Catalogación
Ir a: Más > Catalogación
Before you start cataloging in Koha, you need to do some basic setup. Refer to the Implementation checklist for a full list of these things. Most importantly, you need to make sure that your MARC bibliographic frameworks are all defined the way you want. Once in the cataloging module you will not be able to add or remove fields and subfields, so your frameworks must be ready before you start cataloging.
You can also use OCLC cataloging services like WorldShare Record Manager and Connexion to send records directly in to Koha. For more information, see OCLC Cataloging Services.
Registros bibliográficos
In Koha, the bibliographic record contains the main information related to the material. This includes things like the title, author, ISBN, etc. This information is stored in Koha in MARC. By default, the record details page displays in the “Normal” tab and shows the most important details of the record.
Nota
The “Normal” tab of the record details page also shows which MARC bibliographic framework was used to add the record.
Nota
Koha supports MARC21 and UNIMARC.
Once this information is saved, item records can be attached to the bibliographic record.
Adding records
Los registros se pueden agregar catalogando el material original o copian la catalogación de un servidor remoto. Si usted desea catalogar directamente debe usar una hoja de trabajo en blanco
Nota
Staff members must have the edit_catalogue permission (or the superlibrarian permission) in order to be able to add bibliographic records.
To catalog a record using a blank template in the basic editor:
Click “New record”
Nota
The “New record” button will open the default bibliographic framework. If you want to use a different framework, click the small arrow to the right of the “New record” button and choose the framework.
Nota
You can create or modify frameworks in the Administration module.
To catalog a record using a blank template in the advanced editor:
Enable the EnableAdvancedCatalogingEditor system preference
Click the “Advanced editor” button
To catalog a record based on an existing record at another library in the basic or advanced editor:
Nuevo desde Z39.50/SRU
Nota
The “New from Z39.50/SUR” button will import the record into the default bibliographic framework. If you want to use a different framework, click the small arrow to the right of the “New from Z39.50/SRU” button and choose the framework.
Busque el ejemplar que desea catalogar
Nota
Si no se encuentran resultados, trate de buscar menos campos, no todos los servidores Z39.50 pueden buscar en todos los campos del formulario.
Nota
Search targets can be edited by using the Z39.50/SRU servers section of the administration module.
Nota
The display of extra MARC fields and subfields can be configured via the AdditionalFieldsInZ3950ResultSearch system preference.
Clicking the arrow button next to a result (or clicking anywhere on the result line) will give you preview and import options.
Nota
The default option in the button next to a result is the last option used. In the above screenshot, the last option used was “Card preview” so the button is set to open the card preview by default.
Nota
Puede personalizar las columnas de esta tabla en la sección “Configuración de columnas” del módulo de Administración (id de tabla: results).
MARC preview: this option will open the record in plain MARC format.
Card preview: this option will open the record formatted like a card catalog.
Import: this option will open the record in Koha’s cataloging editor so that you can modify and save the record in your own catalog.
If you don’t find the title you need in the Z39.50 search results, you can click the “Try another search” button at the bottom left of your results
Basic editor cataloging
Una vez que haya abierto una hoja de trabajo en blanco o importado un registro a través de Z39.50 se le presentará un formulario para continuar la catalogación
Si prefiere no ver los números de campo MARC, puede cambiar el valor de su preferencia del sistema hide_marc o cada usuario puede marcar la casilla junto a “Mostrar etiquetas” dentro de “Ajustes”.
Para expandir una etiqueta colapsada haga clic en la descripción de la misma
To get help from the Library of Congress on a MARC tag click the question mark (?) to the right of each field number
It is possible to change the source of the MARC documentation using the MARCFieldDocURL system preference
Si usted siente que esto estorba su pantalla, puede ocultar los signos de interrogación desmarcando la casilla que aparece junto a la nota de los “Mostrar vínculos de documentación de etiquetas MARC” en la parte superior derecha del editor
Sometimes fields may not be editable due to the value in your RequireChoosingExistingAuthority system preference. If this preference is set to «require», you will see a lock symbol to the left of the field.
Si aparece este icono debe hacer clic en el icono a la derecha del campo para buscar una autoridad existente.
Desde los resultados haga clic en “Elegir autoridad” para traerla dentro de su registro
Para duplicar un campo haga clic en el icono “repetir esta etiqueta” icono a la derecha de la etiqueta
To move subfields in the right order, drag and drop the subfields using the handles on the right
Nota
You can change the default order of the subfields in the bibliographic framework by dragging and dropping the subfield tabs when editing subfields.
Para duplicar un campo, haga clic en el signo + (más) a la derecha del el campo
Para borrar un subcampo (si hay mas de uno del mismo tipo), haga clic en el signo de menos (-) a la derecha del campo
To use a plugin click on the icon to the right of the field
Algunos campos fijos tienen editores que cambiarán según el tipo de material que está catalogando (por ejemplo, los campos 006 y el 008)
Nota
The “Type of material” in 008 is determined by the value in leader/06.
Una vez que haya terminado, haga clic en el botón «Guardar» en la parte superior y seleccione si desea guardar y ver el registro bib que haya creado o continuar para añadir / editar los elementos agregados al registro
Eligiendo “Guardar y ver registro” lo llevará directamente al registro que usted acaba de catalogar
Eligiendo “Guardar y editar ítems” lo llevará al formulario de agregar/editar ítems después de haber guardo el registro bibliográfico, de ese modo, usted puede ajuntar las existencias
Choosing “Save and continue editing” will allow you to save your work so far and keep you in the editor to continue working
Si está por agregar un registro duplicado el sistema le avisará antes de guardar
Nota
To find possible duplicates, the system searches for the ISBN, and if there is not ISBN, it searches for the same combination of title and author.
If mandatory or important fields or subfields are not filled, the system will give a warning. Click “Go to field” to go to the problematic field and correct it.
If you scrolled down and need to see the warning again, click the “Errors” button at the right of the toolbar.
Nota
Important fields or subfields will not prevent from saving the record.
Only mandatory fields or subfields will block saving.
Advanced editor cataloging
In order to use the advanced cataloging editor, you need to enable the EnableAdvancedCatalogingEditor system preference.
Nota
Staff members must have the advanced_editor permission as well as the edit_catalogue permission (or the superlibrarian permission) in order to be able to use the advanced editor.
Nota
This feature does not currently include any support for UNIMARC fixed fields.
To catalog with the advanced editor, click the “Advanced editor” button from the main cataloging page, or use the switch in the upper right corner of the basic editor screen.
Once you’ve opened a blank framework or imported a record via Z39.50 in the advanced editor, you will be presented with the form to continue cataloging.
Using the search boxes on the left, you can perform Z39.50 searches.
From those Z39.50 results you can view the MARC record by clicking the link to the right
Clicking “Import” will bring the record in to the editor where you can perform your edits.
Nota
Cuando agrega un nuevo campo en el Editor avanzado, necesita presionar guiones bajos para un indicador en blanco, y rodear los indicadores con espacios.
Nota
Necesita dejar un espacio después del primer delimitador de subcampo, pero no después de otro delimitador de un subcampo en el mismo campo.
At the bottom of the editor you will see help from the Library of Congress (or the documentation from MarcFieldDocURL) for the field you are on.
In cases where your MARC is invalid, you will see red highlighting.
The “Keyboard shortcuts” button will inform you of the necessary commands to edit the record using only keyboard functions.
A clipboard is available to copy and paste text between fields. See the table below for the shortcuts used with the clipboard.

Importing records
It is possible to import both bibliographic and authority MARC record files in Koha. The files to import can be either in MARC or MARCXML format.
Importing records into Koha includes two steps.
The first is to stage records for import, which prepares the records, and imports them in the reservoir.
The second step is to import the prepared, or «staged», files from the reservoir into the catalog.
Staging records for import
Nota
Only staff with the stage_marc_import permission (or the superlibrarian permission) will have access to this tool.
Get there: More > Cataloging > Import > Stage records for import
First, find the MARC file on your computer
- Next, you will be presented with options for record matching and item
imports
Pre-fill values with profile: if you already have staging profiles set up, you can choose the appropriate profile from the dropdown list
Profiles are used to pre-fill the rest of the staging settings form.
You can create a profile by choosing the various settings in the sections below and enter a profile name at the end of the form. Next time you stage records, the profile will be available.
Comments about this file: enter comments to identify your upload when going to the “Manage staged records” tool
Record type: choose which type of records are in this file, bibliographic or authority
Character encoding: choose the character encoding of your file
Format: choose the MARC format of your file
Modify record using a MARC modification template: choose if you would like to use a MARC modification template to alter the data you’re about to import
Choose whether or not you want to look for matching records
Record matching rule: choose which rules to use to check your catalog if these records already exist.
