Lauri, The problem is likely one Jason mentioned -- there is a field in the MARC XML that sometimes does not get populated during the conversion process form MARC 8 or MARC 21 when you import new records. This field has something to do with making the record visible to search indexes. Records affected can only be searched by the title control number, or in the browse call number search. If you overlay the record, this fingerprint field usually is populated and the record thus shows up in searches. The bug is also fixed in a later version than what you have.

Our volunteer tech person has downloaded and installed the demo server and staff client. I have been given the task of figuring out how it works (but I'm not a tech person). I have found a lot of helpful information on the website, but was wondering if there were any easy instructions for cataloging materials. I have added several records using the Z30.50 tool. Then edited the record using "holdings maintenance" and have made the holding available. My problem is that not all of the holding show up in the OPAC search, but if i click on the browse shelf they show up. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help and guidance will be greatly appreciated.
