[Koha] Help Re: Journal Articles

[Elaine Bradtke]

There is an existing articles framework  here
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/MARC_frameworks#RDA_Framework that you
can edit to suit your needs.

I found exporting and editing it outside of Koha a lot easier than doing it
on the site.

We have imported nearly 11,000  records for articles into our Koha
catalogue.
The first 500 note explains in plain text what it is.
We used a 534 for the publication information for reproductions (digitized
versions, etc.) and the 773 is also filled in, with a link to the host item
(Journal) where applicable.  The host items (records for the actual journal
titles) have not yet been uploaded.

Book chapters were done in a similar way with a different item type, the
773 leading to the book itself.

For entering new records, it is also possible to build a template record
that you hide from the OPAC and that would include standard pre-filled
fields.  We do that for the assemblages and their component items.  It
helps maintain consistency.   To add a new record using a template, you
duplicate the template and edit it.
