Some Problems in Koha

[Santosh Kumar Kori]

Dear All LIS Members.

I have some problem in koha.

1. We could not found books in Z39.50.

2. We could not make new entry in catalog because in field 100 personal author there are sign that show LOCK, how can unlock 100 field in catalog.

Koha, by default, searches Z39.50 Servers of Library of congress. Try with all available servers. If it doesn't work, please write the steps you are following and where it doesn't work.

Regarding MARC Field 100:

Koha, by default, uses "Authority File" to enter data in field 100, 650 and 700. Click on symbol  next to text box of these fields to use/create authorities.

If you don't want to use authority file and if you prefer to enter free-text values in above fields, you need to modify the attributes of above fields in the "MARK Bibliographic Framework" which is available in Koha Administration.

Best!

Library of Congress Z39.50 server details recently have changed.

You need to change it in Koha,

To disbale the lock in 100$a,

Go to Administration > MARC bibliographic structure >

Select desired framework and find 100.

Then edit authority plugin,

see the link for more details,

All the best

Authorities::

Get there: More > Administration > Global System Preferences > Authorities

BiblioAddsAuthorities :::::

Default: allow

Asks: When editing records, ___ them to automatically create new authority records if needed, rather than having to reference existing authorities.

Values:

allow
This setting allows you to type values in the fields controlled by authorities and then adds a new authority if one does not exist
don't allow
This setting will lock the authority controlled fields, forcing you to search for an authority versus allowing you to type the information in yourself.

I hope this information would be sufficient for you to solve the problem of Locked MARC FIELD in catalog.
