When editing preferences a ‘(modified)’ tag will appear next to items you change until you click the ‘Save All’ button:

After saving your preferences you’ll get a confirmation message telling you what preferences were saved:

image3

Cada seção das preferências podem serem ordenadas alfabeticamente clicando na pequena seta para baixo a direita da palavra ‘Preferência’ na coluna principal

image4

If the preference refers to monetary values (like maxoutstanding) the currency displayed will be the default you set in your Moedas e taxas de câmbio administration area. In the examples to follow they will all read USD for U.S. Dollars.

Important

For libraries systems with unique URLs for each site the system preference can be overridden by editing your koha-http.conf file this has to be done by a system administrator or someone with access to your system files. For example if all libraries but one want to have search terms highlighted in results you set the OpacHighlightedWords preference to ‘Highlight’ then edit the koha-http.conf for the library that wants this turned off by adding ‘SetEnv OVERRIDE_SYSPREF_OpacHighlightedWords “0”’. After restarting the web server that one library will no longer see highlighted terms. Consult with your system administrator for more information.

  • This preference should only be used by library systems which are sharing a single Koha installation among multiple branches but are considered independent organizations, meaning they do not share material or patrons with other branches and do not plan to change that in the future. If set to ‘Prevent’ it increases the security between library branches by: prohibiting staff users from logging into another branch from within the staff client, filtering out patrons from patron searches who are not a part of the login branch conducting the search, limiting the location choices to the login branch when adding or modifying an item record, preventing users from other branch locations from placing holds or checking out materials from library branches other than their own, and preventing staff from editing item records which belong to other library branches. All of these security safeguards can be overridden only by the superlibrarian, the highest level of privileges.

    Important

    • Will not show records in OPAC search results if they’re marked as suppressed

OpacSuppressionRedirect Values:

  • an explanatory page (‘This record is blocked’).
  • the 404 error page (‘Not found’).

Descrição:

  • These preferences control hiding of bibliographic records from display in the OPAC. Each bibliographic record you want to hide from the OPAC simply needs to have the value “1” in the field mapped with Suppress index (942$n field in MARC21, no official field in UNIMARC). The indexer then hides it from display in OPAC but will still display it in the Staff Client. If you want to further control suppression you can set an IP address range to still show suppressed items to. Define a range like 192.168.. If you don’t want to limit suppression in this way, leave the IP field blank. You can also decide what the patrons will see in the OPAC when a title is suppressed by setting the OpacSuppressionRedirect and OpacSuppressionMessage preferences. You can either show the patron a 404 page if they try to see a suppressed record or you can create a custom page by entering the HTML in the OpacSuppressionMessage part of this preference.

    Note

    An authorized value for the MARC21 942$n field (or the equivalent UNIMARC field) should be set to eliminate errors. One example would be to create an authorized value titled SUPPRESS with a value of 0 for don’t suppress and 1 for suppress.

    Important

    If this preference is set to ‘hide’ and you have the 942n field set to 1, it will hide the entire bib record - not just an individual item.

    Note

    Suppressed records will show a note in the staff client indicating that they are suppressed from view in the OPAC.

    This note can be styled by using the IntranetUserCSS preference to stand out more if you’d like.

URLLinkText

Default: Online Resource

Asks: Show ___ as the text of links embedded in MARC records.

Descrição:

  • If the 856 field does not have a subfield 3 or y defined, the OPAC will say ‘Click here to access online.’ If you would like the field to say something else enter that in this field.

Asks: ___ record control number ($w subfields) and control number (001) for linking of bibliographic records.

Values:

  • Don’t use

    • When clicking on links to titles that appear next to ‘Continues’ and ‘Continued by’ in the detail display Koha will perform a title search
  • Use

    • When clicking on links to titles that appear next to ‘Continues’ and ‘Continued by’ in the detail display Koha will perform a control number (MARC field 001) search

    Important

    Unless you are going in and manually changing 773$w to match your rigorously-defined bibliographic relationships, you should set this preference to “Don’t use” and instead set EasyAnalyticalRecords to “Display”

Descrição:

  • If you have a serial called “Journal of Interesting Things” which has a separate record from when it was called “Transactions of the Interesting Stuff Society,” you could add linking fields to indicate the relationship between the two records. UseControlNumber allows you to use your local accession numbers for those links. In MARC21, the relevant sections of the two records might look like this:

    =001    12345
    =110  2_$aInteresting Stuff Society.
    =245  10$aTransactions of the Interesting Stuff Society.
    =785  00$aInteresting Stuff Society$tJournal of Interesting Things.$w12346
    
    =001    12346
    =110  2_$aInteresting Stuff Society.
    =245  10$aJournal of Interesting Things.
    =780  00$aInteresting Stuff Society$tTransactions of the Interesting Stuff Society.$w12345
    

    With UseControlNumber set to ‘Use’, the 78x links will use the Control Numbers is subfield $w, instead of doing a title search on “Journal of Interesting Things” and “Transactions of the Interesting Stuff Society” respectively.

Values:

  • do
  • don’t

Descrição:

  • This preference allows you to choose to alter the ISBN matching rule used when staging records for import to be more aggressive. This means that all text will be stripped from the ISBN field so that a pure number match is possible.

    Important

    Note that this preference has no effect if UseQueryParser is on.

AggressiveMatchOnISSN

Default: don’t

Asks: When matching on ISSN with the record import tool, ___ attempt to match aggressively by trying all variations of the ISSNs in the imported record as a phrase in the ISSN fields of already cataloged records. Note that this preference has no effect if UseQueryParser is on.

Values:

  • Mostrar

  • Don’t Display

    Important

    If you decide to use this feature you’ll want to make sure that your UseControlNumber preference is set to “Don’t use” or else the “Show analytics” links in the staff client and the OPAC will be broken.

Descrição:

  • An analytic entry in a catalog is one that describes a part of a larger work that is also described in the catalog. In bibliographic cataloging, analytic entries may be made for chapters in books or special issues of articles in periodicals. In archival cataloging, analytic entries may be made for series or items within a collection. This feature in Koha allows for an easy way of linking analytic entries to the host records, and this system preference adds several new menu options to the staff cataloging detail pages to allow that to happen.

Record Structure

AlternateHoldingsField & AlternateHoldingsSeparator

Asks: Display MARC subfield ___ as holdings information for records that do not have items, with the subfields separated by ___.

Descrição:

  • Sometimes libraries migrate to Koha with their holding info in the 852 field (OCLC holdings information field) and choose not to transfer that information into the 952 (Koha holdings information field) because they don’t plan on circulating those items. For those libraries or other libraries that have data in the 852 fields of their records that they want to display, these preferences let you choose to display holdings info from a field other than the 952 field. The AlternateHoldingsField preference can contain multiple subfields to look in; for instance 852abhi would look in 852 subfields a, b, h, and i.

  • With AlternateHoldingsField set to 852abhi and AlternateHoldingsSeparator set to a space the holdings would look like the following:

  • not generated automatically

Descrição:

  • This setting is for libraries wishing to generate barcodes from within Koha (as opposed to scanning in pre-printed barcodes or manually assigning them). The default behavior makes it so that when you click in the barcode field (952$p in MARC21) it will populate with the automatic barcode you have chosen. If you would rather it only enter an automatic barcode when you click on the plugin (the … to the right of the field) you can change the plugin used for that field in the framework. Set the plugin for 952$p (if using MARC21 or equivalent field mapped to items.barcode in your local MARC format) for your frameworks to barcode_manual.pl instead of barcode.pl. Learn more about editing frameworks under the MARC Bibliographic Frameworks section of this manual.

Values:

  • Don’t move
  • Mover

More information can be found in the related chapter in this manual.

    • Note

      If the ReturnToShelvingCart system preference is turned on, any newly checked-in item is also automatically put into the shelving cart, to be covered by the same script run.

Example: Your library has a $5 limit set for ‘fines’ (ie, after incurring $5 in fines, a patron can no longer check out items). A patron comes to the desk with 5 items to check out (4 books and a video) The patron has $4 in charges already on their account. One of the videos has a rental charge of $1, therefore making the total fines on the patron’s account suddenly $5 (the limit).

Values:

  • circulation rules only.
  • the calendar to push the due date to the next open day.
  • the calendar to skip all days the library is closed.

Descrição:

  • This preference controls how scheduled library closures affect the due date of a material. The ‘the calendar to skip all days the library is closed’ setting allows for a scheduled closure not to count as a day in the loan period, the ‘circulation rules only’ setting would not consider the scheduled closure at all, and ‘the calendar to push the due date to the next open day’ would only effect the due date if the day the item is due would fall specifically on the day of closure.

