Hi guys, I am a sysadmin who finds himself working with koha and marc tag.. (the librarians can't in this school can't be bothered so I have to do the heavy lifting) anyway I am coverting their spreadsheet records to marc21.. I have pretty much done all the mapping. I just need to understand how koha manages multiple copies of a particular item |
| 09:11 |
|
bigbrovar_ |
do I list each copy in the spreadsheet am about to convert (to marc) and use different accession numbers (as unique identifier) or is there a marc (or koha holding tag) which indicates the number copies for a particular item. |
| 09:12 |
|
cait |
in koha copies/items are held in 952 |
| 09:12 |
|
cait |
you want a 952 for each item |
| 09:13 |
|
cait |
best is to have them all on one record |
| 09:13 |
|
cait |
if you can manage that |
| 09:13 |
|
bigbrovar_ |
also what in (layman terms) is the koha holding tag 952$t |
| 09:13 |
|
cait |
else you might want to import the bibliographic data without the items at first and attach the items later |
| 09:13 |
|
cait |
hm i have to check |
| 09:13 |
|
cait |
what you really need to set is a b o and p probably |
| 09:14 |
|
cait |
oh and y |
| 09:14 |
|
bigbrovar_ |
cait: it says copy number .. is that the number of copies for an item.. or the specific number (like unique number for an item) |
| 09:14 |
|
cait |
a unique number for that item |
| 09:14 |
|
cait |
if you have the same callnumber for all the items |
| 09:15 |
|
cait |
you can use that as a sequential number to identify an individual item |
| 09:15 |
|
cait |
the copy number will be shown together with the callnumber in a lot of places |
| 09:15 |
|
cait |
952 subfiels always refer to the single item, never to all of them |
| 09:17 |
|
bigbrovar_ |
cait: my next dumb question would be to ask: what is callnumber (the librarian I asked didn't know.. library edu in my country is still stone age) |
| 09:17 |
|
bigbrovar_ |
is the call number the same as cutter number or the classification number |
| 09:17 |
|
cait |
normally it#s what#s on the label on the back on the book |
| 09:17 |
|
cait |
what you use to find the book on the shelf |
| 09:18 |
|
cait |
makes sense? |
| 09:18 |
|
cait |
so i think it could be cutter number or classification number in oyur case |
| 09:18 |
|
bigbrovar_ |
cait: yes.. they have the classification number at the back of the book in the library here |
| 09:18 |
|
cait |
not sure about the differences between the terms though |
| 09:18 |
|
cait |
then i would put that in as callnumber |
| 09:18 |
|
cait |
where are you from bigbrovar? |

libsysguy: missing C4::Search? |
| 19:42 |
|
libsysguy |
haha |
| 19:42 |
|
libsysguy |
I came to see if anyone had burned it to the ground yet |
| 19:43 |
|
libsysguy |
I guess the threat (AKA C4::Search) remains :p |
| 19:43 |
|
jcamins |
Yep. We saved it for you. |
| 19:43 |
|
* libsysguy |
ducks away |
| 19:44 |
|
libsysguy |
actually after coming back from YAPC this year there has been something that has been bugging me |
| 19:44 |
|
libsysguy |
where the heck did the C4 namespace come from? |
| 19:44 |
|
cait |
i think something to do with the old system hlt had |
| 19:44 |
|
cait |
rngi would know |
| 19:44 |
|
cait |
and because it was supposed to be explosive? :) |
| 19:45 |
|
libsysguy |
oh like a namespace migration from the old system |
| 19:45 |
|
libsysguy |
I think when I first started I didn't really think about it |
| 19:45 |
|
cait |
hm not really i think |
| 19:46 |
|
libsysguy |
but now that I am working on some stuff from the ground floor and having to think of naming conventions…I was like…where in the world did C4 come from :p |
| 19:46 |
|
jcamins |
It was an abbreviation. |
| 19:46 |
|
jcamins |
And I think the previous system was C3. |
| 19:47 |
|
libsysguy |
so like the languages A, B, C, C++, now D |
| 19:47 |
|
libsysguy |
:p |
| 19:47 |
|
jcamins |
Right. |

c4 was the working name for koha, before it was koha, it was either going to be twice as good or explode |
| 19:48 |
|
jcamins |
rangi: nice! |
| 19:48 |

it was also called kumara for a short period of time too |
