00:45:35 Aida Djikic: My mic also seems to be misbehaving, so I'm gonna write my question: When it comes to authorities preferences, what would you recommend? Should we set AutoLinkBiblios to Do? What about other preferences in the Linker?
00:46:27 Aida Djikic: Just me :)
00:47:19 Aida Djikic: What about when you have a long list of names to import? Yes, that would be great!
00:47:21 Fred King: I'm the cataloging department, tech services department, systems department, and maybe the acquisitions department after one of our colleagues retired last week.

01:35:34 Heather (she/her): Is there a way to add the first three letters of the author's last name to the call number, or concatenate it from the author field and add a new MARC field for it? Or a suggestion on the best way to handle it? I am getting MARC data from open sources and am running it through some programs and could do it that way, but wondered what the best practice is. Add it to the call number, or create a new field for it.
01:38:55 Fred King: See also: dailycartoonist.com. Highlights new collections of comics, Mike Peterson writes a daily illustrated essay under Comic Strip of the Day.
01:39:14 Heather (she/her): Ooooh!

00:23:31 Kelley Minars: I would also like to see how you do things.
00:23:39 Michelle CLAMS Library Network: Reacted to "I would also like to..." with 👍
00:26:57 Michelle CLAMS Library Network: We only put a 999 nothing else
00:27:19 Michelle CLAMS Library Network: we do not need the 942 in the OCLC record
00:27:27 Michelle CLAMS Library Network: it is mandatory on the Koha side
00:31:06 Heather (she/her): I guess the 942 isn't mandatory in our system--apparently we're not using it!:)
00:32:03 Jason: The 942 itemtype is important for record-level holds (so it can follow your circ rules) which is why its mandatory by default but you can disable that in the framework
00:33:22 Heather (she/her): Ah--our users really don't use holds--they tend to just save titles to a cart and email the cart to our Reference Librarian.
00:33:52 Heather (she/her): Bugs: Ability to change aut type while editing record, https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30930
00:35:32 Heather (she/her): Elastic aut record results not ordered correctly due to punctuation marks, https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26472
00:36:34 Fred King: This just in: KohaCon 2024 will be held in Montreal.
00:37:21 Heather (she/her): Oooooh--Montreal!!
00:38:36 Heather (she/her): Exporting labels as a barcode range can cause 500 error, https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=34157
00:39:13 Michelle CLAMS Library Network: Find brief/short/acq records to overlay on OCLC - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PwiPV1qvY7hRojkFwDKAVc7gO8tWMn7Ldm77uc7gTp8/edit?usp=sharing
00:39:31 Heather (she/her): The bug about the search bar changing from "default" with augs, https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=34134
00:40:10 Heather (she/her): Library name doesn't print when printing barcode range, https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=31507
00:40:34 Heather (she/her): Make aut preview look like bib preview, https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=34179

00:57:52 Jason: Self-checkout slowness https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=33109
00:58:16 Eileen Chandler, CLAMS: This is our ticket number 113234.
00:58:48 Michelle CLAMS Library Network: 1. Increased the server cores from 8 to 12 2. Increased the RAM from 20GB to 32GB 3. Upgraded your code to the most recent iteration of 22.11 last evening 4. Increased PLACK workers from 16 to 25
00:59:17 Michelle CLAMS Library Network: The server is currently reporting 32% usage, which points to the fact that ourserver is over proportioned (which is fine and we will leave it that way to besafe)
01:01:59 Jason: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11703
01:03:20 Christie: Response from Bywater on our "slowness" koha ticket: That is very odd. Is there anything else these three libraries have in common,IT infrastructure wise? We show this server running consistently at 98% idle.Directly observing it today shows no particular spikes in activity or loadthat would correlate with user experienced slowness.We'll continue to monitor, please do let us know when you spot these periods.
01:08:27 Michelle CLAMS Library Network: Whatever happened to #mashcat? Didn't Galen lead that years ago?
01:09:57 Fred King: Reminds me of what Nell said in NCIS-LA: "I speak geek. These are my people.
01:10:05 Lauren Denny: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Mashcat/
01:10:16 Lauren Denny: found that on google

