[Koha] Authority control

[Amy Schuler]

Hi again,
Not exactly what I wanted to hear, but thanks for the response, Alejandro.

In looking into this problem further, I found mention in the listserve archive of the link_bibs_to_authorities.pl utility.  I tried running this and received an error
"Can't locate object method "new_from_bib_field" via package "C4::Heading" (perhaps you forgot to load "C4::Heading"?) at /etc/perl/C4/Biblio.pm line 443."   Does anyone know what this means?  Is this link_bibs utility even a viable option?

I am running Koha v. 3.0001005.

Thanks as always,
Amy Schuler

Hello,
For some reason none of my biblios have authorities associated with them.  The authority records exist, because I imported them and am able to find them when I search, but they have no biblios associated with them.  I wonder why this is (maybe I should have imported the authorities first?) but regardless, this is how it is.

Is there an easy way to establish authority control, linking the authorities with the bibs?  If I reimport my bibs, will the link between the authorities and bibs be created?
I think that there is no a global procedure to link the authorities with the bibs. When you reimport your bibs no links between the bibs and authorities are created.

cheers,
