Heather <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #14 from Heather <[email protected]> --- This feature would be completely different from analytics--analytics have hierarchical relationships, those of "parent-child." A bound-with feature in most systems simply links an item to multiple bib records and *doesn't require* a "parent record" for the entire entity--analytics require a parent record for the child records. "Bound with" bib records would be like members of a team; all the bibs created for the one physical entity are equal, and the cataloging standards pre-RDA use a "Bound with" note explaining the relationship. It's easier cataloging, too, because catalog records may exist for the items which one library has all bound together, so they can be copy cataloged and the "bound with" note inserted. Creating a parent record and then using analytical relationships creates a lot more work, usually, than simply copy cataloging existing cataloging for the titles in the physical item, and then being able to link an item record to all the bibs, because a "bound with" is usually a unique physical items only held by one library. I know this sort of "bound with" workflow is difficult to describe to those who've only worked with Koha, and may not seem easier to people who understand linking entry fields & relationships, but for libraries that find themselves with a physical volume containing lots of bound together small titles, just copy cataloging some or all of them & then linking one item to all of the bibs is almost always a faster & easier cataloging operation than locally creating parent-child relationship records. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
