Hi Crispin, How are you doing? On Tue, Oct 14, 2014 at 5:54 AM, Chrispin Simasiku Sitali < libsitali@gmail.com> wrote:
Greetings Koha Community,
I am at my wits end. I have a marc file with 10 000 records on it. I want to have this in my Koha installation for searching only. I am currently cataloguing some books and I want to use this for searching through only, if I find a marching record for a particular book then I import it in my collection. When I finish cataloguing I then delete the collection because I may not need it any more Please how do I go about it.
I believe what you need to do is to get the MARC records staged for import but not actually complete the import. Then when you make a search in the cataloging module, you should get a hit from the reservoir which would have the records you staged for import. Go to " Tools > Stage MARC records for import " then import the file, don't follow through with the last step of importing into the catalog. Once done with the cataloging, go to " Tools > Staged MARC management " and you should be able to clean the records from the reservoir. Hope this helps. -- Olugbenga Adara Skype: gbengaadara