00:34:03 Heather Hernandez (she/her): Koha-US System Administration Group might be helpful--next meeting is April 11, https://koha-us.org/calendar/
00:38:31 Michelle, CLAMS Library Network: That's a lot of work!
00:39:30 Heather Hernandez (she/her): That's what we do, too--we use the "Gateway" for bib records, exporting directly from Connexion Client into Koha.
00:45:31 Heather Hernandez (she/her): https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Good_enough_biblio_record/
00:49:18 Fred King: The reason I don't go from Connexion to Koha is that I didn't know you could do that. What I do may be cumbersome, but I know how to do it!
00:51:23 Heather Hernandez (she/her): Then that makes it efficient for you, Fred! If you're interested, here's the section in the 22.05 manual for the OCLC Connexion Gateway: https://koha-community.org/manual/22.05/en/html/third_party_software.html#oclc-connexion-gateway
00:58:10 Heather Hernandez (she/her): Great point about the WorldCat.org interface--we have one of those, too. Ours is here: https://sanfranciscomaritime.on.worldcat.org/discovery
01:00:56 Miranda Nero (OSL): We're using BTCat instead of OCLC and the cost saving vastly outweighs the handful of records that are found only in OCLC.

00:26:11 Mark Messenger: me too-I use marcedit
00:27:20 Mark Messenger: yes please
00:28:36 Mark Messenger: what kind of label printer do you use?
00:29:13 Mark Messenger: that's what I use lol
00:41:35 Heather Hernandez (she/her): My favorite bug! Please read, comment, vote, support!! https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21472 (it's the one about getting linking working in linking entry fields, a.k.a. 76X-78X USMARC fields)
00:43:11 Heather Hernandez (she/her): https://journals.ala.org/index.php/lrts/article/view/5064
00:44:52 Mark Messenger: How do you all handle authorities in Koha? particularly when importing marc records...
00:45:06 Mark Messenger: i see
00:46:41 Fred King: Heather, you have much nicer dreams than I do.
00:46:42 Jane Cothron: How do you handle duplicate authority records?
00:46:52 Mark Messenger: I've been linking manually (use the button in basic editor) as needed... I key in and I also use Koha's built in import
00:47:58 Miranda Nero (OSL): Hi all - first time here, so I wanted to introduce myself! My name is Miranda Nero. I'm the Head of Cataloging for Ocean State Libraries, the public library consortium in Rhode Island. We're currently migrating to Koha from Sierra and are set to go live at the end of May. I haven't gotten to see too much of the cataloging side of Koha, so I'm looking forward to picking up what I can from you all! Seems like a fun group so far :)
00:47:59 Jane Cothron: I've been running into the 50 page problem with alphabetic lists of records when merging. After the first 50 pages, the records no longer list alphabetically.
00:48:45 Miranda Nero (OSL): Ha!
00:49:37 Fred King: Yeah, that's right. Blame it on someone else. :-)
00:50:21 Jane Cothron: We had multiple libraries and ended up importing multiple sets of authority records. I am still merging the records.
00:50:34 dptownsend: Hi Darlene Townsend from University of North Alabama. I've attended a few times just to listen. We've been on Koha since 2020. I'm really interested in talking to others, especially from academic libraries, about using authorities in Koha.
00:50:41 Jane Cothron: Ah--that sounds like a re-indexing job.
00:51:30 Fred King: A computer is logical but not reasonable. --Isaac Asimov (paraphrased)
00:52:03 Jane Cothron: Full employment for catalogers.
00:52:13 Heather Hernandez (she/her): Hah!! Yes!!
00:52:16 Miranda Nero (OSL): My entire job could be just authority work!
00:53:06 Mark Messenger: what's the link for the email list?
00:53:13 Jane Cothron: Really? When I import authority records, all the numbers are--or, at least were--the same for all records in that batch.
00:55:03 Heather Hernandez (she/her): The link to our Google Group is on the Koha-US Special Interest Groups page: https://koha-us.org/special-interest-groups/ under "Workspace," https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1IUF_GpWSOw3k2_wehCqZfKbQLwfSFlyl
00:55:26 Miranda Nero (OSL): Our authority vendor told us to prepare for Koha matching authority records on 010 not 001, is that true?
00:55:31 Heather Hernandez (she/her): If you need help joining, email info@koha-us.org
00:56:33 Mark Messenger: Thanks!
01:03:44 Heather Hernandez (she/her): Oh--this is our CatSIG Google Group: https://groups.google.com/a/koha-us.org/g/cataloging
01:05:14 Miranda Nero (OSL): We use Backstage Library Works sending ~5000 bib records a month for authority processing
01:06:47 Fred King: We get most of our books from Rittenhouse. Catalog records are available for download, but I use OCLC because I can usually find better records there.
01:08:26 Fred King: Hooray for kludges!
01:08:36 Miranda Nero (OSL): We do a LOT of global updates for authority work, so this is sounding like I'm going to be using MarcEdit a lot more
01:09:44 Lauren Denny: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library
01:10:09 Mark Messenger: Thank you!
01:10:11 Lauren Denny: https://koha-us.org/learn/
01:11:02 Miranda Nero (OSL): Thank you!