If this preference is set to ‘circulation rules only’ then the item will remain due on the 25th. If the preference is set to ‘the calendar to push the due date to the next open day’ then the due date will be December 26th. If the preference is set to ‘the calendar to skip all days the library is closed’ then the due date will be pushed to the 27th of December to accommodate for the two closed days.

Branches of equal cost will be selected from randomly. The branch or branches of the next highest cost shall be selected from only if all the branches in the previous group are unable to fill the hold.

    The system will use the item’s current holding branch when determining whether the item can fulfill a hold using the Transport Cost Matrix.

Values:

  • Don’t use

  • Permitir
  • Não permitir

Descrição:

  • This preference is a binary setting which controls whether or not the library staff can override the circulation and fines rules as they pertain to the placement of holds. Setting this value to “Don’t allow” will prevent anyone from overriding, setting it to “Allow” will allow it. This setting is important because it determines how strict the libraries rules for placing holds are. If this is set to “Allow”, exceptions can be made for patrons who are otherwise normally in good standing with the library, but there is opportunity for the staff to abuse this function. If it is set to “Don’t allow”, no abuse of the system is possible, but it makes the system entirely inflexible in respect to holds.

This preference is important because it determines whether or not a patron can place a request for an item that might be in the process of being repaired or not in good condition. The library may wish to set this to “Don’t allow” if they were concerned about their patrons not receiving the item in a timely manner or at all (if it is determined that the item is beyond repair). Setting it to “Allow” would allow a patron to place a hold on an item and therefore receive it as soon as it becomes available.
AllowHoldsOnPatronsPossessions

Default: Allow

Asks: ____ a patron to place a hold on a record where the patron already has one or more items attached to that record checked out.

Values:

  • Permitir

canreservefromotherbranches

Default: Allow

Asks: ___ a user from one library to place a hold on an item from another library

Descrição:

  • This preference is a binary setting which determines whether patrons can place holds on items from other branches. If the preference is set to “Allow” patrons can place such holds, if it is set to “Don’t allow” they cannot. This is an important setting because it determines if users can use Koha to request items from another branch. If the library is sharing an installation of Koha with other independent libraries which do not wish to allow interlibrary borrowing it is recommended that this parameter be set to “Don’t allow”.

Values:

ConfirmFutureHolds

Default: 0

Asks: Confirm future hold requests (starting no later than ___ days from now) at checkin time.

Descrição:

  • When confirming a hold at checkin time, the number of days in this preference is taken into account when deciding which holds to show alerts for. This preference does not interfere with renewing, checking out or transferring a book.

    Note

    This number of days will be used too in calculating the default end date for the Holds to pull-report. But it does not interfere with issuing, renewing or transferring books.

    Important

    This preference is only looked at if you’re allowing hold dates in the future with AllowHoldDateInFuture or OPACAllowHoldDateInFuture

decreaseLoanHighHolds, decreaseLoanHighHoldsDuration, decreaseLoanHighHoldsValue, decreaseLoanHighHoldsControl, and decreaseLoanHighHoldsIgnoreStatuses

Values:

  • Don’t enable
  • Enable

Descrição:

  • This preference enables Koha to email the library staff whenever a patron requests an item to be held. While this function will immediately alert the librarian to the patron’s need, it is extremely impractical in most library settings. In most libraries the hold lists are monitored and maintained from a separate interface. That said, many libraries that allow on shelf holds prefer to have this preference turned on so that they are alerted to pull an item from the shelf.

    Important

    In order for this email to send you must have a notice template with the code of HOLDPLACED

    Important

    This notice will only be sent if the process_message_queue.pl cronjob being run periodically to send the messages.

    • If StaticHoldsQueueWeight is left at the default then this will use all of your branches in alphabetical order, otherwise it will use the branches in the order that you entered them in the StaticHoldsQueueWeight preference.

Descriptions:

  • These preferences control how the Holds Queue report is generated using a cron job.

    If you do not want all of your libraries to participate in the on-shelf holds fulfillment process, you should list the the libraries that *do* participate in the process here by inputting all the participating library’s branchcodes, separated by commas ( e.g. “MPL,CPL,SPL,BML” etc. ).

    By default, the holds queue will be generated such that the system will first attempt to hold fulfillment using items already at the pickup library if possible. If there are no items available at the pickup library to fill a hold, build_holds_queue.pl will then use the list of libraries defined in StaticHoldsQueueWeight. If RandomizeHoldsQueueWeight is disabled ( which it is by default ), the script will assign fulfillment requests in the order the branches are placed in the StaticHoldsQueueWeight system preference.

    Por exemplo, se o seu sistema tem três bibliotecas de tamanhos variados (pequena, média e grande) e você deseja que a maior incidência de reservas recaia sobre as bibliotecas maiores antes das menores, você pode configurar StaticHoldsQueueWeight para algo como “GDE,MED,PEQ”.

    Caso você queira que o encargo das reservas recaia de maneira equânime na rede de bibliotecas, simplesmente ative a preferência RandomizeHoldsQueueWeight.Quando esta preferência do sistema está ativa, a ordem na qual cada biblioteca será solicitada a atender reservas será aleatória a cada vez que a lista for gerada.

    Leaving StaticHoldsQueueWeight empty is contraindicated at this time. Doing so will cause the build_holds_queue script to ignore RandomizeHoldsQueueWeight, causing the script to request hold fulfillment not randomly, but by alphabetical order.

    Important

    The Transport Cost Matrix takes precedence in controlling where holds are filled from, if the matrix is not used then Koha checks the StaticHoldsQueueWeight. To use the Transport Cost Matrix simply set your UseTransportCostMatrix preference to ‘Use’

Values:

  • Disable
  • Enable

Descrição:

  • Once enabled you can visit http://YOURKOHACATALOG/cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl to see your file. For the Open Archives Initiative-Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) there are two groups of ‘participants’: Data Providers and Service Providers. Data Providers (open archives, repositories) provide free access to metadata, and may, but do not necessarily, offer free access to full texts or other resources. OAI-PMH provides an easy to implement, low barrier solution for Data Providers. Service Providers use the OAI interfaces of the Data Providers to harvest and store metadata. Note that this means that there are no live search requests to the Data Providers; rather, services are based on the harvested data via OAI-PMH. Koha at present can only act as a Data Provider. It can not harvest from other repositories. The biggest stumbling block to having Koha harvest from other repositories is that MARC is the only metadata format that Koha indexes natively. Visit http://www.oaforum.org/tutorial/english/page3.htm for diagrams of how OAI-PMH works.

Learn more about OAI-PMH at: http://www.openarchives.org/pmh/

      The category code is limited to 10 characters (numbers and letters)

    • Important

      This field is required in order to save your patron category. If left blank you will be presented with an error.

      image150

  • Digite uma versão de texto da categoria no campo ‘Descrição’.

    • Important

      This field is required in order to save your patron category. If left blank you will be presented with an error.

      image151

  • Enrollment period (in months) should be filled in if you have a limited enrollment period for your patrons (eg. Student cards expire after 9 months or until a specific date)

    • Important

      You cannot enter both a month limit and a date until. Choose to enter either one or the other.

    • Important

      This field is required in order to save your patron category. If left blank you will be presented with an error.

      image152

  • Algumas categorias de usuários podem ter uma idade mínima (em anos) associada, digite esta idade em ‘Idade Requerida’

    • Important

      This value will only be checked if BorrowerMandatoryField defines the dateofbirth as a required field on the patron record

  • Categorias de usuários também podem ter um limite de idade (em anos) associado (como crianças), digite esta idade no campo ‘Limite máximo de idade’

    • Important

      This value will only be checked if BorrowerMandatoryField defines the dateofbirth as a required field on the patron record

  • If you charge a membership fee for your patrons (such as those who live in another region) you can enter that in the ‘Enrollment fee’ field.

    • Important

      Only enter numbers and decimals in this field

    • Note

      Depending on your value for the FeeOnChangePatronCategory preference this fee will be charged on patron renewal as well as when they are first enrolled.

  • Se você deseja receber avisos de atraso, define ‘Aviso de Atraso’ para ‘Sim’

  • You can decide on a patron category basis if lost items are shown in the staff client by making a choice from the ‘Lost items in staff client’ pull down

    image153

    • Important

      Note that this is only applicable in the staff client, so changing this value on patron categories who do not have access to the staff client won’t make any difference

  • If you charge patrons for placing holds on items, enter the fee amount in the ‘Hold fee’ field.

    • Important

      Only enter numbers and decimals in this field

  • No campo ‘Tipo de Categoria’ escolha um dos seis principais tipos de pais

    • Important

      This field is required in order to save your patron category. If left blank you will be presented with an error.

      image155

  • A limitação por biblioteca permite que você restrinja uma categoria de usuário a apenas algumas bibliotecas na sua rede de bibliotecas. Selecione ‘Todas as bibliotecas’ se você quiser que todas utilizem esta categoria.

