I did it for authorities 10:51 kf sorry phone call 11:17 kf juan_sieira_: still not sure I understand it correctly - you could add a link to the plugin in cataloging (if there is none already) to the authority record in the authorities module 11:19 juan_sieira_ when you are cataloging, and searching in Z3950, in the list of biblios you can view it as card, marc ... 11:20 juan_sieira_ like this, I want to view the same in authorities list, when I do a search for authorities, in cataloguing, the window that is open when I do a clic in "..." link 11:20 juan_sieira_ Marc view 11:21 kf hm 11:21 kf sounds like a new feature to me 11:21 kf I think we have no different views for authorities at the moment - it's always kinda marc 11:22 kf perhaps you can do it using the same thing used for the biblio records 11:27 kf jcamins_away: around? 11:28 jcamins_away kf: yes. 11:28 jcamins Good morning. 11:28 kf ah hi :) 11:29 kf I wondered if you can tell me something about cataloging oil paintings, coins, medals and other things in marc21 11:29 kf hard or doable? perhaps some hints? 11:29 jcamins I didn't catalog realia in MARC21, but definitely doable. 11:30 kf hm ok 11:30 jcamins The 245$h is [realia].

Basically it listed the wrong items in the wrong letters. 12:31 kf ah right 12:33 oakivil the wiki description sounds brilliant, but I have no idea how much of it has been implemented. I cant just say that this module will solve our problems without testing it first 12:34 kf the description on the wiki was done by ian - implemented from another company 12:34 kf so there might be some differences 12:34 jcamins oakivil: it's a nifty feature, but it's not nearly as fully-featured as the RFC. 12:34 jcamins At least, that was my impression. 12:34 oakivil ok 12:34 oakivil thats good to know 12:35 oakivil hmm so maybe it is 40% complete? 12:35 kf I think you are right jcamins 12:35 kf the wiki implementation was more general too 12:35 kf wiki descpription 12:35 oakivil wiki implementation was quite good 12:35 kf I think to amke this work for sets / general relationships t owuld need some more work 12:35 oakivil very well thought out 12:35 kf sekjal++ 12:35 kf read hourly loans - that's coming and a good read too :) 12:36 jcamins The people who worked on it always insisted that everything worked, though, and never gave any instructions on installing it properly, so there is the possibility that everything they claim was written, and I just don't know how to install it. 12:37 jcamins The analytic module by OSS Labs does not offer a basis for arbitrary bibliographic relationships. 12:38 oakivil ok 12:39 oakivil but i expect the authorities module to work flawlessly 12:39 oakivil its such a simple piece it seems 12:39 jcamins oakivil: hehehe! 12:39 oakivil wrong again :) 12:39 oakivil just lists of words 12:40 oakivil how can someone screw that up? 12:40 oakivil or am i totally wrong? 12:40 oleonard How hard can it be to program an ILS, right?

