Hi, I work in a library that catalogs separately each volume of a multivolume book. I'm testing koha for a couple of days and today I tried to catalog a multivolume book. We have an ILS in which we can catalog the multivolume book as a whole without adding items, then we catalog each volume and use the linking bloc 4 (461) from unimarc to link to the set level and add items to each volume. I'm not sure now if this is possible in koha. Am I missing something? I apriciate some tips. Thanks Marius Stoica

Koha in the stable version (3.2.3 now) has a very basic support for this catalouging workflow. You need to: a)Use the standard subfield tecnique (no embedded fields) b)Insert the subfields $t [title] and $0 [id of record]. Amit Gupta, Savitra Sirohi and I we are working os support of a tool to make easy the analytical records linking (the reverse of your situation, a father/host record with items, sons without items). Jared Camins amd Katrin Fisher are working on an other solution for linking. So the summary: a)Now you need to do all by hand and probably the support is not perfect. b)We are working on a better solution. Bye Zeno Tajoli
Thanks a lot, I have a couple of questions: How is displayed in OPAC a multivolume book that was cataloged this way? Is it possible to use the plugin unimarc_field_4xx.pl to automatically search and insert the title and the record id instead of doing this manually? Is this working with version 3.02.00.007?

The link of Frederic, http://smultidoc.ish-lyon.cnrs.fr/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=3... is a good answer about this.

The plugin unimarc_field_4xx.pl does a search, you don't need to insert title and record id by hand. It work for stable versions (3.2.0, 3.2.1, 3.2.2 and 3.2.3) So probably work also for you. Try to use it and see the result. If you have problem you can write here.

There is a plugin in UNIMARC Koha which can help you: unimarc_field_4XX.pl You have to modify you default framework. Add this plugin to 461$a for example. This plugin will allow you to search for serial or monograph host title. Then the biblio record ID (biblionumber) is copied into 461$9 and also descriptive fields into the appropriate 461 sufields. You have a sample here: http://smultidoc.ish-lyon.cnrs.fr/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=3... You can see a link to the 'mother' biblio record. It works also from mother bilio to each related records (each volume in your example). Regards, -- Frédéric DEMIANS http://www.tamil.fr/u/fdemians.html
Hello everyone, sorry for replying to this old mail. I'm using the unimarc_field_4XX.pl plugin for some multivolume/part cataloguing. It seems to work well, except for some formatting issues and excessive detail of the "Set level" field in the results and record pages of the OPAC (for example it juxtaposes 461$c and 461$a without having any character to split them and it lists also the not-so-relevant to the patron 461$0). I guess I can fix them by some XSLT editing. By the way, I would like the "Set level" fields to be clickable as the "Linked with" fields are in the library linked by Frédéric Demians (mine aren't!), so that I can reach the parent record with a click from the child (and possibly the other way around). Is there something in my instance not working as expected? Otherwise, should I have to manually edit the XSLT or am I missing another, more proper and "less dirty" way to get the same result of that library (mappings, sysprefs...)? See "Linked with" field here: http://smultidoc.ish-lyon.cnrs.fr/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=3... "Type de document" field here (I guess this is a local tweak anyway): http://smultidoc.ish-lyon.cnrs.fr/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=5... Thanks in advance.
