Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Reporting on MARC Fields
A couple weeks ago, I had posted a question to IRC about reporting on the 650
fields in a MARC record. At the time, I was having no success, while the
Evergreen report module was reminding me that I was a mere mortal. Well, after
a little more work and helpful hints from the community I had success. I
thought I'd post how I was able to run the report, since there has been some
other questions circulating about this topic.
My original trials were using the source "Flattened MARC Fields."
However, I was not getting any results. I later switched to the source "Item,"
and pulled in the flattened MARC fields and it worked.
Here is what I used in my report:
Filters:
Item :: Shelving Location - Location ID
Item :: Call Number/Volume - Owning Library Item :: Call Number/Volume - Is
Deleted Item -> Call Number/Volume -> Bibliographic Record :: Flattened MARC
Fields - Tag Item -> Call Number/Volume -> Bibliographic Record :: Flattened
MARC Fields - Subfield
Display:
Item -> Call Number/Volume -> Bibliographic Record :: Simple Record Extracts -
Title Proper (normalized) Item -> Call Number/Volume -> Bibliographic Record ::
Flattened MARC Fields - Tag Item -> Call Number/Volume -> Bibliographic Record
:: Flattened MARC Fields - Subfield
The final report gives me a simple list of titles with the 650 information for
the specified shelving location. Wunderbar!
Lessons learned:
1. Patience and persistence is imperative with reports (I need to be reminded
of this often).
2. The Evergreen community rocks; thanks everyone for the suggestions.
Hopefully this helps anyone else trying to build a similar report.
