Search result with broken biblio link, missing biblio number
by Coehoorn, Joel 02 Aug '13

02 Aug '13

I'm trying to import some biblios into koha using staged record management, and I'm seeing some odd results. After indexing, I search and be able to find my new biblio record, but the search results with end up with a link where the biblio number is missing, like this: http://koha.york.edu:8080/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/detail.pl?biblionumber= Same results in the OPAC. This has happened on several items that have a **lot** of holdings... things like periodicals for which we have decades worth of material. I can look in the database or staged record management and see that a biblio does actually exist, was created. I can get even paste the biblio number at the end of the link and see all my holdings there. It's just the link in the search results is broken. Why does this happen? How can I fix it?

Theoretical question
by James Weinheimer 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

All, I guess this is the right list for this question. I am doing some consideration of Koha, and I need a technical opinion. I have read several papers that have given the following example that they say shows how important is the FRBR structure: you may want to place holds on an entire expression. What this means is that you may want to place a hold on Mark Twain's "Huck Finn" and you don't care which version you get--you don't care who published it or when, if there are different editions and so on--you just want the next one. What currently brings together the "editions" are two things: the uniform title (MARC21 240 field), or it could be several fields together: the same 245$a, 100 field (there may be other fields/subfields as I think about it more, but this is just theoretical) Could you automate it so that when you place a hold on one item, you could be asked if you wanted to place a hold on "other versions" and it would place a hold marking all of the items of all of the different versions. I realize that this doesn't end it, so that if you have 20 copies of Huck Finn and one person puts a hold for the next copy, we would want that nobody can check out anything until the one person who has placed the hold has taken it, but that is not important right now. I mainly want to know if these people are right who are saying that you need an FRBR structure to do something like this. It seems to me as if this could be automated.

Author appearance in OPAC
by Modongo 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

I am using Koha 3.10. In the Catalog, the Author entries are made in field 100 ^a. Please let me know what else we should do to ensure the author entry appears in the OPAC during retrieval of any record of a library item. Currently, what appears instantly is the title only, and not both the title and author as I see in other libraries using Koha. Thank you.

Library filter on duplicate isbn report?
by Jeremy Evans 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

I am wanting to generate a list of duplicate isbns from our catalogue (so I can see which bib records need merging) - but only where they are duplicated at 2 specific branches. I have imported this report from the koha report library: SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(b.biblionumber SEPARATOR ', ') AS biblionumbers, b.title, b.author, GROUP_CONCAT(i.isbn SEPARATOR ', ') AS isbns FROM biblio b LEFT JOIN biblioitems i ON (i.biblionumber=b.biblionumber) GROUP BY CONCAT(substr(b.title,0,9),"/",i.isbn) HAVING COUNT(CONCAT(substr(b.title,0,9),"/",i.isbn))>1 I need restrict the report to just list items that are duplicated at 2 specific libraries. I tried to add WHERE homebranch=<<Owning branch|branches>> into the clause & ORed these together but I just get an array error message when I try to run it. How do I get the branch filter to work for this? Many thanks, Jeremy