00:24:37 Julia Robbins: Those are good images! It's confusing bc magazines are calledserial publications but it sounds like you are saying the different volumes of a continuing range of publications should link in 700's not list the serial title in the 400's? (for example, some health brochures all published with the same format and the same overall titles but different health issues addressed)
00:26:53 Julia Robbins: And the serial goes in 700's?

01:55:16 Leanne Cooper: I am seeing more and more 856 with IMDB links in movie records---is this becoming more standard and use of linked data?
01:56:33 Leanne Cooper: ok sounds good---in general is IMDB considered to be high quality resource...
01:57:37 Christie B: I am in acquisitions. I usually import full MARCS to overlay "on order" records. Does anyone know of a way to overlay only "on order" records when importing a batch of full MARCS? We are having an issue when I import a batch, it overlays ALL records, not just "on order" records.
01:57:58 Bruce Metcalf: Maybe 877 instead of 856?
01:58:37 Leanne Cooper: ohhh good to know--I am at a state institution so I should find out about that...thank you
01:59:15 Lauren Denny: Would using the $u in the note fields for table of contents, book reviews or IMDB link be a better option than the 856?
02:01:25 Heather Hernandez (she/her): Lauren: IMO, it depends on how you have your Koha public display set up--where is the table of contents field displayed (on the screen? behind a tab?) & how prominent are the links in those 505 fields, vs. the 856 fields.

00:41:56 Heather Hernandez (she/her): https://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/053/table.html Library of Congress cutter information
00:42:15 Leanne Cooper: Does any one catalog e-books with PDF files--where do you store the PDF's--link to? Where does the 856 go to? Some one mentioned using virtual commons but would that be a copyright violation? (this is someone's else question from my institution so I don't fully get it myself haha)
00:43:24 George Williams: This is what I picture Fred's van to be like
00:44:30 Barbara Johnson: love the van photo
00:45:20 George Williams: We have some PDF digital books that the publisher has said it's OK to add to our catalog. We have these PDFs saved to Koha.