  • You can decide if this patron category is blocked from performing actions in the OPAC if their card is expired using the next option. By default it will follow the rule set in the BlockExpiredPatronOpacActions preference

    image1203

  • Next you can choose the default privacy settings for this patron category. This setting can be edited by the patron via the OPAC if you allow it with the OPACPrivacy system preference.

    image1204

  • Finally you can assign advanced messaging preferences by default to a patron category

    • Important

      Requires that you have EnhancedMessagingPreferences enabled

    • These defaults will be applied to new patrons that are added to the system. They will not edit the preferences of the existing patrons. Also, these can be changed for individual patrons, this setting is just a default to make it easier to set up messages for an entire category.

      • Note

        After setting the default for the patron category you can force those changes to all existing patrons by running the borrowers-force-messaging-defaults script found in the misc/maintenance folder. Ask your system administrator for assistance with this script.

Circulation and Fine Rules

Estas regras definem como seus exemplares são circulados, como/quando multas são calculadas e como são geridas as reservas.

  • Get there: More > Administration > Patrons & Circulation > Circulation and fines rules

As regras são aplicadas do mais específico para o menos específico, utilizando-se o primeiro encontrado na seguinte ordem:

  • mesma biblioteca, mesmo tipo de usuário, mesmo tipo de material
  • mesma biblioteca, mesmo tipo de usuário, todos os tipos de materiais
  • mesma biblioteca, todos os tipos de usuários, mesmo tipo de material
  • mesma biblioteca. todos os tipos de usuários, todos os tipos de materiais
  • padrão (todas as bibliotecas), mesmo tipo de usuário, mesmo tipo de item
  • padrão (todas as bibliotecas), mesmo tipo de usuário, todos os tipos de itens
  • padrão (todas as bibliotecas), todos os tipos de usuários, mesmo tipo de item
  • padrão (todas as bibliotecas), todos os tipos de usuários, todos os tipos de itens

The CircControl and HomeOrHoldingBranch also come in to play when figuring out which circulation rule to follow.

  • Se CircControl está configurado para “a biblioteca que você está logado” nas regras de circulação serão selecionados com base na biblioteca que você está logado

  • Se CircControl é definido como “o patrono da biblioteca é das” regras circ serão selecionados com base na biblioteca do patrono

  • Se CircControl é definido como ” a biblioteca do item é de ” regras circ serão selecionados com base na biblioteca do item onde se escolhe HomeOrHoldingBranch biblioteca casa de item é usado ou biblioteca segurando é usado.

  • If IndependentBranches is set to ‘Prevent’ then the value of HomeOrHoldingBranch is used in figuring out if the item can be checked out. If the item’s home library does not match the logged in library, the item cannot be checked out unless you are a superlibrarian.

    Note

    Dica: Se você tem apenas uma biblioteca no sistema escolha o nome da biblioteca antes de criar as regras (algumas vezes, quando só há regras padrão para ‘todas as bibliotecas’, podem ocorrer erros com as reservas)

    Important

    At the very least you will need to set a default circulation rule. This rule should be set for all item types, all libraries and all patron categories. That will catch all instances that do not match a specific rule. When checking out if you do not have a rule for all libraries, all item types and all patron types then you may see patrons getting blocked from placing holds. You will also want a rule for your specific library set for all item types and all patron types to avoid this holds issue. Koha needs to know what rule to fall back on.

Regras de circulação padrão

Utilizando o quadro de regras você pode fazer combinações de usuários e tipos de material. Para configurar suas regras, escolha a biblioteca na lista de seleção (ou ‘todas as bibliotecas’ se você deseja aplicar estas regras para todas as bibliotecas):

image156

No quadro você pode selecionar qualquer combinação de categoria de usuário e tipo de material aos quais as regras se aplicam

image157

  • Primeiro escolha qual categoria de usuário que você quer que esta regra seja aplicada. Se você optar por ‘Todos’ será aplicado em todas as categorias

  • Choose the ‘Item type’ you would like this rule to apply to. If you leave this to ‘All’ it will apply to all item types

  • Limit the number of items a patron can have checked out at the same time by entering a number in the ‘Current checkouts allowed’ field

  • If you’re allowing OnSiteCheckouts then you may also want to set a limit on the number of items patron’s can have onsite.

  • Define the period of time an item can be checked out to a patron by entering the number of units (days or hours) in the ‘Loan period’ box.

  • Choose which unit of time, Days or Hours, that the loan period and fines will be calculated in in the ‘Unit’ column

  • Você pode definir uma data fixa para categorias específicas de usuários e tipos de materiais. A data fixa ignorará as atuais regras de circulação e será aplicada em todos os materiais que for designada, antes ou depois da data especificada.

  • ‘Fine amount’ should have the amount you would like to charge for overdue items

    • Important

      Digite somente números e pontos decimais (não use simbolos de divisas).

  • Enter the ‘Fine charging interval’ in the unit you set (ex. charge fines every 1 day, or every 2 hours)

  • ‘When to charge’ is most handy in libraries that have a fine charging interval of more than 1 day.

    • Fim do intervalo
      • Given a grace period of 2 days and a fine interval of 7 days, the first fine will appear 7 days after the due date, it will always take one fine interval (7 days), before the first fine is charged
    • Início do intervalo
      • Given a grace period of 2 days and a fine interval of 7 days, the first fine will appear 2 days after the due date and the second fine 7 days after the due date.
  • The ‘Fine grace period’ is the period of time an item can be overdue before you start charging fines.

    • Important

      This can only be set for the Day unit, not in Hours

  • The ‘Overdue fines cap’ is the maximum fine for this patron and item combination

    • Important

      If this field is left blank then Koha will not put a limit on the fines this item will accrue. A maximum fine amount can be set using the MaxFine system preference.

  • If you would like to prevent overcharging patrons for a lost items, you can check the box under ‘Cap fine at replacement price.’ This will prevent the patron’s fines from going above the replacement price on the item.

    • Note

      If the ‘Overdue fines cap’ is also set, the fine will be the lesser of the two, if both apply to the given overdue checkout.

  • If your library ‘fines’ patrons by suspending their account you can enter the number of days their fine should be suspended in the ‘Suspension in days’ field

    • Important

      This can only be set for the Day unit, not in Hours

  • Você pode definir o número máximo de dias que um usuário será suspenso no campo ‘Duração máxima da suspensão’

  • Next decide if the patron can renew this item type and if so, enter how many times they can renew it in the ‘Renewals allowed’ box

  • Se você permitir renovações, poderá controlar quão longo será este período (na unidade de tempo pré-definida) na caixa ‘Período de renovação’

  • If you’re allowing renewals you can control how soon before the due date patrons can renew their materials with the ‘No renewals before’ box.

    • Exemplares podem ser renovados a qualquer tempo se este valor for deixado em branco. De outra forma, exemplares só poderão ser renovados caso tenham data de devolução superior a inserida na caixa (seja em dias ou horas).
    • To control this value on a more granular level please set the NoRenewalBeforePrecision preference.
  • You can enable automatic renewals for certain items/patrons if you’d like. This will renew automatically following your circulation rules unless there is a hold on the item

    • Important

      You will need to enable the automatic renewal cron job for this to work.

    • Important

      This feature needs to have the “no renewal before” column filled in or it will auto renew everyday after the due date

  • If the patron can place holds on this item type, enter the total numbers of items (of this type) that can be put on hold in the ‘Holds allowed’ field

  • Em seguida, você pode decidir se esta combinação patrono / item são autorizados a colocar detém sobre itens que estão na prateleira (ou disponível na biblioteca) ou não. Se você escolher “não”, em seguida, os itens só podem ser colocados em espera se fez check-out

  • You can also decide if patrons are allowed to place item specific holds on the item type in question. The options are:

    • Permitir: Permitirá patronos a opção escolha Avançar disponível ou item específico
    • Não permita : só irá permitir que os clientes para escolher próxima disponível
    • Forçar: Só permitirá que os usuários escolham um item específico
  • Finally, if you charge a rental fee for the item type and want to give a specific patron type a discount on that fee, enter the percentage discount (without the % symbol) in the ‘Rental Discount’ field

When finished, click ‘Add’ to save your changes. To modify a rule, simply click the ‘Edit’ link to the right of the fule and edit the values that appear filled in at the bottom of the form.

image158

If you would like to delete your rule, click the ‘Delete’ link to the right of the rule.

Para economizar tempo, pode clonar regras de uma biblioteca para outra, escolhendo a opção clona acima da tabela de regras.

image159

Depois de escolher você será presenteado com uma mensagem de confirmação.

image160

Default Checkouts and Hold Policy

You can set a default maximum number of checkouts and hold policy that will be used if none is defined below for a particular item type or category. This is the fall back rule for defaults.

image161

From this menu you can set a default to apply to all item types and patrons in the library if no other option is set in the forms below.

  • In ‘Total current checkouts allowed’ enter the total number of items patrons can have checked out at one time

  • In ‘Total current on-site checkouts allowed’ enter the total number of items patrons can have checked out on site at a time (OnSiteCheckouts needs to be set to ‘Enable’)

  • Controla onde os usuários podem reservar usando o menu ‘Política de reserva’

    • De qualquer biblioteca: Usuários de qualquer biblioteca podem reservar exemplares. (padrão se nada estiver definido)
    • Da biblioteca de origem: Apenas usuários da biblioteca de origem do exemplar podem podem fazer reservas.
    • Reservas não permitidas: Nenhum usuário pode reservar este livro.
  • Control if there is a limit to filling a hold based on the item’s library

    • any library

    • item’s home library

    • item’s holding library

    • Note

      The patron’s home library should not affect whether a patron can place the hold, instead the hold will only be fillable when an item matching the pickup location becomes available.

  • Control where the item returns to once it is checked in

    • Item retorna a origem
    • Item retorna a biblioteca
    • Itens extraviados
      • Quando um item for extraviado ele permanece onde foi emprestado e não voltar nunca ‘origem’
  • Uma vez que sua política é definida, você pode desativa-la clicando no link “Desativar” à direita.

Empréstimos por usuário

Para esta biblioteca, você pode especificar o número máximo de empréstimos que um usuário de uma categoria pode efetuar, independentemente do tipo de material.

image162

Note

Se o total de empréstimos para uma categoria de usuário ficar em branco, não será aplicado qualquer limite, exceto se houver um limite definido para um tipo específico de material.

Por exemplo, se você possui uma regra que diz que em uma determinada categoria de usuários são permitidos 10 livros e 5 DVDs, mas você deseja que estes usuários só possam fazer um empréstimo de 12 itens, no total, ao mesmo tempo. Se você digitar 12, no campo ‘Total de empréstimos permitidos’, e este usuário já tem 10 livros emprestados, só serão permitidos 2 DVDs para igualar o total de 12.

Políticas de reserva

For this library, you can edit hold and return policies for a given item type, regardless of the patron’s category.

image163

As várias políticas têm os seguintes efeitos:

  • De qualquer biblioteca: Usuários de qualquer biblioteca podem reservar exemplares. (padrão se nada estiver definido)

  • Da biblioteca de origem: Apenas usuários da biblioteca de origem do exemplar podem podem fazer reservas.

  • Reservas não permitidas: Nenhum usuário pode reservar este livro.

    Important

    Note that if the system preference AllowHoldPolicyOverride set to ‘allow’, these policies can be overridden by your circulation staff.

    Important

    These policies are based on the patron’s home branch, not the branch that the reserving staff member is from.

Control if there is a limit to filling a hold based on the item’s library

  • any library

  • item’s home library

  • item’s holding library

  • Note

    The patron’s home library should not affect whether a patron can place the hold, instead the hold will only be fillable when an item matching the pickup location becomes available.

As várias políticas de devolução têm os seguintes efeitos:

  • Item returns home: The item will prompt the librarian to transfer the item to its home library

    • Important

      If the AutomaticItemReturn preference is set to automatically transfer the items home, then a prompt will not appear

  • Item returns to issuing branch: The item will prompt the librarian to transfer the item back to the library where it was checked out

    • Important

      If the AutomaticItemReturn preference is set to automatically transfer the items home, then a prompt will not appear

  • Itens extraviados: O item não poderá ser transferido de outra ramal se tiver emprestado, enquanto ele não foi devolvido ou transferido manualmente

Por exemplo, você poderá permitir reservas em suas bibliotecas, mas não que os novos itens ou DVDs possam ser reservados por outras bibliotecas, para isso você deve definir a ‘Política de reserva’ para ‘Da biblioteca de origem’, desta forma esses itens só poderão ser reservados se a biblioteca dos itens e biblioteca de origem do usuário forem as mesmas. Você também pode bloquear completamente reservas em itens específicos deste formulário. Está é a forma como você pode configurar se itens extraviados e outros tipos de itens devem permanecer nas suas bibliotecas de origens.

Tipos de atributos de usuários

Patron attributes can be used to define custom fields to associate with your patron records. In order to enable the use of custom fields you need to set the ExtendedPatronAttributes system preference.

  • Get there: More > Administration > Patrons & Circulation > Patron attribute types

Um uso comum para este campo seria para a idenficação do estudante ou para o número da carteira de motorista.

image164

Adicionando atributos de usuários

Para adicionar um novo Tipo de Atributo de Usuário, clique em ‘Novo Tipo de Atributo de Usuário’ na parte superior da página

image165

  • In the ‘Patron attribute type code’, enter a short code to identify this field

    • Important

      Este campo é limitado a 10 caracteres (apenas números e letras)

    • Important

      A configuração não pode ser alterada após um atributo ser definido

  • No campo ‘Descrição’ digite uma descrição mais longa (texto) sobre o que este campo poderá conter

  • Check the box next to ‘Repeatable’ to let a patron record have multiple values of this attribute.

    • Important

      A configuração não pode ser alterada após um atributo ser definido

  • If ‘Unique identifier’ is checked, the attribute will be a unique identifier which means, if a value is given to a patron record, the same value cannot be given to a different record.

    • Unique attributes can be used as match points on the patron import tool

    • Important

      A configuração não pode ser alterada após um atributo ser definido

  • Verifique ‘Permitir senha’ para tornar possível a associação entre a senha e seu atributo.

  • Verifique ‘Exibir no OPAC’ para exibir este atributo na tela de detalhes do usuário no OPAC.

  • Marque ‘Pesquisável’ para tornar este atributo pesquisável na busca de usuários na interface do funcionário.

  • Marque ‘Exibir no empréstimo’ para tornar este atributo visível no resumo do usuário a esquera da página de empréstimo e em outras páginas do usuário

    image166

  • Authorized value category; if one is selected, the patron record input page will only allow values to be chosen from the authorized value list.

    • Você primeiro terá que adicionar uma lista de valores autorizados para que isto apareça no menu

    • Important

      an authorized value list is not enforced during batch patron import.

  • Caso você queria que este atributo esteja disponível apenas para algumas bibliotecas, você poderá selecionar quais delas na lista de ‘Limitação de bibliotecas’. Selecione ‘Todas as bibliotecas’ para a opção estar disponível a todas elas.

    • Important

      Note that items with locations already set on them will not be altered. The branch limitation only limits the choosing of an authorized value based on the home branch of the current staff login. All authorized values for item records (LOC, LOST, CCODE, etc) will show in the OPAC for all patrons.

  • Se você quiser somente exibir este atributo em usuários de um único tipo escolha na ‘Categoria’ no menu

  • If you have a lot of attributes it might be handy to group them so that you can easily find them for editing. If you create an Authorized Value for PA_CLASS it will show in the ‘Class’ pull down and you can then change your attributes page to have sections of attributes

    image167

  • Clique Salvar para salvar seu novo atributo

Quando seu atributo é adicionado, ele aparecerá na lista de atributos e no formulário de Adicionar/Editar usuários

image168

Se você configurar classes para atributos de organização eles irão aparecer desta maneira no formulário de inclusão/edição de usuários

image169

Editando/Excluindo atributos de usuários

Cada atributo de usuário tem um link editar e excluir ao lado da lista de atributos.

Alguns campos no atributo não serão editáveis após criados:

  • Código de tipo de atributo de usuário
  • Repetítivel
  • Identificador único

Você não será capaz de excluir um atributo se ele não estiver em uso.

image170

Limites de transferência entre bibliotecas

Limitar a transferência de exemplares entre bibliotecas com base na biblioteca que envia, biblioteca que recebe e o código da coleção do material.

  • Get there: More > Administration > Patrons & Circulation > Library Transfer Limits

These rules only go into effect if the preference UseBranchTransferLimits is set to ‘enforce’.

Antes de começar, você precisa selecionar a biblioteca para a qual você está definindo os limites de transferência.

image171

Transfer limits are set based on the collections codes you have applied via the Authorized Value administration area.

image172

Collection codes will appear as tabs above the checkboxes:

image173

Check the boxes for the libraries that you accept checkins from for the item type you have selected at the top (in the example below - FIC)

image174

No exemplo acima, a biblioteca de Centerville permitirá que usuários devolvam exemplares de qualquer biblioteca, exceto da Liberty e da Franklin

Transport cost matrix

The Transport cost matrix lets a library system define relative costs to transport books to one another. In order for the system to use this matrix you must first set the UseTransportCostMatrix preference to ‘Use’.

Important

The Transport cost matrix takes precedence in controlling where holds are filled from, if the matrix is not used then Koha checks the StaticHoldsQueueWeight.

