| 02:58 | mtompset | Greetings, #koha. |

| 08:00 | cait | hi drojf |
| 09:07 | bigbrovar_ joined #koha | |
| 09:09 | bigbrovar_ | Hi guys, I am a sysadmin who finds himself working with koha and marc tag.. (the librarians can't in this school can't be bothered so I have to do the heavy lifting) anyway I am coverting their spreadsheet records to marc21.. I have pretty much done all the mapping. I just need to understand how koha manages multiple copies of a particular item |
| 09:11 | do I list each copy in the spreadsheet am about to convert (to marc) and use different accession numbers (as unique identifier) or is there a marc (or koha holding tag) which indicates the number copies for a particular item. | |
| 09:12 | cait | in koha copies/items are held in 952 |
| 09:12 | you want a 952 for each item | |
| 09:13 | best is to have them all on one record | |
| 09:13 | if you can manage that | |
| 09:13 | bigbrovar_ | also what in (layman terms) is the koha holding tag 952$t |
| 09:13 | cait | else you might want to import the bibliographic data without the items at first and attach the items later |
| 09:13 | hm i have to check | |
| 09:13 | what you really need to set is a b o and p probably | |
| 09:14 | oh and y | |
| 09:14 | bigbrovar_ | cait: it says copy number .. is that the number of copies for an item.. or the specific number (like unique number for an item) |
| 09:14 | cait | a unique number for that item |
| 09:14 | if you have the same callnumber for all the items | |
| 09:15 | you can use that as a sequential number to identify an individual item | |
| 09:15 | the copy number will be shown together with the callnumber in a lot of places | |
| 09:15 | 952 subfiels always refer to the single item, never to all of them | |
| 09:17 | bigbrovar_ | cait: my next dumb question would be to ask: what is callnumber (the librarian I asked didn't know.. library edu in my country is still stone age) |
| 09:17 | is the call number the same as cutter number or the classification number | |
| 09:17 | cait | normally it#s what#s on the label on the back on the book |
| 09:17 | what you use to find the book on the shelf | |
| 09:18 | makes sense? | |
| 09:18 | so i think it could be cutter number or classification number in oyur case | |
| 09:18 | bigbrovar_ | cait: yes.. they have the classification number at the back of the book in the library here |
| 09:18 | cait | not sure about the differences between the terms though |
| 09:18 | then i would put that in as callnumber | |
| 09:18 | where are you from bigbrovar? | |
| 09:19 | paul_p joined #koha | |
| 09:19 | bigbrovar_ | Nigeria |
| 09:19 | wahanui | Nigeria is well ahead? |
| 09:19 | bigbrovar_ | wahanui: Library edu here is very backword.. |
| 09:19 | wahanui | OK, bigbrovar_. |
| 09:20 | bigbrovar_ | I had to introduce koha to the degree holding librarians and educate them about Marc |
| 09:20 | and authority records | |

| 19:41 | jcamins | libsysguy: missing C4::Search? |
| 19:42 | libsysguy | haha |
| 19:42 | I came to see if anyone had burned it to the ground yet | |
| 19:43 | I guess the threat (AKA C4::Search) remains :p | |
| 19:43 | jcamins | Yep. We saved it for you. |
| 19:43 | * libsysguy | ducks away |
| 19:44 | libsysguy | actually after coming back from YAPC this year there has been something that has been bugging me |
| 19:44 | where the heck did the C4 namespace come from? | |
| 19:44 | cait | i think something to do with the old system hlt had |
| 19:44 | rngi would know | |
| 19:44 | and because it was supposed to be explosive? :) | |
| 19:45 | libsysguy | oh like a namespace migration from the old system |
| 19:45 | I think when I first started I didn't really think about it | |
| 19:45 | cait | hm not really i think |
| 19:46 | libsysguy | but now that I am working on some stuff from the ground floor and having to think of naming conventions…I was like…where in the world did C4 come from :p |
| 19:46 | jcamins | It was an abbreviation. |
| 19:46 | And I think the previous system was C3. | |
| 19:47 | libsysguy | so like the languages A, B, C, C++, now D |
| 19:47 | :p | |
| 19:47 | jcamins | Right. |
| 19:48 | rangi | c2 |
| 19:48 | libsysguy | eek rangi is here |
| 19:48 | * libsysguy | runs :p |
| 19:48 | rangi | c4 was the working name for koha, before it was koha, it was either going to be twice as good or explode |
| 19:48 | jcamins | rangi: nice! |
| 19:48 | rangi | it was also called kumara for a short period of time too |
| 19:48 | jcamins | @quote add <@rangi> c4 was the working name for koha, before it was koha, it was either going to be twice as good or explode |
