----- Forwarded message from BWS Johnson <mhelman@illinoisalumni.org> ----- Salve! Soooo, if you go to the catalogue you've set up, which makes me want a Corona ;), you'll see that The complete idiot's guide to dealing with in-laws / By Rozakis, Laurie E. gets lumped in with a whole bunch of kid's and adult fiction. If I were a patron looking for how to handle my in-laws, (right now! they're at home!!!!) I would have to sort through all of the Family Life listings, even though, I ought to be able to just view the non fiction adult ones as a separate string. It gets worse! This entry http://opac.liblime.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-MARCdetail.pl?bib=22186 gets lumped in with family life, even though it's about farm life and family farms. Eeep! It's interesting to me, because if you do the old fashioned give me a search string that looks like this family life -- juvenile fiction under keyword I'll get this http://opac.liblime.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-MARCdetail.pl?bib=23409 And if I do it under subject I'll get this http://opac.liblime.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-MARCdetail.pl?bib=23351 It's mashing the 650a s together, which is no good. In any case, just so it's clear, I do appreciate the work that everyone does. I know that MARC is old and it's a crappy thing to work with, but many folks still insist on it because it can sort out things that simple subject searching doesn't. I want to be on the current Koha version, but I'm having issues at work, which is preventing me from doing that. My husband thinks a new router might do the trick, so I'll try and get one. I still get a lot of questions, but I feel bad about not being current, so I can't upgrade the wiki.
