    Note This will not prevent those items to appear in search results, it will simply remove the item type from the advanced search form.

    If you want to completely hide items from a certain item type, let’s say that you have a professional library with books reserved for staff and you don’t want those to appear in the OPAC, use the OpacHiddenItems system preference.

  • 不外借的館藏,應點選 『不外借』 選項

    • 標示為 『不外借』 的館藏,仍顯示在目錄裡,但不能外借給讀者

  • For items that you charge a rental fee for, there are several ways that rental fees can be charged to a patron by item type. A flat rental charge (process fee) or a daily/hourly rental charge.

    • For items that a library would charge a flat rental charge (process fee) for, enter the total fee you charge in the ‘Rental charge’ field. This will charge the patron on checkout (and renewal).

    • For items that a rental charge will be charged by the number of days the item is checked out for, enter the daily fee in the 『Daily rental charge』. This will be charged to the patron upon checkout - the cost per day and how many days this item can be checked out to the patron. This daily rental charge will also be applied if/when a renewal occurs.

      • Check the 『Daily rentals use calendar』, to exclude holidays from the the rental fee calculation.

    • For items that are loaned out hourly, enter the cost per hour in 『Hourly rental charge』. Again, the total (hourly cost * number of hours loaned) will be charged to the patron upon checkout and renewal.

      • Check the 『Hourly rentals use calendar』, to exclude holidays from the the rental fee calculation.

    • Each amount will charge the patron on checkout.

      重要

      不要輸入幣別符號,祗有數字與小數 (如 $5.00 應輸入為 5 或 5.00)

  • You can add a default replacement cost for this type of item. This is the amount that will be charged to the patron when lost if the item doesn’t have a replacement cost. If the item has a replacement cost, that is the amount that will be charged to the patron.

    重要

    不要輸入幣別符號,祗有數字與小數 (如 $5.00 應輸入為 5 或 5.00)

    'Checkin message' field in the new item type form

    • The check-in message type can be a 『message』 or an 『alert』. The only difference between these two is the styling. By default a message is blue

      Checkin message 'This is a book' in a blue message box

      and an alert is yellow.

      Checkin message 'This is a book' in a yellow message box

  • Some SIP devices need you to use a SIP-specific media type instead of Koha’s item type (usually lockers and sorters need this media type). If you use a device like this you’ll want to enter the SIP media type.

  • If this item type is only to be used in certain libraries, you can select them here. Select 『All libraries』 if this item type is used across the library system.

    說明

    If this is left blank, 『All libraries』 is assumed.

    說明

    To select more than one library, hold the 『Ctrl』 key while selecting the libraries.

警告

These defaults will only be applied to new patrons that are added to the system. They will not edit the preferences of the existing patrons.

If you need to apply the default preferences to existing patrons, you can force those changes 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 fines rules

These rules define how your items are circulated, how and when fines are calculated and how holds are handled.

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

規則的使用順位是由最特殊至最不特殊,依序取用:

  • same library, same patron category, same item type

  • same library, same patron category, all item types

  • same library, all patron categories, same item type

  • same library, all patron categories, all item types

  • default (all libraries), same patron category, same item type

  • default (all libraries), same patron category, all item types

  • default (all libraries), all patron categories, same item type

  • default (all libraries), all patron categories, all item types

組態流通規則時,CircControlHomeOrHoldingBranch 偏好同時出現。

  • If CircControl is set to 「the library you are logged in at」 circulation rules will be selected based on the library you are logged in at

  • If CircControl is set to 「the library the patron is from」 circulation rules will be selected based on the patron’s library

  • If CircControl is set to 「the library the item is from」 circulation rules will be selected based on the item’s library where HomeOrHoldingBranch chooses if the item’s home library or its holding library is used.

  • 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.

    重要

    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 categories then you may see patrons getting blocked from placing holds.

Defining circulation rules

Using the issuing rules matrix you can define rules that depend on patron category/item type combos. To set your rules, choose a library from the pull down (or 『Standard rules for all libraries』 if you want to apply these rules to all branches):

'Select a library' drop down menu

從矩陣裡,您可選擇讀者類型與館藏類型的組合,以適用於規則

Circulation rules table

  • 首先選擇規則適用的讀者類型。選擇 『全部』 則適用於所有讀者類型

  • 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 for this patron category

    • If an item type has a parent item type, the rule will be displayed as Parent -> Child. The number of current checkouts will be limited to either the maximum for the parent (including sibling types) or the specific type’s rule, whichever is less.

