Time Nick Message 14:37 JYL57 Your welcome owen 14:37 JYL57 But wasn't more informed... 14:36 JYL57 in between I logged on Paul Koha website to check... 14:36 owen Thanks for your help. I think I'm going to put this aside for now. 14:35 JYL57 sure ! the problem is to find a list linked to your own norms 14:34 owen That would certainly be easier than defining them all by hand 14:33 owen Hmm... interesting. 14:29 JYL57 And Paul has added a bulkauthimport tool that we hope to use soon... 14:29 JYL57 I've seen some predefined downloadable files on the French National Library... 14:26 owen I think many libraries are accustomed to purchasing authority records separately 14:26 owen Yes, I don't think it's something we've ever had in our catalog, even before we switched to Koha. 14:25 JYL57 We decided to implement them in phase II of our long road... 14:24 owen I'm beginning to understand what the authority records are supposed to do. Now I'm just now sure how they work in Koha. 14:22 JYL57 having predefined Authorities to manage that is useful 14:22 JYL57 this hierarchies are complex and not obvious 14:21 JYL57 my librarian explained me that's they are different norms to unify ordering of items... 14:19 JYL57 Maybe he should have... haha ! 14:19 owen :) 14:19 JYL57 Paul said in his text "I won't offense you by reminding what authorities are..." 14:17 JYL57 no only the display, but the search also I think ! 14:16 owen So it alters the display of bibliographic information in some way, to point out similar data? 14:14 JYL57 owen, as far as I understand, authorities are a way to structure and organize notice complimentary data 14:13 owen Part of my problem is that I don't fully understand what Authorities are supposed to do. 14:10 JYL57 jumping to read it... 14:09 owen This section: 2.5.2.3. Paramétrage de la grille d'autorité 14:09 owen I'm looking at this document: http://www.kohadocs.org/migrer_ses_donnees.html 14:07 JYL57 And I've got koha 2.2 runing here... 14:06 JYL57 Not at all, but I'm a french native ;-) 14:06 owen Are you familiar with Authority Management? 14:06 JYL57 owen I can help you if you want 14:05 owen I'm trying to use my rusty high-school French to puzzle through some of Paul's documentation 14:02 pate how're things today? 14:00 owen Hi again pate 13:59 pate hi ho
