Oh dear, now my complete lack of knowledge will be apparent. What is zebra, exactly? I've seen the word throughout the manual and sort of ignored it. Since both replies to this question asked me if it was running, how do I find that out? Shelley On Dec 19, 2010, at 5:34 PM, Chris Cormack wrote:

Hi Shelley

Are you using zebra? Do you have zebra running and is the rebuild_zebra cronjob set up to run?

Thanks to Chris, I have been able to use the z39.50 search function to import MARC records for books, but when I go to search for those books in the catalog, they are not found.

This is what is happening:

Did z39.50 search by book title; found record; clicked on "import" Took me to "Add MARC record" page; clicked on "save"; unable to save because 003 field was blank; clicked field and default value of "OSt" appeared; then able to save record Took me to "Items for..." page; changed item type (y) to appropriate value; unable to add barcode (p) because I don't have labels yet; clicked "add item"; record appeared at top of page

Then, if I type the title (or author or ISBN #) into the "search the catalog" box on home page, I get "no results found"

Tried clicking on "More" at top of home page; clicked "Cataloging" and typed title into that search box It says "no results found", but right under that, the record appears in "Biblios in Reservoir"; if I click on "Add biblio", it takes me right back to the "Add MARC record" page and the circle repeats!

Wondering what error I made or what step I missed. Could it be the 003 MARC record field where I used the default value because we don't have a control number identifier? Or could it be because I couldn't put in a bar code yet? I'm stuck - can anyone help me?

Thanks, Shelley

OK, a simple google search defined zebra for me, but second question still applies - how do know if it's running?

Did you set up cron jobs for things like overdues and fines? When doing that, did you also set one up for zebra? If so, try running it by hand and seeing if it tells you that something is going wrong.