Nota
You can set up record matching rules in the administration area
Nota
When using the ISBN matching rule Koha will find only exact matches. If you find that the ISBN match is not working to your satisfaction you can change the AggressiveMatchOnISBN preference to “Do” and then run your import again.
Action if matching record found: choose what to do with matching records if they are found
Replace existing record with incoming record: choose this if you are importing more complete records than the ones you currently have, or if you made some changes using an external tool (MarcEdit for example)
Add incoming record: this will keep the existing record and add the incoming record, so you may end up with duplicates
Ignore incoming record (its items may still be processed): choose this if you do not want to replace existing records
Action if no match is found: choose what to do with records that are unique
Add incoming record: choose this if you wish to import records that are not already in your catalog (new titles for example)
Ignore incoming record: choose this if you don’t want to import records that are not already in your catalog (for example, if you’re only replacing existing records and don’t want to add anything)
Check for embedded item record data?: choose whether or not to import the item data (field 952) found in the MARC records (if the file you’re loading is a bibliographic file)
Always add items: always add items regardless of matching status
Add items only if matching bib was found: this will only add items to existing records in your catalog
Add items only if no matching bib was found: this will only add items to the new records you’re importing, not the ones that already exist
Replace items if a matching bib was found: the match will look at the itemnumbers and barcodes to match on for items and will only replace existing items.
Nota
Itemnumbers take precedence over barcodes
Ignore items: this will not add any items
Save profile: you can choose to save the chosen settings under a profile to use again later
Click “Stage for import”
The record staging will be treated as a background job. A progress bar will let you know how the job is progressing.
Click “View detail of the enqueued job” to see the summary of the staging
You will be presented with a confirmation of your MARC import
Number of records in file
Number of records with MARC errors
Number of records staged
Number of records matching existing records in the catalog
Number of items staged
To complete the process, continue to the Manage staged records tool by clicking on the “View batch” link.
If these records are to be used in acquisitions, you can stop here and add these records to a basket by ordering from a staged file
Managing staged records
Nota
Only staff with the manage_staged_marc permission (or the superlibrarian permission) will have access to this tool.
Get there: More > Cataloging > Import > Manage staged records
Once you have staged your records for import you can complete the import using this tool.
From the list of staged files, click on the file name that you want to finish importing
Note that records that have already been imported will say so under “Status”
Nota
If you’re coming directly from the Stage records for import tool you will not see this list of staged files, you will be taken automatically to the right file summary
A summary of your staged file will appear along with the option to change your matching rules
Below the summary is the option to import the batch of records using a specific framework
Choosing a framework other than “Default” isn’t necessary, but it’s helpful for running reports.
Below the framework selection there will be a list of the records that will be imported
Review your summary before completing your import to make sure that your matching rule worked and that the records appear as you expect them to
Matches will appear with info under the “Match details” column
and when clicking the “View” link under “Diff” you can see the difference between versions.
For each match, you can choose to ignore the match by selecting the “Ignore matches” radio button. If more than one matching record was found, they will all be listed and you can choose with which to match your incoming record.
If “Ignore matches” is selected, the action chosen in “Action if no match is found” from the staging step will be applied.
Nota
Here are the different behaviors depending on the “Action if matching record found” choice from the staging step and if a match is selected or if “Ignore matches” is selected.
Action if matching record found
Match selected
“Ignore matches” selected
Replace existing record with incoming record
Incoming record replaces selected matching record
“Action if no match is found” is applied
Add incoming record
Incoming record is added
Incoming record is added
Ignore incoming record
Incoming record is ignored
“Action if no match is found” is applied
Click “Import this batch into the catalog” to complete the import
The record importation will be treated as a background job.
You will be presented with a confirmation of your MARC import
Number of records added: new records added
Number of records updated: existing records replaced with the incoming ones
Number of records ignored: records that were ignored due to the matching rule
Number of items added: new items added
Number of items replaced: existing items updated with the incoming ones
Number of items ignored because of duplicate barcode: items that were ignored because the barcode already exists in the database
Once your import is complete a link to the new records will appear to the right of each title that was imported
You can undo your import by clicking the “Undo import into catalog” button
Records imported using this tool remain in the “reservoir” until they are cleaned either through the “Clean” button in the Staged MARC record management home page (see below) or through the cleanup_database cronjob. Reservoir records will appear when searching the catalog from the cataloging module
To manually clean items out of the “reservoir”:
Visit the main screen of the manage staged MARC records tool
To clean a batch, click the “Clean” button to the right
You will be presented with a confirmation message
Accept the deletion and the records will be removed from the reservoir and the status will be changed to “cleaned”
Adding analytic records
Las bibliotecas a veces hacen artículos de revistas y artículos dentro de monografías y publicaciones seriadas accesibles a los usuarios de la biblioteca a través de análisis de catalogación. La catalogación analítica crea registros bibliográficos separados para estos artículos, capítulos, secciones, etc encuentra dentro de un recurso más grande, como un libro, un artículo en una revista, un periódico o en serie. En catalogación analítica, aunque un registro bib separado se crea para el título, no está físicamente separado del elemento padre. Más información acerca de Analiticos esta en el Capítulo 13 de las AACR2.
If you would like to catalog analytic records there are two options. One is to use the Easy Analytics function; the other is the Analytics enhanced workflow.
Easy analytics
The easy analytics feature makes linking analytic records together easier. The first thing you need to do is set the EasyAnalyticalRecords preference to “Show” and the UseControlNumber preference to “Don’t use.”
Luego de catalogar su registro analítico (vea Agregar registros para más información sobre la creación de registros) haga clic en “Editar” desde la vista normal y seleccione “Enlace al documento fuente”
Esto le pedirá ingresar el código de barras para el ejemplar al cual debe enlazarse este registro.
Luego de ingresar el código de barras del ejemplar y hacer clic en “Seleccionar” recibirá un mensaje de confirmación.
El registro tendrá ahora el campo 773 completado apropiadamente para completar el enlace.
To view all of the items tied to the host record, do a search for the record, click the “Analytics” tab on the left and the analytics tied to each barcode will be shown under the “Used in” column.
Nota
It is also possible to create analytic records from this screen by clicking on “Create analytics”
You can also see the analytics attached to this record by clicking the “Show analytic” link towards the top of the record in the normal view.
When looking at the analytic record you will also see a link to the host item under the “Host records” column in the holdings table when viewing the “Analytics” tab.
Analytics enhanced workflow
To use the enhanced workflow method of adding analytics, the first thing you need to do is set the EasyAnalyticalRecords preference to “Don’t show” and the UseControlNumber preference to “Use.”
Luego de catalogar su registro original (vea Agregar registros para más información sobre la creación de registros) haga clic en “Nuevo” desde la vista normal y seleccione “Nuevo registro hijo.”
This will open a new blank record for cataloging. The blank record will have the 773 field filled in properly to complete the link once the record is saved.
The “Show analytics” link from the host record will now use the hosts record control number (001) to search for all records on the system of the type “monographic component part” or “serial component part” (Leader position 7) with a 773 subfield w that contains the hosts record control number.
Editing analytics
If you have linked an analytic record incorrectly you can remove that link by editing the analytic record (not the host record).
To do this, go to the analytic record and click the “Edit” button. For UseControlNumber simply edit or remove the corresponding 773.
If using EasyAnalytics choose to “Edit items”; To the left of each item you will see two options.
Clicking “Edit in host” will allow you to edit the item on the host record.
Al hacer clic en “Desconectar” se eliminará el campo 773 y el enlace entre la analítica y la fuente.
Editando registros
Nota
Staff members must have the edit_catalogue permission (or the superlibrarian permission) in order to be able to edit bibliographic records.
To edit a record you can click the “Actions” button and choose “Edit biblio” from the search results on the cataloging search page
o haciendo clic en el botón “Editar” en el registro bibliográfico y eligiendo “Editar registro”
El registro se abrirá en editor de MARC
The alternative is to search via Z39.50 to overlay your record with a fuller record found at another library. You can do this by choosing “Replace record via Z39.50/SRU” from the “Edit” menu.
Once you choose that, you will be brought to a Z39.50 search window to search other libraries for the record in question.
Una vez haya editado (por cualquier método) puede hacer clic en “Guardar” arriba a la izquierda del editor.