Custos são valores decimais entre algum valor máximo arbitrário (ex. 1 ou 100) e 0 que é o menor (ou nenhum) custo. Por exemplo, você pode simplesmente utilizar a distância entre cada biblioteca em quilometros como seu ‘custo’, se isto refletir diretamente no custo de transferência. Às vezes as agências de correio podem ser uma medida mais apropriada. Bibliotecas que compartilham uma agência dos correios poderiam ter um custo 1, agências de correio adjacentes teriam um custo 2 etc.

Para adicionar custos com transporte, clique na célula que você deseja alterar, tire a seleção da caixa ‘Desativar’ e insira seu ‘custo’

image175

Após informar o custo, pressione ‘Enter’ e clique em ‘Salvar’ no final da matriz para salvar suas alterações.

Note

A NULL value will make no difference where the From and To libraries are the same library. However, as a best practice, you should put a 0 in there. For all other To/From combinations, a NULL value will cause that relationship to act as if it has been disabled. So, in summary, don’t leave any of the values empty. It’s best to always put a number in there ( even if you choose to disable that given To/From option ).

Alertas de circulação de itens

As bibliotecas podem decidir se querem que os usuários sejam informados automaticamente sobre a circulação de materiais (devoluções e empréstimos).

  • Get there: More > Administration > Patrons & Circulation > Item Circulation Alerts

Estas preferências são configuradas com base no tipo de usuários e materiais.

Important

These preference can be overridden by changes in the individual patron’s messaging preferences.

Para configurar alertas de circulação:

  • Choose your library from the pull down at the top of the screen

    image176

    • Para configurar preferências para todas as bibliotecas, deixa o menu configurado para ‘Padrão’
  • Por padrão, todos os usuários são notificados sobre empréstimos e devoluções. Para alterar isso, clique no tipo de usuário que você deseja que pare de receber avisos.

    image177

    • In the above example, Juveniles and Kids will not receive check out notices.

Cidades

Para padronizar uma entrada de usuário você pode definir uma lista com as cidades da região, o que permite que novos usuários tenham suas informações de endereço adicionadas sem que o funcionário tenha que digitá-las.

  • Get there: More > Administration > Patrons & Circulation > Cities and Towns

Adicionando uma cidade

To add a new city, click the ‘New City’ button at the top of the page and enter the city name, state, zip/postal code and country.

image178

One you click Submit, your city will be saved and will be listed on the Cities and Towns page

image179

Cidades podem ser editadas ou excluidas em qualquer momento.

Viewing Cities on Patron Add Form

Se você definiu cidades locais utilizando a opção Nova Cidade, quando você adicionar ou editar um registro de usuário, você verá uma lista que tornará a escolha da cidade mais fácil.

image180

Isto irá permitir a inserção de cidades no registro de usuário sem o risco de erros de localização.

Catalog Administration

Set these controls before you start cataloging on your Koha system.

  • Get there: More > Administration > Catalog

Planilhas bibliográficas MARC

Pense nas planilhas como modelos para criar novos registros bibliográficos. O Koha vem com algumas planilha pré-definidas que podem ser editadas ou excluídas e os funcionários podem criar suas próprias planilha para conteúdos específicos de suas bibliotecas.

  • Get there: More > Administration > Catalog > MARC Bibliographic Frameworks

image181

Important

Nunca exclua ou edite a Framework Padrão pois causará problemas com seus registros no catálogo - sempre crie um novo template baseado na Planilha Padrão, ou edite outras planilhas.

Depois de clicar em ‘Estrutura MARC’ à direita de cada planilha você pode definir quantos campos quer visualizar na tela utilizando as opções de paginação no topo da tabela.

image182

Adicionar Novo Framework

Para adicionar uma nova planilha

  • Click ‘New Framework’

    image183

    • Digite um código de 4 ou menos caracteres
    • Use o campo de descrição para inserir uma definição mais detalhada da sua planilha
  • Clique ‘Enviar’

  • Once your Framework is added click ‘MARC structure’ to the right of it on the list of Frameworks

    image184

    • Você poderá escolher uma planilha para se basear para construir uma nova planilha, o que é mais fácil do que começar uma planilha do zero
  • Once your Framework appears on the screen you can edit or delete each field by following the instructions for editing subfields

Editar Frameworks existentes

Clicking ‘Edit’ to the right of a Framework will only allow you to edit the Description for the Framework:

image185

To make edits to the fields associated with the Framework you must first click ‘MARC Structure’ and then follow the instructions for editing subfields

Adicionar subcampos a grades

Para adicionar um campo a planilha, clique em ‘Nova Tag’ na parte superior da tela de definição de planilha

image186

Isto irá exibir um formulário em branco para entrar com os dados do campo MARC

image187

Digite a informação sobre sua nova tag:

  • A ‘Tag’ é o número do campo MARC
  • O ‘Texto para Staff’ é o texto que será exibido na interface administrativa no módulo de catalogação
  • O ‘Texto para OPAC’ é o texto que irá aparecer no OPAC quando for visualizada a versão MARC do registro
  • Se este campo pode ser repetitível, marque a caixa ‘Repetitível’
  • Se este campo é obrigatório, marque a caixa ‘Obrigatório’
  • Se você quiser que este campo tenha uma lista de seleção com as possíveis respostas, escolha uma lista de ‘Valores Autorizados’ que você deseja utilizar

Quando terminar, clique em ‘Salvar Alterações’ e você verá seu novo campo

image188

To the right of the new field is a link to ‘Subfields,’ you will need to add subfields before this tag will appear in your MARC editor. The process of entering the settings for the new subfield is the same as those found in the editing subfields in frameworks section of this manual.

Editar as estruturas de subcampos

Frameworks são compostas por campos e subcampos MARC. Para editar a maioria das planilhas, você precisa alterar os campos e subcampos. Clicando em ‘Editar’, ao lado de cada subcampo permite que você faça alterações no texto associado a cada campo

image189

  • Each field has a tag (which is the MARC tag) that is uneditable
    • The ‘Label for lib’ is what will show in the staff client if you have advancedMARCeditor set to display labels
    • O ‘Texto para OPAC’ é o que será exibido na visualização MARC no OPAC
    • Se você registrar algum campo como ‘Repetitivo’ o campo terá um sinal de mais (+) que permitirá adicionar mais de uma informação no mesmo campo
    • Se você registrar algum campo como ‘Obrigatório’ o registro não será salvo ao menos que você coloque algum valor nele
    • ‘Authorized value’ is where you define an authorized value that your catalogers can choose from a pull down to fill this field in

To edit the subfields associated with the tag, click ‘Subfields’ to the right of the tag on the ‘MARC Structure’ listing

  • Na lista de subcampos você pode clicar em ‘Deletar’ ao lado de cada subcampo para deletá-lo

  • Para editar os subcampos clique em ‘Editar Subcampos’

  • For each subfield you can set the following Basic constraint values

    image190

    • Text for librarian
      • que aparecem antes do subcampo na interface administrativa
    • Text for OPAC
      • que aparecem antes do campo no OPAC.
        • Se ficar em branco, o texto para funcionário será usado no lugar
    • Repetítivel
      • o campo que possui um sinal de + (mais) é repetitivo
    • Obrigatório
      • o registro não poderá ser salvo enquanto esta tag não estiver preenchida
    • Managed in tab
      • defina a aba na qual o subcampo é exibido. Todos os subcampos de um determinado campo devem estar na mesma bada ou ignorados. Ignorado quer dizer que o campo não é utilizado.
  • For each subfield you can set the following Advanced constraint values

    image191

    • Default value

      • define o que você quer que apareça por padrão no campo. Este valor é editável, mas você pode ganhar tempo se utilizar muitas vezes a mesma informação.

      • Note

        If you would like a field to fill in with today’s date you can use the YYYY MM DD syntax in the ‘Default value’. For example: a default of “Year:YYYY Month:MM Day:DD” (without quotes) will print as “Year:2015 Month:11 Day:30”

    • Visibility

      • allows you to select from where this subfield is visible/hidden, simply check the boxes where you would like the field to show and uncheck the boxes where you would like it hidden.

        image192

    • Is a URL

      • if checked, it means that the subfield is a URL and can be clicked
    • Link

      • If you enter a field/subfield here (200b), a link appears after the subfield in the MARC Detail view. This view is present only in the staff client, not the OPAC. If the librarian clicks on the link, a search is done on the database for the field/subfield with the same value. This can be used for 2 main topics :

        • em um campo como autor (200f no UNIMARC, coloque 200f aqui, você poderá ver todos os registros bibliográficos do mesmo autor.
        • em um campo que é um link (4xx) para chegar a outro registro bibliográfico. Por exemplo, coloque 011a em 464$x irá levar aos periódicos com este ISSN.
      • Warning

        This value should not change after data has been added to your catalog. If you need to change this value you must ask your system administrator to run misc/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl.

