[Apologies for cross-posting, users and devel] Marc 952 $i, $k are not used in "standard" Koha. They can be added to the default framework (allowed by Koha), but this appears to require a modification to the Mysql structure. Has anyone tried to do this? Background: for Serials, we want to add at *item* level "Extended Keywords" (952$z is limited to 255 characters) and "Abstracts" (at *biblio* level, we use 520 $a and $b.) This will require new "Koha Fields" - e.g, in the same way that 952$z uses "items.itemnotes" we will need to introduce "items.itemkeywords" and "items.itemabstracts". I am looking for suggestions as to how to best add these fields so that they can be usefully searched by the OPAC - and of course for any pitfalls or showstoppers. Thanks Paul Tired old sys-admin
Hi Paul, in 3.4 a mapping and a new search index was introduced for 952$i and items.stocknumber. Bug 5839 - Add mapping for items.stocknumber to MARC21 http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5839 You can easily add new subfields in your bibliographic frameworks. If you leave the mapping field empty the data will be stored in the more_subfields_xml column. As the name indicates it's stored in a XML format. There are not many lowercase letters left for 952. According to the MARC21 Standard it's also possible to use uppercase letters, but I am not completely sure if Koha works correctly if you do. This would need some more testing, although we have done so in the past without running into problems. For search you would need to add new indexes to your Zebra configuration. This is independent from the way you store the data in your database. Hope this makes sense and is helpful for you, Katrin

We have used subfield i for our item suppression feature (Bug 4492): http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4492 and subfield k for our Other Item Status (bug 4237): http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4237 Neither have made it into head yet, though.
