Good day all! I'm new to the Koha system - we're using it for our charter high school library. We've only had it installed for about 2 months and I'm now responsible for maintenance and enhancements. In our library, we need the ability for users (high school students) to be able to search for books using a lexile number range. For example: Find all the books that have a lexile number between 100 and 200. I don't see this as an option anywhere in the advanced search so I was going to try and create the option. Here are my questions: 1. Has anyone done this yet? 2. I'm assuming there has to be something in the Zebra indexing system that allows this - being ignorant of Zebra, can anyone assist?

Richard, Yes, you should use "lex" in the searches, it is a numeric index so you use operators like "lt" (less than) or "le" (less than and equal to). Searches should be in this fashion: lex,st-numeric,lt:500 lex, st-numeric,le:800 and lex, st-numeric, ge: 300 See this DC Everest's OPAC to see this in operation (use reading program drop down): http://koha.dce.k12.wi.us/ Thanks, Savitra Sirohi Nucsoft OSS Labs http://www.osslabs.biz On Wed, Jan 13, 2010 at 9:42 PM, Nicole Engard <nengard@gmail.com> wrote:

Nice to have the option. If the vendors of your MARC records are not sending them make sure you ask for it so you don't have to manually edit each record in the future. There are companies that will lexile your database for a fee... As a librarian I don't like lexiles to a point. They have their purpose, but when kids are told that is all they can read I have problems. That's a whole new thread... ;) David Schuster nengard wrote:

Savitra, This is fantastic!!! We have a charter high school with at-risk teenagers - they've been in environments that have been far less that optimal and our librarian has their success in mind. Having them read within (or slightly above) their lexile range is a way to help ensure these students succeed. Our librarian will be elated at this option! Thanks again!

Good day all!
I'm new to the Koha system - we're using it for our charter high school library. We've only had it installed for about 2 months and I'm now responsible for maintenance and enhancements.
In our library, we need the ability for users (high school students) to be able to search for books using a lexile number range. For example: Find all the books that have a lexile number between 100 and 200.
I don't see this as an option anywhere in the advanced search so I was going to try and create the option. Here are my questions:
1. Has anyone done this yet?
2. I'm assuming there has to be something in the Zebra indexing system that allows this - being ignorant of Zebra, can anyone assist?
Thanks,

Richard,
Yes, you should use "lex" in the searches, it is a numeric index so you use operators like "lt" (less than) or "le" (less than and equal to). Searches should be in this fashion:
lex,st-numeric,lt:500 lex, st-numeric,le:800 and lex, st-numeric, ge: 300
See this DC Everest's OPAC to see this in operation (use reading program drop down): http://koha.dce.k12.wi.us/

Richard,
The lexile numbers should be in 521$a.
I will supply the code later this week (we are off today), not jquery, I don't think.
Nicole, on including this in advanced search, sure we will submit a patch.
