[Koha] Koha Digest, Vol 88, Issue 39

[amutsikiwa]

Hi 

Thanks for the information. In my Excel file I do have a column for 952$o
and 050$a, but I do not know why the item records where not populated with
the call numbers? Also my  itemcallnumber in the Cataloguing global
preferences is set to 050ab. I am now wondering is there is a script or
mysql query that I can run to update the item call numbers.

Regards,

Admire Mutsikiwa

If you imported from Excel, then you should have made sure that your call
number is mapped to 952$o. Then your call number will appear on item
records. if you used Marcedit for translating your Excel file to MARC, this
should be easy.

However if you were doing copy cataloging and you wanted the call number to
show up in items, then you should set the itemcallnumber under the
cataloging system preference. 


For example if you were using LC then you would enter 050ab into the
itemcallnumber field. You can check
http://manual.koha-community.org/3.10/en/administration.html#catprefs for
more info.

I am not sure setting the itemcallnumber will work for imported data. Others
may be able to confirm. I usually populate the field while converting data
using MarcEdit.


Hope this helps.
