I work in a library that catalogs separately each volume of a multivolume book. I'm testing koha for a couple of days and today I tried to catalog a multivolume book. We have an ILS in which we can catalog the multivolume book as a whole without adding items, then we catalog each volume and use the linking bloc 4 (461) from unimarc to link to the set level and add items to each volume. I'm not sure now if this is possible in koha. Am I missing something? I apriciate some tips.
Koha in the stable version (3.2.3 now) has a very basic support for this catalouging workflow. You need to: a)Use the standard subfield tecnique (no embedded fields) b)Insert the subfields $t [title] and $0 [id of record]. Amit Gupta, Savitra Sirohi and I we are working os support of a tool to make easy the analytical records linking (the reverse of your situation, a father/host record with items, sons without items). Jared Camins amd Katrin Fisher are working on an other solution for linking. So the summary: a)Now you need to do all by hand and probably the support is not perfect. b)We are working on a better solution. Bye Zeno Tajoli