Batch record modification
Nota
Only staff with the records_batchmod permission (or the superlibrarian permission) will have access to this tool.
Get there: More > Cataloging > Batch editing > Batch record modification
This tool is used to edit batches of bibliographic and authority records using MARC modification templates. Before visiting this tool you will need to set up at least one MARC modification template.
Record type: choose whether you’re editing bibliographic or authority records
Enter the biblionumbers or authids of records to be edited, in one of three ways
Upload a file of biblionumbers or authids
Use a list;
Or enter the numbers (one per line) in the box provided.
MARC modification template: finally choose the MARC modification template to use to edit these records.
Once you’ve entered your criteria click “Continue”
You will be presented with the list of records that will be edited. Next to each one is a checkbox so you can uncheck any records you would rather not edit at this time.
Clicking “Preview MARC” will allow you to see what edits will be made when you finalize the edit.
Once you’re sure everything is the way you want you can click the “Modify selected records” button and your records will be modified.
MARC modification templates
Nota
Only staff with the marc_modification_templates permission (or the superlibrarian permission) will have access to this tool.
Get there: More > Cataloging > Batch editing > MARC modification templates
The MARC modification templates system gives Koha users the power to make alterations to MARC records automatically while staging MARC records for import or making batch record modifications.
This tool is useful for altering MARC records from various vendors or sources. The system essentially allows one to create a basic script using actions to copy, move, add, update and delete fields.
Click on “New template” (a template can be made up of one or more actions), enter a name and click “Submit”.
Optionally, you can copy an existing template by choosing the template to copy in the “Duplicate a template” drop-down menu.
Next, you can add actions to the template. Click on “New action”.
A “Add a new action” box will appear that you can use to specify what exactly you want to do.
For example if you’re loading in a batch of files from your EBook vendor you might want to add the biblio item type of EBOOK to 942$c.
Choose “Add new”
Enter the field 942 and subfield c
Enter the value of “EBOOK” (or whatever your ebook item type code is)
Provide a description so you can identify this action later
Click “Add action”
Nota
If you wish to update the values in an existing field choose the option “Update existing or add new”. This will update existing values where found and add a new field if one doesn’t exist.
Each action can also have an optional condition to check the value or existence of another field. For example you might want to add the call number to the item record if it’s not already there.
Nota
Editing item fields only works when using the template when staging records. Once records are in Koha, the item is “separated” from the record and can only be edited using the batch item modification tool
Choose “Copy”
Decide if you want to copy the first occurrence or all occurrence of the field
Enter the field 090 (or other bibliographic call number field) and subfield a to copy
Enter the 952 field and o subfield to copy to
Choose “if”
Enter the 952 field and o subfield
Choose «doesn’t exist»
Provide a description so you can identify this action later
Click “Add action”
The move, copy, and copy and replace actions support regular expressions, which can be used to automatically modify field values during the copy or move. An example would be to strip out the “$” character in field 020$c.
Choose “Copy and replace”
Decide if you want to copy the first occurrence or all occurrences of the field
Enter the field 020 and subfield c to copy
Enter the 020 field and c subfield to copy to
Check the “RegEx” box and enter your regular expression (in this case s/\$// )
Choose “if”
Enter the 020 field and c subfield
Choose «matches»
Check the “RegEx” box and enter your regular expression (in this case m/^\$/ )
Provide a description so you can identify this action later
Click “Add action”
Nota
The value for an update can include variables that change each time the template is used. Currently, the system supports two variables, __BRANCHCODE__ which is replaced with the branchcode of the library currently using the template, and __CURRENTDATE__ which is replaced with the current date in ISO format ( YYYY-MM-DD ).
You could also use regular expressions to add your library’s proxy URL in front of links in your MARC record.
Choose “Copy and replace”
Decide if you want to copy the first occurrence or all occurrences of the field
Enter the field 856 and subfield u to copy
Enter the 856 field and u subfield to copy to
Check the “RegEx” box and enter your regular expression (in this case s/^/PROXY_URL/ )
Provide a description so you can identify this action later
Click “Add action”
When choosing between “Copy” and “Copy and replace” keep the following example in mind:
245 _aThe art of computer programming _cDonald E. Knuth.
300 _aA_exists _bB_exists
If we apply action (a) Copy the whole field 245 to 300, we get:
245 _aThe art of computer programming _cDonald E. Knuth.
300 _aA_exists _bB_exists
300 _aThe art of computer programming _cDonald E. Knuth.
If we apply action (b) Copy the subfield 245$a to 300$a, we get:
245 _aThe art of computer programming _cDonald E. Knuth.
300 _aThe art of computer programming _bB_exists
Once your actions are saved you can view them at the top of the screen. Actions can be moved around using the arrows to the left of them.
Actions will be done in the order they appear. Depending on your actions the order may be very important. For example you don’t want to delete a field before you copy it to another field. You can use the arrows to move actions up or down the list
The up arrow will move the action up one position
The up arrow with a line at the top will move the action to the first position
The down arrow with a line at the bottom will move the action to the last position
The down arrow will move the action down one position
Once your template is saved you will be able to pick it when using the Stage MARC records for import tool or when using the batch record modification tool.
Duplicando registros
Sometimes a copy of the record you need to catalog can’t be found via Z39.50. In these cases you can create a duplicate of similar record and edit the necessary pieces to create a new record. To duplicate an existing record click “Edit as new (duplicate)” from the “Edit” menu on the bibliographic record.
Nota
Staff members must have the edit_catalogue permission (or the superlibrarian permission) in order to be able to duplicate bibliographic records.
Esto abrirá un nuevo registro MARC con la campos rellenados con los valores del registro bibliográfico original.
Edit as needed and save.
Nota
This will not change the original record.
Adjuntando archivos a registros
Si usted desea bloquear a un usuario de la biblioteca puede indicarlo con una restricción manual
You will need to ask your system administrator to set the “upload_path” config variable to point to where the files will be stored
You can see if your upload path is set correctly by visiting About Koha > System information. If there is an error you will see it there.
You will want to be sure that your OPACBaseURL system preference is set appropriately
You will want to add the upload.pl plugin to the 856$u subfield in one (or multiple) of your frameworks
Once you are all set up you can continue with cataloging as regular. You will see a plugin icon next to the 856$u that will open up the upload and/or search window
From this menu you can click browse to find a file and attach it, or you can search files you have uploaded previously using the search box. From the search results you can choose which file to attach.
Un vez la fila ha sido escogida, aparecerá como un enlace en el registro MARC y en los destalles mostrados.
Nota
If the file is a PDF, it will be opened directly in the user’s browser whereas if the file is an image or another type of file, the user will be prompted to download it.
Adding cover images
Several free and paying services are integrated with Koha to provide cover images for your catalog, such as Amazon, Baker and Taylor, Google books, NovelList Select, Open Library, and Syndetics. Check the corresponding system preferences to enable the service of your choice.
There are other options such as a Coce image cache server, or having remote cover images with custom URLs.
Advertencia
If you enable more than one service, you will have multiple cover images in your records.
Most of these services use the ISBN of the record to fetch the cover image from the provider.
Finally, you can upload your own images to your records with what is called Local cover images in Koha.
Advertencia
Make sure you are respecting copyright when using images.
Adding a single local cover image
Before adding local cover images, make sure either the OPACLocalCoverImages system preference and/or the LocalCoverImages system preference is set to “Show”.
Nota
Only staff with the upload_local_cover_images permission (or the superlibrarian permission) will be able to manage local cover images.
In a bibliographic record, choose “Upload image” from the edit menu to add your cover image.
Drag and drop the image to the area, or click on “Drop files here or click to select a file” a select the image file on your computer.
Advertencia
Koha does not have a maximum file size limit for this tool, but the web-server (such as Apache) may limit the maximum size of uploads (ask your system administrator).
If the AllowMultipleCovers system preference is set to “Allow”, you will have the choice to replace existing covers or not. If the system preference is set to «Don’t allow», the image will replace existing cover images for this record.
Nota
Where there are multiple images for a record they will display left to right (then top to bottom, depending on screen size) in the order they were uploaded. The image on the left (the first one uploaded) is used as a thumbnail cover in search results and on the details page. There is no way to reorder cover images uploaded in this way, so be sure to upload them in the order you’d like them to appear.
Click “Process images”
Alternatively, you can access the cover image upload tool itself in Cataloging > Tools > Upload local cover image. You will then need to specify the biblionumber of the record for which you are uploading the image.
