I am slowly continuing to add the titles I had cataloged this year in our
in-house system, adding most of them via Z39.50, but having to add locally
published textbooks manually. I'm grateful to Caroline for sending the little
"cheat sheet" of the basic fields for cataloging in MARC21, those were very
helpful. And it turns out that David Nind also once sent instructions on how to
run the ./misc/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl script, which I had forgotten about,
so apologies!
Unfortunately it doesn't work for me; I tried it and got the following result:
-bash: ./misc/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl: No such file or directory
I'm not sure how to proceed from here. Do I need to get this file from
somwehere, or create it myself?
As for cataloging, I've successfully added my latest record and the multiple
items, but even after clicking on „Link authorities automatically“, when I
click on the authors in the OPAC I get the „This authority is not used in any
records“. This is true for both manually added records and Z39.50; I looked
them up to make sure. Same with subjects.
Is there an extra step I'm not doing that would link these authorities to the
records? I'm also still unable to get the UDC classification to appear in OPAC
instead of Dewey and LOC.

Hi Katrin,
I didn't mean to ignore the list; I just got back from a week-long Erasmus
staff mobility stay in Sevilla. They have amazing libraries!
Thank you for the link to the instructions, I will check it out, and will
probably be back with more questions.
Best regards
Aida Đikić

For exporting your existing database, it's much easier to use a tool like
mysqldump. Some instructions can be found here, they are for moving from one
server to another, but moving from one instance to another would be similar:

Hope this helps,
