How to record bound volume serials?
by Arup Raychaudhury 23 Nov '13

23 Nov '13

I shall be grateful if anybody can guide me in this matter. I understand Koha does not use 853 Tag. Say, I have a serial "All India Cooperative Bulletin" and received its 4 issues of volume 53 in Koha. Individual issue with unique bar code. Now, it has been bound into a physical volume How do I record this bound volume of of the serial in Koha? What happens to loose issue item records? -- Arup Raychaudhury

Question re 3.12
by Denise Gavio 22 Nov '13

22 Nov '13

Hello all, I would like to introduce myself, my name is Denise and my Library migrated to Koha in August. We are still trying to sort things out as you can imagine. I have 2 specific questions I would like to ask: 1. Does version 3.12 carry the 264 field? (we should be upgraded soon) 2. We want to monitor our standing orders for monographic series (i.e. order is for the series but volumes are catalogued separately each with its own item) in Koha. We would like to register invoices/payments under a single "master" record for the series rather than under the individual volumes so that we can have a single view of its status. In our previous system we created a suppressed record for this maintenance function, clunky but workable. Has anyone out there found a good working solution in Koha? Thanks in advance for your help!

Importing books creates multiple items
by magmatic 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

I'm importing a csv file of books into Koha, using MarcEdit. The fields are: author, title, publisher, year, item type, barcode, and shelf location. It looks like I'm getting two items for every line in the file. One item contains the correct barcode, and the other item contains the correct shelf location. Anyone have any ideas where I'm going wrong? And this might be a related question: what is the difference between an authority record and a bib record? Thanks -- Tim -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Importing-books-creates-multiple-items-tp… Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

OPAC Search For Title In doesn't display
by Elaine Bradtke 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

Koha 3.12 (and 3.14) I was considering ways to link our Koha catalogue to the catalogue of our online archives. In Administration there's OPACSearchForTitleIn - which has some html already in there. But it doesn't appear on our OPAC, and any additions I make to that html also do not appear. Is there another setting that controls this? I didn't find any information on such a setting in the manual. -- Elaine Bradtke Data Wrangler VWML English Folk Dance and Song Society | http://www.efdss.org Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 (This number is for the English Folk Dance and Song Society in London, England.
