And if for some reason the import goes badly you can rollback the changes.

Hi,

Your MARC file has the barcode field as Chris said, see:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/17hfzvv5obvjmvl/test.mrk?dl=0

I was able to import the above record in my Koha, see this:
*https://www.dropbox.com/s/t76q81nt4ct555p/black_beauty.png?dl=0
*

I just changed the barcode (to make it unique for my installation),
permanent location, current location and koha item type to my intallation's
requirements and it works.

That means that perhaps you need to double check your 952a, 952b, 952y
match with what you have set in your "Basic Parameters" settings of your
installation.

[Koha] borrowers' number

[Olawale Ilesanmi]

 

Hi Everyone, 

Please, I need help on how to manually assign borrowers' number. We
already have borrowers number assigned to our patrons from CD/ISIS but I
noticed koha generates borrowers number by default. I need help on how
to resolve the issue.

It's important to understand what you're referring to. If you're
referring to the borrowernumber automatically assigned to each patron
in the database (borrowers.borrowernumber) then you can't control
that. borrowers.borrowernumber is for internal Koha use and shouldn't
be changed.

If you'r referring to card number then you might want to check the
autoMemberNum system preference (Administration -> System preferences
-> Patrons). If that preference is turned on then Koha will
auto-populate the card number field when adding new patrons.

Chris,

I am able it import the MARC data. One key item that it missing for each

I am not sure how to map in Koha so that the import process sends the data

[Koha] Improving Search Results

[Coehoorn, Joel]

I support a relatively new Koha installation, and the search quality we've
experienced has been exceptionally poor. What can I do to improve search
quality?

Here's an example I received today from a librarian:

---
On 4/21/14 I cataloged *The Word of Promise from Jesus: Dramatic Passages
from the Gospels*. Jim Caviezel was listed as an author since he wrote the
foreword. It was given two barcodes since the book also contained a CD.
The barcodes are 212580 for the book and 212581 for the CD.

L had a request from Interlibrary loan for this title. We searched KOHA
every way we could think to pull this title up and continued to get a
message that "nothing was found".

I went to World Cat and found the title with the indication that it was
available at York College. In desperation, I checked the basic LC call
number and found BT 306. I had L_ go search the BT 306 section of the
shelves and he found the book!

Then after finding the book and having the barcode number, I tried to pull
the book up by searching for the barcode number. Again, "nothing found".

As a last resort, I went into the Reports area of KOHA and searched for the
barcode number. Guess what! The Reports area found it. I clicked on the
Biblio number and up came the record. Now the record was in there! Why
wouldn't it come up when we searched for it?

Another example.

Dr. E asked me to order the 2014 Award winning books. I found
the list and checked KOHA for each title to confirm that we didn't have a
copy in the library. A couple of the books seemed familiar, but all I got
was "not found". I prepared the requisition and ordered the titles.

Well, the books came in last Friday. Tuesday I cataloged them. When I
downloaded the cataloging from OCLC into KOHA, two of the titles didn't go
in because they were duplicates!! I went back and tried to pull them up in
KOHA and guess what! They came up. So this caused us to have 2 copies of
these two titles. Fortunately it didn't cost more than $20 to get these
titles, but KOHA needs to be working correctly so this doesn't happen again.

-

The point of this is that, from our librarians perspective, without a
better search experience, Koha is "broken".

Those are their words, not mine. Here's the thing: when I run a search in
Koha, I do get back lots of results from our catalog that are highly
relevant to the search terms. But these are exact title matches, and they
come back with "Not found".

How can I improve this?

How do you re-index Zebra?  Are your cron jobs working properly and 
regularly?  Do you do a complete re-index (manually) from time to time?


As an aside, we have found that using the "library catalogue" search (not 
'title', nor 'author') and just putting in a couple of keywords from the 
title and the author's surname works remarkably well...

I have a saved report that shows the list of Books with no Barcodes. I want
to download only a MARC file of those bibliographic record of the books with
no barcodes.How will I do it? The only option I can download the report is

Re: [Koha] Download a MARC file of a Saved Report

[Karam Qubsi]

Hi , if you can add them to a list
then
you can simply choose to download this list as iso2709 (mrc) file.
but I think there is no direct way to add a list of bib records to a koha
list . it would be very useful if we will have this feature  in koha in the
future .
for me if I were you with large number of bibrecords  in this case I will
create a new list as normal from koha and then I will INSERT
the biblionumbers ( that I want them to be downloaded as mrc ) into
the virtualshelfcontents
table
directly . then I can download them .

I'm not sure if there is another way to do this ..
Regards

[Koha] csv-marc

[Ramprasad S. Joshi]

@Olawale ILESANMI:

CSV to MARC should be easy. Can you post sample data records (100, say)
please?

Re: [Koha] Improving Search Results

[Arslan Farooq]

Hi Joel,

Libraries all over the world (
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_Users_Worldwide) would not be
using Koha if its search does not work :) So my guess is there is something
wrong with your set-up. Search works very well out of the box -- if Koha is
installed properly.

The information you provided is OK but it is missing a key ingredient: your
set-up. There may be a hundred ways to install Koha, and one recommended
way.

We don't know what distribution you used. We don't know what method was
used to set-up Koha. We don't know what version of Koha you are using. We
don't know if you recently upgraded or something like that. We don't know
if search was working before and not working now, or is it that ever since
you set-up Koha you are using it for cataloging only and not circulation.

All we know is the search does not work. Cause of it could be a number of
reasons.

Arslan
