Hello, I am setting up koha for the Nigerian Institute of Social and Economic Research in Ibadan Nigeria. Their cataloguing will be done by direct data entry (over 30000 items) I prefer to use marc but the fields of the default framework that are displayed are to many for efficient data entry. What is just needed are fields for Author Additional Author Author's affiliation (this is used to identify authors in certain institutions, e.g. WHO, World Bank etc) Title Place of Publication Year Publisher ISBN Physical Description Classmark (Dewey) barcode Date received For the major data entry, i plan to use others means to create text file, then use marcmaker to make mark and then upload into the system. but i also need a framework for day to day cataloguing. i will appreciate any suggetion or pointers thanks NB. i've tried setting certain tags to not display but this tags are just to many and some still display nevertheless. im using koha 2.2.9 on mysql5 (suse10.1) Olugbenga Adara MCP Consultant, 3om Services, 75, Lebanon Street, Dugbe, Ibadan, Nigeria.

What is just needed are fields for
Author Additional Author Author's affiliation (this is used to identify authors in certain institutions, e.g. WHO, World Bank etc) Title Place of Publication Year Publisher ISBN Physical Description Classmark (Dewey) barcode Date received
For the major data entry, i plan to use others means to create text file, then use marcmaker to make mark and then upload into the system. but i also need a framework for day to day cataloguing.
i will appreciate any suggetion or pointers
thanks

im using koha 2.2.9 on mysql5 (suse10.1) Although some MARC aficionados will cringe, you can simply delete

The only required fields in a record are those linked to biblionumber, biblioitemnumber, itemnumber, and itemtype. By default, those are set to 090$ 090$c, 952$u. You can delete all of the ones you don't need. Keep in mind that if you import records from another source via Z39.50, any fields not defined in the framework will be deleted from the MARC (a regrettable 'feature' of the current implementation of the frameworks ...). Another alternative, is to set the 'hidden' field to the appropriate value to hide any given subfield from the cataloging client Note that hidden field is a coded field with multiple possible values. From the help file: # hidden : allows you to select from 19 possible visibility conditions, 17 of which are implemented. They are the following: ( ! means 'not visible' or in the case of Collapsed 'not Collapsed') -9 => Future use -8 => Flag -7 => OPAC !Intranet !Editor Collapsed -6 => OPAC Intranet !Editor !Collapsed -5 => OPAC Intranet !Editor Collapsed -4 => OPAC !Intranet !Editor !Collapsed -3 => OPAC !Intranet Editor Collapsed -2 => OPAC !Intranet Editor !Collapsed -1 => OPAC Intranet Editor Collapsed 0 => OPAC Intranet Editor !Collapsed 1 => !OPAC Intranet Editor Collapsed 2 => !OPAC !Intranet Editor !Collapsed 3 => !OPAC !Intranet Editor Collapsed 4 => !OPAC Intranet Editor !Collapsed 5 => !OPAC !Intranet !Editor Collapsed 6 => !OPAC Intranet !Editor !Collapsed 7 => !OPAC Intranet !Editor Collapsed 8 => !OPAC !Intranet !Editor !Collapsed 9 => Future use Hope that helps. -- Joshua Ferraro SUPPORT FOR OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE President, Technology migration, training, maintenance, support LibLime Featuring Koha Open-Source ILS jmf@liblime.com |Full Demos at http://liblime.com/koha |1(888)KohaILS
That's good info! If it's not on the wiki or on kohadocs someone should put it there! I don't recall having seen an explanation of the 'hidden' field before. Joshua M. Ferraro wrote:
