This patch strips initial special characters so behaves more like one would expect (and more like collations usually sort things). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 30800] New: Ability to view, modify, and delete profiles for staging MARC records for import

It could include each profile's settings and the ability to delete individual/multiple at a time, and if possible, the ability to add new, edit existing, and/or duplicate to create new. But at a minimum, being able to see what exists and delete from there rather than the 'Stage MARC records for import' screen would be helpful. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 21303] New: XSLT should look in LDR/18 to know whether to add punctuation or not

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21303 Bug ID: 21303 Summary: XSLT should look in LDR/18 to know whether to add punctuation or not Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: MARC Bibliographic data support Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: caroline.cyr-la-rose(a)inlibro.com QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org I noticed the XSLT sometimes adds or removes punctuation. If the cataloguers already add the punctuation while cataloguing, this causes double punctuation or no punctuation at all where there should be. For instance, I have a record where there is a period (.) at the end of 100$e. So in MARC, it looks like 100 1# a Goscinny, René, d 1926-1977-, e author. In intranet details, it looks like Goscinny, René, 1926-1977- [author.]. There are two periods (and no comma after the date). In the 260 field, the opposite happens. There is a period at the end of 260$c in MARC, but nothing is appearing in intranet results. 260 ## a Paris : b Gallimard jeunesse, c [2014]. In the intranet details, it looks like Paris : Gallimard jeunesse, [2014] There is no period after the date. MARC21 has a code in LDR/18 to indicate whether or not punctuation has been included in the cataloguing. XSLT should obey this code to determine if it should add punctuation or not. LDR/18 possible codes # - Non-ISBD a - AACR2 c - ISBD punctuation omitted i - ISBD punctuation included n - Non-ISBD punctuation omitted u - Unknown -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 37196] New: Automatically add punctuation to Marc21 title fields

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=37196 Bug ID: 37196 Summary: Automatically add punctuation to Marc21 title fields Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P4 Component: MARC Bibliographic data support Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: alexander.wagner(a)desy.de QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org Blocks: 21303 If the record leader 18 specifies `c` or `n` the Marc record in question does not hold any punctuation chars. IOW the record would look like ``` 245 10 |a Feynman-Kac-type theorems and Gibbs measures on path space |b with applications to rigorous quantum field theory |c József Lörinczi ; Fumio Hiroshima ; Volker Betz ``` (Sample from DNB: http://d-nb.info/988967189/about/marcxml) Currently, Koha will display this as ``` Feynman-Kac-type theorems and Gibbs measures on path space with applications to rigorous quantum field theory József Lörinczi ; Fumio Hiroshima ; Volker Betz ``` while it should actually be displayed like ``` Feynman-Kac-type theorems and Gibbs measures on path space : with applications to rigorous quantum field theory / József Lörinczi ; Fumio Hiroshima ; Volker Betz ``` In this example, if leader 18 == `c`|`n`, Koha should - add the missing ` : ` between title and remainder of title - Add ` / ` before the statement of responsibility - Add a `<span class="title_remainder">` around the remainder of title to allow for formatting Analogously, it should treat the other fields of 245.

[Bug 33446] New: Revert transit status should have the option to cancel the item transfer as well

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=33446 Bug ID: 33446 Summary: Revert transit status should have the option to cancel the item transfer as well Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Hold requests Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: emily.lamancusa(a)montgomerycountymd.gov QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt(a)gmail.com Currently, when a hold's transit status is reverted, the item remains in-transit until the transfer is completed by a check-in. This makes sense if the item actually is still in-transit, but there are other situations in which this transit status is incorrect and may not be easy to remove. For example, in our system, we have HoldsAutoFill enabled. Occasionally there are exceptions where we don't want a book to be put in transit for a hold, but instead to remain available at its home branch. If the staff member reverts the transit status on the hold, the item still shows as In Transit. But they can't check in the item to complete the transfer without causing the hold to trap again. In this situation, the book shouldn't be showing as In Transit, but there's no simple way to remove that status. It's several extra steps at best to manually cancel the transfer (and most of our staff don't know how to do this, as manual transfers are not a normal part of our workflow, so many items retain an incorrect "In transit" status indefinitely). When a hold's transit status is reverted by the sending librarian because they're not planning on sending the book for whatever reason, it would be great if they could revert the hold transit status and cancel the item transfer all in one step. This could be something as simple as a checkbox option or a drop-down, so that the user can choose between "Revert transit status" versus "Revert transit status and cancel item transfer". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 30719] New: ILL should provide the ability to create batch requests

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30719 Bug ID: 30719 Summary: ILL should provide the ability to create batch requests Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: ILL Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: andrew.isherwood(a)ptfs-europe.com Some interlibrary loan providers, for example Reprints Desk, allow for ILL requests to be submitted in batches. In the Reprints Desk case, a batch is created with the supplier, then requests are then submitted including the batch ID. Obviously, this workflow may differ according to supplier and these differences should be abstracted away into the supplier backend. For core Koha, we should provide the ability for it to recognise if a given backend can process batch requests. If so, we should provide an interface for creating and manipulating batches within Koha, then submitting a batch to the supplier. It should also be possible to view all batches and the contents of a given batch. The funding institution has defined the following workflow for creating and populating batches: - A encapsulating "batch" is created with a name and a requesting borrower - Requests are added to a batch via two methods: - In bulk: - A form which allows the user to paste in a collection of identifiers, such as DOI / PMID etc. - For each of these identifiers: - The request metadata should be populated via API queries to metadata suppliers, for example, PubMed API or LibKey/Browzine. This behaviour is governed by the presence of appropriate plugins. - (Optional) Once the metadata is populated for an item, we check for item availability via any installed ILL availability plugins - Individually: - A regular ILL request form, requests are added to the batch -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
