[Koha] Use of fast cataloging framework

[Fischer, Katrin]

Hi,

in MARC21 the 952$3 field will give an alert on checkout and checkin. So what you can do is to define a default value for that subfield in the FA framework. This way every new FA record will have the note.

The feature was added in 3.6.x and is documented on bug 7278:
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7278

You can see some screenshots (in German) for the feature here:
https://wiki.bsz-bw.de/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=l-team:koha:koha-handbuch:ausleihe:3-6_01_beilagenotiz_erfassen.pdf

I am not sure if there is currently a field for UNIMARC that is mapped to the items.materials column by default.

Hope that helps,

Katrin

Betreff: [Koha] Use of fast cataloging framework
 
Hi
my colleagues are making an important use of the fast cataloging 
function (activated by creating a FA framework), in Koha master, as we 
have got many books not cataloged yet, and most of our periodicals.

Having used this kind of function in other ILS before, I'm surprised 
Koha doesn't give us the possibility to generate an alert for the staff 
when these documents are checked in (or maybe did I miss something?). FA 
records generally needs to be properly cataloged after they are checked in.

I'd like to know if librarians elsewere are using fast cataloging. And 
if so, are you satisfied with the way it is currently working ? Have you 
managed to create alerts at check in, with circulation notes for example 
(I don't find it very convenient) ?

(additionally, there a small bug at check out with FA framework when a 
duplicate is detected, but we have informed our vendor...)


Best regards