      Circulation rules table with a rule for DVDs for which the maximum is 5 checkouts and a rule for Blu-ray (child of DVD) for which the maximum is 2 checkouts

      In the example above, there is a rule for the DVD item type with a maximum of 5 checkouts and a rule for Blu-ray, a child of DVD, with a maximum of 2 checkouts. A patron at this library will be able to check out a maximum of 2 Blu-rays in a total of 5 items of either DVD or Blu-ray types.

      To summarize, a patron at this library would be able to take either : - 0 Blu-ray and a maximum of 5 DVDs - 1 Blu-ray and a maximum of 4 DVDs - 2 Blu-ray and a maximum of 3 DVDs

  • Add notes about your circulation rule into the notes field. This can be helpful to remember why and when something was last changed.

  • Limit the number of items of this type a patron of this category can have checked out at the same time by entering a number in the 『Current checkouts allowed』 field.

  • If you’re allowing on-site checkouts then you may also want to set a limit on the number of items of this type patrons of this category can have on-site.

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

  • Define if the loan period should include closed days or not in the 『Days mode』 column. The option chosen here will override the useDaysMode system preference for this particular rule.

    • The 『Default』 option will take the option defined in the useDaysMode system preference

    • Choose the 『Calendar』 option if you want to use the calendar to skip the days when the library is closed

    • Choose the 『Datedue』 option if you want to push the due date to the next open day

    • Choose the 『Days』 option if you want to ignore the calendar and calculate the due date directly

    • Choose the 『Dayweek』 option if you want to use the calendar to push the due date to the next open matching weekday for weekly loan periods, or the next open day otherwise

  • Choose which unit of time, days or hours, that the loan period and fines will be calculated in in the 『Unit』 column

  • You can also define a hard due date for a specific patron category and item type. The hard due date offers three options:

    • Exactly on: The due date of any item checked out with this rule will be set to the hard due date.

    • Before: Koha will calculate the normal loan period. If the calculated due date would be after or on the hard due date, the hard due date will be used instead.

    • After: Koha will calculate the normal loan period. If the calculated due date would be before the hard due date, the hard due date will be used instead.

  • 『Fine amount』 should have the amount you would like to charge for overdue items.

    重要

    祗能鍵入數字或小數 (不含幣別符號)。

  • Enter the 『Fine charging interval』 in the unit you set (ex. charge fines every 1 day, or every 2 hours). The finesCalendar system preference controls whether the days the library is closed will be taken into account or not.

  • 『收費時機』 方便收費間隔超過 1 天的圖書館。

    • End of interval: 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.

    • Start of interval: 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. The FinesIncludeGracePeriod system preference controls if the grace period will be included when calculating the fine or not.

    重要

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

  • The 『Overdue fines cap』 is the maximum fine per item for this patron and item type combination.

    重要

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

  • 若想避免對遺失館藏收取過高費用,可以勾選 『重置費用上限』。就不會收取高於購買該館藏的費用。

    說明

    若設定 『逾期罰款上限』,若同時適用於逾期罰款時,系統自動選取金額較低者。

  • 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.

    重要

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

  • 可在 『最長待決期間』 設定讀者的待決日數

  • The 『Suspension charging interval』 option is just like the 『Fin charging interval』. For example, you could 『fine』 a patron one day suspension for every two days overdue.

  • 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.

  • If you’re allowing renewals you can control how long the renewal loan period will be (in the units you have chosen) in the 『Renewal period』 box.

  • 在 『在之前不能續借』 盒裡選擇可以續借的時機。

    • 若此值空白隨時可續借館藏。否則祗能在此盒指定的單位 (日/小時) 內辦理續借手續。

    • 設定 NoRenewalBeforePrecision 偏好後,就能更細緻地控制此值。

  • 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.

    重要

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

    重要

    This feature needs to have the 「no renewal before」 column filled in or it will auto renew every day after the due date.

  • If you are using automatic renewals, you can use the 『No automatic renewals after』 to limit the time a patron can have the item. For example: don’t allow automatic renewals after a checkout period of 80 days.

  • Similar to the hard due date setting, you can also stop automatic renewals after a specific date using the 『No automatic renewal after (hard limit)』 setting.

