Thank you Heather & Mark, I am on the right track now..., but I am going to need to better edit my text strings now in 952 (which means some going back and reworking etc). I assume I can add the subfields in the order listed numerically/alphabetically instead of the order you have them listed? I am glad I asked this question now. Whew! Again, thanks a lot. Very helpful indeed. Jesse On Fri, May 29, 2015 at 3:48 PM, Hernandez, Heather < heather_hernandez@nps.gov> wrote:
Hi, Jesse--
I catalog on OCLC's Connexion Client, and use the "Text String" tool to set up my most commonly used fields in the 952--it's really handy, and generates my most commonly used 952 with a keystroke. I've found that it's faster to create the item records on OCLC with 952 fields & import it into Koha, even when I'm cataloging a title with many items.
This is a typical 952 for us (we don't have separate branches, and use LC call numbers): ǂ2 lcc ǂa SFMARITIME ǂb SFMARITIME ǂc STACKS ǂy BOOK ǂo VM600 O8 1999 ǂh v.1 ǂp 188336
Hope this is helpful! Cheerio, heather ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Heather Hernandez Technical Services Librarian San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park Research Center 415-561-7032, heather_hernandez@nps.gov http://www.nps.gov/safr/learn/historyculture/museum-collections.htm
