Oh, man, this message cracked me up SO much, Barton! I'm dearly hoping that there will be a session at KohaCon on Open Source, Community Supported Pearl Clutching: Tips, Techniques, and Tackling Your Own Restringing. (Yes--I'm a fan of the British _Top Gear_ and NPR's CarTalk!!) Best to all, h2

I'm pretty sure that I've seen Heather up-shift, down-shift and double-clutch her pearls, which I suspect individually milled from high carbon steel and inspected daily with a micrometer for wear. ;-) On Thu, Jul 26, 2018 at 5:38 PM, Heather Hernandez < heather_hernan...@nps.gov> wrote: > Hi,

Hi, Kelly!! I *thought* your name was familiar!! How nice to be in touch!! Once a maritime library worker, always a maritime library worker?? (There's a joke in there about salt, but I need more coffee to make it!) Glad you're in touch with Joy--she has simply *mad* MARC record skillz!!

Hi Kelly and Heather! In many other ILS systems the 001 was/is indeed a field that contained a unique value (control number). I still work with data from time to time that has a unique id in the 001. Heather is right that in Koha the unique id is stored in the 999$c, so you can use the 001 field

Actually, that's the leader. The 001 field is documented here: http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd001.html Paul. On Thu, Jul 26, 2018 at 04:06:50PM -0400, Paul A wrote: > I'm not sure where this thread is going, but from one "maritime" library to > another, the 001 is defined at >

I'm not sure where this thread is going, but from one "maritime" library to another, the 001 is defined at and shouldn't have anything to do with biblio numbers (which are stored in 999$c as far as Koha is concerned and are used

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] NCIP User Question - biblionum in 001 vs 999c

Hi, Kelly-- Our records in Koha actually have different values in the 001 field based on the age of the record. When I first thought about this, I pretty much clutched my pearls and took to my fainting couch, thinking things like, "But the 001 should be our consistent, primary database key! Oh
