Re: [Koha] Journal articles
We're looking at analyticals, but haven't implemented it yet. Still cleaning up the raw data for import (I'm only working on this 2 days a week). We'll be using the 773 field for parent items. As we've got lots of records for journal articles, and conference papers in proceedings, it will in the end be an important part of our catalogue. But I'm going to start with the importing the less complicated stuff (books) first. Preliminary tests seemed to indicate that it will work, though I never did manage to get the linking to function. That was several months ago though. Elaine Bradtke EFDSS

There has been some discussion about analytic records on the list before, but I'm not sure if anyone has done an implementation (please speak up if you have!).
It seems to me that the key thing that needs to be done is linking the analytic biblio record to it's "parent" record. The MARC21 77x fields are designed to make those kind of links, but as of right now there is no specific way to work them into your Koha OPAC aside from using the XSLT display options.
I'm certainly interested in developing more integrated Koha support for bibliographic record relationships, which would include not only analytic records, but also FRBR relationships and any other kind of relationship the library may need (it should be user-configurable). I think that kind of additional tool would make things much easier for a lot of libraries.
Cheers,

This is not a Koha record - but one I worked on when I was a cataloger. Sounds like you want to see what's called an analytical record (not sure why it's called that) - which is a record for an article in a journal or magazine.

Is there anyone who includes journal articles in their catalogue and uses MARC21 format? I?d like to compare notes about what MARC fields to use ? especially anyone who has a Z39.50 server.
Thank you.

All, We are just now loading our records, but have thousands of analytic records that we will be experimenting with. Like Elaine and Beda, we are looking at using the 773. I was thinking about putting the host item system number in the subfield $w and maybe using the subfield $o for something to tie directly to the individual item. In our current system we are using the item part, and I was thinking of either trying that or using the barcode or itemnumber in the $o. What subfields have been used in your testing, Elaine? I am relieved to know we are not alone in looking at this and look forward to working with everyone. We have absolutely no funds to contribute but sweat equity works, I hope. Thanks! Linda
Good morning, list, I replied off-list to Andrew yesterday, assuming that no one else was crazy enough to create analytics, but it looks like I was wrong. In our database of ~175,000 bibliographic records, we have ~120,000 analytic records, created over the last 50 years (our card catalog was digitized in the 90s). Our old system did not link analytics, but we very much want to provide linking in the new Koha catalog. I added ISBNs, ISSNs, LCCNs, and local control numbers to ~91,000 of those analytic records, but for everything except for the ISBN, that only identifies the bibliographic record and not the actual item. We don't currently do anything with the links, although it seems like it shouldn't be too problematic to add them, at least on a bib record level (50 years of catalogers have resulted in exceedingly inconsistent 773$g formatting). It's very good to know that we're not going it alone with regards to analytic records in Koha. How are those of you with analytics displaying host publication information in the OPAC? Unfortunately, we probably don't have any money for sponsoring these features, either. Regards, Jared Linda Culberson wrote:
