[Koha-devel] Where is the information about what username created/modified a "biblio" record saved?

[Ricardo Dias Marques]

Hi Chris,

I must admit I'm amazed: you received my message, read it and replied
with a very informative reply in just 6 MINUTES!

I think that you just set some world record!  :)

Some more comments / questions below:

You're right. I navigated to the "Logs" tab of the "System Preferences" page at:

http://192.168.0.2:8080/cgi-bin/koha/admin/systempreferences.pl?tab=Logs

In that page, I found out that only log that is DISABLED is precisely
the "Cataloguing Log":
____________________

CataloguingLog
If ON, log edit/create/delete actions on bibliographic data. WARNING:
this feature is very resource consuming.
[Set to OFF]

Do you Chris (or anyone else, for that matter) have any input if it is
"safe" to enable this setting in a production environment, for a
reasonably small library (with about 30 thousand bibliographic
records) with relatively infrequent catalog changes ?

Is there any field (tag / subfield) in UNIMARC / MARC 21 for storing
information about who created and/or "last modified" a bibliographic
record?

Thanks again Chris! Your first answer was, as I mentioned in the
beginning, very good and lightning fast!  :)


Best wishes,
