Hello everyone, I have 2 questions about having biblio records that have no items attached: 1. I've run the report that yields the biblionumber and title of those records with no items. What is the best way for me to actually delete those biblio records from my Koha environment? I'm hoping there is a way to do them in bulk and not one at a time? 2. What is the "proper" way to delete items and their biblios going forward? We've been just deleting the items, but is there a better way to delete both the item(s) and the biblio record at the same time? Or is it always a 2-step process? Hope this makes sense. We are running the package version of 3.16.02 on Debian in case that's important to this conversation. THANK YOU! Steve
You can use Tools and Batch Item Deletion. You just scan your barcodes (or copy/paste). There is a button at the bottom of the list you can check if you want to delete records if no items remain. If you are doing it just one record at a time if you go to the edit button on the record and it will give you the option to delete items and when all the items are deleted there is the option to delete the record. __________________ Cecil Hillyard Techinical Services 775-327-8338 2.

AFAIK there is no way to batch delete bibs in the staff client. I would be thrilled to learn differently. - Sean On 12/23/2014 09:56 AM, Hillyard, Cecil wrote:
