Hello all, Our library is new to Koha. We are migrating our bib records from a non-MARC format, and many of our titles are original cataloging in AV formats. In order to have our item types display correctly in the OPAC, we have to create leader/007/008 fields that map to the appropriate OPAC icons. Can someone suggest the proper way to code for these formats? archival videotape (actually several types, including DVcam, miniDV, and beta, but they could all appear the same way) VHS DVD poster slides kit audio CD periodical Thank you very much for your help.

Eva, The Koha OPAC item type come from tag 952$y. Item types can be created via the admin screens and the corresponding item type codes should be present in 952$y. Thanks, Savitra Sirohi Nucsoft OSS Labs http://www.osslabs.biz 2009/10/19 Eva Radding <Eva_Radding@facing.org>:

There are actually two different things being discussed here. Item types can have icons associated with them via the Item Types administration screen, but those are free-form categories for the library to determine. The icons associated with material type are displayed if you have the XSLT display options enabled (XSLTDetailsDisplay and XSLTResultsDisplay). The icons are defined in the XSL files themselves (opac-tmpl/prog/en/xslt, for example), so without editing those files you don't have any flexibility about which icons are displayed beyond your ability to define whether the title is a Book, Music, Computer File, etc. I hope someone who is more of a MARC expert can chime in if I got that wrong. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