Nota
The biblionumber or bibliographic record number is not the same as the barcode, it is the system-generated number assigned by Koha to each bibliographic record. You can find the biblionumber in various place, namely:
At the end of the URL in the address bar of your browser when on the record details page. The URL will look something like
In the MARC tab of the record details page in the staff interface
Adding a batch of cover images
Nota
Only staff with the upload_local_cover_images permission (or the superlibrarian permission) will be able to upload batches of local cover images.
The tool to upload cover images also allows batches of images to be uploaded in a ZIP file.
To upload a batch of images:
Create a folder with the images to upload in it
Create a text file (*.txt) named either datalink.txt or idlink.txt listing the biblionumber followed by the image name for each image, one per line. For example:
- ::
506,2gentlemen.jpeg 779,asyoulikeit.jpg 138,selected-poems-oscar-wilde.jpg 41,sonnets.jpg 499,3rdhenry6.jpg 787,macbeth.jpg 102,sonnets2.jpg
Advertencia
Make sure there are no extra lines or characters in the text file.
Create a ZIP file that includes all the images to upload and the text file
In Koha’s staff interface, go to the upload cover image tool in Cataloging > Tools > Upload local cover image, and drag and drop or select the ZIP file from your computer
The file type “ZIP file” should be selected
If the AllowMultipleCovers system preference is set to “Allow”, you will have the choice to replace existing covers or not. If the system preference is set to «Don’t allow», the image will replace existing cover images for this record.
Click “Process images”
You are presented with a summary of the upload
Nota
The source image is used to generate a 140 x 200 px thumbnail image and a 600 x 800 px full-size image. The original sized image uploaded is not kept by Koha.
In the staff interface, the cover images appear in the search results, in the record details page on the right of the title, and in the “Images” tab in the holdings table at the bottom.
In the OPAC, the cover images appear in the search results, in the record details page on the left of the title, and in the “Images” tab in the holdings table at the bottom.
Deleting a local cover image
Nota
Only staff with the upload_local_cover_images permission (or the superlibrarian permission) will be able to delete local cover images.
Click “Delete image” below the image in the “Images” tab in the staff interface.
Combinando registros
Nota
Staff members must have the edit_catalogue permission (or the superlibrarian permission) in order to be able to merge bibliographic records.
To merge bibliographic records together,
Perform a search in the catalog to find the records that need to be merged.
Check the boxes next to the duplicates to select them.
Click «Edit» and choose the «Merge records» option
Nota
Alternatively, you can go through the cataloging module to merge bibliographic records.
After searching for the records in the cataloging search and selecting the records to be merged, click the “Merge selected” button at the top of the list.
Choose which record to keep as the primary record, the other records will be deleted after the merge
Choose which framework to use for the newly merged record
You will be presented with the MARC for all of the records, each accessible by a tab labeled with the biblionumber for this record. By default the entire first record will be selected.
Uncheck the fields you don’t want in the final (destination) record from each source records
Check the fields you want to add in the final (destination) record
Nota
Should you try to add a field that is not repeatable two times (like choosing the 245 field from both records) you will be presented with an error
Nota
If mandatory fields are missing in the destination record, Koha will not merge the records. You must select a value for mandatory fields.
If important fields are missing in the destination record, Koha will warn you, but will still merge the records.
Por debajo de los registros que está combinando existe una opción para ingresar los campos que se mostrarán en el informe. Esto le permitirá controlar qué campos ver en la página de confirmación de la combinación:
Luego de elegir cargar, se le presentará un mensaje de confirmación
If you enter fields you will see those on the confirmation page.
Nota
You can set defaults for this report with the MergeReportFields system preference.
Once you have completed your selections click the “merge” button.
The primary record will now contain the data you chose for it, as well as all of the items and acquisition information from both bibliographic records, and the second record will be deleted.
Merging bibliographic records with lists
Another way to merge together duplicate bibliographic records is to add them to a list and use the merge tool from there.
Go to Lists and click on the list title to view the list
Select the records to be merged
Click the “Merge selected” button at the top of the list
Once you have selected the records to merge together the process is the same as merging via cataloging.

Stock rotation
Get there: More > Cataloging > Automation > Stock rotation
Nota
This tool will only be available if the StockRotation system preference is enabled.
Nota
Only staff with the stockrotation permission or subpermissions (or the superlibrarian permission) will have access to this tool.
Stock rotation helps to spread resources more fairly among library branches and allows patrons to see a wider range of titles.
Items are popular while they are new at a particular branch. However, their use often tails off over time. This tool empowers librarians to automate the movement of items on to another branch before usage declines and thereby extend the items” useful life.
Library staff create rotation plans (rotas) and then assign items to them. A cronjob is then used to cycle these items round the specified libraries on the rotation plan, moving them to the next stage after the prescribed period of time has passed at the current stage.
Nota
For this tool to work as intended, the stockrotation.pl cron job needs to be configured to run on a daily basis.
Email notices may be used to provide the libraries with a list of items on the shelf to be put in transit to the next library. If an item is on loan at the time it should be transferred, an alert will be displayed when it is next returned.
Nota
The notice used is SR_SLIP. It can be customized with the Notices and slips tool.
From the stock rotation page you can add new rotation plans (rotas) and see a summary of your currently configured rotas. For each existing rota, there are buttons to: edit, manage stages and items, activate or deactivate, delete.
Nota
You can customize the columns of this table in the “Table settings” section of the Administration module (table id: stock_rotation).
Creating a new rota
Nota
Only staff with the manage_rotas permission (or the superlibrarian permission) will be able to create new rotas.
To create a new rota (rotation plan), click the “New rota” button on the main stock rotation page.
Name: enter a name or code to identify the rota
Cyclical:
No: items will remain at the last library on the rotation plan upon reaching the end of the rota
Yes: items will continue to rotate, returning back to the first library on the rotation plan once they have completed their allotted time at the last library, indefinitely until manually removed from the rota
Description: optionally add an expanded description of the rota for display in summary views
Once the rota is complete with stages and items, activate it to begin cycling the items through the rotation: on the stock rotation summary, click the “Activate” button next to the rota.
Adding stages to a rota
Nota
Only staff with the manage_rotas permission (or the superlibrarian permission) will be able to add stages to rotas.
Once the rota is created, you can add stages to it. Stages are a length of time that an item will stay at a particular library before moving on.
From the stock rotation summary page, click the “Manage” button and choose the “Stages” option.
Click the “Add stage” button.
Library: choose the library this stage is for
Duration: enter the number of days the item should stay at this library before moving on
Click “Save”.
Once all the stages have been added, you can move them around using the handles on the left to change the order.
Adding items to a rota
Nota
Only staff with the manage_rota_items permission (or the superlibrarian permission) will be able to add items to existing rotas.
Once a rota has stages, items can be added to it.
From the stock rotation summary page, click the “Manage” button and choose the “Items” option.
Click the “Add items” button.
Items can be added to a rota individually (by barcode) or in bulk (via the upload of a line delimited barcode file).
Items can also be added to a rota through the staff interface catalog, in the “Rota” tab on the left when viewing a detailed record.
Choose the rota to add the item to and click “Add to rota”.
Items can also be automatically added to rotas at acquisition time by using the LRP (Library Rotation Plan) field in EDI.
On the Manage > Items page, there will be a summary of all items on the rota with their current location. You have options to immediately progress items, mark items as “in demand” and remove an item from rotation.
Nota
You can customize the columns of this table in the “Table settings” section of the Administration module (table id: stock_rotation_manage_items).
Move to next stage: progress the item directly to the next stage even if the duration at the current stage is not complete.
Add «In demand»: double the duration the item will stay at it’s current stage compared to what is set in the rota. This is often used for items that are found to be unexpectedly popular at a particular library.
Remove from rota: remove the item from the rota.
Individual items can also be managed from the staff interface catalog, in the “Rota” tab.
Creating labels
Nota
Only staff with the label_creator permission (or the superlibrarian permission) will have access to this tool.
Get there: More > Cataloging > Tools > Label creator
The label creator tool allows you to use layouts and templates which you design to print a nearly unlimited variety of labels including barcodes. Here are some of the features of the label creator tool:
Customize label layouts
Design custom label templates for printed labels
Build and manage batches of labels
Export single or multiple batches
Export single or multiple labels from within a batch
Export label data in one of three formats:
PDF - Readable by any standard PDF reader, making labels printable directly on a printer
CSV - Export label data after your chosen layout is applied allowing labels to be imported in to a variety of applications
XML - Included as an alternate export format
Label layouts
Get there: More > Cataloging > Tools > Label creator > Manage > Layouts
A layout is used to define the fields you want to appear on your labels.
Adding a layout
To add a new layout, click on the “New” button at the top of the label creator tool and choose “Layout”.
Using the form that appears, decide what appears on your labels.
“Layout name”: enter a name for the layout to help you identify it later.
“Choose barcode type (encoding)”: if this is a barcode label, choose the encoding (Code 39 is the most common)
“Choose layout type”: choose what type of information is printed on the label.
Only the bibliographic data is printed: only bibliographic information will appear on the label (this can be used for spine labels for example)
Nota
Bibliographic data includes any of the data fields that may be mapped to your MARC frameworks.
Barcode precedes bibliographic data: the barcode will appear at the top of the label and the bibliographic information underneath
Bibliographic data precedes barcode: the bibliographic information will appear at the top of the label and the barcode underneath
Barcode and bibliographic data are printed on alternating labels: the bibliographic information will appear on one label, and the barcode on the next label, alternating for each item
Only the barcode is printed: only the barcode will appear on the label
“Bibliographic data to print”: if you chose to print bibliographic data on the label, choose from the preset list of fields which fields should appear on the label and in which order. Alternatively, you can click on “List fields” and enter your own data.
Nota
In “List fields”, you can specify any database field from the following tables (use the schema viewer (http://schema.koha-community.org) to find the field names):
items
biblioitems
biblio
branches
You can also specify MARC subfields as a 4-character tag-subfield string, for example 254a for the title field in MARC21.
You can also enclose a whitespace-separated list of fields to concatenate on one line in double quotes, for example «099a 099b» or «itemcallnumber barcode».
Finally you can add in static text strings in single-quote, for example “Some static text here.”
“Draw guide boxes”: choose if guidelines are printed around each label (this is useful when first setting up the label creator to check alignment with your label sheets)
“Split call numbers”: choose if call numbers should be split (usually used on spine labels)
Nota
Call number splitting rules are managed under Administration > Classification sources.
“Text justification”: choose the text alignment (left, center or right)
“Font”: choose the font type
Font type choices are currently limited to:
Times-Roman (regular, bold, italic, or bold-italic): a serif font type
Courier (regular, bold, oblique (italic), or bold-oblique (bold-italic)): a monospace font type
Helvetica (regular, bold, oblique (italic), or bold-oblique (bold-italic)): a sans-serif font type
“Font size”: enter the font size in points
“Barcode width”: when printing barcodes, enter the width of the barcode as a fraction of the label width itself. For example, 0.8 means the barcode will take up 80% of the label length-wise.
- “Barcode height”: when printing barcodes, enter the height of the barcode as
a fraction of the label height.
“Oblique title”: choose if the title should be italicized
Click “Save” to save the new layout.
After saving, your layouts will appear under Manage > Layouts.
Editing a layout
To edit an existing layout, click on the “Manage” button at the top of the label creator tool and choose “Layout”.

Change the necessary values and click “Save”.
Deleting a layout
To delete an existing layout, click on the “Manage” button at the top of the label creator tool and choose “Layout”.
In the table of currently available layouts, click the “Delete” button next to the layout you want to delete, and confirm the deletion.
Label templates
Get there: More > Cataloging > Tools > Label creator > Manage > Label templates
A template is based on the label/card stock you are using. This might be Avery 5160 for address labels, Gaylord 47-284 for spine labels or Avery 28371 for your patron cards, just to give a couple of examples. These labels will include all of the information you will need for setting up in Koha. This information may be on the packaging, on the vendor’s website or it can be measured manually.
Adding a template
To add a new template, click on the “New” button at the top of the label creator page and choose “Label template”.
Using the form that appears you can define the template for your sheet of labels or cards.
“Template ID”: this will be automatically generated after saving your template, this is simply a system-generated unique id
“Template code”: enter a code for the template, the code should be something you can use to identify your template on a list of templates
“Template description”: use this field to add additional information about the template
“Units”: choose which measurement scale you’re going to be using for the template. This should probably match the unit of measurement used on the template description provided by the product vendor.
The measurements, number of columns and number of rows can be found on the packaging, on the vendor’s website or they can be measured manually.
Page height: height of the page
Page width: width of the page
Label width: width of the label
Label height: height of the label
Top page margin: height between the top of the page and the top of the first row of labels
Left page margin: width between the left side of the page and the left side of the first column of labels
Top text margin: height between the top of the label and the top of the first line of text
Left text margin: width between the left side of the label and the start of the text
Nota
If you do not supply a left text margin in the template, a 3/16» (13.5 point) left text margin will apply by default.
Number of columns: number of columns of labels in a page, or number of labels per row
Number of rows: number of rows of labels in a page, or number of labels per column
Gap between columns: width between two columns of labels
Gap between rows: height between two rows of labels
A profile is a set of «adjustments» applied to a given template just prior to printing which compensates for anomalies unique and peculiar to a given printer (to which the profile is assigned).
Before picking a profile try printing some sample labels so that you can easily define a profile that is right for your printer/template combination.
After finding any anomalies in the printed document, create a profile and assign it to the template.
Click “Save” to save the new template.
After saving, your templates will appear under Manage > Label templates.
Editing a template
To edit an existing template, click on the “Manage” button at the top of the label creator page and choose “Label template”.
In the table of currently available templates, click the “Edit” button next to the template you want to edit.

Pinter profiles
- Get there: More > Cataloging > Tools > Label creator > Manage >
Printer profiles
A profile is a set of «adjustments» applied to a given template just prior to printing which compensates for anomalies unique and peculiar to a given printer (to which the profile is assigned). This means if you set a template up and then print a sample set of data and find that the items are not all aligned the same on each label, you need to set up a profile for each printer to make up for the differences in printing styles, such as the shifting of text to the left, right, top or bottom.
If your labels are printing just the way you want, you will not need a profile.
Adding a printer profile
To add a new profile, click on the “New” button at the top of the label creator tool and choose “Printer profile”.
Using the form that appears you can create a profile to fix any problems with your template.
“Printer name”: enter a name for the printer. It does not have to match your printer exactly, it is only used for reference within Koha, so you can use the printer model number or you can call it “the printer on my desk”.
“Paper bin”: enter a name for the printer’s paper tray. Like the printer name, it is only used as a reference.
“Template name” will be filled in once you have chosen which template to apply the profile to in the template edit form
“Units”: define what measurement scale you’re using for your profile.
The next sections are used to adjust the label printing.
Offset describes what happens when the entire image is off center either vertically or horizontally
Creep describes a condition where the distance between the labels changes across the page or up and down the page
Nota
For these values, negative numbers move the error up and to the left and positive numbers move the error down and to the right
Example: the text is .25» from the left edge of the first label, .28» from the left edge of the second label and .31» from the left edge of the third label. This means the horizontal creep should be set to .03» to make up for this difference.
Click “Save” to save the new profile.
After saving, your profiles will appear under Manage > Printer profiles.
Once you have saved your new profile, you can return to the list of templates and edit the template that this profile is for.
Editing a printer profile
To edit an existing printer profile, click on the “Manage” button at the top of the label creator page and choose “Printer profiles”.
In the table of currently available printer profiles, click the “Edit” button next to the profile you want to edit.
Change the necessary values and click “Save”.
Deleting a printer profile
To delete an existing printer profile, click on the “Manage” button at the top of the label creator page and choose “Printer profiles”.
In the table of currently available profiles, click the “Delete” button next to the profile you want to delete, and confirm the deletion.
Label batches
Get there: More > Cataloging > Tools > Label creator > Manage > Label batches
Batches are made up of the items for which you would like to print labels. Once in this tool you can search for the item records you would like to print out labels for.
Adding a label batch
Batches can be created in one of two ways. The first is to click the “Create label batch” link on the Staged MARC management page.
The other is to choose to create a new batch from the label creator tool
You will be brought to an empty batch with a box to scan barcodes or itemnumbers in to and an “Add item(s)” button at the bottom of the page.
You can either scan barcodes in to the box provided and click the “Add item(s)” button or you can click the “Add item(s)” button with the barcodes box empty. Clicking “Add item(s)” with nothing in the barcodes box will open a search window for you to find the items you want to add to the batch.
From the search results, click the check box next to the items you want to add to the batch and click the “Add checked” button. You can also add items one by one by clicking the “Add” link to the left of each item.
Once you have added all of the items click the “Done” button. Click again on the “Add item(s)” button to transfer the items from the barcode box to the batch. The resulting page will list the items you have selected.
If some items were added more than once by accident, you can click the “Remove duplicates” button. This will check barcodes and remove any duplicates from the batch.
If you need to remove some items from the batch, select them by checking the box on the right and click the “Remove selected items” button.
Optionally, you can add a description to this batch, in case you need to find it later. Enter a description in the “Batch description” field and click “Save description”. This description will appear in the “Currently available batches” page.
To print your labels, click the “Export full batch” button. To print only some of the labels, select the items and click the “Export selected item(s)” button. To print only one label from the batch, click the “Export” button to the right of that item. Either way you will be presented with a confirmation screen where you can choose your template and layout. If you’re using a sheet of labels that is not complete, you can enter the starting label (labels are counted horizontally).
You will then be presented with three download options: PDF, CSV, or XML.
After saving your file, simply print on the blank labels you have in your library.
The batch is saved for later use, if needed, and is accessible under Manage > Label batches.
Editing a label batch
To edit an existing label batch, click on the “Manage” button at the top of the label creator page and choose “Label batches”.

Save the file and print it on a blank sheet of labels.
Barcode generator
Nota
Only staff with the label_creator permission (or the superlibrarian permission) will have access to this tool.
Get there: More > Cataloging > Tools > Barcode generator
Koha offers a barcode generator tool that can be used to create images of barcodes for various uses (in notices for example).
This tool can be used for a number of types of barcodes, as well as QR codes.
It will create an image from the given barcode in the chosen barcode format and also generate a unique HTML tag which can be used anywhere.
To generate a new image, fill out the form.
Barcode type: choose the barcode type to be used
Nota
Most barcode types allow only numerical characters.
The following allow alphanumeric characters:
Code39
NW7
QRcode
Some barcode types (EAN13, EAN8, UPCA, and UPCE) expect specific patterns (which can be found here https://barcode.tec-it.com/en/ under EAN/UPC).
Hide text: check this box if you only want the actual barcode on the image. If unchecked, the number will be printed in human readable characters under the barcode.
Barcode height: enter the height in pixels the barcode image should have
Barcode: enter the barcode to be printed
Click “Show barcode”.
On the right of the screen is the barcode image, which can be downloaded or printed.
Under the image, there is an HTML “img” tag. You can copy the tag and paste it anywhere you need the barcode to appear (however, note that it is only available in the staff interface).
For a QR Code, the options are slightly different. Instead of “Barcode height”, there is a “QR Code module size” field that can be adjusted by slider. The number refers to the size in pixels of each black or white square in the code (modules). The larger the modules, the larger the image will be.
A QR Code can take not only alphanumeric characters, but any type of textual information, such as a URL or even a short text.
Quick spine label creator
Nota
Only staff with the label_creator permission (or the superlibrarian permission) will have access to this tool.
Get there: More > Cataloging > Tools > Quick spine label creator
Nota
This tool does not use the label layouts or templates, it simply prints a spine label in the first spot on the label sheet, or on a single label from a label printer.
Define the fields you want to print on the spine label in the SpineLabelFormat system preference.
Format your label printing by either editing the spinelabel.css file found in koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/css/ or adding the CSS directly in the IntranetUserCSS system preference.
For example, adding the following CSS code in IntranetUserCSS will alter the label’s font.
/* Modify the Quick Spine Label Creator Font etc */ .tools.labels #spinelabel { font-size:11.5pt; font-family:courier new; font-weight:bold; }
To use this tool you simply need the barcode for the book you’d like to print the spine label for, and click “View spine label”.
From the page that appears, click “Print this label”.
If for some reason you need to change the callnumber, click “Edit this label”. The lock icon on the button will become unlocked, and you will be able to click on the callnumber to edit it.
Autoridades
Los registros de autoridad son una manera de controlar campos en sus registros MARC. El utilizar registros de autoridad le provee control sobre temas, nombres personales y lugares.
Adding authorities
Nota
Only staff with the editauthorities permission (or the superlibrarian permission) will be able to create authority records.
To add a new authority record you can either choose the authority type from the “New authority” button or search another library by clicking the “New from Z39.50” button.
Si elige ingresar una nueva autoridad desde cero, el formulario que aparece le permitirá introducir todos los datos necesarios de su registro de autoridad.
You can also change the authority type of the record in the “Settings” menu above the cataloging form.
Para expandir valores colapsados simplemente haga clic en el título y los subcampos aparecerán. Para duplicar un campo o subcampo solo haga clic en el signo mas (+) a la derecha de la etiqueta. Para utilizar plugins de ayuda de campo haga clic en la elipsis (…) a la derecha del campo.
When linking authorities to other headings, you can use the authority finder plugin by clicking the “Tag editor” button to the right of the field.
Desde allí podrá buscar el archivo de autoridad para enlazar con la autoridad. Si no puede encontrar la autoridad para enlazar, puede hacer clic en el botón “Crear nueva” y agregar la autoridad necesaria para el enlace. Este plugin también le permite seleccionar el enlace de relación entre las autoridades.
You can also import an authority record by clicking on “Z39.50/SRU search” above the cataloging form. The Z39.50/SRU search form will open in a new window.
From the results you can use the “Actions” menu to the right of the record you would like to add to Koha and select “Import” to import it.
You will then be presented with the form to edit the authority before saving it to your system.
Searching authorities
Desde la página de autoridades puede buscar términos existentes y sus registros bibliográficos asociados.
Desde los resultados podrá ver el registro de autoridad, a cuántos registros bibliográficos está asociado y un menú de “Acciones” que incluye la posibilidad de editar, fusionar y borrar (si no hay registros bibliográficos asociados).
Clicking on the “Details” link to the right of the authority record summary will open the full record and the option to edit the record.
If the authority has “See also’s in it you will see those broken out on the search results, clicking the linked headings will run a search for that heading instead.
Editing authorities
Nota
Only staff with the editauthorities permission (or the superlibrarian permission) will be able to edit or delete existing authority records.
Las autoridades pueden editarse haciendo clic en el resumen de la autoridad desde le resultado de búsqueda y haciendo clic en el botón “Editar” encima del registro.
Once you’ve made the necessary edits, simply click “Save”.
Depending on the number of bibliographic records this authority record is linked to, the bibliographic records may be updated right away. This depends on the value in the AuthorityMergeLimit system preference (the default is 50). If the number of bibliographic records is under the value of AuthorityMergeLimit, the bibliographic records will be changed right away. If the number of bibliographic records exceeds the value of AuthorityMergeLimit, they will only be updated when the merge_authorities.pl script is run.
Para eliminar un registro de autoridad primero debe asegurarse de que no está vinculado con registros bibliográficos. Si no es utilizado por registros bibliográficos aparecerá el enlace “Eliminar» a la derecha del registro en los resultados de búsqueda y como un botón que aparece después de hacer clic en el resumen del registro de autoridad.
Merging authorities
Nota
Only staff with the editauthorities permission (or the superlibrarian permission) will be able to merge authority records.
If you have duplicate authority records you can merge them together by clicking the “Merge” link, found in the Actions menu, next to two results on an authority search.
Después de hacer clic en “Combinar” en el primer resultado, usted verá esa autoridad listada en la parte superior de los resultados.
A continuación, necesitará de dar clic en “Combinar” a la par del segundo resultado el cual le gustaría combinar.
Primero se le preguntará cual de los dos registros desea conservar como primario y cual será eliminado luego de la combinación.
Se le presentará la vista MARC de ambos registros (cada uno accesible por pestañas identificadas con el número propio de esos registros). Por defecto el primer registro estará seleccionado, desmarque los campos que no desee en el registro final (destino) y luego muévase a la segunda pestaña y seleccione cuales campos deben ir en el registro final (destino).
Una vez haya completado su selección haga clic en el botón “combinar”. El registro primario contendrá ahora los datos que eligió para el registro, así como, los ítems/existencias de ambos registros, y el segundo registro será eliminado.
If you have two authority records for the same heading in different frameworks, you can merge them together by clicking the ‘Merge’ link, found in the actions menu, next to two results on an authority search. For example, these authority records using different frameworks can be merged.
If you select the “Merge” link, found in the action menu of the top record.
You will see that authority record listed at the top of the results.
Next you need to select ‘Merge’ next to the second result you’d like to merge.
You will be asked which of the two records you would like to keep as your primary record and which will be deleted after the merge. You will also use the dropdown menu to pick which framework to use.
You will be presented with the MARC for both of the records (each accessible by tabs labeled with the authority numbers for those records). By default the entire first record will be selected, uncheck the fields you don’t want in the final (destination) record and then move on to the second tab to choose which fields should be in the final (destination) record.
