Check your circulation rule - how many holds are allowed for that category of patron? What is the holds policy for that library? Also check the following circulation system preferences to be sure they have the value you want: - CircControl - HomeorHoldingBranch - all of the preferences under the heading Holds Policy Hope that helps, Bob Birchall CALYX On 09/03/11 09:01, Shelley & Kurt Kemperman wrote:
I tried and failed to place a hold on a book today. The book was already checked out and I wanted to place a hold so that when it was checked in, our volunteer would be alerted. I went to the book record, clicked place hold, then entered the student's number. I received the message "no copies are available to be placed on hold". Well of course not, if there was a copy available, I wouldn't need to place a hold - lol. Why can't I place the hold?

Koha Community,
I'd like to solicit some feedback on this idea.? It seems to me that we could greatly increase the utility of the Cart, both on the patron side and the staff side, if we had it work off Item records primarily instead of the Biblio record.? Some things we'd be able to do from the Cart if we had this:
1. Batch Item mod 2. Move items from multiple biblios to a single new biblio, in one step 3. Print label batches 4. Place item-level holds (in addition to title-level)
Since item records all contain the biblionumbers for their Biblios, it would be a single additional step to convert the list of itemnumbers into a list of distinct biblionumbers, and do all the same biblio-level functions we do now (like biblio-level holds, emailing/printing, and adding to Lists).
Am I missing a complication in the implementation or a workflow issue that would make this untenable?? What does everyone think?
Cheers,
-Ian

I found that it was also helpful (especially for a school library) to create a custom bibliographic framework containing only the fields we needed. It made manual cataloguing significantly easier for school librarians who might not have much experience with MARC format cataloguing. Hope that helps!

The British Library server mentioned below (Z3950cat.bl.uk) returns SUTRS syntax not MARC.
Some libraries can register for an account which can get MARC21, but it has an anti-social non-commercial restriction which has implications if you ever want to share your records. http://www.bl.uk/bibliographic/data.html
BL is making some data available as Open Bibliographic Data (which we endorse http://openbiblio.net/principles/endorse/ ) so hopefully that will change in the future.
Hope that informs,
Thank you. Their non-sharing restriction probably means that setting up a Z3950 server would be out. I'm wondering about the MARC display available under OPAC. I'm guessing that would probably not get them too upset. I've found most of our books from AMICUS or the Library of Congress. Occasionally I've had to go to the Oxford library. AMICUS (amicus.collectionscanada.gc.ca, port 210, database ANY) does require registration. A lot of British books are in their database. Go to http://amicus.collectionscanada.gc.ca/amicus-bin/self_register?l=0 to register. -- Bob ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha End of Koha Digest, Vol 65, Issue 31 ************************************

Koha Community,
I'd like to solicit some feedback on this idea.? It seems to me that we could greatly increase the utility of the Cart, both on the patron side and the staff side, if we had it work off Item records primarily instead of the Biblio record.? Some things we'd be able to do from the Cart if we had this:
1. Batch Item mod 2. Move items from multiple biblios to a single new biblio, in one step 3. Print label batches 4. Place item-level holds (in addition to title-level)
Since item records all contain the biblionumbers for their Biblios, it would be a single additional step to convert the list of itemnumbers into a list of distinct biblionumbers, and do all the same biblio-level functions we do now (like biblio-level holds, emailing/printing, and adding to Lists).
Am I missing a complication in the implementation or a workflow issue that would make this untenable?? What does everyone think?
Cheers,
-Ian

Everyone, I'd like to second Ian's idea about basing the cart off of items instead of biblios since our "titles" are often collections. The items are all different from one another, much as serials/journals would be. This would be of great benefit to us. It used to be based on items in very old versions iirc. We switched to biblio for a very good reason I can't remember now...

Hi,
We are using Koha in a small school now. One of my last hurdles is adding new books to Koha. We were able to add about half of the new books we have through Z39 searches but the remaining books (about 100) aren't being found.

I know that the 952 fields are used for holdings information and the 942 is used, as well as the 999. Are there any others?

I found that it was also helpful (especially for a school library) to create a custom bibliographic framework containing only the fields we needed. It made manual cataloguing significantly easier for school librarians who might not have much experience with MARC format cataloguing. Hope that helps!

Some libraries can register for an account which can get MARC21, but it has an anti-social non-commercial restriction which has implications if you ever want to share your records. http://www.bl.uk/bibliographic/data.html
BL is making some data available as Open Bibliographic Data (which we endorse http://openbiblio.net/principles/endorse/ ) so hopefully that will change in the future.
Hope that informs,
Thank you. Their non-sharing restriction probably means that setting up a Z3950 server would be out. I'm wondering about the MARC display available under OPAC. I'm guessing that would probably not get them too upset. I've found most of our books from AMICUS or the Library of Congress. Occasionally I've had to go to the Oxford library. AMICUS (amicus.collectionscanada.gc.ca<http://amicus.collectionscanada.gc.ca>, port 210, database ANY) does require registration. A lot of British books are in their database. Go to http://amicus.collectionscanada.gc.ca/amicus-bin/self_register?l=0 to register. -- Bob ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz<mailto:Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz> http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha End of Koha Digest, Vol 65, Issue 31 ************************************
