Thanks, that makes sense and is what I'm seeing. The follow up question is - if I want to add information for a record that is in the framework and is currently empty (and hence doesn't show up), how do I do that? The long version is: While going through the preferences I'd noticed that Koha was capable of dealing with a number of classification schemes (other than Dewey which I'm most familiar with - but am not entirely happy with), one of these the UDC looks like it might fit better, but although the appropriate MARC Code (080) is in the Framework, and Koha has it listed as a classification scheme I'm using I can't see it in the MARC record point anywhere else in the cataloguing process. I'd like to know how to make sure that it turns up so that I can populate the field. Thanks again, ramon. On 26/03/2008, at 9:05 PM, David Schuster wrote:

Hi there,

Probably a fairly basic question here, but from a non-librarian.

I'm noticing that some of the MARC fields that are in a given framework are not showing when looking at the record of an item.

Is this expected? What controls which fields do show?

Ah, I see. Thank you. I didn't mention that this is Koha 3, so the hidden field is "hidden" behind the "display more constraints" link. -ramon On 31/03/2008, at 12:59 AM, Ryan Higgins wrote:

Hi Ramon

Visibility in the OPAC, staff interface and editor is controlled by the MARC Subfield Structure. You'll find a link in System Administration to MARC Bibliographic Frameworks that will get you there. Find tag 080 and Edit Subfields. You'll find a coded 'hidden' value, which is a bit abstruse at first glance, but if you click the [?] help link at the top right of the screen, you'll find an explanation. If you set hidden to zero, the 080 subfields you've edited will appear in your MARC editor and in your MARC displays.
