I had one of 1063 vendor records and it worked fine.

Is there a suggested max number of records that the Stage MARC for Import tool 
can handle at one time?

[Koha] Display question

[Tim Skeers]

Is there an easy way to get the biblionumber of a record to display somewhere 
on the "normal" view for a record in the staff interface? Or would it require 
an actual programming change?

As it is, it displays in the URL in the browser navigation window, but I would 
like to be able to print out a record with it showing on the printout.

Thanks,

Tim

[Koha] Hello

[Tim Skeers]

Recently I subscribed to the list, and the welcome message suggested a short 
post introducing myself so I thought I would do that. I hope I am using the 
right address!

I am a cataloger at Iowa Library Services, the agency formerly (and sort of 
still) known as the State Library of Iowa. We are a division under the State 
Department of Education. The new name reflects a reorganization that brought a 
formerly separate, statewide commission of regional library service areas and 
us together into the same agency. We run a depository program for State of Iowa 
government publications and my main job is to catalog them. It is mostly 
original cataloging but some copy cataloging as well. I also handle anything 
else that turns up needing original cataloging and I do some work with 
retrospective projects in the State Law Library collections.

The reason for joining the list is that we are in the process of transitioning 
our catalog from Sirsi/Dynix Horizon to Koha. We have been learning quite a bit 
but there is a lot yet to learn and a lot of work ahead of us for a successful 
conversion. I have some questions right now that I am thinking of posting to 
the list but plan to peruse the archives a little more first to see if I can 
find some of what I need there. 

Koha seems very cool so far and we are looking forward to being in the 
community, even with all the work it will take to get there!

Best,

Tim

[Koha] New framework

[Tim Skeers]

I did a couple of things with frameworks that I am wondering about.

 

First, I know it is not recommended to edit the default framework. Momentarily 
forgetting that, I added some new tags. Then I deleted them all. So I should be 
OK with the default framework now?

 

Second, I created a new framework using the default as the template. I added 
some RDA fields. When I import records, then pull them up in the staff 
interface, and click on "MARC" for display format, they are all there, but not 
necessarily showing up under the correct numeric tab but just scattered around 
in the record. Is this OK? Will it cause any problems? So far, the OPAC display 
seems to look OK.

 

Thanks,

 

Tim

[Koha] Message from import of records

[Tim Skeers]

We are running version 3.10.09.000. In the summary table after an import, I had 
a line that was "number of items ignored because of duplicate barcode: 1". Is 
there a way to see what the barcode is? Or for that matter, if it came back 
with ignored bib records, etc.? The reports library has a lot of item reports, 
but none that seemed to fit that exactly.

 

Thanks,

 

Tim

[Koha] Using EasyAnalytics in Koha

[Tim Skeers]

I am wondering if the EasyAnalytics feature only works with serials? The 
documentation in chapter 6, section 1.2, mentions "articles within monographs" 
as something that can be analyzed. We have a lot of old monographs that have 
been bound together for which I want to provide individual bibliographic 
access, and it sounded like the EasyAnalytics feature would do that. But when I 
import my parent and "bound in" bibs as monographs, it doesn't seem to work. I 
tried coding BLvl "c" for the parent and "a" for the individual titles and that 
didn't work either. 

It only seems to work for BLvl "s" in the parent item, which also makes the 
record say "continuing resource" in the catalog. I don't want to code it that 
way, because it isn't. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tim

[Timothy Skeers] I don't think it's the case anymore (haven't checked the 
schedules), but at one time one of the major airlines had a regularly scheduled 
flight between San Francisco and Oakland. There was even a short news feature 
done on one of the network news shows, about the time the flight was going to 
be discontinued. They are about 12 miles apart, which would make it only 
slightly less ridiculous than taking a flight between the Buenos Aires airports.

[Koha] Question about cover images

[Tim Skeers]

We are running 3.16.03.000

 

There is a default thumbnail on bib records with no cover images that says "no 
cover image available." When I upload cover images, the uploaded one appears, 
but the "no cover image available" one is still there, right below it, in both 
the public and staff interface. I am checking the option box to "replace 
existing covers." Any ideas how to get rid of this default filler image?

 

Thanks,

 

Tim

[Koha] catalog search question

[Tim Skeers]

Is there any way to "promote" a particular bib record so that it shows up first 
in a search results list?

 

My specific example is "code of iowa." Even as a title phrase search, it comes 
up as no. 45 is a list of 192 results. For the average public user, it might as 
well not even be in the catalog. I hope that they would ask a librarian, but 
I'm wondering if there is some way to push it into at least the first 10 
results.

 

Thanks,

 

Tim
