Is thers some shortcut to change all of an incoming batch of MARC-21 records to have the same holdings information? If so, could someone here kindly guide me through it?
yes, it possible. You need to manipolate your vendor file and insert, for every record a tag 952. The structure of 952 id http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:documentation:marc21holdings_holdings_da... Koha Item Type: Electronic book -> 952$y Collection code: Ebooks -> 952$8 Shelving Location: EBOOKS -> 952$c
Before uploading the MARC file for the first 200+ records, I used a text editor that could handle large files and prepended our EZproxy string onto the book's URL using a macro. That went smoothly. If there is no shortcut or tool in Koha for changing holdings on a large batch of records at once, is there some workaround using an external tool that would let me edit the information into the records before uploading them?
If you need to insert the exact same value in every 952, you can use a text editor. You can use also MarcEdit, and advanced MARC editor. To more advanced manipulation you need to write a specific script. Attention that the structure of 952 that I write you is the default structure of Koha 3.0.x/3.1.x LEK could be different.
And if anyone can tell me how to add an 099 field to an item that isn't imported with one, I'd be most grateful to learn that. We are using 3.01.00.037 with LibLime Enterprise Koha build: 4.0100000.
You need to setup the field 099 as you lke in you cataloguing framework. But I don't know if LEK allows you to do it. In Koha: Home › Administration › MARC Frameworks > (select the framework and read the help). http://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.0/administration/catalog-administrati...
And yes, I do know LEK isn't real open source Koha, but there isn't a LEK user's list which I can join. The support list LibLime set up for bug reports has booted me and some other subscribers off because, I was told, they wanted to limit participation on that list as there was getting to be to much traffic.
I think is quite strange, you have paid to have support to LibLime. Bye
