Question about changing the material type in a Koha record
I haven't been cataloging very long, and so I am still learning. Can someone please tell me how to change the material type in a Koha record? In our basic records, I cannot access the 336, 337 and 338 tags. Can you still change the material type without those tags ? *Ramona Ratliff * Information Specialist *York University* Office: (402) 363-5708 | rjratliff@york.edu <email@york.edu> | *york.edu <http://www.york.edu/>*
Hi Ramona, It depends on what you mean by 'material type'. The leader and 006/007/008 control the small material type icon. The 942$c controls the item type icon that displays on search results. The 952$y displays the icon in the item record. If you want to follow RDA and fill in the 33x fields, go to the framework that you want to edit and add these fields. I spoke on how I used the koha Frameworks to populate information related to item types in two sessions at the KohaUS conference this year. One on what I did and the second on how to do it for yourself.

Lauren, Thank-you so very much for this information. I will use your resources and I'm sure I will learn a lot about how to work with Koha. *Ramona Ratliff * Information Specialist *York University* Office: (402) 363-5708 | rjratliff@york.edu <email@york.edu> | *york.edu <http://www.york.edu/>* On Tue, Nov 7, 2023 at 6:41 PM Lauren Denny <lauren_denny@sil.org> wrote:
