Re: [Koha] ENC: Help with shelf browser and classification source

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Inês,

I am sorry, I missed that you are a UNIMARC user! I am not sure if $2 is
correct in this case or another field would be better. Maybe one of the
UNIMARC users can help out here?

Hello once again,

Thank you so much for your patience.

I've noticed that items.cn_source is not mapped to any field in my database. 
Should go ahead and map it to 995$2 (UNIMARC)?

Are there other relevant mappings I might have missed?

Thank you,
Inês

  items.cn_sort
Hi Inês,

for what we discussed in this thread earlier 942$2 is not important, but
the same field in the item record is: 952$2 which corresponds to
items.cn_source in your database.

Hope this helps,

Katrin

Good morning,

Still on the topic of switching Koha to UDC -- is 942$2 the only field that 
needs to be changed? Are there any other ones that are related to the 
classification source?

I have already switched DefaultClassificationSource.

Thank you in advance,

Inês F.

Hi,

there are several options, depending a bit on how many items you have. You can 
use the batch item edit tool or you could change the field in the database 
using SQL. SQL would probably be a good option in this case, but should always 
be used very carefully.

In any case you should run the script to make sure that the cn_sort is 
recalculated with for your new classification scheme.

I do have one question. How do I bulk edit all items to the right code?

Hi Ines,

I think once your search is fixed, the shelf browser might be working
again. You can also check the various shelf browser prefs to make sure
that your new locations are taken into account.

For the classification source: The DefaultClassificationSource
preference will change the default on your item framework. It will not
change your existing items. I'd set it now to make sure new items get
catalogued with UDC right from the start.

The classification source used for an item determines how the cn_sort
feld (sorting form of the callnumber) is generated and stored in the
database. So once you have bulk edited all your items to the right code,
you will probably also want to run misc
/maintenance
/touch_all_items.pl
to regenerate the sorting form.

Hope this helps,

Katrin

Good morning,

(I tried to send this email before, but I think something went wrong. If it did 
send, apologies for the duplicate.)

I am responsible for a small private library and we have recently installed 
Koha (20.05.04.000, using UNIMARC and UDC). I am having some issues with the 
shelf browser and the classification source.

The shelf browser does not appear. When clicking on the link, only a link to "close 
the shelf browser" does.

I have just finished assigning shelving locations (995$e) to all items (due to 
previously having periodicals show alongside books), and for this purpose I 
have created 3 locations: geral (general), referência (reference), periódicos 
(periodicals). Before assigning the locations, the shelf browser would 
sometimes appear; now it never does (only the link to close it, as mentioned 
above). What could be the problem?

I’m not sure if this is relevant and could be impacting the shelf browser, but 
our search doesn’t work -- it always shows no results (our IT team is working 
on it).

A second issue (that might be related) is that although I am trying to work with 
UDC, I think Koha is still defaulting to Dewey. I have only found out about the 
setting DefaultClassificationSource a few days ago, and it is set as Dewey (I 
didn’t change it because I would rather change everything, including all 1000+ 
items, at once). On the administration menu > classification sources, I only 
have UDC as ‘in use’. What do I need to do to make sure all of Koha is using UDC?

I am very new to Koha, so any help is appreciated! Thank you.
