Hi-- Oh--I understand now! Thank you for clarifying, Colleen. I wish I could help or offer suggestions on Koha's record save functions in those formats, but neither we nor the researchers really use them on Koha. When we or our users need a particular bibliographic citation format for export th

Hi to all, if you want to improve RIS export you need to work on C4/Ris.pm. If you want to improve BIBTEX export you need to work on routine marc2bibtex inside C4/Record.pm. The best option is transform the conversion from perl-code conversion in a XSLT conversion. But you need to start from s

Heather, I have the FF Zotero plugin and you are correct, for the most part it works correctly. It grabs the data from what is visible on the record detail page instead of using MARC fields to tags. I am more concerned with using the "Save Record" options in Koha. If you save the record using RI

Hi-- How are you exporting into Zotero, Colleen? I went to the record you mentioned in your email: http://keys.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=2 And when I saved it to my Zotero, I clicked that little Zotero page icon in my Firefox toolbar & chose the option, "Save

The issue I have with using 773 for analytic records is combining all the source info into one field does not allow for proper export into bibliographic software such as EndNote, Zotero, or Refworks. This is a record for an article I exported in RIS (this is from Heather's library as ours maps R

We have been doing this for almost a year with a slightly different method. We have citation data in a Koha database as an add on to our main catalog (Innovative's Sierra). Encore is our discovery platform. It uses Koha's OAI interface to harvest records in the Koha database. Encore includes

Hi Colleen, We use Koha to maintain our small library collection, as well, compiling journal citation index (cataloguing conference papers, book chapters, etc. shouldn't be much different). Please see: http://opac.translib.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=11710&query_desc=ti%2Cwrdl%3

I look forward to it, Colleen--I'm always happy to chat about cataloging! If I come up with record examples in our catalog that I think others might find useful, I'll be sure to send those to the Koha list as well, and perhaps to Nicole to include in the manual. Cheerio! h2 ~~ Heather

Heather, I can often be found banging my head against the wall while cataloging these citations. I haven't had much luck finding examples of conference papers and book chapters cataloged in MARC. I do indeed have some questions that I will email you off list. Thank you for responding :) Colleen

Hi, Colleen-- I'm sorry that you've found cataloging non-physical items in MARC frustrating--I catalog a lot of non-physical resources in MARC (and have for a long time, both with AACR2R & RDA), so please let me know if I could answer any questions you might have. Cheerio! h2 ~~ Heath

We are using Koha for our GIS Bibliography, see: gis.library.esri.com. There are roughly 150,000 citations (with some full-text pdfs) in our database. The goal is to cover all significant literature and grey material related to geographic information science. We've encountered several issues and

Dear koha-community! This is an amazing project! Thank you all for it! We somehow want to divert Koha slightly from its intended use – and we asked ourselves two questions: 1. Has anyone ever did the same? (My forum search suggests: no) 2. Is it a good idea? Does it make sense? Or are there bett
