Is there a way to easily merge bib records if for some reason 2 records accidentally are loaded into the system.  What are the steps.

Thanks!  Sorry for all the questions but am looking at several of my process steps and what may need to be changed moving to Koha.

Never apologize for lots of questions :)

Unfortunately the answer to this one is that there is no easy way to merge two records.

How is this done? Can you walk me through the steps? I don't know how to do this in 3.0.

Hi there,
 
We are running 2.9 in Horowhenua.In catalogue maintenance we have the ability to shift a group record to another biblio, deleting the 'orphan' biblio in the process. Is that what you had in mind? (Shifting the group effectively shifts the items as well of course).

This was a feature that never worked in a public release of Koha unfortunately.

Hi

Is this dealing with the Record Matching Rules for a bulkmarcimport?  I
am assuming that the Record Matching Rules do work that way I could bulk
import different libraries collections at different times...

i.e. - Merging records is for cataloging procedures after the imports
have been completed.

Any clarification would help.

Thanks,

As I understand it, you're right, Merging is something that's done
post-import, yes.

Re: Merge Bib Records

Hi,

There's a script that can be used to merge records in our koha-tools
collection (see http://koha-tools.sourceforge.net/get.php or
http://kylehall.info), under
winnebago-to-koha/trunk/zebraCompress/zebraCompress.php.  However, we've
only used it in dev_week so it's untested in 3.0.  Note that it's only
for versions of Koha that use zebra.

If you run it in a browser it will search for matches by ISBN, and
display items by title, call number, itemtype, and holding branch.  Then
you can choose to skip those matches or group them together (by
numbering them) to be merged.  After you've gone through all the matches
(note that it will time out if you leave the session alone for too long,
and you'll have to start over), then you can run
scrub_orphaned_biblios.pl (although I don't know if that script is in
3.0) to clean out biblios that no longer have items attached, then do a
full reindex.

Also note that it attaches the items to the last record in the match
list.  At some point I'd like Kyle to change it so you can choose which
record to attach them to, as the quality of the records in our catalog
varies significantly.

I've been using it on a virtual machine just for merging individual
libraries' collections before migrating them into Koha, as that is all
our library system wants at the moment.
 
Cheers,
Cindy