    • Koha link

      • O Koha aceita diferentes formatos MARC. Assim, ele não reconhece o significado de 245$a ou de 200$f (título em MARC21 e UNIMARC respectivamente). Assim, você pode mapear os subcampos MARC de acordo com a informação contida. O Koha mantém a consistência dessas informações, registrando o elo entre o subcampo e seu significado. Quando o usuário faz uma busca por título, este mapeamento é que permite que ele encontre a informação no campo correto (245 no caso de MARC21 e 200 para UNIMARC).
  • For each subfield you can set the following Other option values

    image193

    • Valores autorizados

      • means the value cannot by typed by the librarian, but must be chosen from a pull down generated by the authorized value list

      • No exemplo acima, o campo 504a exibirá apenas os valores autorizados para MARC504 na catalogação

        image194

    • Thesaurus

      • significa que o valor não é um texto livre, é preciso pesquisá-lo no catálogo de autoridades/tesaurus da categoria
    • Plugin

      • significa que o valor é calculado ou gerenciado por um plugin. Plugins podem fazer quase tudo com as informações.
      • Exemplos:
        • For call numbers there is an option to add a call number browser next to the the call number subfield so that you can identify which call numbers are in use and which are not. Simply choose the cn_browser.pl plugin. Learn more in the cataloging section of this manual.
        • If you’d like to let file uploads via cataloging you can choose the upload.pl plugin and this will allow you to upload files to Koha to link to your records.
        • In UNIMARC there are plugins for every 1xx fields that are coded fields. The plugin is a huge help for cataloger! There are also two plugins (unimarc_plugin_210c and unimarc_plugin_225a that can “magically” find the editor from an ISBN, and the collection list for the editor)

Importar/Exportar Frameworks

Ao lado de cada quadro é um link para importar ou exportar qualquer quadro.

Exportar Framework

Para remover uma tag de um título em específico, simplesmente clique no botão ‘Remover tag’ à direita do título.

image195

Quando você clica em ‘Exportar’ Você será solicitado a escolher o tamanho para exportar o arquivo em.

image196

Um quadro exportado desta forma podem ser importados para qualquer outra instalação Koha usando a opção de quadro de importação.

Importação de Framework

An easy way to create a new framework is to import one created for your or another Koha installation. This framework would need to be exported from the other system using the instructions above to be available for import here.

To import a framework you first need to create a new framework. Once you have that framework, click ‘Import’ to the right of the new framework.

image197

Você será solicitado para encontrar um arquivo que você importar para o seu computador para o quadro.

image198

Você será solicitado a confirmar sua ação antes que o arquivo é importado.

image199

Quando o arquivo for carregado, surgirá uma mensagem de confirmação.

image200

Once your import is complete you will be brought to the framework edit tool where you can make any changes you need to the framework you imported.

Mapeamento Koha para MARC

Enquanto o Koha armazena todo o registro MARC, ele também armazena outros campos que permitem um acesso mais fácil às informações da base de dados. O mapeamento Koha para MARC é utilizado para dizer ao Koha onde encontrar estes valores no registro MARC. Em muitos casos você não precisará alterar os valores padrão configurados na instalação, mas é importante saber que a ferramenta está disponível e que você pode utilizá-la a qualquer momento.

  • Get there: More > Administration > Catalog > Koha to MARC Mapping

A página de Mapeamentos MARC do Koha oferece a opção de escolher uma das três tabelas para definir valores.

image201

Depois de escolher a tabela que deseja visualizar, clique ‘OK’. Para editar qualquer mapeamento, clique no ‘Koha Arquivado’ ou ‘Editar’.

image202

Escolha qual campo MARC você quer mapear para este campo do Koha e clique em ‘OK’. Se você quiser limpar todos os mapeamento, clique em ‘Retirar mapeamento’.

Important

At this time you can map only 1 MARC field to 1 Koha field. This means that you won’t be able to map both the 100a and the 700a to the author field, you need to choose one or the other.

Keywords to MARC Mapping

Esta ferramenta permitirá mapear os campos MARC para um conjunto de palavras-chave predefinidas.

  • Get there: More > Administration > Catalog > Keywords to MARC Mapping

    Important

    This tool only effects sites that are not using the XSLT Stylesheets.

Neste momento a única palavra-chave em uso é ‘subtítulo.’

Usando esta ferrament você pode definir quais campos MARC aparecem na tela de detalhes do registro bibliográfico utilizando palavras-chave. O exemplo a seguir utiliza o campo de subtítulo.

Using the Framework pull down menu, choose the Framework you would like to apply this rule to. For example, the subtitle for books can be found in the 245$b field.

image203

No entanto os subtítulos de DVD aparecem em 245$p

image204

Usando esta ferramenta você pode dizer ao Koha para imprimir o campo certo como o subtítulo ao ver o registro bibliográfico no OPAC.

image205

esta ferramenta pode ser usada para reunir parte do registro. Se você quer que o número da série apareça no título na página de resultados de pesquisa você só tem que mapear o campo 490$v para ‘subtitle’ com o 245$b.

Note

Chain together the fields you want to show after the item title in the order in which you want them to appear.

Futuros desenvolvimentos vão incluir campos atribuídos para palavras-chave adcionais.

Teste do modelo Bibliográfico MARC

Checks the MARC structure.

  • Get there: More > Administration > Catalog > MARC Bibliographic Framework Test

Se você alterar sua planilha bibliográfica MARC, é recomendável executar esta ferramenta para buscar por erros em sua definição.

image206

Tipos de autoridade

Authority Types are basically MARC Frameworks for Authority records and because of that they follow the same editing rules found in the MARC Bibliographic Frameworks section of this manual. Koha comes with many of the necessary Authority frameworks already installed. To learn how to add and edit Authority Types, simply review the Planilhas bibliográficas MARC section of this manual.

  • Get there: More > Administration > Catalog > Authority Types

Classification Sources

Source of classification or shelving scheme is an Authorized Values category that is mapped to field 952$2 and 942$2 in Koha’s MARC Bibliographic frameworks and stored in the items.cn_source field in the database.

  • Get there: More > Administration > Catalog > Classification sources

image207

Valores usados frequentemente neste campo são:

  • cdd - Classificação Decimal de Dewey
  • lcc - Classificação da Library of Congress

Se você optar por instalar fontes de classificação durante a instalação do Koha, você poderá ver outros valores também:

  • ANSCR (gravações de áudio)
  • Classificação SuDOC
  • Classificação Decimal Universal
  • Outra/Classificação genérica

Adding/Editing Classification Sources

Você pode adicionar a sua própria fonte de aquisição utilizando o botão ‘Nova Fonte de Classificação’. Para alterar a fonte, vôcê pode clicar em ‘Editar’.

image208

Quando estiver criando ou editando:

  • Você precisará inserir um código e uma descrição
  • Clique na caixa de seleção ‘Fonte em uso?’ se você deseja que o valor apareça numa lista para esta categoria.
  • Select the appropriate filing rule from the drop down list.

Classificação das regras de alfabetação

Regras de preencimento determinam a ordem em que cada item terá nas estantes.

Os valores pré-configurados no Koha são:

  • Dewey
  • LCC
  • Genérico

Filing rules are mapped to Classification sources. You can setup new filing rules by using the New Filing Rule button. To edit use the Edit link.

Quando estiver criando ou editando:

  • Digite um código e uma descrição
  • Defina uma rotina de preenchimento apropriada - Dewey, genérica ou LCC

Regras de concordância

Regras de correspondência de registros são utilizadas no momento da importação de dados no Koha.

  • Get there: More > Administration > Catalog > Record Matching Rules

The rules that you set up here will be referenced with you Stage MARC Records for Import.

It is important to understand the difference between Match Points and Match Checks before adding new matching rules to Koha.

Match Points are the criteria that you enter that must be met in order for an incoming record to match an existing MARC record in your catalog. You can have multiple match points on an import rule each with its own score. An incoming record will be compared against your existing records (‘one record at a time’) and given a score for each match point. When the total score of the matchpoints matches or exceeds the threshold given for the matching rule, Koha assumes a good match and imports/overlays according your specifications in the import process. An area to watch out for here is the sum of the match points. Doublecheck that the matches you want will add up to a successful match.

Example:

Threshold of 1000

Match Point on 020$a 1000

Match Point on 022$a 1000

Match Point on 245$a 500

Match Point on 100$a 100

In the example above, a match on either the 020$a or the 022$a will result in a successful match. A match on 245$a title and 100$a author (and not on 020$a or 022$a) will only add up to 600 and not be a match. And a match on 020$a and 245$a will result in 1500 and while this is a successful match, the extra 500 point for the 245$a title match are superfluous. The incoming record successfully matched on the 020$a without the need for the 245$a match. However, if you assigned a score of 500 to the 100$a Match Point, a match on 245$a title and 100$a author will be considered a successful match (total of 1000) even if the 020$a is not a match.

