Good day
everyone,
Our librarian is
having trouble with the OPAC search. When a student searches for books
that we know are in the database, some will not appear in the results
list. Yet, if we go into the staff client and do a checkout, we can find
the catalog item.
At first thought, it
would seem the catalog item is not getting into the zebra index so the search
doesn't find it.
Does Koha
automatically do a zebra index when catalog items are added? Is there a
setting in the Koha admin that has to be set?
In OPAC, when we search for a book we don't see it in the results
list.
In staff
client:
When we want to
check out the book (the library uses a barcode scanner to find the
book):
The book is then
found and we can check it out.
The impact is the
student can't find some books for the work they need to complete. So only if a
student happens to see the book on the shelf can he/she check it
out.
Thanks in advance
for any/all assistance.
Thanks,
Rick