The «ref» record (the primary record) will be in the framework that you chose:
Once you have completed your selections click the ‘Merge’ button. The primary record will now contain the data you chose for it and the second record will be deleted.
The MARC tag of the linked headings will have been updated accordingly.
Exporting data
Nota
Only staff with the export_catalog permission as well as at least one of the editcatalogue sub-permissions (or the superlibrarian permission) will have access to this tool.
Get there: More > Cataloging > Export > Export catalog data
Koha comes with a tool that will allow you to export your bibliographic, items and authority records in bulk. This can be used to send your records to fellow libraries, organizations or services; or simply for backup purposes.
Exporting bibliographic records
At the top of the screen you need to pick what data you’re exporting. If you’re exporting bibliographic records with or without the item information, click the “Export bibliographic records” tab.
Fill in the form in order to limit which records are exported (all fields are optional)
From biblionumber / To biblionumber: limit the exportation to a range of biblionumbers
Item type: limit to a specific item type, or several item types
Advertencia
This limit will use the item type defined in the item-level_itypes system preference.
If the item-level_itypes system preference is set to “specific item” and there are no items attached to a bibliographic record, that record will not be exported.
To export all bibliographic records of a specific type, the item-level_itypes system preference needs to be set to “bibliographic record”.
With items owned by the following libraries: limit to a specific library or group of libraries
Advertencia
This is a filter; if this is set to the default value (all libraries selected), or select one or more libraries, bibliographic records with no items attached will not be exported.
To get bibliographic records with no items, “clear all” selected libraries (i.e. de-select all libraries).
Call number range: limit to a call number range
Accession date (inclusive): limit to an acquisition date range
Use a file: you can load a file of biblionumbers of the records to be exported. The file type needs to be .csv or .txt
Don’t export items: by default, items will be exported. Check this box to only export bibliographic records
Remove items not owned by selected libraries: check this box to limit the exported items to items from the library you’re logged in as (if the “With items owned by the following libraries” field above is set to “All”) or to the library or libraries selected above
Don’t export fields: enter which fields that should not be exported, separated by spaces. This can be handy if you’re sharing your data, you can remove all local fields before sending your data to another library
File format: choose the file type, MARC or MARCXML
File name: if needed, enter a new file name for the export file
Click “Export bibliographic records”
Exporting authority records
At the top of the screen you need to pick what data you’re exporting. If you’re exporting authority records, click the “Export authority records” tab.
Fill in the form in order to limit which records are exported (all fields are optional)
From authid / To authid: limit the exportation to a range of authids
Authority type: limit the exportation to records of a specific authority type
Use a file: you can load a file of authids of the records to be exported. The file type needs to be .csv or .txt
Next choose fields that you would like to exclude from the export separated by a space (no commas)
Don’t export fields: enter which fields that should not be exported, separated by spaces.

Inventory
Nota
Only staff with the inventory permission (or the superlibrarian permission) will have access to this tool.
Get there: More > Cataloging > Reports > Inventory
Koha’s inventory tool can be used in one of three ways:
By creating a shelf list that you can then mark items off on;
By uploading barcodes gathered by a portable scanner;
By comparing barcodes gathered by a portable scanner or scanned directly to a generated shelf list.
Creating a shelf list
If you do not have the ability to use your barcode scanner on the floor of the library, the option available to you is to generate a shelf list based on criteria you enter. You can then print it to use while walking around the library checking your collection or use it directly in Koha on a portable device.
First, choose the criteria for the items you want to print out on a list. All parameters are optional, but if none are selected, the resulting list might be quite large.
Library: choose the branch you want to check, as well as if that branch is the home library or the current holding library of the items.
Shelving location (items.location) is: you can filter by location.
Item callnumber between … and …: you can also limit the list to a specific range of callnumbers.
Call number classification scheme: if filtering by call number, make sure to choose the correct classification scheme
You can filter even more with item statuses (not for loan status, lost status, withdrawn status or damaged status). Check the boxes next to the statuses you want to include. For example, if you are using the list to shelf read, check only the “for loan” status as the other items probably won’t be on the shelves.
Last inventory date: enter a date here to skip items that have been marked as seen recently.
Skip items on loan: check this box to filter out loaned items from the list.
Skip items on hold awaiting pickup: check this box to filter out items that are awaiting pickup by patrons
Item types: check the boxes next to the item types you want to include in your shelf list
Export to CSV file: check this box to generate a CSV file for altering in an application on your desktop. If this box is unchecked, the list will be presented on the screen.
Click on “Submit” to generate your shelf list.
Once you have found the items on your shelves, return to this list and check the boxes next to the items you found. Next, click on one of the three buttons to continue:
Mark seen and quit: updates the “last seen” date and time of the selected items to now and returns to the previous screen.
Mark seen and continue: updates the “last seen” date and time of the selected items to now and shows the next page of the list.
Continue without marking: doesn’t update any of the items on this page and shows the next page of the list.
Uploading barcodes with a scanner
If you have a portable scanner (or a laptop and USB scanner) you can walk through the library with the scanner in hand and scan barcodes as you come across them (on a laptop, scan the barcodes into a text file or directly into the on screen text box). Once finished you can then upload the text file generated by the scanner to Koha.
Set inventory date to: choose the date you want to mark all items as last seen.
Compare barcodes list to results: uncheck for this method.
Do not check in item scanned during inventory: unless this is checked, Koha will check in items scanned, as it is assumed that they are on the shelf and so not loaned out. If you do not want to check in scanned items, check this option.
Check barcodes list for items shelved out of order: if this option is checked, Koha will compare the call numbers and make sure they are in the correct order.
Click “Submit”. This will update all the items” “last seen” date to the chosen date (time last seen will be 00:00).
Once you have the updated the last seen date for all items scanned during the inventory it is possible to use reports to identify items that were not scanned and can therefore be assumed missing (you can use the batch item modification tool to change the LOST status of these items). There are sample reports you can use on the Koha SQL Reports Library.
Comparing scanned barcodes to a shelf list
Alternatively, you can combine the two methods to automatically compare a list of scanned barcodes with a generated list.
First, upload you barcode file or scan the barcodes in the box.
Set inventory date to: choose the date you want to appear in the items” “last seen” field (the time last seen will be set to 00:00).
Compare barcodes list to results: should automatically be checked.
Do not check in items scanned during inventory: make sure to check this option if you do not want the scanned items to be automatically checked-in if they are checked-out.
Choose the filters (library, shelving location, callnumbers, statuses or item types) to generate a list with which to compare your barcodes. Click on “Submit”.
Nota
Depending on the number of barcodes you are comparing, this may take a few minutes. It is not recommended to compare lists of more than 1000 barcodes as this may cause a session timeout.
Once Koha has finished comparing the barcodes file to the generated list, it will return the number of items updated and a list of problematic items.
Nota
Unlike when creating a shelf list, the list that will be presented here will only contain the items that Koha has determined are problematic.
Missing (not scanned): the item is in the generated list but not in the barcodes file.
Found in wrong place: the item is in the barcodes list, but not in the generated list.
Still checked out: the item is checked out, but is in the generated list. It was not automatically checked in.
No barcode: the barcode doesn’t exist.
Unknown not-for-loan status: the item has “not for loan” status that is not in the NOT_LOAN authorized value category
Item may be shelved out of order: the callnumber is out of order

Koha-specific fields
Koha uses three fields to store information specific to it.
At the record level, 942 (MARC21) or 942 and 099 (UNIMARC) is used to store information such as record-level item type, record-level call number and classification scheme.
The item (holding) information is stored in 952 (MARC21) or 995 (UNIMARC).
System control numbers for Koha are stored in 999 (MARC21) or 001 and 090 (UNIMARC).
Added entry elements (942 / 099)
942$0 / 099$x - Koha issues (borrowed), all copies
MARC21: 942$0
UNIMARC: 099$x
This field contains the total number of issues/checkouts of all items of this record. It is populated using the update_totalissues.pl cronjob.
Mapped to: biblioitems.totalissues
Indexed in: totalissues
Advertencia
This field should not be editable nor edited manually.
942$2 - Source of classification or shelving scheme
MARC21: 942$2
UNIMARC: 942$2
This field contains the source of classification used by the record’s call number (942$h and 942$i (MARC21)).
There is a choice of classification sources as they are defined in administration. If no classification scheme is entered, the system will use the value entered in the DefaultClassificationSource preference.
The source of classification will be used, along with the call number itself (942$h and 942$i (MARC21)) to create the normalized call number used when sorting by call number.