01:05:01 Lauren Denny: I'm interested in what you find out. I have a similar problem
01:06:57 Heather Hernandez (she/her): 21.05 manual about the News feature: https://koha-community.org/manual/21.05/en/html/tools.html#news
01:09:32 Heather Hernandez (she/her): These are our "objects," i.e., things that are important to as as "things," not just for informational content: https://keys.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?advsearch=1&weight_search=on&limit=mc-itype%2Cphr%3AOBJECT&sort_by=relevance&do=Search
01:09:57 Heather Hernandez (she/her): We use item type for this, BTW.
01:11:26 Bruce Metcalf: Nothing more obscure than the obvious.
01:11:45 Heather Hernandez (she/her): :):):)
01:13:32 Fred King: Bruce, may I use that as my signature quote? If so, do you want to be cited as you, anon, or trad?
01:13:59 Bruce Metcalf: Feel free. I'm probably not the first to use it.
01:14:07 Bruce Metcalf: See: "The Purloined Letter"
01:14:16 Fred King: Trad, then.
01:14:53 Bruce Metcalf: It's called "conservation of grief".
01:16:50 Bruce Metcalf: What should "Collection Codes" be used for?
01:18:10 Heather Hernandez (she/her): They can be used to shelve by color, even: https://koha-community.org/manual/21.05/en/html/extending_koha.html#cataloging-and-searching-by-color
01:18:20 Heather Hernandez (she/her): And search by color.
01:22:51 Heather Hernandez (she/her): This is a search in the Koha-US demo where you can see, in the search facets on the left, some ways the item types, shelving locations, and collection codes are used: https://demo.koha-us.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=&q=fiction&limit=&weight_search=1

could have effects with migration issue whether you use single or separate records depending on new ILS you are migrating too I've read. Separate records migrate more smoothly majority of the time. But we all have and love Koha so we won't be migrating anytime soon :)

08:53:20 From Ray Delahunty to Everyone:
At our 6 colleges we have various Dewey versions and local 'preferences' and we ignore the 050. ALL our items have local Dewey in the items. We put in the 'local-Dewy' in the ordering platform and that comes in via EDI (in the GIR segment) and that gets pushed into itemcallnumber as part of the EDI QUOTE building the data in Koha.
08:57:04 From Melanie Quinn to Everyone:
This takes some manipulating in excel but it helps to sort LC call numbers correctly https://scholarsphere.psu.edu/resources/4e1e5dc2-6251-4ff2-8658-ce90b8db6180

08:02:20 Victor Zuniga: "Metadata connects everything..." Idea for a T-shirt?
08:06:02 Heather Hernandez (she/her): I would SO buy that tshirt!!
08:07:24 Jason Vasche (RRPL): what do you find to be a strength of the basic editor?
08:07:33 bjohnson: please give some love to following bugs: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26373.
08:07:36 bjohnson: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26836
08:09:10 Jason Vasche (RRPL): fixed fields makes good sense, it can be frustrating to toggle the helper in the advanced editor
08:09:32 Victor Zuniga: Any ideas as to why the non-public note field value would not display when editing a record? It does display when you first attempt to input a value into the record. It just not display the value after initially inserting into the record.
08:15:00 Tasha: When time to answer, do you have to reload records to change frameworks, once records have already been loaded? It doesn't look like you can use batch edit tools to change to a different framework.
08:16:38 Heather Hernandez (she/her): Ah--no, I was mistaken! You know which item record you're actually editing because it's highlighted in that pinkish color, which this one was.
08:30:24 Heather Hernandez (she/her): Kitty!!
08:31:09 Bruce Metcalf: Doofus the Blob. "Pick me up! Now put me down!"
08:31:37 Melanie: Lists?
08:34:21 Hall Library: We have bag items as well. We have reduced the number of items in the bags to five and barcode each one. Which was easier for us. Because each items cost.
08:37:49 Margaret Brown: We treat our Special Collections as a separate branch. They have their own weird classification scheme.
08:39:24 Hall Library: Set up a branch transfer make the location and check it out to that branch that you made up.
08:50:20 Fred King: https://xkcd.com/208/
08:50:54 Heather Hernandez (she/her): YES, Fred!!
08:51:19 Jason: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21860
08:51:59 Hall Library: That is not how we learned to catalog nor shelve books. The "The or An" are always last

00:20:01 yuyan : Thank you, Jason and Heather for the info
00:20:34 Heather Hernandez (she/her): This report is great, Jason!!
00:25:22 Holly Cooper: are you thinking batch bib. record modification or batch item modification?
00:26:05 Bruce Metcalf: I'm thinking of direct, single record imports. Haven't learned batch processing yet.
00:26:37 Heather Hernandez (she/her): This is a PTFS video, https://youtu.be/8UItQHclmP4
00:27:19 Heather Hernandez (she/her): ...about batch editing w/the MARC modification templates.
00:33:35 Jason Robb: Here's the official repo link: https://gitlab.com/koha-community/Koha/-/tree/master/koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/xsltThe Del952.xsl, Del995.xsl sheets should be able to be applied to records on import via Z39.50, those sheets are added in the admin area for each z-target

