[Koha] Is there a way to get the biblionumber into MARC field 001 for bib records?
Hi all! Norway will soon have a new meta-search for libraries, based on harvesting records through OAI-PMH and creating a central index. One of the requirements for getting into the meta-search is that the last part of the OAI-PMH record identifiers (e.g. 2 in oai:bibkat.no:NO-1120127:2) corresponds to the contents of MARC field 001. What it actually looks like does not matter too much, as long as it is a *locally* unique identifier for the record. An easy fix for this would be to put the biblionumber into MARC field 001. Is there a way to do this without changing the code of Koha? E.g. some trick with frameworks and mappings? I have tried to think of something clever, but have come up empty handed... (I have created a bug related to this, suggesting that 001 always be used as the identifier for OAI-PMH, or that a syspref be created to let a library choose whether to use biblionumber or 001 as identifier for OAI-PMH: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6198 ) Best regards, Magnus Enger libriotech.no ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
[Koha] 3.2.x Roadmap Update
Hi all, With the release of 3.2.7 and the eminent release of 3.4.0, I want to let the community know what my plans are moving forward. Due to the excellent work during the recent hack-fest sponsored by Biblibre, there were a multitude of bugfixes which did not make it into 3.2.7. My plans are to begin work on getting these backported into the 3.2.x branch over the next week or so. Because there are such a large number, I will be releasing 3.2.8 on May 15, 2011. I had originally intended to go to a bi-monthly release schedule for 3.2.x after the release of 3.2.0. This will still be the case, but will be delayed until the release of 3.2.8. Subsequent 3.2.x releases will take place on the 15th of the month with 3.4.x releases taking place on the 22nd of the month. ***Translators please take especial note of the above dates.*** As long as there are commits to backport to 3.2.x, I will release on a bi-monthly schedule. If there are no commits during a two month period, no release will be made. If you have template related bugfixes you want included in 3.2.x, it will be your responsibility to ensure that they apply correctly to the current 3.2.x branch. With the switch to TT in master, backporting template commits will be nigh impossible. Of course any related underlying logic changes should be applicable to the current 3.2.x branch as well. After the 3.2.10 release, I will add an agenda item for the next monthly IRC to discuss EOL of the 3.2.x branch. The results of that discussion will determine the direction of 3.2.x from that point forward. I plan to handle 3.4.x maintenance in the same fashion as I have handled 3.2.x. If anyone has any suggestions for improvement, please speak up! I'm very open to suggestions, critiques, etc. Thanks to everyone for the hard work being put into Koha lately. Things have moved along at a fantastic rate! Keep up the good work. Kind Regards, Chris Nighswonger Koha 3.2.x/3.4.x Release Maintainer ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