Mapped to: biblioitems.cn_source
Indexed in: cn-bib-source
942$6 - Koha normalized classification for sorting
MARC21: 942$6
UNIMARC: 942$6
This field contains the normalized call number used for sorting, based on the record-level call number (942$h and 942$i (MARC21)) and the classification source (942$2).
Mapped to: biblioitems.cn_sort
Indexed in: cn-bib-sort
Advertencia
This field should not be editable nor edited manually.
942$c - Koha item type
MARC21: 942$c
UNIMARC: 942$c
This field contains the record-level item type.
The record-level item type is used in various places in Koha.
The value from 942$c is copied to 952$y (MARC21) or 995$r (UNIMARC) as the default value when adding a new item to that record
The record-level item type can be used for the circulation rules if the item-level_itypes system preference allows it (this system preference lets you choose between using the record-level or item-level item type for the circulation rules, among other things)
The record-level item type is indexed and used in the search (see also the AdvancedSearchTypes system preference) as well as the facets (this is useful to find records that don’t have items, like records for online resources, ebooks, pdf files, etc.)
The record-level item type is used for record-level/»next available» holds
The record-level item type is used for record-level article requests
The record-level item type is displayed in various tables in the staff interface, in the circulation module among other places (it is possible to hide unwanted columns in the “Table settings” section of the Administration module)
Mapped to: biblioitems.itemtype
Indexed in: itemtype (mc-itemtype), itype (mc-itype)
942$e - Edition
MARC21: 942$e
UNIMARC: N/A
This field contains the edition information.
942$h - Classification part
MARC21: 942$h
UNIMARC: N/A
This field contains classification part of the call number. It is used, along with 942$2 and 942$i (MARC21) to create the normalized call number (942$6) used when sorting by call number.
Mapped to: biblioitems.cn_class
Indexed in: cn-class
942$i - Item part
MARC21: 942$i
UNIMARC: N/A
This field contains item part of the call number. It is used, along with 942$2 and 942$h (MARC21) to create the normalized call number (942$6) used when sorting by call number.
Mapped to: biblioitems.cn_item
Indexed in: cn-item
942$k - Call number prefix
MARC21: 942$k
UNIMARC: N/A
This field contains prefix to the call number.
Mapped to: biblioitems.cn_prefix
Indexed in: cn-prefix
942$m - Call number suffix
MARC21: 942$m
UNIMARC: N/A
This field contains suffix to the call number.
Mapped to: biblioitems.cn_suffix
Indexed in: cn-suffix
942$n / 955$n - Suppress in OPAC
MARC21: 942$n
UNIMARC: 955$n
If the OpacSuppression system preference is set to “hide”, this field indicates if the record should be hidden from the OPAC.
In this field, “1” means the record will be hidden in the OPAC, and “0” (or empty) means the record will be visible in the OPAC.
You can use the YES_NO authorized value category in this field if you don’t want to remember the numerical values.
Indexed in: suppress
942$s / 099$s - Serial record flag
MARC21: 942$s
UNIMARC: 099$s
This field is used by the serials module to indicate whether or not the record is associated with a serial subscription.
Mapped to: biblio.serial
Advertencia
This field should not be editable nor edited manually.
Location and item information (952)
Koha uses field 952 to store item (holding) information in MARC21, and field 995 in UNIMARC.
952$0 / 995$0 - Withdrawn status
MARC21: 952$0
UNIMARC: 995$0
Uses
This field is used to set the withdrawn (weeded) status of the item.
You can use the withdrawn status to weed items without deleting the items.
In the search results, the withdrawn item will be marked as unavailable.
Effects on circulation
A withdrawn item will not be able to be checked out.
A withdrawn item will not be able to be checked in unless the BlockReturnOfWithdrawnItems system preference allows it.
Values
The withdrawn status is numerical, “0” (or empty) means “not withdrawn” and any other number means “withdrawn”.
By default, the field is associated with the WITHDRAWN authorized value category so you don’t have to remember the numerical values. The default values in the WITHDRAWN authorized value category are
1: Withdrawn
Display
Staff interface
Search results (withdrawn items will be marked as unavailable)
Holdings table in the record’s detail page

Holdings table in the record’s detail page
To hide withdrawn items from the OPAC, use the OpacHiddenItems system preference.
Mapped to: items.withdrawn
Indexed in: withdrawn
952$1 / 995$2 - Lost status
MARC21: 952$1
UNIMARC: 995$2
Uses
This field is used to set the lost status of the item.
You can use the lost status to mark items as lost or missing
In the search results, the lost item will be marked as unavailable.
Marking an item lost while it is checked out can charge the replacement cost (952$v (MARC21) or 995$g (UNIMARC)) to the patron (see WhenLostChargeReplacementFee), as well as a processing fee (the processing fee is set at the item type level)

Koha XSLT material type icons
When you have any of the XSLT system preferences (OPACXSLTDetailsDisplay, OPACXSLTResultsDisplay, XSLTDetailsDisplay, and/or XSLTResultsDisplay) along with the DisplayOPACiconsXSLT and DisplayIconsXSLT preferences turned on you will see material type icons on the related screen.
Importante
These images are coming from values found in your leader, if your leader is not cataloged properly it might be best to turn off the DisplayOPACiconsXSLT preference (which can be done while leaving the other XSLT preferences turned on).

Administración de pedidos y reservas
If you tend to import your MARC records when you have ordered the book (as opposed to when you receive the books), and allow patrons to place holds on those books, you may need to add item records to the *.mrc file before importing.
La forma más fácil de importar su último pedido es, ejecutar primero sus registros a través de MARC Edit. Descargue sus registros MARC guardándolos en su escritorio o en alguna otra ubicación que use/recordará. Si ya tiene instalado MARCEdit, debe simplemente hacer doble clic en sus registros MARC, y se abrirán automáticamente en MARCEdit.
Importante
Este tutorial se escribió utilizando la versión 5.2.3769.41641 de MARCEdit en Windows XP, las instrucciones pueden ser diferentes si su versión o sistema operativo son diferentes.
El fichero original se mostrará automáticamente en la entrada; hay que asegurarse de que está marcado el MarcBreaker, después haremos clic en «Ejecutar»
Se mostrará un resumen de los registros procesados en la parte inferior de la pantalla
Haga clic en “Editar registros” para continuar añadiendo ejemplares a los registros
La pantalla se reemplazará con otra pantalla que contiene los registros MARC
Haga clic en Herramientas > Añadir/Editar Campos
Introduzca la información específica de ítem de Koha
En el recuadro de campo, escriba 942
In the Field Data box, type \\$c and the item type code (\\$cBOOK in this example)
Marque la opción “insertar al final” (insert last)
Haga clic en “Añadir Campo” (Add Field)
Introduzca los datos de ejemplar del registro
En el recuadro de Campo (Field), escriba 952
In the Field Data box, type $7ORDERED_STATUS$aPERM_LOC$bCURR_LOC$cSHELVING_LOCATION$eSOURCE_OF_ACQ$yITEM_TYPE
ej. $7-1$aCPL$bCPL$cNEW$eBrodart$yBOOK
En una instalación por defecto de Koha -1 es el valor para el estado Pedido
Puede querer consultar otros subcampos en los que desee datos – por ejemplo, cambiar el código de colección para incluir todos los registros en la misma colección (8), cumplimentar automáticamente la fecha de adquisición (d), o incluir una nota pública (z).
Asegúrese de usar los $ para separar subcampos; si agrega cada subcampo en una línea separada causará que se importen tantos ejemplares como líneas en su registro MARC( en el ejemplo de arriba, cuatro ejemplares, cada uno con uno de esos subcampos corregido)
Asegúrese de mirar Administración > Valores autorizados de Koha para poner el código correcto en el campo
Marque la opción “insertar al final” (insert last)
Haga clic en “Añadir Campo” (Add Field)
Cerrar la ventana de editor del campo
Haga clic en Archivo > Compilar a MARC
Elija dónde desea guardar el archivo
Now you want to go into your Koha system and follow the instructions for importing MARC records.
Una vez que el ítem se ha ingresado, tendrá que ir al registro del ítem y de forma individual cambiar el ítem para que tenga el código de barras correcto, y cambiar manualmente el estado de “Pedido” a “No para préstamo”.
Nota
Si usted compra sus registros ya catalogados, es posible que desee solicitar a su proveedor que ponga la información que necesita en los registros MARC, de esta manera, se puede importar el archivo editado por el vendedor, remplazando el registro actual, y de forma automática se hará una sustitución de los datos con lo que usted necesita.