00:44:33 yuyan : Jason, I used your report to trackclicks, but I didn't get any result by running the report. Should I also add time periods to the report? what did I do wrong?
00:45:45 Barbara Johnson: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26836

00:51:43 Bruce Metcalf: Thanks!
00:54:00 Stephanie: All. The. Time.
01:05:17 Stephanie: I overlay in the basic editor, and it happens to me as well.
01:06:59 Barbara Johnson: • We get brief bib records when we order from our vendor. When the item is received we overlay the brief bib with a full MARC record via Z39.50. Sometimes the incoming record has tags that we never want in our bibs (local 9XX tags, 852, local 59x notes, etc. We'd like a way to prevent those tags from being imported instead of having to delete them from every incoming record.
01:07:09 Barbara Johnson: • We include some local ordering info in the bib records when we order from our vendor. It is set up to come over in tags that we never use (025, 026). When we overly the brief bib record with the full record via Z39.50 we lose info in those tags. We would like a way to define specific tags that we do not want to be overlayed by the incoming bib.
01:07:19 Barbara Johnson: • Because we include some local ordering info in the 025 and 026 tags it would be helpful to us to be able to highlight (a different font color, a background color, etc.) that info so it is easily seen during cataloging.
01:07:45 Barbara Johnson: • Batch record modification - we would like for any new MARC tags to be included in the modified bib record in tag number order.
01:08:04 Barbara Johnson: • When using Z39.50 to overlay a bib record diacritics are often wonky. Sometimes changing the Z39.50 server from utf8 to MARC-8 or vice versa will fix it. But often neither encoding will fix the diacritics from some servers.
01:08:30 Bruce Metcalf: Question about diacriticals....
01:08:31 Barbara Johnson: • When using Z39.50 to overlay a bib record the list of servers does not sort by the rank included in the server setup. They display in the order in which the server was created. It would be helpful to fix the ranking issue. It would also be great to have a sort feature on the modal display itself for the servers such as alphabetically or by newest/oldest.
01:08:45 Barbara Johnson: • When using Z39.50 to overlay a bib record it always uses the default template. So if there are really important changes I need I have to edit the default template (which I know I'm not supposed to do) There needs to be a specific template associated with importing and overlaying bibs from Z39.50.
01:08:58 Barbara Johnson: • There is a 'Clear search form' button on the screen when you use Z39.50 to create a new record. It would be nice to have the same functionality on the Advanced Editor screen.

08:03:46 From Heather : Manual about editing frameworks https://koha-community.org/manual/19.11/en/html/administration.html#marc-bibliographic-frameworks
08:08:44 From Heather : 1. I know what Cutter numbers are and how to build them. Can anyone tellme why I would want to use them in favor of the authors' names? Notethat mine is a specialized research library who has to do originalcataloging on about a third of our items.2. In MARC fields in the 600 series, there are subfields $v, form; and$x, general. While I can find all the definitions I want online, Icannot find anything that says what makes a given term a "form" ratherthan a "general" entry. Looking at LC records, I see no consistency;things like "biography" are variously placed in either. Is there a list?
08:12:51 From pamelanaylor : I agree Heather.
08:17:36 From Heather : https://www.loc.gov/aba/publications/FreeLCSH/freelcsh.html
08:17:59 From Heather : https://www.loc.gov/aba/publications/FreeSHM/H1075.pdf
08:21:56 From Fred King : Texas People Crave (something beginning with F)
08:23:34 From Melanie Quinn : That was helpful. Thank you!
08:23:36 From Leanne Cooper : what’s your thoughts about a book that is copyrighted and published say 2001. But then in the verso says second printing 2002. Do you go with the latest date 2002 even though it is second printing or do you go with 2001 because that is copyright and published then?
08:23:39 From Fred King : Authority file: something I'm going to deal with any day now
08:24:06 From Bruce Metcalf : Tag 008 permits multiple dates.
08:29:29 From Leanne Cooper : ok thanks so helpful.
08:31:10 From Bruce Metcalf : Our organization is guilty of print-on-demand with constant changes. What's the best way to identify such books from the publisher's end?
08:31:38 From Fred King : "Printed with revisions in YYYY"
08:33:05 From Heather : OCLC Bibliographic Formats & Standards, Special Cataloging Guidelines: https://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/specialcataloging.html
08:35:24 From pamelanaylor : Serials record is also good to remind us to buy monographic serials and then we catalog each volume separately to see the contents notes.
08:41:06 From Leanne Cooper : thank you :)
08:41:12 From pamelanaylor : Thanks, I really enjoyed this one.
08:41:16 From MB iPhone to Heather(Privately) : Thank you!
08:41:32 From MB iPhone : Thank you!
08:41:35 From Bruce Metcalf : Much better time spent than my exposure to Library School.