It's just the lack of a working linker. 12:49 kf ok, perhaps we can agree on that :) 12:49 oakivil then again 12:49 kf and I would like to see it moved to $0 - to match the standard 12:49 oakivil if authority is 1000 characters long 12:49 oakivil it will clutter the marc-string 12:49 jcamins kf: me too. 12:50 jcamins oakivil: no, the heading is still embedded. 12:50 kf but koha uses the number for linking instead of a text search 12:50 jcamins Right. 12:50 oakivil ok 12:50 oakivil and it should be used as text serach? 12:50 oakivil according to marc21? 12:51 oakivil how do you fix that when importing via z39.50? 12:51 kf afaik or was told the $0 subfield for storing the number was introduced late 12:51 kf oakivil: you get no authorities through z39.50 12:51 kf you have to relink them 12:51 oakivil nope 12:51 jcamins oakivil: you don't. Hence my complaint. There's no working linker, so you're basically SOL for any record you don't manually catalog in Koha. 12:51 kf or have them autocreated 12:51 oakivil but you have biblios where some have authorities and some have links 12:51 kf SOL? 12:52 kf in our case we swap fields 12:52 kf from $0 to $9 befroe import 12:52 jcamins kf: Stuck Out of Luck. 12:52 kf and all works well 12:52 kf but special use case 12:52 kf jcamins: thx :) 12:52 oakivil jcamins: kindergarten version :D ? 12:52 jcamins kf: you're a union catalog. Also, German catalog rules are logical. 12:52 jcamins oakivil: right. 12:53 oakivil but rhymes! ++ 12:53 oakivil hmm 12:54 oakivil but if you export your mark data, its easy to add a sanitizer-module which replaces those authority links with their real values 12:54 oakivil so the output is according to standard 12:56 kf now I got used to being a developer, you tell me I am a union catalog. ... ;) 12:56 kf oakivil: $9 is standard to - local field 12:56 oakivil maybe its a praise? 12:57 kf he said german catalog rules were logical in the same sentence - not sure he is not being ironical 12:58 jcamins kf: no, I was serious. 12:58 oakivil i cant remeber those marc fields 12:59 oakivil $0 and $9 are equally strange to me :D 12:59 oakivil lemme check the manual 13:01 oakivil so $9 is a koha-specific field 13:01 oakivil no.. a local field? used in the local system? 13:02 oakivil so marc lets you use it however you wish? 13:03 kf oakivil: yes 13:03 kf everything with a 9 is for local use 13:03 kf subfields, 9xx, x9x, xx9 13:03 oakivil ah 13:03 oakivil i see 13:11 jcamins Except for 490. 13:11 oakivil are there any rules in libraries with zero exceptions? 13:13 kf oh right 13:13 kf oakivil: rhetoric question? 13:13 jcamins oakivil: yes, rangi has a rule that has no exceptions: 13:13 jcamins @quote get 123 13:13 huginn jcamins: Quote #123: "rangi: #thingsihavelearnt if there is a mad scheme a library somewhere will be doing it ... except madder" (added by wizzyrea at 09:20 PM, March 30, 2011) 13:14 oakivil lol 13:14 oakivil damn i did lol, sorry 13:14 oakivil librarians are crazy 13:14 kf but nice, right? 13:14 oakivil who is telling them what is profitable work and what is not? 13:15 oakivil well yeah, its easy to be nice when you dont have to take any responsibility for results 13:16 oakivil im not talking about all librarians 13:16 oakivil but in general 13:18 oakivil just an idea, but if our audience doesnt care about all the novelties of cataloguing, why should libraries? 13:19 oakivil or is it just Finland :D 13:21 kf not sure about all that - but there are libarians in here ... ;) 13:21 oakivil I know 13:21 oakivil but I dont find it meaningfull work if you sit by your computer and watch clips from youtube 13:22 oakivil maybe you should try to improve your workflows for ex or something usefull. 13:22 oakivil anyway 13:23 oleonard Yeah, anyway... 13:23 jcamins What does this snippet of SQL do: SELECT DISTINCT(issues.borrowernumber), firstname, surname 13:25 oakivil selects firstname and surname of people who have a unique borrowernumber in issues table? 13:25 oakivil is that a whole sql sentence? 13:25 druthb Borrowers who have something out will be listed. If they have more than one item, they'll only get one listing. (that's the DISTINCT) 13:26 oakivil yeah :) 13:26 jcamins druthb: but what's with the parentheses? 13:26 oakivil maybe DISTINCT is a function 13:27 druthb Shouldn't do anything, at that point. I'd do it more as SELECT DISTINCTROW issues.borrowernumber,firstname,surname from issues JOIN borrowers USING (borrowernumber), myself. 13:27 jcamins Okay, thanks. 13:27 oakivil but JOINs are such a pain 13:28 oakivil but who know how DISTINCT works 13:29 druthb DISTINCT tells sql to choose only one, if it appears multiple times...not black magic. 13:29 oakivil yeah but does it use join under the hood anyway 13:29 oakivil as JOINs are quite expensive processes 13:29 jcamins That was just a snippet. 13:30 oakivil yeah 13:30 druthb DISTINCT doesn't, no. You're still gonna have to JOIN to get the other fields. 13:30 oakivil ok 13:30 jcamins I didn't see any reason to flood #koha with a forty-word query. :) 13:30 oakivil its nice to chat once in a while :D 13:31 druthb SELECT biblionumber from biblio where biblionumber NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT biblionumber FROM items); is functionally equivalent to SELECT biblionumber FROM biblio LEFT JOIN items USING (biblionumber) WHERE items.biblionumber IS NULL; I have not profiled to see which is faster. 13:32 oakivil you won!

And after you process them you can clean them, but they apparently don't ever get deleted and go away to /dev/null. 21:50 rhcl So wouldn't that be a good thing--to nuke 'em? Would it be hard to do? The sysadmin in me says just do #rm -f poolbatchfile.rec. 21:50 Brooke there should be quite a bit on the listservs about that 21:52 jcamins_away Argh!