  • If patrons of this category can place holds on items of this type, enter the total numbers of items (of this type) that can be put on hold in the 『Holds allowed』 field.

    • Leave empty to have unlimited holds.

    • If you’d rather put a hold limit per patron category, independent of the item type, see the default checkout and hold policy by patron category section below.

    • If you want to have a hard hold limit, independent of patron category and item type, for this particular library, see the Default checkout, hold, and return policy section below.

    • If you want to have a hard hold limit, independent of patron category, item type, and across all libraries, see the maxreserves system preference.

  • You can also set a daily limit on the number of holds a patron can place.

  • While the two settings before limit the holds that can be placed across various records, the next setting is used to limit the number of holds that can be placed on one record at the same time. For example, for fiction books you might want to allow only one item to be placed on hold at the same time by the same user. But for serials where items represent different issues more than one hold at the same time is fine.

  • Next you can decide how the availability of items influences the ability to place a hold. The 『On shelf holds allowed』 option has three settings:

    • Yes: This will allow to place holds on items at all times. It doesn’t matter if they are available or checked out.

    • If any unavailable: This will allow to place a hold as soon as one or more items of the record are checked out. It doesn’t matter if there are still one or more items available on the shelf.

    • If all unavailable: This will allow to place a hold as soon as all items on the record are checked out that could fill the hold. This is especially useful for libraries that don’t offer the service of getting items placed on hold off the shelf for patrons.

  • Under 『OPAC item level hold』 you can decide if patrons are allowed to place item specific holds on the item type in question. The options are:

    • Allow: Will allow patrons the option to choose next available or a specific item.

    • Don’t allow: Will only allow patrons to choose next available item.

    • Force: Will only allow patrons to choose a specific item.

  • If you want to allow patrons of this category to be able to place article requests on items of this type, choose an option in the 『Article requests』 column

    • No: patrons of this category will not be able to place article requests on items of this type

    • Yes: patrons of this category will be able to place article requests on items of this type, either on specific items (for example in the case of serial issues) or on entire records (for example in the case of monographs)

    • Record only: patrons of this category will be able to place article requests on records of this type, but not on specific items

    • Item only: patrons of this category will be able to place article requests on items of this type, but not on entire records

    重要

    If you want to use the article request functionality you need to enable it using the ArticleRequests system preference and configure the form using the other related preferences.

  • Finally, if you charge a rental fee for the item type and want to give this specific patron category a discount on that fee, enter the percentage discount (without the % symbol) in the 『Rental discount』 field

When finished, click 『Save』 to save your changes. To modify a rule, simply click the 『Edit』 button either at the beginning or at the end of the row. The row of the rule being edited will be highlighted in yellow and the values will appear filled in at the bottom of the table. Edit the values at the bottom and click save.

Circulation rules table where the rule being edited is highlighted and it is repeated at the bottom for editing

說明

If, while editing a rule, you change either the patron category or the item type, it will create a new rule. You can do this to duplicate rules instead of creating new ones if the values are similar.

Alternatively, you can create a rule with the same patron category and item type and it will edit the existing one, as there can only be one rule per library- patron category-item type combination.

If you would like to delete your rule, click the 『Delete』 button at the beginning or at the end of the rule row.

To save time you can clone rules from one library to another by choosing the clone option above the rules matrix. Please note that this will overwrite all rules already configured for that library.

Drop-down menu 'Clone these rules to' next to the library selection

選定複製對象後,將出現確認訊息。

Confirmation message that says 'The rules have been cloned.'

Default checkout, hold, and return policy

You can set a default maximum number of checkouts, a default maximum number of holds and a 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.

Default checkout and hold policy by patron category

For this library, you can specify the maximum number of checkouts, on-site checkouts and holds that a patron of a given category can have, regardless of the item type.

image162

說明

If the total amount of checkouts, on-site checkout and holds for a given patron category is left blank, no limit applies, except possibly for a limit you define in the circulation rules above.

例如,若讀者可以借出 10 本書與 5 張 DVD 且同時借出的館藏總數不能超過 12。若在這裡鍵入 12 則已借出 10 本書的讀者就祗能再借出 2 張 DVD,總數等於 12。

Default lost item fee refund on return policy

Here, you can specify the default policy for lost item fees on return. This policy will apply to this library. This rule is to be used with the RefundLostOnReturnControl system preference.