08:09:28 From Julia Robbins : That might help advance your Google search hits too. We aren’t part of a larger unit like that.
08:11:34 From jtate : We are an archival library. For collections, we mark up the finding aid in HTML and add an 856 to the record. If there are images, they are handled by our Electronic Records section. Our catalog is http://zed.mdah.state.ms.us

This session focused on MarcEdit

Chat logs:
00:23:24 George: I can see it
00:41:59 Myka Kennedy Stephens: Could you demonstrate how to edit a record in MarcEdit and pass those edits to Koha?
00:48:42 Myka Kennedy Stephens: Did you need different Z39.50 settings to be able to write changes to Koha? The Z39.50 settings we received for our catalog appear to be read-only settings and I have not been able to create/update records. I have only been able to search and download records.
00:52:00 Myka Kennedy Stephens: I have a ticket open, but I think folks have been busy with library closures
00:53:13 Myka Kennedy Stephens: yes!!
00:53:34 Todd: Is this being recorded?
00:54:56 Myka Kennedy Stephens: Thank link in the note is snazzy. Is there a tutorial somewhere with instructions on how to do that?
00:57:01 Heather Hernandez: That *is* so snazzy!!
00:57:14 George: /cgi-bin/koha/reports/guided_reports.pl?reports=1&phase=Export&format=csv&report_id=
00:57:26 Myka Kennedy Stephens: That is really nifty idea and a real time-saver. Thank you for sharing!
01:02:41 Barbara Johnson: Can you share the MarcEdit tasks you set up?
01:06:42 yuyan: I created macro in Koha adavance editor, however, when I login back to Koha next day, my macro is disappeared. anyone know what I missed?
01:08:02 Heather Hernandez: I think this is a known problem, yuyan--there is a bug in development and testing for this.
01:08:02 Jennifer Howard: Terry Reese's webinar from the other week was on tasks, fyi
01:08:50 Heather Hernandez: We are a special collections/museum library with lots of rare books, serials, etc., & I think there's lots of ways to use these processes for these materials!
01:09:27 Jason Robb: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17268
01:12:11 Myka Kennedy Stephens: Is the MarcEdit Task Manager smart enough to check for a particular 590 note and only add it if it isn’t present? (Presuming the human operator is capable enough to tell it to do that!)
01:16:43 Myka Kennedy Stephens: thank you! very helpful.
01:19:08 Todd: It’s been as great mtg thanks! Gotta run!
01:20:47 Leanne: Thank you learned a lot
01:20:51 Abbey Holt: Thank you!
01:21:10 yuyan: thank you so much for demos. very helpful!
01:21:21 TaraA: Thank you!
01:21:23 Barbara Johnson: Thanks Heather. Thanks George - I always learn something new from you.
01:21:30 Elena: Thank you all! George, greetings from VALNet.
01:21:45 Myka Kennedy Stephens: Thank you, Heather! Thank you, George!

