Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Records displaying in the catalog
Hello The quick answer is yes. There are a couple of ways to do this easily, but typically you would assign a record or group of records a bibliographic source that has a flag set to true for OPAC public display. In Evergreen documentation, you might see this referred to as either a transcendent source or transcendent record (meaning bibliographic records that should display in the OPAC even if no copies are attached). When you import eBooks MARC records, you can select from a drop down list an appropriate record source you have already created - say NetLibrary - and those records will be set to display in your public catalogue without copies attached. You can also add or change the record source from within the MARC Editor.

Is it possible to add records to the catalog and have them display to the public without adding items? The transcendent route mentioned in this thread is one option, but another is to use org targeted 856 tags, where subfield 9 contains a code representing the specific library or libraries owning the resource. Such records would behave like records with items when it comes to visibility and search scoping. Serials is a different thing altogether, and a bit in flux at the moment. You have several options to choose from there, including encoding your data as MFHD (an older method), or using a UI to manage dedicated tables in the database. -- Jason Etheridge | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Open Source Experts | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: ja...@esilibrary.com | web: http://www.esilibrary.com | Supporting Koha and Evergreen: http://koha-community.org http://evergreen-ils.org
