsgesellschaft This is a general concept in German, so it makes no sense to add a "used for/see from:" in the authority data. Anyway, such words can exist everywhere in the bibliographic record, not only in fields linked to authority fields. Now the question: is there a way how to teach Koha (or Zebra) to look for the second term also when the first term is searched, and vice versa? Or shorter: Just to ignore the hyphens? Using the standard configuration Koha will not find the second term if the first one is searched, and vice bversa. We would appreciate any hint or tip!