Chat Log:
07:31:12 From Heather Hernandez : Hi! We'll start at the top of the hour. The session will be recorded & the group chat saved. Please feel free to unmute yourself, start your video, and chime in! Today's topic: Advanced bib editor/"Rancor."
08:01:25 From Caroline Cyr La Rose : +1
08:01:29 From Myka Kennedy Stephens : sounds good, Heather!
08:01:30 From Elena : I can hear well
08:01:31 From John : Sounds good here!
08:03:40 From arattler : Apologies! I missed how you got to where you are.
08:05:06 From arattler : Thank you!
08:05:18 From Michael (CKLS) : Note that you can only use the advanced editor if it is enabled in system settings
08:05:31 From Fred King : From me as well--we lost network access for a couple of minutes.
08:05:47 From Jennifer Howard : your share didn't switch back to the correct window I don't think?
08:06:03 From Jennifer Howard : thumbs up!
08:07:10 From John : Subfield a must be explicitly stated, yes?
08:07:36 From John : Thank you!
08:07:36 From Fred King : How are you getting the field tag symbol?
08:09:00 From Todd : Hey everyone if you’re not speaking will you please MUTE!
08:10:08 From Fred King : Did you mean a 588 field?
08:11:43 From Jennifer Howard : does Save to Catalog make it a searchable bib (in the OPAC)? Is there a way to save as draft?
08:11:50 From Fred King : Thanks--I'm not a real cataloger so I'm easily confused. :-)
08:14:23 From Abbey Holt : I like that trick! I hate switching back and forth each time.
08:16:18 From Caroline Cyr La Rose : I notice 942$2 is a drop-down menu, can you put a drop-down in any field?
08:16:46 From Caroline Cyr La Rose : No worries :)
08:17:28 From Amber B : I always check subject headings in basic editor. It’d be great if we could do it from the advanced editor.
08:18:01 From margaret.brown : Tell me again--how did you check the subject headings?
08:20:22 From marieluce : the locked field may be due to a system preference called BiblioAddsAuthorities
08:20:51 From L1COOPER : do you need an authority control system in order to check it in Koha?
08:25:01 From Fred King : How easy is it to merge authority records--let's say I have Rubin, William; Rubin, Billy; Rubin, W James--and they're all the same person.
08:31:26 From Fred King : Thanks! Is it possible to display the record number (for all the records) on the screen? That sounds like it might be useful.
08:31:48 From Caroline Cyr La Rose : I don't think it's possible Fred
08:31:52 From Fred King : Enhancement request!
08:33:57 From margaret.brown : We can 't do macros in Firefox--but they work fine in Chrome.
08:34:51 From margaret.brown : Sometimes my macros land in the wrong place.
08:35:39 From Jason Robb : Macros page on the wiki: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Advanced_editor_macros
08:37:16 From Barbara Johnson : FYI - bug 17268 addresses retaining macros when browser is cleared.
08:41:12 From marcia.butler : I haven't used MARCEdit connected to our Koha yet. Can I run a vendor file through MARCEdit and update and save directly into Koha?
08:42:01 From Fred King : Yes.
08:42:21 From marcia.butler : I will have to try our next Playaway file
08:44:34 From marcia.butler : okay
08:45:13 From Caroline Cyr La Rose : You can also make batch changes at the staging step with MARC modification
08:46:06 From Caroline Cyr La Rose : (I love that tool lol!)
08:46:57 From Fred King : (happy dance)
08:51:47 From Caroline Cyr La Rose : +1
08:51:50 From arattler : I've been working on becoming more familiar with MarcEdit, so this would be an awesome topic to cover!
08:53:15 From marcia.butler : We are using just Z39.50 here would like to hear.
08:54:05 From Fred King : Yes!!
08:54:22 From Myka Kennedy Stephens : woot!
08:55:44 From arattler : How quickly will this recording be available?
08:56:12 From Fred King : "get the champagne out of the bottle" --James Billington, Librarian of Congress
08:56:14 From L1COOPER : Thank you so much
08:56:16 From arattler : OK. Thank you!
08:56:26 From marcia.butler : lost sound
08:56:35 From arattler : This has been so great. I've already learned so much.
08:56:40 From hthai : Thank you so much
08:56:46 From Fred King : He said it as a federal employee, so I can setel it freely.
08:56:54 From marieluce : thank you!
08:56:59 From John : Thank you!
08:57:00 From Caroline Cyr La Rose : Thanks Heather! It was very interesting!
08:57:07 From Fred King : Thank you!!
08:57:20 From margaret.brown : This has been great! Thanks!
08:57:32 From Myka Kennedy Stephens : Thank you!

