Question about changing the material type in a Koha record
by Ratliff, Ramona 08 Nov '23

08 Nov '23

I haven't been cataloging very long, and so I am still learning. Can someone please tell me how to change the material type in a Koha record? In our basic records, I cannot access the 336, 337 and 338 tags. Can you still change the material type without those tags ? *Ramona Ratliff * Information Specialist *York University* Office: (402) 363-5708 | rjratliff(a)york.edu <email(a)york.edu> | *york.edu <http://www.york.edu/>*

Re: [Koha] Wrong person listed in 245$c statement of responsibility after import
by Aida Djikic 07 Nov '23

07 Nov '23

Hello Katrin, if you have the author in 100$a and 245$c it should work out. I re-exported from Excel and double-checked to make sure they are the same (100$a has the author as Surname, Name, and 245$c as Name Surname). could you please clarify this part, I'm not sure what you meant: Maybe one common mistake: when creating items and maybe other fields, make sure that all subfields for one item are within the same field: 952$a...$b... instead of separate 952 fields. Do you mean keeping them all in same column in Excel or joining them later in MarcEdit? Message: 2 Date: Sat, 4 Nov 2023 12:46:19 +0100 From: Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer.83(a)web.de> To: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: Re: [Koha] Wrong person listed in 245$c statement of responsibility after import Message-ID: <49b4feae-d137-4076-ae8e-362df8fed65e(a)web.de> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Hi, I don't see any obvious mistake in the mapping, but if you have the author in 100$a and 245$c it should work out. Koha imports the MARC record as is, not making changes to it (unless you are using MARC modification templates). Maybe one common mistake: when creating items and maybe other fields, make sure that all subfields for one item are within the same field: 952$a...$b... instead of separate 952 fields. Hope this helps, Katrin -- Regards, Aida

Question on MARC Frameworks and Staging/Importing records
by Bruns, Anke 06 Nov '23

06 Nov '23

Hi, as I inadvertently imported some batches of records with the standard framework instead of the library's configured one, I think about how this can be corrected without having to repeat the imports. Can one a) recognize and b) batch change the MARC framework with which records have been imported via the WWW interface?

Wrong person listed in 245$c statement of responsibility after import
by Aida Djikic 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

Hello all, What could I be doing wrong when it comes to my attempt to import theses and dissertations into Koha via MarcEdit? They were exported from an old program not really meant for libraries and have been saved as an Excel file. Some of these records would be treated as items in Koha, but in that program they were duplicates distinguished by additional designation added to the call numbers. After some early issues I thought I had worked them out, and have focused on cleaning up the data since so I can continue importing it. However, recently I noticed that the persons listed in 245$c statement of responsibility do not correspond to the person that should be there (the author of the thesis). I am wondering where I could have made a mistake in the import process that could have resulted in such an error. These are the fields I ultimately decided to use in Excel, with the help of Fred and Lauren (names in the example redacted for privacy): 003$0 Control number identifier BA-SaSST 040$c Transcribing agency BA-SaSST 041$a Language eng 080$a UDC 004.65 080$x UDC aux (043.2) 100$a Author Surname, Name 245$a Title Software application for accounting and quantity management of goods : 245$b Remainder of title undergraduate thesis / 245$c Statement of responsibility, etc. Name Surname 264$a Place of publication Sarajevo 264$b Publisher N. Surname 264$c Year of publication 2008 300$a Physical description (pages) [ ], [ ] pages 300$b Physical description (illustr. etc.) ill. ; 300$c Physical description (dimensions) 30 cm. 500$a General note Includes an abstract. 502$a Dissertation note Computer Science major with Economics minor 502$b Degree type Undergraduate degree 502$c Degree granting institution [dgg] University Sarajevo School of Science and Technology 502$d Year degree granted 2008 504$a Bibliographical and other notes Includes bibliography and other notes. 526$a Study program information Undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Economics 563$a Binding Perfect paperback 700$a Thesis advisor [name] Surname, Name 700$e Thesis advisor [relator term] Thesis advisor 546$a Language English 650$a Subject added entry Computer science 653$a Index term - uncontrolled Economics 942$c Koha Item type TH 952$a Home library LBRM21 952$b Current library LBRM21 952$1 Lost 0 952$8 Collection code BSc_CS-ECON 952$c Location THESES 952$i Inventory number T0013/2008 952$o Full call number 004.65(043.2) SUR Sof 952$t copy number 1 952$p Barcode SSSTKL0000001 952$y Item TH Should I only import records at first, then add items from within Koha? In addition to the above issue, I have also noticed that the import doesn't result in a record + an item in cases where I have two or more copies of a thesis but it imports them as separate records. How can I make sure to import multiple copies as items? I was thinking about asking this at the next cataloging SIG but I am not certain I would make it. Thank you in advance! -- Regards, Aida
