[Koha] Authority

[Selma Aslan]

Hi All,

TOBB University of Economics and Technology, Ankara, Turkey, Library has recently moved to Koha from a local software, and my response might be irrelevant, but I would like to share our experience. When we merge two authorities in the Authorities Module, the result does not show up immediately. I gather Zebra takes its time to process for a couple of minutes. I wonder if the result was expected to be seen immediately. In our case I tried to reprocess an already processed authority and an got error prompt simply because I hadn't realized system's need for time at that stage.

 I would suggest that you
 check to be sure that you have the indexer running
 to index your authority records.
 
 And to link the authority
 record to the bibliographic record you will need
 to run the cronjob called
 link_bibs_to_authorities.pl
 But before you
 enable that cronjob check the Authority system
 preferences
 to be sure they will behave in
 the way you want them to.
