I believe this has something to so with the item-type code: BKS (listed as the code for BOOK in Basic Parameters) Vs. the actual item-type BOOK as added to 942 (koha item-type) and in $y in 942 (koha item-type). How do I reconcile this split which rears its head as two different, yet IDENTICAL item-types listed in Facets? Is this the type of thing I can remedy in a round of batch record modifications? Thank you (again). Jesse On Thu, Jan 7, 2016 at 2:51 PM, Jesse Lambertson <jlambertson@sqcc.org> wrote:

Hello everyone,

I am experiencing some slightly odd behaviour regarding search results.

I am getting a list of results with two IDENTICAL listings in the facets under item-type.

Say, for instance, I am searching in Arabic for the term شعر (which is "poetry", or poems). I get back a number of results and on the left is a list of item-types.

All my resources in poetry in Arabic are books.

So, I get two different facet break downs for a search result of 61.

1. BOOK (60 results) & 2. BOOK (1 result)

All have the correct item type coded at the bib-level in 942 as BOOK and all the items have the correct authorized vale for item type at the item-level as BOOK.

What might be causing this strange split and two different item-type-facets which should be identical?

At first, I thought it might have something to do with the fact that that one had a genre/form heading in the record but those around it in the search did not. But, no, plenty others in the result list have genre/form headings added too.

Thoughts, suggestions?

Thank you,

Jesse