You can limit the number of days during which a lost item is refundable using the NoRefundOnLostReturnedItemsAge system preference.

Default holds policy by item type

對此圖書館而言,您可以編輯館藏類型裡的規則使其適用於所有讀者類型。

image163

The various hold policies have the following effects:

  • From any library: Patrons from any library may put this item on hold. (default if none is defined)

  • From local hold group: Only patrons from libraries in the same item’s home library hold groups may put this book on hold.

  • From home library: Only patrons from the item’s home library may put this book on hold.

  • No holds allowed: No patron may put this book on hold.

    重要

    若將 AllowHoldPolicyOverride 系統偏好設為 『允許』,則流通館員可以凌駕此等政策。

    重要

    These policies are applied based on the ReservesControlBranch system preference.

Control where patron can pick up holds using the “Hold Pickup Library Match” menu

  • 館藏還入當初借出的圖書館:提示館員將此館藏還入當初借出的圖書館

    • 重要

      若已把 AutomaticItemReturn 偏好設為自動轉移至所屬圖書館,則不會出現提示

  • 館藏浮動:館藏留在還入的圖書館,不會送至其他地方直到以人工要求或還入其他圖書館

例如想把新增館藏或 DVD 留在本館,就可以設定 『預約政策』 至 『來自所屬圖書館』,祗有館藏所屬圖書館與讀者所屬圖書館相同時,才能被預約。您可完全禁止借出特定館藏。也是讓館藏留在所屬圖書館的浮動館藏設定。

Library transfer limits

根據送出圖書館、接收圖書館與館藏類型,轉移的數量有不同的考量。

  • Get there: More > Administration > Patrons and circulation > Library transfer limits

These rules only go into effect if the preference UseBranchTransferLimits is set to 『enforce』.

開始之前,您將要選擇設定限制的圖書館。

image171

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

image172

位置代碼將顯示在勾選盒之上的分頁:

image173

Check the boxes for the libraries you allow your items to be transferred to for the collection code you have selected at the top (in the example below - FIC)

image174

In the above example, Centerville library will allow patrons from all libraries except Liberty and Franklin to request items from their branch.

轉移成本矩陣

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』.

重要

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

成本是數字,從任意最大值(如1或100)到最小值0。如:可以把圖書館間的距離視為 『成本』。或以郵遞區號為單位。同個郵遞區號的成本為 1,接鄰郵遞區號的成本為 2,餘此類推。

勾選儲存格,解除 『不啟用』 盒,鍵入您的 『成本』,就能變更該轉移成本

image175

鍵入成本,按下鍵盤的 『Enter』 鈕或點選矩陣的 『儲存』 鈕,就能夠儲存您的更新。

說明

來自與送去圖書館一樣時 NULL 值沒有關係。然而,還是應該填入 0。在其他的送去/來自裡,NULL 值就是停用的意思。所以,不要讓任何值空白。最好還是設定一個數值 (即使您選擇停用的送去/來自選項)。

Item circulation alerts

圖書館可決定是否讓讀者自動收到流通事件通知(還入與借出)。

  • Get there: More > Administration > Patrons and circulation > Item circulation alerts

這些偏好以讀者類型與館藏類型為基礎。

Accounting

  • Get there: More > Administration > Accounting

This section deals with the parameters used in managing the patron accounts.

Debit types

  • Get there: More > Administration > Accounting > Debit types

This is where you define the manual fees you can charge patrons.

image1444

When you first get to the page, you will only see the manual fees that are already defined in your system.

You can see the default system fees by clicking 「Show all debit types」.

image1445

You can go back to seeing only the manual fees by clicking 「Filter system debit types」.

System debit types

Several debit types come installed with Koha. Most of them are automatic fees that are added according to the policies you set up elsewhere in Koha.

  • ACCOUNT (Account creation fee): this is charged to the patron’s account upon registration. The fee can be changed in the patron category settings under 『Enrollment fee』.

  • ACCOUNT_RENEW (Account renewal fee): this is charged to the patron’s account when their account is renewed. Like the ACCOUNT debit type above, this can be changed in the patron category settings under 『Enrollment fee』.