00:25:57 Myka Kennedy Stephens: sounds great!
00:26:11 Caroline Cyr La Rose: +1
00:28:29 Todd: Looks like this bug needs some love = comments, votes!
00:28:46 Caroline Cyr La Rose: I can't see the link?
00:28:47 Jennifer Howard: that link didn't show up in chat for me?

00:30:05 Caroline Cyr La Rose: I know a bit of work has been done on RDF in Koha, do we want to advocate a more significat shift?
00:30:21 Caroline Cyr La Rose: since LC is now cataloging exclusively in BIBFRAME
00:31:55 Actually Jason: Linked Data omnibus: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10787
00:32:35 Caroline Cyr La Rose: Thanks Jason!
00:35:39 Todd: Hey Heather, since your screen shore is up will you show the group how to place their vote for a bug.?
00:36:06 yuyan: I think I should send my notes to the group. Our library just went live with Koha last October, so I am pretty new to Koha family. So far when we have issues or problems, we create tickets in KOha ticketing system, the Koha support has been great! however, sometimes, I do want to figure things out by go to Koha commuity before burdens Koha support team. Can you recommend where is the best place to go to see other users solutions to their problems and issues. Thnaks Yan
00:37:43 yuyan: I don't know how to join the group chat Heather mentioned, and I don't know where is the website you just get in and looking for bugs.

00:43:21 Caroline Cyr La Rose: The community docs team needs writers, if anyone is interested

00:44:45 Caroline Cyr La Rose: ^ this is the how to
00:46:22 Caroline Cyr La Rose: ++ cool!
00:47:50 Holly: Caroline can I check the policy for working in the Taigia group for updating the manual? Is it alright to just claim unclaimed work to mark that you will be making those changes to the manual?
00:48:28 Caroline Cyr La Rose: yup! Assign stuff to yourself!
00:48:36 Holly: Thanks all!
00:48:40 Actually Jason: z-targets https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_Open_Z39.50_Sources
00:49:15 Caroline Cyr La Rose: For the others , this is the docs "to do list" https://tree.taiga.io/project/ldjamison-kohadocs-1805/epics
00:49:37 Caroline Cyr La Rose: I add the release notes as the bugs are pushed so we can document
00:51:44 Elaine Bradtke: I think it would be good to have specific topics on occasion.
00:52:34 Gerry_Burla: We have 11 official languages in the Territory. Tips and tricks from other KOHA partners on display and cataloguing would be appreciated.
00:54:14 Elaine Bradtke: Irish and Scottish Gaelic ;-)
00:55:08 yuyan: when I import a bib record from OCLC to koha, sometime the 246 filed ( title) has blank box for me to work on, sometime it doesn't have a blank box after the field, and I try add it, but it seems there is no way to do. I have no idea why one imported bib. field 246 field can be edited and another one cannot.
00:55:08 Holly: Seconded!
00:55:22 Myka Kennedy Stephens: I’m exploring creating records for archival collections. I’d be interested in hearing from others who are more familiar with EAD and using Koha to create discoverable records for archival collections.
00:58:05 Elaine Bradtke: I am also interested in the archival applications, I have some experience in this.
01:00:48 Caroline Cyr La Rose: yes!!
01:00:52 Liz Dukelow, CKLS: Yes please!
01:01:04 Todd: Heather was that a boat horn!?
01:01:25 Liz Dukelow, CKLS: is that a frame work issue?
01:02:31 Todd: HA!
01:11:48 Marjorie Snyder: Thanks!
01:11:55 yuyan: Thank you, all. I got some very useful links and info from this meeting
01:11:57 Todd: Cya next time!
