Why is it when I hit 'Go' in .../acqui.simple/addbooks.pl (after typing in an ISBN) I never get any biblios listed in the "Biblios in koha" table, even though the biblio with that ISBN is in the bibioitems table. However it works fine when I type in the title.
Tomasz, are you working with imported MARC records? Some of them may have extra stuff in the ISBN tag -- like "1234567890 (pa.)" to indicate a paperback edition. (Which seems to me to violate the concept of a tracking 'number' and get it confused with information that should be in a note, if anywhere -- sorry, just one of my complaints about the sad state of MARC cataloging.) At any rate, such extra garbage will confuse the Koha ISBN search. I customized Nelsonville's import script to strip most of that stuff when the MARC records are loaded.
Looks like a bug to me. Am I missing something? I'm running Koha2.0.0.
PS. My Koha.biblio table does not contain ISBN column.
No, the ISBN column is in the biblioitems table. -- Stephen Hedges Skemotah Solutions, USA www.skemotah.com -- shedges@skemotah.com