  • LOST (Lost item): this is charged to the patron’s account when an item in their file is declared lost. The amount depends on the item’s 『replacement cost』 field or on the item type’s default replacement cost. It can also be added manually in the manual invoices tab.

  • MANUAL (Manual fee): this is the default manual fee installed with Koha. This is not charged automatically by Koha, but can be added to a patron’s account manually in the manual invoices tab.

  • NEW_CARD (New card fee): this is another default manual fee installed with Koha. This will not be charged automatically by Koha, but can be added to a patron’s account manually in the manual invoices tab.

  • OVERDUE (Overdue fine): this is charged automatically to the patron’s account when they have overdue items. The amount for overdue fines are set in the circulation and fines rules.

  • PAYOUT (Payment from library to patron): this is used when the library reimburses the patron (for an over payment for example).

  • PROCESSING (Lost item processing fee): this is charged automatically to the patron’s account when an item in their file is declared lost. The amount is set by item type under 『Processing fee (when lost)』.

  • RENT (Rental fee): this is charged automatically to the patron’s account upon checkout if the item type has a rental charge.

  • RENT_DAILY (Daily rental fee): this is charged automatically to the patron’s account upon checkout if the item type has a daily rental charge.

  • RENT_DAILY_RENEW (Renewal of daily rental item): this is charged automatically to the patron’s account upon renewal if the item type has a daily rental charge.

  • RENT_RENEW (Renewal of rental item): this is charged automatically to the patron’s account upon renewal if the item type has a rental charge.

  • RESERVE (Hold fee): this is charged automatically to the patron’s account upon placing a hold. The amount depends on the 『Hold fee』 amount in the patron’s category settings.

  • RESERVE_EXPIRED (Hold waiting too long): this is charged automatically to the patron’s account if they haven’t picked up their hold after the number of days defined in the ExpireReservesMaxPickUpDelay system preference. The amount is set in the ExpireReservesMaxPickUpDelayCharge system preference.

MARC bibliographic frameworks

Think of frameworks as templates for creating new bibliographic records. Koha comes with some predefined frameworks that can be edited or deleted, and librarians can create their own frameworks for content specific to their libraries.

  • Get there: More > Administration > Catalog > MARC bibliographic frameworks

image181

重要

Do not delete or edit the Default framework since this will cause problems with your cataloging records - always create a new template based on the Default framework, or alter the other frameworks.

Add new framework

新增框架

  • Click 『New framework』

    image183

    • 鍵入4個以內的字元為代碼

    • 在說明欄位鍵入框架的更詳細定義

  • 勾選 『送出』

  • Once your framework is added click Actions then 『MARC structure』 to the right of it on the list of frameworks

    image184

    • You will be asked to choose a framework to base your new framework on, this will make it easier than starting from scratch

  • Once your framework appears on the screen you can edit or delete each field by following the instructions for editing fields and subfields

Edit existing frameworks

Clicking Actions and then 『Edit』 to the right of a framework will only allow you to edit the description for the framework:

image185

Edit framework fields and subfields

Frameworks are made up of MARC fields (tags) and subfields. To make edits to the fields and subfields associated with the framework you must click on 『Actions』 and then 『MARC structure』.

Edit a MARC field (tag)

After clicking on 『MARC structure』 you will be taken to a screen listing all the available tags for that framework and you can search for the tag you need. To make edits to a MARC field click on 『Actions』 on the right of the field then 『Edit tag』.

image189

The next screen shows details of the tag.

  • 每個欄位都有一個不可編輯的欄號 (就是 MARC 欄號)

  • The 『Label for lib』 is what will show in the staff interface if you have advancedMARCeditor set to display labels

  • 此 『OPAC 標籤』 是檢視 MARC 紀錄時,一段顯示在 OPAC 的文字

  • If you check 『Repeatable』 then the field will have an icon next to it allowing you to add multiples of that tag

  • If you check 『Mandatory』 the record cannot be saved unless the field has a value. A 『Required』 flag will display as a prompt

  • If you check 『Important』, the field will generate a warning if it is not filled, but unlike 『Mandatory』, you will still be able to save your record nonetheless

  • If you add default values for indicators here these will be pre-filled to save time when cataloging but can still be edited if required

  • 『Authorized value』 is where you define an authorized value pull down list for your catalogers

    說明

    The authorized value option at field level does not work.

Edit a MARC subfield

To edit the subfields associated with the tag, click 『Actions』 then 『Edit subfields』 to the right of the tag on the framework field list. Each subfield has its own tab which contains three sections - Basic constraints, Advanced constraints and Other options.

  • For each subfield you can set the following basic constraint options

    Subfield editing form

    • Subfield code: this is the MARC subfield code, this wouldn’t normally be changed

    • Text for librarian: what appears before the subfield in the staff interface

    • Text for OPAC: what appears before the field in the OPAC

      • 若左方空白,則以館員的文字取代

    • Repeatable: the field will have an icon next to it allowing you to add multiples of the subfield

    • Mandatory: the record cannot be saved unless you have a value assigned to this subfield. A 『Required』 flag will display as a prompt

    • Important: this indicates that a field is not mandatory, but important. If you try to save a record where an important field is empty, you will get a warning, but the record will still be saved.

    • Managed in tab: defines the tab where the subfield is shown.

      重要

      All subfields of a given field must be in the same tab or ignored. Ignore means that the subfield is not managed.

      重要

      When importing records, subfields that are managed in tab 『ignore』 will be deleted. If you still wish to keep the subfields, but hide them, use the 『Visibility』 options below.

  • For each subfield you can set the following advanced constraint options

    • Default value: defines what you want to appear in the field by default, this will be editable, but it saves time if you use the same text over and over or the same value in a field often.

      說明

      There are several values that you can use here that will be replaced automatically when a new record is created:

      • <<MM>> - the current month, 2 digits

      • <<DD>> - the current day of month, 2 digits

      • <<YYYY>> - the current year, 4 digits

      • <<USER>> - the username of the currently logged in user

      For example: a default of 「<<MM>>/<<DD>>/<<YYYY>>」 (without quotes) will print the current date in the form of 「01/21/2021」

    • 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.

      說明

      The Editor checkbox controls whether this subfield will display within cataloging editor for this framework. If you check Collapsed the subfield will be hidden in the editor but will be displayed if the field label is clicked to expand all subfields

      CLose up of visibility options in the Advanced constraints

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

    • Link: if you enter an index name here, a link appears after the subfield in the MARC detail view in the staff interface. If the librarian clicks on the link, a catalog search is done using the index and the content of the subfield.

    • Koha link: this field is used to create a link between the MARC subfield and a column in the items, biblioitems and biblio database tables. Whenever a record is added or changed, this mapping will be used to update the linked database column. The information from the database columns is used as a way to quickly look up important information without having to parse the full MARC record. It is used for displaying information in a lot of pages and can also be used in reports.

      It is possible to map multiple MARC subfields to the same database column. The first existing mapped subfield will be saved into the database. Usage example: For a MARC21 installaton with both RDA and AACR2 records where some records store the publication data in 260 and others in 264 both fields can be mapped to the database columns for publisher, publication date and publication year.

      The mappings can be changed on this page or from the Koha to MARC mapping page.

      警示

      The Koha links should not be changed after data has been added to your catalog. If you need to change or improve them, you must ask your system administrator to run misc/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl. This will update the values in the database columns for all your records.

  • 每個分欄都可以設定以下的選項

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

      In the example above, the 504a field will show the MARC504 authorized values when cataloging

      Example of a MARC framework where an authorised value was added in 504$a, this creates a drop-down menu in the editor

    • Thesaurus: means that the value is not free text, but must be searched in the authority/thesaurus of the selected category

    • Plugin: means the value is calculated or managed by a plugin. Plugins can do almost anything.

      • 例如:

        • 在索書號分欄旁可新增索書號瀏覽器讓您辨識使用中的索書號。選擇 cn_browser.pl 外掛。詳情見此手冊的 編目區

        • 選擇 upload.pl 允許 上傳連結至記錄的檔案至 Koha 就能經由編目上傳檔案。

        • UNIMARC 的每個 1xx 欄位都有外掛程式可處理其內容。此外掛程式對編目員的工作極有幫助!還有另兩個外掛程式(unimarc_plugin_210c 與 unimarc_plugin_225a 可以 「神奇地」 從ISBN 找到編輯器,供編輯館藏清單之用)

        • If you would like to enable an autocomplete search for publishers in 260b and 264b you can set the plugin to marc21_field_260b.pl. When you start typing in a publisher name you will be given search results based on publisher names already in the catalog.

