Hi Tarek I think we faced this problem when you were at the NTI, and we avoided it, but I can't remember what the other circumsatnces were. are you uploading these records using MARC format.. ? what I can remember is this problem happens while importing a MARC record and this MARC record has some similsrities to another record which is uploaded to the system before. when the system detects these similarties it add the new item as a copy of an existed biblio record and it does not add the biblio record itself. I will check the problem and see what I did exactly to solve it and email you back Mohamed Amin Senior Network Administrator National Training Institute Cairo, Egypt ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Tarek Mehrem" <tarek.mehrem@guc.edu.eg> To: <koha@lists.katipo.co.nz> Subject: [Koha] Leaking records Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2004 10:01:46 +0200 Hi, I'm a librarian, and I've been using KOHA for more than 6 months. I think it is a great system, but recently I noticed 2 problems: 1- Some times I discover that there are leaks in the circulation and members modules, meaning that some times when a student is returning a book I discover that it was not registered in the system although I'm sure I did, not only me but also my colleague. 2- If me and my colleague are entering records at the same time, the system puts my barcode number for my colleague's book. Is the reason that the system only handles one person per module?
