Hi,
Check the difference between http://man.waldo.kohalibrary.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=20... and http://man.waldo.kohalibrary.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=21...
Yes, the first one was migrated from our Voyager records, the second one was imported by me after some tweaking in MarcEdit.
There are four 952 subfields in the migrated record that are not in the one I uploaded. Here they are with their contents:
$2 z $a MAN $b MAN $r 2008-05-10
subfields $a and $b are branchcodes, according to the documentation (and the contents look appropriate for that, though I think only one 'branch' is defined now.
According to the official Koha version's manual, <http://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.0/cataloging/item-fields-data-migration> Data Migration – Koha Item Fields:
"Source of classification or shelving scheme Koha tag: 952$2
"Classification scheme that defines filing rules used for sorting call numbers. If no classification scheme is entered, the system will use the value entered in the Cataloging preference "DefaultClassificationSource"
"Date last seen * Koha tag: 952$r
"The last date that the item was last seen in the library (checked in / checked out / inventoried)."
I can put in a test record with those fields and see if that makes a difference, but I would be surprised if it changed anything. I did test by adding a $t (copy number) subfield of: $t 1 but that didn't change the empty parentheses issue.
I am wondering if the contents of the parenthesis for number of copies is a value derived from another field entirely.
I suspect it is because the item has no home or holding branch, can you do me a favour, just edit one, and set a homebranch and an holdingbranch, then check if it is doing a count. (952a and 952b) I know it doesn't really make sense for EBOOKS but maybe the branch could be EBOOKS :) It tries to count how many items are available at each branch. Chris
