I am embarking on cataloging about 400 CD's and I want to use a locally assigned call number. It appears from the MARC records I have examined that libraries are using the 09X field. However, the template for the version of Koha that this library uses does not have that option. Can someone please tell me what to do to add this field to the Koha template? I do not have a systems person and/or programmer who can help, so if possible, please keep the directions simple. Thanks.

Dear Paula, Usually we add the call number to the item record rather than the MARC Record. In order to add a field to a MARC framework, you must log into the staff client with an account that has administration level privileges. Than from the "home" page of the staff client either left click the Koha administration hyper-text link or left click the More Drop Down then left click administration. Once you are at the administration home screen left click the MARC Bibliographic framework hyper-text link. Than simply find the framework you would like to change/use and left click the MARC Structure hyper-text link. A table of fields should appear; look for and left click the New Tag button should be near the top of the table. Than simply fill out the fields as desired and left click the save changes button. Now when ever you do Records using that template it should have the additional field. I hope that helps, James Ghiorzi Library Assistant II San Benito County Free Library 470 Fifth St. Hollister, CA 95023 (831) 636-4107 ________________________________________ From: koha-bounces@lists.katipo.co.nz [koha-bounces@lists.katipo.co.nz] On Behalf Of Paula Corman [Paula.Corman@themim.org] Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2012 2:36 PM To: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: [Koha] Local call number I am embarking on cataloging about 400 CD's and I want to use a locally assigned call number.

Hi Paula, You need to add it to Koha's MARC Framework. #1 Login to the Staff Client Side, click on the "More" drop down menu, and choose Administration. That will bring you to the Administration page. #2 Under Catalog heading click on "MARC Bibliographic framework". This takes you to a list of the MARC Frameworks in your instance of Koha. #3 Click on the "MARC Structure" link beside the MARC Framework you want the 09X field added to. #4 Enter 09X in the "Search for tag" search box and click search. #5 Click the subfields link on the 09X tag line, then click edit subfields and at the bottom of that page you will see a link that says "display more constraints". Click on the "display more constraints" link. #6 You will need to set the "hidden" field to the correct value. -1 will make it visible in the OPAC, on the Intranet, in the editor, and will make it show up as collapsed in the editor. See this page for more details: http://manual.koha-community.org/3.6/en/catadmin.html#marcbibframeworks Sincerely, -Joe- On Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 4:36 PM, Paula Corman <Paula.Corman@themim.org>wrote:
