[Koha] Binding journal--collapse periodical holdings

[Betsy Dintaman]

What item field would be best for the "summary holding statement" you suggest? In adding periodical titles to Koha, I would like to put the holdings summary where I can then print out a list of periodical titles and holdings. What's the best way to do this?

There isn't an explicit function for this, but you can collapse holdings by selecting all the holdings you want to collapse, then click 'Edit' and then 'Delete' those holdings, and then create a single item record with the summary holding statement.

It's not idea, but it's a workaround until full, explicit support for collapsed holdings is available. I believe that's already slated for either 3.2 or 3.4.

Cheers,
