Hello: I'm am new to the list and Koha. I'm a MLIS student and I'll be testing and implementing Koha this semester for an independent study course. Could you add a field (eg. lcnumber ) to the BIBLIOITEMS table yourself and link the related MARC field in the MARC_SUBFIELD_TABLE to it? Then modify the templates to display the field? Or is this accomplished already with the biblionumber and biblioitemnumber fields in BIBLIOITEMS? They reference the MARC 090 field (local call number) and the c and d subfields respectively (I've never seen those myself ... only a and b subfields). See http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2003/002349.html for discussion about the 090 issue. The collection I'm going to be converting uses LC call numbers (some in the 050 field, some in the 055 field, and many in the 090 field), so this is a functionality that I'd like to see. Sorry if this sounds confused. Regards, Donald dmoses2@uwo.ca On 2004-01-08 17:43:52 +0000 "Han, Yan" <hany@u.library.arizona.edu> wrote:
I heard that Koha does not support Library of Congress Call number. Is this true? If so, I am not quite understand if it is difficult to support this feature.
MJ Ray <mjr@dsl.pipex.com> replied: Koha has partial support for it, through the MARC records, but can't currently do much useful with it. I do not know whether it is difficult, either. Some notes about this bug are on http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=498 but more useful notes (such as what needs changing to support it) are welcome. Personally, I have no immediate plans to work on this, but I don't know whether any developers do.
