Re: [Koha] Transcribing agency

Hi! I agree with Katrin—making the 040 subfields optional in Koha is fine. But I think it's a very good idea to get an institution code and to use it, since it's very helpful if you eventually share your cataloging records. (And it's a typical thing for a library to think when starting out

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Filtering inventory results by cn_sort vs. callnumber

Hi, Nick-- I read through Bug 21629 and if I'm reading it correctly, it says that call numbers are sorted correctly using cn_sort, but Bug 17269 describes how call numbers are not sorted correctly using cn_sort, specifically the ones with colons in them in the G Library of Congress classification

This made my day, Fred--so much fun and so delightful to see so many fun photos of people in the wonderful Koha community! Thank you so much for them! Best, h2 ~~ Heather Hernandez Technical Services Librarian San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park Research Center 2 Marina

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Importing MARC records with items

Hi, Sean-- I had one other thought that might be helpful--your 952 $p fields don't seem to contain unique barcode numbers, and if your UniqueItemFields system preference is set to require that the barcode field be unique, that might be also causing you problem(s) with your importing, item

Re: [Koha] [ByWater Partners] [EXTERNAL] Re: Connexion client alternatives

Hi-- Yes, Barton, that bug report about map call numbers is from our problems with...map call number sorting! I don't know of anything that needs to be "fixed"--Koha just doesn't put line breaks in call numbers where we'd like it to, but that doesn't mean anything's "broken." We have no money

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Re: Connexion client alternatives

Hi, all-- Pamela--I'm glad I'm not alone in my peculiar workflow! ::high-five!:: And, Fred, Koha's breaking of lines in odd places is exactly why I just copy the call number from the 050/090 field into the into the 952 $o on the OCLC Connexion Client record, remove the $b & full-stop & correct

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] fighting feature creep and cleaning up Koha

Hi-- Sorry to reply with questions, but before I try to log in to bugzilla to comment, I'd like to be sure I'm understanding things correctly. In this bug: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20528 I'm not completely understanding the first paragraph: The normal view

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] [ByWater Partners] Connexion client alternatives

Hi, Chad-- I'm just mucking along with Connexion Client. When OCLC really cuts it off, then I think I'll move to using Koha's advanced bib editor for original cataloging, & probably importing/exporting via the Connexion web interface (I'm not a fan of their newer product). My future workflow

Coolness, Barton! It's very gratifying when the data gets searched & retrieved! Cheerio, h2 ~~ Heather Hernandez Technical Services Librarian San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park Research Center 2 Marina Blvd., Bldg. E, 3rd floor, San Francisco, CA 94123-1284

Re: [Koha] Anyone using OCLC Connexion?

Hi, Agnes-- We're using OCLC Connexion Client (and very occasionally the Connexion web interface), but I've never used OCLC CatExpress--I'd be happy to help you if I can with exporting from Connexion Client or Connexion web interface if I can. (The Connexion Client interface hasn't changed at

Re: [Koha] cataloguing in koha according to RDA

Hi! Yes--you can use any cataloging rules that you like. If you are then using MARC21, RDA is most commonly indicated with "i" in the 000/Leader/position 18 ("Descriptive Cataloging Form" in Koha) and 040 subfield e value of "rda," e.g.: 040 _ _ $e rda Cheerio, h2 ~~ Heather

Re: [Koha] A friendly framework for patrons

Hi-- I'm going to get very "cataloger" here...:) Please remember that each institution may apply these tags differently, too. Each of these tags is used slightly differently, for different purposes. The 037 field tends to apply to a particular distributor of a published item (like a

Thank you so much for sharing all of this, Jennifer! I think we're going to give the broader... syspref setting a try after the first of the year! Cheerio! h2 ~~ Heather Hernandez Technical Services Librarian San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park Research Center 2 Marina

Re: [Koha] [ByWater Partners] MARC field and heading validation with Koha

Hi, Joy! I haven't yet tried to set the LinkerOptions system preference to "broader_headings" because the manual (at https://koha-community.org/manual/17.05/html/02_administration.html?highlight=broader%20headings#linkeroptions) says: *Important* This feature is experimental and shouldn’t be

Re: [Koha] MARC field and heading validation with Koha

Hi, Kumiko-- I'm not sure our workflow would be applicable since we're a very specialized museum library, but maybe you'll get some ideas? We lacked a lot of authority capabilities in our previous catalog software (Athena), so our headings were & are pretty messy. I'm in the middle of a project

Re: [Koha] Koha circ & fine rules based on CCODE instead of item type

Hi, all-- I have missed having an item's location be a consideration in the loan table--in other systems that I've used, location was a factor in the system calculating whether or not an item could be circulated. In Koha, I think this would mean adding an item record's Shelving Location (MARC