  • To save your changes simply click the 『Save changes』.

Koha to MARC mapping

While Koha stores the entire MARC record, it also stores common fields for easy access in various tables in the database. Koha to MARC mapping is used to tell Koha where to find these values in the MARC record. In many cases you will not have to change the default values set by in this tool on installation, but it is important to know that the tool is here and can be used at any time.

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

The table shows all the database fields that can be mapped to MARC fields.

  • Check the 『Source in use?』 checkbox if you want the value to appear in the drop-down list for this category.

  • Select the appropriate filing rule from the drop-down list.

  • Select the appropriate splitting rule from the drop-down list.

Classification filing rules

Filing rules determine the order in which items are placed on shelves. Filing rules normalize call numbers in order for Koha to be able to compare them and sort them in the right order.

For example, a Dewey call number such as 『636.8/07 SHAW』 will become 『636_800000000000000_07_SHAW』 in order to be sorted.

The sorted call number is saved in the items.cn_sort or biblioitems.cn_sort fields in the database

  • 選擇適當的排序規則 - 杜威分類法、通用分類法或美國國會圖書館分類法

    • The Dewey filing routine generates a sorted call number by following these rules:

      • Concatenates classification and item parts.

      • Converts to uppercase.

      • Removes any leading or trailing white spaces, and forward slashes (/)

      • Separates alphabetic prefix from the rest of the call number

      • Splits into tokens on white spaces and periods.

      • Leaves first digit group as is.

      • Converts second digit group to 15-digit long group, padded on right with zeroes.

      • Converts each whitespace to an underscore.

      • Removes any remaining non-alphabetical, non-numeric, non-underscore characters.

    • The generic filing routine generates a sorted call number by following these rules:

      • Concatenates classification and item parts.

      • Removes any leading or trailing white spaces.

      • Converts each whitespace to an underscore.

      • Converts to uppercase.

      • Removes non-alphabetical, non-numeric, non-underscore characters.

    • The LCC filing routine generates a sorted call number by following these rules:

Classification splitting rules

Splitting rules determine how call numbers are split when printed on a spine label.

備註

Splitting rules are only used if your label layout specifies to split call numbers.

For example, a Dewey call number such as 『636.8/07 SHAW』 will become

636.807
SHAW

once printed on a spine label.

備註

The code is not editable once it has been created.

  • Enter a description. The description is used in the drop-down list when creating or editing a classification source.

  • Choose an appropriate splitting routine - Dewey, Generic, LCC or RegEx

    • The Dewey splitting routine looks for the three digits and the decimal, puts it on one line with the other parts (Cutter, prefix, etc.) each on a separate line (generally split on spaces).

    • The Generic splitting routine splits on spaces.

    • The LCC splitting routine puts each component on a separate line.

    • The RegEx splitting routine allows you to create a custom splitting routine.

      • Some examples of RegEx splitting routines:

        • Split on spaces:

          s/\s/\n/g
          
        • Split on equal signs (=):

          s/(\s?=)/\n=/g
          
        • Split on forward slashes (/):

          s/(\s?\/)/\n/g
          
        • Remove first split if call number starts with J or K:

          s/^(J|K)\n/$1 /
          
        • Cut after 9 characters:

          s/(^.{9})/$1\n/
          

It is possible to mix and match RegEx splitting routines by clicking the 『New』 link just under the RegEx input box.

For example, if you want to cut after nine characters AND split on spaces, you can write both and the call number 『971.42805092 C669r』 will be split

971.42805
092
C669r

Record matching rules

紀錄匹配規則用於匯入 MARC 紀錄。

  • 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 match points 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. Double check that the matches you want will add up to a successful match.

範例:

閾值 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

在上例裡,020$a 或 022$a 相符就算通過對應。245$a 題名與 100$a 著者 (不是 020$a 或 022$a) 祗得到 600 分不算通過對應。020$a 與 245$a 相符則得到 1500 分算是通過對應,245$a 的 500 分算是額外的分數。祗要對映 020$a 通過就不需要對映 245$a。然而,若設定 100$a 的權值為 500 則 245$a 題名與 100$a 著者同時對映就算成功的對映 (得到 1000 分),即使 020$a 不相符仍視為通過對應。

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:

閾值 1000

Match point on 020$a 1000

Match check on 245$a

Koha 先檢查 020$a 欄號/分欄的內容,匯入紀錄是否對映既有紀錄。若對映,則進入對映檢查,直接查看匯入記錄 245$a 值與原有記錄 245$a 值。若 245$a 對映,Koha 視為 『對映成功』 繼續作業。若 245$a 不符合,則視為對應不成功。把對確認對映的實際有效的工具。

    • 『Score』 - The number of 『points』 a match on this field is worth. If the sum of each score is equal or greater than the match threshold, the incoming record is a match to the existing record.

