Hi Giuseppe, You have mentioned that you are in the process of setting up your library and given that you are inheriting the bibliographic records from a different catalogue, I would say a cleaner approach would be to setup a parallel Koha instance, import this catalog into that and have this second instance run as a z39.50 service. Your actual instance could import the bib records from this second instance only of actual titles you have in your collection. That said, your question #1 can be addressed via some XSLT that looks if any item is attached to the bib record, i.e. <xsl:when test="count(key('item-by-status', 'available'))=0 and count(key('item-by-status', 'reference'))=0"> And then adding the modified XSLT stylesheet to your Koha via OPACXSLTResultsDisplay system preference (by overriding the default). With regard to your question #2 : At least on MARC21, when you export the MARC records, only bibs with items get exported IIRC (I would assume that the behavior should be similar for UNIMARC as well). Hope this helps.

Hello all,
sorry for bothering with a possibly silly question. I'm a beginner with Koha. We are setting up the archive of our library. Our approach to populating the archive is perhaps peculiar: indeed we have been given a unimarc backup of bibliographic records from a larger library, and thus we are expecting to mostly (but now always) add items to existing records.
So, since the beginning, our archive has a lot of bibliographic records associated with no items. Querying such a set is somehow misleading for a end user: most of the answer, indeed, will not correspond to items actually found in the library. Hence my two questions:
1) Is there a way to configure/tweak the user search interface so that only records with nonzero items will be searched? 2) Is there a way to export (for backup purposes) only records having nonzero items
(BTW the latter would also provide an alternate solution to the former)
Thanks a lot for any suggestions, and many thanks to the maintainers and contributors of this nice and useful software,
Giuseppe Ciaccio
