hey owen-away |
| 16:57 |
|
kados |
thd-away: you around? |
| 17:54 |
|
thd- |
kados: I am around now |
| 17:58 |
|
thd |
kados: did 73 records fail? |
| 18:21 |
|
thd |
kados: The items have no LC call numbers or bar codes. |
| 18:22 |
|
thd |
kados: Had you forgotten to verify the script for that? |
| 19:02 |
|
thd |
kados: If you had import failure because of the presence standard 090 or 952 in the copy catalogued records, there is a solution that should be used even if there is no trouble. 090 and 952 in the original records should be moved to 09o and 95r respectively. 09o would then be a source of LC call numbers. The original record information should be preserved in this manner until we have a better solution. |
| 19:04 |
|
thd |
kados: Sorry that I had not been fully awake to remember that issue Thursday when we started looking at encoding. |
| 19:58 |
|
owen |
kados: you around by any chance? |
| 20:13 |
|
kados |
owen: am now |
| 20:13 |
|
kados |
owen: briefly ... what's up? |
| 20:14 |
|
thd |
kados: do you see me questions and suggestions above? |
| 20:14 |
|
kados |
thd: yes |
| 20:15 |
|
kados |
thd: the records you sent me don't include any way to map from the original fields to MARC |
| 20:16 |
|
thd |
kados: yes the manual records would need to have any necessary extra information automatically mapped. |
| 20:18 |
|
thd |
kados: I did not want to spend more time attempting to write support for extra values into the manual capture of the Z39.50 client. I had not even expected to find as many as I had manually. |
| 20:20 |
|
thd |
kados: was the presence of 090 in original records the reason that over 70 records failed rather than the character encoding problems of circa 15? |
| 20:21 |
|
kados |
thd: I believe that I removed all tags with '9' in them |
| 20:21 |
|
kados |
thd: though it would be worth it to investigate that |
| 20:21 |
|
kados |
thd: have you changed anything in the records? |
| 20:22 |
|
thd |
kados: no the records I provided were just as downloaded. |
| 20:24 |
|
kados |
thd: I mean have you changed anything on the records I imported? |
| 20:24 |
|
thd |
kados: we sould preserve 090 in the records as 09o until you use of 090 changes to something else. |
| 20:24 |
|
kados |
thd: (wondering if I should attempt a re-import) |
| 20:25 |
|
thd |
kados: no once, I noticed no call numbers I presumed that your import script was unfinished so definitely reimport with a more complete script. |
| 20:26 |
|
thd |
kados: 090 is the only place where LC call numbers will be found for many records. |
| 20:27 |
|
thd |
kados: LC call numbers will be variously in 050, 090, 852 as given in my pseudo code. |
| 20:29 |
|
kados |
right |
| 20:30 |
|
kados |
thd: I thought they wanted dewey call numbers |
| 20:30 |
|
kados |
thd: not LOC call numbers |
| 20:30 |
|
thd |
kados: also, we need 952 $t to track distinct copy numbers in the traditional way. |
| 20:30 |
|
kados |
? |
| 20:31 |
|
kados |
thd: unfortunately, I can't work any more on this tonight |
| 20:31 |
|
thd |
kados: They wanted LC call numbers the last time that you communicated with me in fact I think the advisement about the best choice was up to me. |
| 20:31 |
|
kados |
thd: will you be around tomorrow afternoon? |
| 20:32 |
|
kados |
thd: ok |
| 20:32 |
|
kados |
thd: I'll work on improving the import script tomorrow |
| 20:32 |
|
thd |
kados: yes, I will certainly be around but I did not want to abuse the deadline, given the Easter grace period. |
| 20:32 |
|
kados |
thd: well, we've little choice :-) |
| 20:33 |
|
thd |
kados: However, If your customer is happy I am happy. |
| 20:33 |
|
thd |
kados: can you send me the script you have so far and I will write a better one. |
| 20:35 |
|
thd |
kados: MARC::Record looks very easy to work with but it would be much easier to work with what you already have. |

paul_away: you'll be happy to hear that Mike and I have arrived at a solution for the encoding probs |
| 09:52 |
|
kados |
ToinS: ok :-) |
| 09:53 |
|
kados |
paul_away: it will remove handling of encoding in Koha and move it to the MARC::* modules |
| 09:53 |

kados |
paul_away: hope to be done this week |
