Hi Kate, Regarding (1): have you been using Internet Explorer when cataloguing? IE is unsupported for the staff interface and has been known to add duplicate biblios. Firefox is recommended. As for (2), the best solution would probably be to remove biblios with no items using MySQL.

(1) Duplicate entries. When I am creating new catalogue entries, I often find I get a 'double' entry, so that I end up with a biblio record with holdings, and one without. I then have to go back and delete the extra entry, otherwise it shows up on catalogue searches as having 'no items' which is confusing for people using the catalogue. This happens when I'm accessing my Koha server via a network; when I have the chance to catalogue straight on to the server, it doesn't happen, so presumably it's a network issue, but can anyone suggest a way of avoiding this problem? (2) 'No title' records. A related problem - in the course of deleting some of the duplicate entries, I mistakenly deleted a couple of records which had items in the holdings, leaving me with some 'no title' records. My question is: how can I delete these 'no title' records, which have apparent items in holdings so are again confusing for people using the catalogue. Many thanks for any advice you can give.

Hi Marie Jane,
I have managed to get Koha partially running again, meaning that it is fully functional, but for now it needs a manual entry in the terminal. I am waiting for somebody to come up with an answer. Basically it's exactly what I thought it was, but? so far no easy solution. Sigh. Life's never easy, is it?
Anyway, in case you need to work with it; After you have started the computer, open a terminal (click on the little foot at the left bottom, the top of the list is accessories, from there you can open a terminal, basically a text window)
In the terminal, type: sudo zebrasrv -D -f /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml (enter) (if it asks for a password, it will be: handsoff) Now it will work.
Hopefully I can get it fixed tomorrow, so you won't need this.
Marty
