[OPEN-ILS-DEV] How to add a book(s) and DVDs etc?

[Grant Johnson]

1) OCLC requires a username and password.
    Are you entering them on the Z39.50 import form?

    loc:VOYAGER should work out of the box.

Here's some that work- I'm sure they are not complete but I get results for now.
Working on some additional entries this w/e.

Add the following to /open_ils/conf/opensrf.xml in the <z39.50><services> section..... 
Someone can chime in as to what to restart. 
I stop_all as opensrf and then 
   osrf_ctl.sh -c /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -a start_router
   osrf_ctl.sh -c /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -a start_perl
   osrf_ctl.sh -c /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -a start_c

Here's an AMICUS block that I know works.
                <AMICUS>
                    <!-- AMICUS does not require username/password -->
                    <name>AMICUS</name>
                    <host>amicus.nlc-bnc.ca</host>
                    <port>210</port>
                    <db>NL</db>
                    <record_format>F</record_format>
                    <attrs>
                        <tcn><code>12</code><format>1</format></tcn>
                        <isbn><code>7</code><format>6</format></isbn>
                        <lccn><code>9</code><format>1</format></lccn>
                        <author><code>1003</code><format>6</format></author>
                        <title><code>4</code><format>6</format></title>

                    </attrs>
                </AMICUS>

Here's an INNOPAC site as is AMICUS:
<USASK>
                    <!-- usask does not require username/password -->
                    <name>usask</name>
                    <host>sundog.usask.ca</host>
                    <port>210</port>
                    <db>INNOPAC</db>
                    <record_format>B</record_format>
                    <attrs>
                        <author><code>1003</code><format>1</format></author>
                        <isbn><code>8</code><format>1</format></isbn>
                        <title><code>4</code><format>1</format></title>
                        <issn><code>8</code><format>1</format></issn>
                    </attrs>
</USASK>

Here's a Unicorn site:

                <ALBERTA>
                    <!-- uofa does not require username/password -->
                    <name>uofa</name>
                    <host>ualapp.library.ualberta.ca</host>
                    <port>2200</port>
                    <db>unicorn</db>
                    <record_format>F</record_format>
                    <attrs>
                        <tcn><code>12</code><format>1</format></tcn>
                        <isbn><code>7</code><format>6</format></isbn>
                        <lccn><code>9</code><format>1</format></lccn>
                        <author><code>1003</code><format>6</format></author>
                        <title><code>4</code><format>6</format></title>
                        <issn><code>8</code><format>1</format></issn>
                        <pubdate><code>31</code><format>1</format></pubdate>
                    </attrs>
                </ALBERTA>


2) Perhaps a simplistic question - sorry if it is.
    Can you see the records in the Staff Client OPAC View?
    If you have not added Volume/Copy to those records they will not appear in the Public OPAC.

3) There are instructions on the wiki to point to Amazon "additional content" for things like Book jackets 
    - But you should use your own content provider for this if you have one.
    - Adding the correct URL into the 856 field should make it appear in the Summary display.

   

1)I am trying to use the z39.50 using the services OLUC World Cat and
Voyager loc but when searching I am getting "server error network/server
problem :undefined"
I have tried searching using isbn, author, publisher and I am getting
the
same problem. I do have internet connection which I have open and
working

2) I have manually entered 2 marc records using the staff client but
when I
am searching the web opac it is not pulling up any of my records even
though
I am searching by title, author. 
When i am entering in the 650 field for subject and I do the validate
the
terms I entered Web Services turned red. I thought I could enter terms
that
persons can easily search by.

3) How do I go about manually adding a book cover to the marc record and
other things like a link to a pdf file (showing table of contents), or
maybe
a link to a training video that came with it,

Thanks,
Charlene

Hi,

Various scripts to get (uncontrolled) MARC data from Amazon, or from LOC

(or WorldCat), using the command-line or using ISBNs from a ODF sheet:

http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~lesagee/openils/marc/

Unfortunately I haven't had time to properly maintain (or even document)

them, maybe nothing works anymore.

Also this doesn't do the MARC import in Evergreen.

Good luck,
