how to classify e-books/e-readers
by Giuseppe Angilella 09 Jun '17

09 Jun '17

Hi, my library purchased a few e-readers (Kindles), which I am going to populate with e-books soon. Each e-reader is likely to eventually contain the same collection of e-books, but should of course be available for loan separately. I assume that a separate MARC record should be entered for each different e-book, but how do I enter a record (and an associated item) for each e-reader? I am sure this topic has been dealt with earlier, but I could not find specific solutions in the mailing list's thread (apologies). Many thanks and best regards, Giuseppe.

Trying to install Koha 17.05 from Debian package
by Chris Brown 09 Jun '17

09 Jun '17

Hello, I decided to try installing koha 17.05 onto Debian (8.7). After adding deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha stable main to sources.list and doing: apt-get update if I run "apt-cache show koha-common" it reports koha version 16.11.08. Am I doing something wrong or is it simply that the debian packages haven't yet been updated to 17.05? If so, what's the most straightforward way to install it? Thanks and Best Regards, Chris Brown

Wiki Account Requests
by BWS Johnson 09 Jun '17

09 Jun '17

Kia ora! Good news, currently there are no account requests pending in the Wiki queue. I try and check once a week or so for pending requests. I'd like to thank David Nind for often beating me to the punch. With his help and others, the queue seems to be maintained in good form with minimal effort. I'm just a little worried about two things. 1) Are we overblocking? Some bots are very obvious to spot. Others can be difficult. The latter always has me worried that I might have held a valid request rather than approve it. If this has happened to you, please do contact me off list to say something unbotty and I will ensure that you get your account as soon as I have a second to do so. 2) Am I underblocking? I like to give users in the queue the benefit of the doubt, but I've wondered now and again if I've let a vandal through. Will someone please let me know if I've dropped the ball in the last year or so. Also, please do tell me if something bad happens in future so that I can look at the bad accounts and make a note to not let similar ones by in future. Thanks for contributing to the Wiki! Cheers, Brooke

Editing content of MARC field 300 - is this the way to go?
by Michael Kuhn 07 Jun '17

07 Jun '17

Hi We are working with Debian 8 and a package installation of Koha 16.11.04. The database is filled with bibliographic records which are connected to tables "issues" and "biblioitems", also they are linked to authority data. We want to edit the content of MARC field 300 which may look like: <datafield tag="300" ind1=" " ind2=" "> <subfield code="a">1 map : col. ; 34 x 47 cm</subfield> <subfield code="c">9 pictures</subfield> </datafield> to (for example): <datafield tag="300" ind1=" " ind2=" "> <subfield code="a">NEW CONTENT FOR THIS RECORD</subfield> </datafield> It seems not possible to do this using Koha menu "Tools > MARC modification templates" since the new content of MARC field 300 is different for every records and I would have to create many thousands of template actions. Thus I have tried the following: 1. I have unloaded the content of field "marcxml" for every record in table "biblioitems" and cut off everything except the tags and content for MARC field 300. I have then created an SQL statement replacing this content with the new content for the affected record: UPDATE biblioitems SET marcxml = REPLACE( marcxml, '<datafield tag="300" ind1=" " ind2=" ">\n <subfield code="a">1 map :</subfield>\n <subfield code="b">col. ;</subfield>\n <subfield code="c">34 x 47 cm. fold. to 25 x 10 cm.</subfield>', '<datafield tag="300" ind1=" " ind2=" ">\n <subfield code="a">NEW CONTENT FOR THIS RECORD</subfield>') WHERE ExtractValue(biblioitems.marcxml,'//controlfield[@tag="001"]') = 5451649; 2. Like this the content for MARC field 300 in field "marcxml" was correctly changed and I can immediately see the desired result in the Koha OPAC and staff client. No reindexing was needed. 3. But the content of tag <leader> in field "marcxml" has NOT changed (so it still shows the old number of characters of the record). I don't know if this is a problem or how it could be easily solved. My question: Is this the way to go or does anyone have another idea how to accomplish this task? Maybe this is even described in some documentation?

008 form of material will only ever say Books
by Elaine Bradtke 07 Jun '17

07 Jun '17

Please tak a look at biblio 75117 - http://catalogue.efdss.org/ It's a sound recording, but it insists that it is a book. The 007 is set for sound recording, but the material type in the 008 always says Books. I have tried at least a dozen times (and two different browsers) and I can not change it to say sound recording. Every time I edit the 008 it changes back to book. If I edit other parts of the 008, those changes stick, but not the type of material. I downloaded the record, edited it off line and uploaded it again, and the 008 *still *reverted to book. I know the Fixed field pop up editors have compatibility problems with adblock and such, so I've used Firefox without add-ons or extensions, and also a plain version of Chrome. We're currently running 16.11.08 I am checking with the cataloguers to see if they have seen this elsewhere, or if it's just one rogue record. They're about to start in on a large collection of recordings so I hope to solve this soon. Any ideas? Anyone else seen this sort of thing?