    • Enter the MARC tag you want to match on in the 『Tag』 field.

    • Enter the MARC tag subfield you want to match on in the 『Subfields』 field. For matching on controlfields like 001 the subfields input field can be left empty.

    • 『Offset』 - 適用於控制欄位 001-009

    • 『長度』 - 係供控制欄位 001-009使用

    • There are currently several options for 『Normalization rules』:

      • None - no normalization rule will be applied

      • Remove spaces

      • Uppercase

      • Lowercase

      • Legacy default - this option was added to maintain the behavior form before the other normalization rules became available.

      • ISBN - using this option will improve matching on ISBN. If your incoming records ISBN fields contain extra text, like 『9780670026623 (alk. paper)』, they will still match correctly.

    • 『Required match checks』 - While match points work on the search index, match checks work directly on the data and can be used as the matching criteria instead of the match points or in addition to them to confirm true matches.

OAI sets configuration

可從此頁新增、修改或刪除OAI-PMH資料集

新增集合

新增資料集:

  • 勾選連結 『新增新的集合』

  • 填入必備欄位 『setSpec』 與 『setName』

  • 可在此加入說明。勾選 『新增說明』 並在文字盒鍵入文字資料。就可對此資料集新增說明。

  • 勾選 『儲存』 鈕』

Modify/delete a set

按下修改那列的 『修改』 連結,就能修改資料集。出現類似新增資料集的表單,允許您修改setSpec、setName 與說明。

從資料集的同一頁,勾選 『刪除』 連結,就能刪除資料集。

設定對映

Here you can define how a set will be build (what records will belong to this set) by defining mappings. Mappings are a list of conditions on record content.

  • 將資料填入 『欄位』、』分欄』 和 『值』 內。若希望把 999$9 內容等於 『XXX』 的記錄納入資料集。則分別填入正確資料 『欄位』 = 999、』分欄』 = 9 和 『值』 = XXX。

  • If you want to add another condition, click on 『Add』 button and repeat step 1. You can choose between 『and』 or 『or』 Boolean operators to link your conditions.

  • 勾選 『儲存』

把 『欄位』、』分欄』 和 『值』 的內容清空並按下 『儲存』 鈕,就是刪除該條件。

說明

實際上,內容必須完全符合對映分欄的 『值』 才是對映的記錄。若紀錄有 999$9 = 『XXX YYY』 並不等於 999$9 = 『XXX』。

且它區分大小寫:紀錄為 999$9 = 『xxx』 將不會屬於 999$9 = 『XXX』。

This section is used to add custom fields to serial subscriptions or order baskets.

To add a new field, first choose which table you want to add it to.

Click on 「Create field」

Fill out the form

Add field form

  • Name: this is the name of the field as you want it to appear.

  • Authorized value category: if you want to add a drop-down menu to the field choose an authorized value category here (you can also create a new authorized value category if you need to).

  • MARC field: for additional subscription fields, it is possible to link the field to a MARC field. The additional field will be automatically populated with the corresponding record’s value for this MARC field.

備註

You can only choose one of the two options (authorized value OR MARC field)

警告

If you choose the MARC field, make sure you enter it in this format: field$subfield

For example: 590$a

  • Searchable: check this box if you want to be able to search baskets or subscriptions based on this field

Example 2: Additional field using MARC field

This is particularly useful if you want to view bibliographic information in the subscription detail page. In this example, we will add the 521$a field, which is, in MARC21, the target audience note.

  • In the 『Name』 field, enter 『Target audience』

  • In the 『MARC field』 field, enter 『521$a』

Add field form, filled with Target audience as the Name, and 521$a as the MARC field

備註

You will not be able to edit this field from the subscription form. If you need to add or change the value in this field, you must go through the cataloging module.

When you view the subscription, the field and the information from the bibliographic record will appear under 『Additional fields』.
