[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] ***SPAM*** RE: cataloging

[Marilyn Pillar]

We have had problems since we upgraded to the 1.4 version when adding
new records to the catalogue.  Once the information has been entered
staff click "Create Record", but if at that point we were to search the
database by author, title or subject the record does not display.  (It
is searchable by ISBN though.)  However we have discovered that if we
proceed to "MARC edit" from the holdings maintenance and click "Save
Record" the new record will be searchable.  In essence we are saving the
record twice.  I had our Cataloguing Assistant do a new record and then
check in browse shelf before doing the second save and it did show
there.  Sounds like your problem could be similar to ours.

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,
