Hi, Pablo-- I'm not really sure what you're asking--we use the 001 for a unique bibliographic control number, which for us is the OCLC record number. Are you saying that you wish Koha could automatically generate a unique control number in the 001? Would you use this differently from the Koha record number in the 999 $c field? (That, for us, is the unique Koha record number, as opposed to what we think of as the inter-system "control number" for that title--the OCLC record number.) By the way, I've read the document at http://manual.koha-community.org/current/en/catguides.html as a cheat sheet particular to the American Numismatic Society provided as an example, but not as a procedure applicable for every library, but maybe I've got that wrong! I hope this is helpful! Cheerio! --h2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Heather Hernandez Technical Services Librarian San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park Research Center 415-561-7032, heather_hernandez@nps.gov http://www.nps.gov/safr/learn/historyculture/museum-collections.htm "The sailor does not pray for wind, he learns to sail."--Gustaf Lindborg On Mon, Sep 14, 2015 at 11:37 AM, Pablo Bianchi <pablo.bianchi@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi!
As MARC manual say about control number <http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd001.html> *"Field 001 may be system generated"* we wish Koha generate this number (lastUsed++), to avoid creating manually and periodically having to run a report to remove duplicates (from wiki <http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Multipart_Bibliographics> *"There is currently no way to enforce uniqueness in the 001, or rather uniqueness in 001 + 003."*). We have *autoMemberNum* syspref for "next available card number", *autoBarcode* for 952$p, barcode. but nothing for 001, no marc21_field_001.pl vuilder plugin, only bug 9921 <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9921> about *"Make it possible to force 001 = biblionumber"*, but that is not exactly what we are looking for.
Being this something basic (but asked before <https://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2010-December/026618.html>) I wonder If I'm getting all wrong...
Regards, Pablo
BTW on current manual Cataloging Guides say that 001 is "accession number <http://manual.koha-community.org/current/en/catguides.html>", which is usually name to barcode. _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz https://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