Match Checks are not commonly used in import rules. However, they can serve a couple of purposes in matching records. First, match checks can be used as the matching criteria instead of the match points if your indexes are stale and out of date. The match checks go right for the data instead of relying on the data in the indexes. (If you fear your indexes are out of date, a rebuild of your indexes would be a great idea and solve that situation!) The other use for a Match Check is as a ‘double check’ or ‘veto’ of your matching rule. For example, if you have a matching rule as below:

Threshold of 1000

Match Point on 020$a 1000

Match Check on 245$a

Koha will first look at the 020$a tag/subfield to see if the incoming record matches an existing record. If it does, it will then move on to the Match Check and look directly at the 245$a value in the incoming data and compare it to the 245$a in the existing ‘matched’ record in your catalog. If the 245$a matches, Koha continues on as if a match was successful. If the 245$a does not match, then Koha concludes that the two records are not a match after all. The Match Checks can be a really useful tool in confirming true matches.

When looking to create matching rules for your authority records the following indexes will be of use:

Index name Matches Marc Tag
LC-cardnumber 010$a
Personal-name 100$a
Corporate-name-heading 110$a
Meeting-name 111$a
Title-uniform 130$a
Chronological-term 148$a
Subject-topical 150$a
Name-geographic 151$a
Term-genre-form 155$a

Table: Authority Indexes

Adding Matching Rules

To create a new matching rule :

  • Click ‘New Record Matching Rule’

    image209

    • Escolha um nome único e coloque-o no campo ‘Código da regra de correspondência’
    • ‘Descrição’ pode ser qualquer coisa que deixará claro pra você qual regra você estará selecionando
    • ‘Match threshold’ is the total number of ‘points’ a biblio must earn to be considered a ‘match’
    • ‘Record type’ is the type of import this rule will be used for - either authority or bibliographic
    • Ponto de Correspondência são configurados para determinar quais campos utilizar na correspondência
    • ‘Search index’ can be found by looking at the ccl.properties file on your system which tells the zebra indexing what data to search for in the MARC data”. Or you can review the index for standard index names used. Koha Search Indexes
    • ‘Pontuação’ - O número de ‘pontos’ que vale uma correspondência neste campo. Se a soma for maior que o valor necessário para considerar semelhante o registro importado substituirá o existente
    • Digite a tag MARC que quer verificar a coincidência no campo ‘Tag’
    • Digite o tag do subcampo MARC que quer verificar a coincidência do campo ‘Subcampos’
    • ‘Offset’ - Para uso com os campos de controle, 001-009
    • ‘Comprimento’ - Para uso em campos de controle, 001-009
    • O Koha tem apenas uma ‘Regra de Normalização’ que remove caracteres que estão a mais (como vírgulas e ponto e vírgula). O valor que você digitar neste campo é irrelevante para o processo de normalização.
    • ‘Checagem de correspondências exigidas’ - ??

Sample Bibliographic Record Matching Rule: Control Number

image210

  • Limite para correspondências: 100

  • Record type: Bibliographic

    • Note

      If you’d like a rule to match on the 001 in authority records you will need the repeat all of these values and change just the record type to ‘Authority record’

  • Pontos de correspondência (apenas o único):

  • Pesquisar índice: Número de controle

  • Pontuação: 101

  • Tag: 001

    • Note

      este campo é para o número de controle da organização, usando, ou distribuindo o registro

  • Subcampos: a

  • Deslocamento: 0

  • Comprimento: 0

  • Regra de normalização: número de controle

  • Correspondência requerida: nenhuma (remova o branco)

OAI Sets Configuration

Nesta página você pode criar, editar e excluir conjuntos OAI-PMH

Create a set

To create a set:

  • Clique no link ‘Adicionar um novo conjunto’
  • Preencha os campos obrigatórios ‘setSpec’ e ‘setName’
  • Depois, você pode adicionar descrições para este conjunto. Para fazer isso, clique em ‘Adicionar descrição’ e preencha a caixa de texto recém-criado. Você pode adicionar quantas descrições desejar.
  • Clique no botão ‘Salvar’

Modify/Delete a set

Para editar um conjunto, apenas clique no link ‘Editar’ na mesma linha do conjunto que queira editar. O formulário similar a criação do conjunto irá aparece e permitira editar o setSpec e SetName e descrições.

Para excluir um conjunto, clique no link ‘Excluir’ na mesma linha do conjunto que quer excluir.

Define mapeamentos

Aqui você pode definir como um conjunto é construido (quais registros irão pertencer a este conjunto) através da definição de mapeamentos. Mapeamentos são listas de condições no conteudo do registro. Um registro somente precisa coincidir uma condição para pertencer a este conjunto.

  • Preencha os campos ‘Campo’, ‘Subcampo’ e ‘Valor’. Por exemplo se você quer incluir neste conjunto todos os registros que tem 999$9 igual a ‘XXX’. Preencha ‘Campo’ com 999, ‘Subcampo’ com 9 e ‘Valor’ com XXX.
  • Se você quer adicionar outra condição, clique no botão ‘OR’ e repita o passo 1.
  • Clique em ‘Salvar’

Para excluir uma condição, apenas deixe um dos campos ‘Campo’, ‘Subcampo’ ou ‘Valor em branco e ‘Salvar’.

Note

Actually, a condition is true if value in the corresponding subfield is strictly equal to what is defined if ‘Value’. A record having 999$9 = ‘XXX YYY’ will not belong to a set where condition is 999$9 = ‘XXX’.

E é case sensitivo: um registro tem 999$9 = ‘xxx’ não será equivalente a um conjunto que tem a condição 999$9 =’XXX’.

Criar conjuntos

Once you have configured all your sets, you have to build the sets. This is done by calling the script misc/migration_tools/build_oai_sets.pl.

Item search fields

From here you can add custom search fields to the item search option in the staff client.

image1205

To add a new search term simply click the ‘New search field’ button

image1206
  • Name is a field for you to identify the search term
  • Label is what will appear on the item search page
  • MARC field allows you to pick which field you’d like to search in
  • MARC subfield is the subfield you’d like to search in
  • Authorised values category can be used to turn this search field in to a pull down instead of a free text field

Once your new field is added it will be visible at the top of this page and on the item search page

image1207

Aquisições

O módulo de Aquisições do Koha fornece uma forma para os técnicos registrarem encomendas a fornecedores e gerir os orçamentos.

Before using the Acquisitions Module, you will want to make sure that you have completed all of the set up.

  • Get there: More > Administration > Acquisitions

Moedas e taxas de câmbio

Se você fez pedidos a partir de diferentes países, você pode definir as unidades monetárias, assim o módulo de aquisições calculará adequadamente os totais.

  • Get there: More > Administration > Acquisitions > Currencies and Exchange Rates

image212

Note

This data is not automatically updated, so be sure to keep it up to date so that your accounting is kept correct.

O código ISO inserido será utilizado quando houver importação de arquivos MARC através das ferramentas de importação de registros. A ferramenta tentará encontrar e utilizar o preço na moeda corrente.

A unidade monetária ativa é a principal unidade utilizada na sua biblioteca. Sua unidade monetária ativa terá uma seleção na coluna ‘Ativa’. Se você não possui uma unidade monetária ativa você verá uma mensagem de erro pedindo que você defina uma delas como ‘Ativa’.

image213

Orçamentos

Budgets are used for tracking accounting values related to acquisitions. For example you could create a Budget for the current year (ex. 2015) and then break that into Fundos for different areas of the library (ex. Books, Audio, etc).

  • Get there: More > Administration > Acquisitions > Budgets

Na tela principal de administração do orçamento, você verá duas abas: uma para orçamentos ativos, outra para os inativos.

image214

Adding budgets

Budgets can either be created from scratch, by duplicating the previous year’s budget or by closing a previous year’s budget.

Add a new budget

Caso você não tenha utilizado o Koha para aquisições antes, então vpcê precisará começar com um novo orçamento. Para adicionar um novo orçamento clique no botão ‘Novo Orçamento’.

image215

  • Escolher o período de tempo do orçamento, sendo um ano acadêmico, ou fiscal, ou um semestre, etc.
  • A Descrição deve ser algo que ajude a identificar o orçamento durante a pedido
  • Na caixa de montante não use qualquer símbolo, apenas insira o montante do orçamento com números e decimais.
  • Tornar um orçamento ‘Ativo’ torna-o usável quando se realiza encomendas no módulo de aquisições, mesmo que a encomenda seja colocada depois do termino do orçamento, permitindo guardar encomendas antigas.
  • Bloquear um orçamento significa que os Fundos não podem ser modificados pelo técnicos

Assim que terminar a edição, pode carregar no botão ‘Guardar alterações’. Será mostrada a lista os orçamentos existentes.

image216

Duplicate a budget

To duplicate a budget from a previous year, click on the link for the budget name from the list of budgets

image217

Na tela de detalhes do orçamento, clique no botão Editar na parte superior da tela e escolha Duplicar orçamento.

image218

You can also click the ‘Actions’ button to the right of the budget and choose ‘Duplicate’.

image1208

Você será levado a um formulário no qual é preciso inserir a nova data de início e término e salvar o orçamento.

image219

Verifique a caixa ” Marcar o orçamento original como inativo ‘ se o orçamento original não deve mais ser usado.

