Interesting report request
by Nicole Engard 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

I think this can be done - but I'm not sure how to tackle it. I got this request for a report to find items that probably got missed at checkin so the staff can go look to the shelves to find these items. The question was - could we take the set of patrons who had items due during a three day period (today, tomorrow and yesterday?) And limit that to patrons who we have actual recorded checkins for during that time period and then produce a list of other items that these patrons had checked out that were due during the same three day period and generate this list of items --- in order to do a quick check to see if we actually received them but missed checking them in? Ideas?

Re: [Koha] MARC export - not exporting everything?
by Elaine Bradtke 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

l looked at bug 11940. Our records aren't usually very large, and my first attempt was for a subset of records that do not have any items attached. The problem reported in 11940 seems to be something that happens when there are too many items. I have tested an XML export of of the subset of records selected by item type, but got the same results, an empty file. However, export all records with items attached does work in XML (whereas it doesn't in plain MARC). Part of the problems seems to be related to limiting by item type. I'm assuming this item type is the one stored in MARC21 942$c If it was pulling it from the item record that would explain why I get 0 records if I limit it by item type. I'm looking around on Bugzilla now to see if anything matches what we're experiencing.

On export existing isis-catalog to the Koha environment
by zolot 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

Hello Koha-community ! I have the following problem. The library e-catalog of our Institute is located on the library computer (OS Windows XP). This catalog has been created by means of the program "CDS/ISIS for Windows". I would like to test a package Koha. For this purpose our administrator has downloaded the Koha-2pi on the server of our Institute (other computer, OS Linux Fedora). Using Intranet, I can see and test this Koha-package on the library computer, but I don't know how to export the mentioned catalog in the environment of Koha. Please, help me. Thank you.

Re: [Koha] Homebranch in biblio record

For the logic of MARC (and Koha), the 'homebranch' is *not* a biblio attribute (the biblio is a description of a book that can be anywhere in the world); your copy of it (the item) is in your library and recorded as such at 952$a If (for whatever reason) you need it for temporary import purposes, you could use 'notes' 500$a but this is a long way from the intent and normal usage of MARC21. Maybe you should explain *why* you want it in the biblio? You might also want to refer to the logic schema of Koha at <http://schema.koha-community.org> Paul

Homebranch in biblio record
by Sander898 29 Mar '14

29 Mar '14

Hi all, I have one question regarding the migration of all the record of a Library that I will go to import in an existing installation of Koha where I have all the record of another Library. Is there a way to indicate the homebranch of the books also in the biblio record? Something like a nomarc tag to put in the biblio record, that Koha can recognize when it searches for homebrach. Now I can do this only in item record. Thank you very much for your help.

Auto update authority in biblio record after importation
by Alex87 29 Mar '14

29 Mar '14

Hi all, I have just import through /misc/bulkmarcimport.pl -a -file /auth.mrc some authority record, in wich I have put the same number in 001 MARC tag in order to overwrite exiting authority record. All seems to go fine, but the problem is that when I search for a biblio record with an autority that I have just import I see the old (overwritten) authority form, to update this I have to open (one by one) the new imported authority and save those. Is there a way to update also the biblio record associated to the autority that I import in the catalogue (I have the "dontmerge" preferences set up in "Do"). Thank you very much for you help Alex -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Auto-update-authority-in-biblio-record-af… Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
