When you search on Z39.50 and use OCLC as your target it brings in 952 fields
(aka holdings) from other libraries.  Z search should either offer an option
(like marc import) or ignore all holdings fields when importing.  This can be
done with a sys pref and/or an option the Z search form.

The discussion on IRC can be read below.




[08:58]  <nengard> is the z search in acq different from the one in cataloging?
I have a report that the acq z search is pulling in 952 fields but i've never
seen the cataloging one do that
[08:59]  <kf> nengard: the forms are differnt - I added some missing options.
And you can define a framework- not sure about other differences
[09:06]  <slef> kf: koha jone or another one?
[09:08]  <jcamins> nengard: I just realized what it is.
[09:08]  <jcamins> OCLC.
[09:09]  <nengard> oh!!!!!!!!
[09:09]  <jcamins> I remember deleting those fields at Princeton, too.
[09:10]  <slef> jcamins: always?
[09:10]  <jcamins> slef: well, we always did at Princeton.
[09:10]  <jcamins> Maybe some people keep them.
[09:10]  <slef> jcamins: as in OCLC always send 9xx fields?
[09:10]  <jcamins> I think so.
[09:11]  <slef> bleah, I hope that's documented
[09:11]  * slef browses http://www.oclc.org/
[09:11]  <slef>
http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/z3950/search_IRs/#952structure
[09:12]  <nengard> ICK
[09:12]  <nengard> but good that it's documented
[09:12]  <slef> so OCLC users need to configure Koha to use something else?
[09:12]  <slef> Someone told me why Koha uses 952 but I forget.
[09:12]  <nengard> i have a theory .... but it's not a nice one :)
[09:13]  <slef> nengard: what's yours? Mine is 852 => 952
[09:14]  <slef> Should koha's z search warn and offer to discard if it sees a
biblio/items mapped field in results?
[09:14]  * Nate_ has quit (Quit: Nate_)
[09:14]  * tcohen (~tomas at atlas.unc.edu.ar) has joined #koha
[09:15]  <jcamins> slef: because 952 is used for local holdings by OCLC.
[09:15]  * Nate_ (~nathancur at c-24-147-25-6.hsd1.ct.comcast.net) has joined
#koha
[09:16]  <nengard> slef the marc import lets you ignore holdings - so i think
the z search should too
[09:16]  <nengard> maybe a sys pref or a checkbox on the z search page (don't
import 952)
[09:17]  <nengard> i'll start a report for this and include the chat