Marque a caixa para ‘Definir todos os fundos a zero ‘ se quiser que o novo orçamento para conter as mesmas estruturas de fundos como o orçamento anterior mas sem atribuições até que você insira manualmente um montante no fundo.

This will not only duplicate your budget, but all of the funds associated with that budget so that you can reuse budgets and funds from year to year and so that you can move unreceived orders and if desired unspent funds from a previous budget to the new budget.

Fechar um orçamento

Close a budget to move or roll over unreceived orders and if desired unspent funds from a previous budget to a new budget. Before closing your budget you might want to duplicate the previous year’s budget so that you have somewhere for the unreceived orders to roll to.

Find the previous budget with unreceived orders on the Active budgets or the Inactive budgets tab and select ‘Close’ under ‘Actions’.

image1209

Note

In order for the unreceived orders to be automatically moved to the new budget, the fund structures in the previous budget must exist in the new budget. Budgets without unreceived orders cannot be closed.

When you select ‘Close’ you will be presented with a form.

image1210

Use o ‘Select a budget’ desça para baixo para escolher o novo orçamento para as ordens não recebidas.

Marque a caixa de ‘Move restantes fundos não utilizados ‘ para mover os montantes não utilizados de fundos do orçamento que está sendo fechado para o orçamento selecionado.

Once you have made your choices, click the ‘Move unreceived orders’ button. You will be presented with a dialog box that says ‘You have chosen to move all unreceived orders from ‘Budget X’ to ‘Budget Y’. This action cannot be reversed. Do you wish to continue?’ Budget X is the budget to be closed and Budget Y is the selected budget.

image1211

Se tudo parece correto , clique em ‘ OK’ e as ordens unreceived e, se selecionado, os fundos não utilizados serão movidos .

Aguarde até aparecer ‘O relatório de transferência dos pedidos não recebidos do orçamento X para o Y’. Deste modo aparecerá uma lista dos número dos pedidos (agrupados por fundos) que foram impactados e detalhes se o pedido não recebido foi transferido ou se houve algum problema na transferência. Por exemplo, se o novo orçamento não possui um fundo com o mesmo nome do orçamento anterior, o pedido não será transferido de um para outro.

image220

Servidores Z39.50/SRU

Z39.50 is a client/server protocol for searching and retrieving information from remote computer databases, in short it’s a tool used for copy cataloging.

SRU- Search/Retrieve via URL - is a standard XML-based protocol for search queries, utilizing CQL - Contextual Query Language - a standard syntax for representing queries.

Using Koha you can connect to any Z39.50 or SRU target that is publicly available or that you have the log in information to and copy both bibliographic and/or authority records from that source.

  • Get there: More > Administration > Additional Parameters > Z39.50/SRU Servers

Koha comes with a default list of Z39.50/SRU targets set up that you can add to, edit or delete

image232

To find additional Z39.50 targets you use IndexData’s IRSpy: http://irspy.indexdata.com or the Library of Congress’s List of Targets http://www.loc.gov/z3950/

Adicionar um Servidor Z39.50

  • From the main Z39.50 page, click ‘New Z39.50 Server’

    image233

    • O ‘Servidor Z39.50’ pode ser preenchido com um nome que irá ajuda-lo e identificar sua fonte (como o nome da biblioteca, por exemplo).
    • ‘Hostname’ é o endereço do servidor Z39.50..
    • ‘Porta’ indica ao Koha de qual porta ele deve aguardar a chegada de resultados da busca no servidor..
    • ‘Usuário’ e ‘Senha’ são requeridos apenas por servidores protegidos por senha.
    • Check the ‘Preselected’ box if you want this target to always be selected by default.
    • ‘Rank’ lets you enter where in the list you’d like this target to appear.
      • Caso permaneça em branco, os servidores ficarão em ordem alfabética.
    • ‘Syntaxe’ é a estrutura MARC que você utiliza.
    • ‘Encoding’ mostra ao sistema como ler caracteres especiais.
    • ‘Timeout’ pode ser útil para servidores que demoram demais. Você pode definir um tempo máximo de espera, assim o sistema não fica eternamente esperando por resultados.
    • ‘Tipo de registro’ permite definir se o registro é bibliográfico ou de autoridade
    • ‘XSLT file(s)’ lets enter one or more (comma-separated) XSLT file names that you want to apply on the search results.
      • When retrieving records from external targets you may wish to automate some changes to those records. XSLT’s allow you to do this. Koha ships with some sample XSLT files in the /koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/xslt/ directory ready for use:
        • Del952.xsl: Remova os itens (MARC21/NORMARC)

Add a SRU Target

  • From the main Z39.50/SRU page, click ‘New SRU Server’

    image234

    • O ‘Servidor Z39.50’ pode ser preenchido com um nome que irá ajuda-lo a identificar sua fonte (como o nome da biblioteca, por exemplo).

    • ‘Hostname’ é o endereço do servidor Z39.50..

    • ‘Porta’ indica ao Koha de qual porta ele deve aguardar a chegada de resultados da busca no servidor..

    • ‘Usuário’ e ‘Senha’ são requeridos apenas por servidores protegidos por senha.

    • Check the ‘Preselected’ box if you want this target to always be selected by default.

    • ‘Rank’ lets you enter where in the list you’d like this target to appear.

      • Caso permaneça em branco, os servidores ficarão em ordem alfabética.
    • ‘Syntaxe’ é a estrutura MARC que você utiliza.

    • ‘Encoding’ mostra ao sistema como ler caracteres especiais.

    • ‘Timeout’ pode ser útil para servidores que demoram demais. Você pode definir um tempo máximo de espera, assim o sistema não fica eternamente esperando por resultados.

    • ‘Additional SRU options’ is where you can enter additional options of the external server here, like sru_version=1.1 or schema=marc21, etc. Note that these options are server dependent.

    • ‘SRU Search field mapping’ lets you add or update the mapping from the available fields on the Koha search form to the specific server dependent index names.

      • Para refinar ainda mais suas pesquisas, você pode adicionar os seguintes nomes de índice para os mapeamentos de campo de busca SRU. Para fazer isso, edite o servidor e clique no botão Modificar próximo a este campo.

Did you mean?

Get there: More > Administration > Additional Parameters > Did you mean?

Koha can offer ‘Did you mean?’ options on searches based on values in your authorities.

Important

Did you mean? only works in the OPAC at this time. The Intranet options are here for future development.

Usando esta página você pode controlar quais opções o Koha dá aos usuários no resultado de busca.

image235

Habilitando a barra ‘Você quis dizer`nos resultados de pesquisa você precisa marcar quais plugins você deseja usar. Os dois plugins que você pode escolher são:

  • O plugin ExplodedTerms sugere que o usuário tente buscar por termos gerais/específicos/relacionados para uma determinada pesquisa (ex. um usuário pesquisando por “New York (Estado)” pode clicar no link por termos específicos e se ele se interessar por “New York (Cidade)”). Isto só é relevante para bibliotecas com dados de autoridade de hierarquia consolidados.
  • O plugin AuthorityFile busca no arquivo de autoridades e sugere aos usuários os principais registros bibliográficos relacionados as 5 principais autoridades

Se você deseja que um plugin tenha prioridade sobre outro, você precisa simplesmente o arrastar sobre ele.

image236

If you choose both plugins you will see several options at the top of your search results

image237

If you choose just the AuthorityFile you’ll see just authorities.

image238

Alarmes de Áudio

If you have your AudioAlerts preference set to ‘Enable’ you will be able to control the various alert sounds that Koha uses from this area.

  • Get there: More > Administration > Additional Parameters > Audio alerts

Each dialog box in Koha has a CSS class assigned to it that can be used as a selector for a sound.

image1213

You can edit the defaults by clicking the ‘Edit’ button to the right of each alert.

image1214

You can assign alerts to other CSS classes in Koha by entering that information in the selector box. For example if you enter

body:contains('Check in message')

Then when you visit the checkin page you will hear an alert.

Every page in Koha has a unique ID in the body tag which can be used to limit a sound to a specific page

Any ID selector (where HTML contains id=”name_of_id” ) and can also be a trigger as: #name_of_selector
