CHAT/POETRY: exporting records cataloged on a certain date
Esteemed colleagues: PLEASE NOTE: this entirely frivolous; please hit the delete key if you wish. Any opinions expressed here are mine and mine only, not necessarily shared by my employer, the Koha community, koha-US, or any poultry that might be associated with me. A while back I was trying to figure out a way to export records that I had just uploaded to Koha so I could get information in the 999 field. (So I could build a new RSS file with links to the bib in the MedStar Authors' Catalog, but that doesn't really matter at the moment.) "Export Data" wasn't working-the export files had zero bytes. While I was pondering a possible solution, the muse grabbed me by the keyboard and we produced a litter of couplets. Then someone (Katrin, was it you?) suggested unchecking the "With items owned by the following libraries" box, and it worked like a charm. That left me with an obsolete poem. I hate waste. What to do? Well, I added a few more couplets below the "-----" as an appendix wherein I reveal the solution. The meter gets a bit twisty in places, but it really does scan. I won't attest to the accuracy of all the information presented. I upload records by the score Into Koha's reservoir
From "Manage Records" dialog Import into the catalog
Rebuild Zebra then I look To see what's new, with bib as hook. To find one is no chore at all Search for bib number? What a doll My Koha is! if only one Bib record I want and I'm done But now I want to see the batch That with my Koha I did hatch I want to see all that is new But soon I'm mired deep in glue Perhaps Reports will now display The records that I've done today. The Koha SQL collection Might point me in the right direction. Alas, I get an error message! It doesn't work! There's no expressage! Then from the menu Main I go To menu Tools, because I know That in the column Catalog Export Data, like a dog Has served me faithfully before And helped me through the catalog's door. Export records by the date they're cataloged? No bytes, not great. Export records by bib range? Still no bytes, it's very strange. If these don't work, what can I do To see my MARC creations new? Can I put them in a cart? All bibs selected, part by part? That seems to work; they are just fine Complete with MARC tag 999. But now I want to add a date 260$c--is it too late? I add the line and recompile Then upload the replacement file Check dups on field 097 A field I added--plucked from heaven Still I'd like to understand What happens to my little band Of records new that with my hand
From Reference Manager so grand
I fashioned into format MARC So they can shine out in the dark To show the world what we have done In MedStar's realm of medicine Does anybody have some thoughts? I'd sure appreciate them, lots. For curiosity, you know, Librarians do not forgo. ---- BUT WAIT! I think I found a way To find additions for the day Most likely other specs as well But on this point I shall not dwell.
From Export Data uncheck the box For owning lib'ry, that unlocks
The filter that prevents me from A happy, joyous MARC outcome. And if you have more than one branch "Clear all" allows the avalanche Without a lot of extra clicking. Make haste! I hear the clock is ticking. And that, my friends, is my solution That works well at my institution. And I'm reminded every day Where there's a Koha, there's a way.
