[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] cataloging

[Hardy, Elaine]

Lauri, 

The problem is likely one Jason mentioned -- there is a field in the MARC XML that sometimes does not get populated during the conversion process form MARC 8 or MARC 21 when you import new records. This field has something to do with making the record visible to search indexes. Records affected can only be searched by the title control number, or in the browse call number search. If you overlay the record, this fingerprint field usually is populated and the record thus shows up in searches. The bug is also fixed in a later version than what you have.

We currently have version 1.2.3.1 but our tech person said that he would upgrade us to the 1.4 version that is now available. 

Thanks for all of the suggestions. Unfortunately nothing has worked for me yet, but I will continue trying.

Hi Lauri, 

You always need to "Check in" a book after you add it. Try that and see if it works.

I work for a small public library and we are looking at Evergreen to replace 
our old system. Our volunteer tech person has downloaded and installed the 
demo server and staff client. I have been given the task of figuring out 
how it works (but I'm not a tech person). I have found a lot of helpful 
information on the website, but was wondering if there were any easy 
instructions for cataloging materials. I have added several records using 
the Z30.50 tool. Then edited the record using "holdings maintenance" and 
have made the holding available. My problem is that not all of the holding 
show up in the OPAC search, but if i click on the browse shelf they show 
up. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help and guidance will be 
greatly appreciated. 
Thank you, 

Lauri
