[Koha] One biblio record not visible in staff interface or OPAC

[library at ssst.edu.ba]

Hello, 

"But:
UNIMARC expects the biblionumber in 001, I think. I keep wondering if your indexing configuration might be wrong."

I'm pretty sure I chose MARC21 during the web installation, and I can see what my indexing configuration looks like though I wouldn't be able to tell if there's something wrong with it. I'd appreciate any advice on correcting it as i tis. 

Now that I'm back at work, I can go through the same process I did with the old laptop instance and see if I can replicate the solution. Any corrections to the indexing configuration I would do to the work server instance. 

Best regards

Aida Đikić

Hi,

you should not *need* to have 001 set to biblionumber in a MARC21 installation to make things searchable, although it doesn't hurt if you want to link records, which is one reason why you can do it. But:
UNIMARC expects the biblionumber in 001, I think. I keep wondering if your indexing configuration might be wrong.

If you don't search for keyword, but select title or author as search option - do you find what you are looking for?

Checking the koha-conf.xml for the URLs to indexing configuration would help to show if I am right or wrong.

Hope this helps,

Katrin
