Using lccn in koha 2.2.0 rc2
Hello all, thanks to everyone who has worked to make koha available. 1. one of the features i have been waiting for is to use lccn in koha rather than dewey. however i have set up 2.2.0 rc2 but i do not know any setting to be made to use lccn or any other type of call number. could any on explain how or give me pointers? 2. also the library i am installing for (Hezekiah Oluwasanmi Library, Ile-Ife Nigeria - over 400,000 biblios) has lccn in 050 (the original loc call number) and their own variation in 090. sometimes it matches for each record and sometimes not. but i notice 090 is being used by koha internally. can i change this to something else without breaking koha? the library will want 090 displayed in opac seach as call number but still retain 050 3. where is the place to specify the physical location of items. thanks ===== Olugbenga Adara MCP Consultant, 3om Services, 75, Lebanon Street, Dugbe, Ibadan, Nigeria.

Hello all,

just go to : Koha >> Parameters >> systempreferences >> itemcallnumber You define here the (biblio) subfield you use to report in your (item) callnumber subfield. So 050x for you. Then, in your MARC structure, go to your item field (995 for example), edit your callnumber field and "map it" to items.itemcallnumber. That's all. Now, when you validate a biblio, and add an item, the item is automatically by default with the 050x value. Note this is not true for bulkmarcimported biblios. Just for new manually entered ones.
2. also the library i am installing for (Hezekiah Oluwasanmi Library, Ile-Ife Nigeria - over 400,000 biblios) has lccn in 050 (the original loc call number) and their own variation in 090. sometimes it matches for each record and sometimes not. but i notice 090 is being used by koha internally. can i change this to something else without breaking koha?
yes, by default 090 is used internally. But the good new is that you can "move" the 090 parameters where you want (091, 109...) the only limit is that the field you choose must have the 2 subfields and no other one.
the library will want 090 displayed in opac seach as call number but still retain 050

<snip> i have checked in my version 2.2.0rc2 and i can not find itemcallnumber under system preferences. however i have just downloaded 2.2.0rc3 and hope to find it there after upgrading.

so how do u ensure that everything fits when u use bulkmarcimport tool. and just as an aside, how do u get 400,000 records in with limited internet connection here in nigeria ? thanks again for the good works ===== Olugbenga Adara MCP Consultant, 3om Services, 75, Lebanon Street, Dugbe, Ibadan, Nigeria.

I modify the bulkmarcimport script to add the itemcallnumber into items ;-) And I test it with 100-500 biblios, and stops the script, check... the -d flag (delete) can clean the DB when you relaunch the script ;-) -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
