Curious, What kinds of issues have people run into relative to the adding of 952 to records or the importation of these records into KOHA? I mean, is it better to add local holding info and barcode data into KOHA directly or is it faster to have already added this info already? I ask because I am using Connexion to create records for import into KOHA eventually (when we get our KOHA up & running - which is happening pretty soon now I think). I have been adding 952 to the records with barcodes, but will this data restrict my importation into KOHA? Thank you & have a great weekend everyone.

There is no problem to add 952 fields to import data, I think is the preferred way. You need to add 952 a,b and p at least.

Oh, great, that is helpful. One follow-up question... Should I add a separate 952 for each copy of an item (which would thus have its own copy and barcode data)? Thanks a bundle (and a bunch). Jesse On Fri, May 29, 2015 at 2:29 PM, Bernardo Gonzalez Kriegel < bgkriegel@gmail.com> wrote:

Yes, each physical item should have its own 952 with a unique barcode.

Thank you. I will need to edit some 952 data now. (Project for Monday methinks). :) Cheers and happy weekend. Jesse On Fri, May 29, 2015 at 2:40 PM, Katelyn Browne <kbrowne@ccpcs.org> wrote:

Hi, Jesse-- I catalog on OCLC's Connexion Client, and use the "Text String" tool to set up my most commonly used fields in the 952--it's really handy, and generates my most commonly used 952 with a keystroke. I've found that it's faster to create the item records on OCLC with 952 fields & import it into Koha, even when I'm cataloging a title with many items. This is a typical 952 for us (we don't have separate branches, and use LC call numbers): ǂ2 lcc ǂa SFMARITIME ǂb SFMARITIME ǂc STACKS ǂy BOOK ǂo VM600 O8 1999 ǂh v.1 ǂp 188336 Hope this is helpful!

Thank you Heather & Mark, I am on the right track now..., but I am going to need to better edit my text strings now in 952 (which means some going back and reworking etc). I assume I can add the subfields in the order listed numerically/alphabetically instead of the order you have them listed? I am glad I asked this question now. Whew! Again, thanks a lot. Very helpful indeed. Jesse On Fri, May 29, 2015 at 3:48 PM, Hernandez, Heather < heather_hernandez@nps.gov> wrote:

Hi, Jesse-- For the subfields that I use in the 952 field, the order doesn't seem to matter. We're on Koha 3.18--I don't know if the subfield order matters for other versions of Koha, or if there's any other variables to consider, though. It's easy to experiment--put the fields in the order that you like, export to Koha, then go take a look--I've found that our item records look fine no matter what the order in the OCLC record's 952 field.
