The standard Koha manual on cataloguing can be seen at:
http://manual.koha-community.org/3.6/en/cataloging.html
It includes general guide how to:
1. Add a new record

5. Work with authority records
http://manual.koha-community.org/3.6/en/catauthorities.html
In the following chapters we included some specific to FAO input guidelines and tips
collected by the FAO staff.
I.
Introduction
The cataloguing is the first step for a new order placing. As soon as an order is placed and
the first item received the catalogue record can be upgraded.
1
The procedure for cataloguing of a new book title or editing of existing book is presented in
the above flowchart.
Main steps for cataloguing in Koha:
-> Log in to Koha http://unfao.koha-ptfs.eu:8080
This is the login screen
You should have an UserID and password assigned by the system administrator. The Login
will set a range of privileges and preference for you.
2
First task before cataloguing a new book is to search if it was not already catalogued in Koha
1. Search in Koha catalogue if the bibliographic record exists is done by clicking on the
search button for more advanced search features. If you use cataloguing general
search box you can not filter only books and will get also serials).
You can also type your search (e.g. book title) in the search text box of Cataloguing module,
type your search and click on Submit. This search is in the whole record. Use better ISBN
than the book title for more precise searching
In case the record was found you can edit bibliographic record by selecting “edit biblio”.
In case that the record was not found you can select Cataloguing from “More” drop down
list or “Cataloguing” click on Add MARC Record and then New record in order to catalogue
it.
3

There are two types of cataloguing: Original cataloguing – by choosing "New record"
to create a new bibliographic record or copy cataloguing using Z39.50 Search button
and copy a record from external source if catalogued. (You can use Copy cataloguing
through Z39.50 function in Koha to look for more bibliographic information than the
one existing in FAOBIB).
2. Additional search for a given bibliographic record can be done in the legacy ILMS
system FAOBIB
4
Keep in mind that we have to keep for now at least the Koha Accession number equal to
the FAOBIB AN. We can also check with the fields from the cataloguing record in
FAOBIB, including holding libraries, call number and subjects in the Koha cataloguing.
Deleting Records


TIP: To delete a BIB Record, first delete all holdings (items) attached to the bib.
Select Delete from the Edit dropdown menu in the normal view of the record.
o Note: the delete option on the Edit dropdown menu will be greyed out when
a holdings exist. It will only allow you to delete the bib record after all the
holdings (items) have been deleted.
Mapping considerations
As we know FAO library books are not FAO documents catalogued uniquely at FAO but the
documents that may have been already catalogued elsewhere. FAO will not be the main
supplier of MARC21 for those records. It is not planned for now to install Z39.50 server and
to expose FAOLIB records in MARC21 for copy cataloguing by another organizations. The
records will be however used for collection description purpose, for search, access and
exchange (XML or RDF) with other applications.
The team agreed to accept the MARC21 mapping with little variation from the MARC21 rules
listed in Annex 1. It will be seen more as Koha internal MARC format providing a structure
5
for keeping in Koha the bibliographic records created during decades and exchanging them
in any other format requested. We have already mentioned in the initial stage that there are
a lot of ready tools for MARC21 management and conversion.
Cataloguing of a new record
In order to catalogue monographs the user has to select “Books format for FAO”worksheet
for cataloguing of monographs in the FAO ILMS system.
Each record is represented in a framework. The book format for FAO framework includes 9
pages with numerically ordered tags, default values, authority control files, indicators and
fields values.
The question ? after the tag will link to help message or any additional information that will
help cataloguer in his work.
When click on the tag label we receive expanded view of all subfields of this tag in
alphabetical order . You can move them and change the order using the arrow icons
Click on the box will bring default values in the tag
When click on minus ( –) the system deletes the occurrence and on plus sign (+ ) the system
creates a new occurrence of the field (subfield).
Three dots (...) after the tag (or subfields) are linking to the authority file.

Annex 1: MARC21 exceptions accepted for FAO ILMS Koha cataloguing
Issues and problems met during mapping and loading stage:

Permanent and current location needed some clarification

Other language used in FAOLIB bibliographic data as well as Title, Subtitle, Conference name,
Corporate author, Serial title needed to be identified as much as possible during the loading of
data as there is no language “oth” in MARC21

Mapping did not included possibility to distinguish between M and MS bibliographic level.

Decoding of document type used in the FAOBIB fields 10,12, 13,72 was a very difficult issue to
resolve

Date of input in the format YYMMDD (MARC21 limitation) instead YYYYMMDD we have in FAOBIB

Different rules followed in FAOLIB and MARC21 cataloguing: Personal author, Corporate author
and titles that could be repeatable fields in FAOLIB and personal and corporate author can be
present at the same time in the document.
Mitigation:
We found a solution for all mentioned above issues .

the role of owning library and current location was clarified (both subfields contain the same value for
the legacy data)

Logic for automatic identification of the other language for some of the authority files and bibliographic
records was proposed but manual checking will still be needed for the rest of the data with language
“oth” (10% of the FAOLIB data only are multilingual documents)

A new subfield in tag 952 was defined to keep M and MS bibliographic level and after the third loading
we can search for and include in reports this data.

Some issues related to Content type and Media type were resolved by defining additional fields 336
and 338 and authority lists.

Personal author, Corporate author and titles in MARC21 contain only the first occurrence (main) and
subsequent occurrences are going to added entry fields. Some of the content of the fields of our
catalogue did not follow MARC 21 format rules (e.g. in FAOLIB Publication place contains country town
etc.). In FAOLIB the language was written using the full name of the language and in MARC21 it
requires a 3 digit code. It had to be translated from full name to 3 digit code during data loading.

Issue for ISBN to include hyphens was resolved with the third loading

Annex 1 : Building a strategy for copy cataloguing
We can compare FAOBIB cataloguing record with the OCLC or LC copy cataloguing MARC21
and decide what action is easier to be chosen to copy catalogue and delete unnecessary
information or copy from FAOBIB the existing fields for records not in Koha
Comparison between the tags used and evaluation is needed
I. Benefits from using OCLC client copy cataloguing rather than integrated in Koha OCLC copy cataloguing
 Using of a filter feature ensured by OCLC client (select/unselect tags for copy cataloguing).
(To check and confirm redirection from one field or subfield to another from OCLC to FAO data using
such a filter).

Evaluation of search for a record in OCLC database comparing search masks of Koha Z39.50 and
OCLC client search mask and proposals for improving Koha search if necessary

Possibility to edit the record in MARC format before importing to Koha

Free of charge or charged within subscription price? How much? for OCLC copy cataloguing in
comparison with Koha copy cataloguing

once retrieved OCLC record can be upgraded on-line with FAO holdings
 Spell ckecking
 Fill 856 URL link to digital document
 Type using non Latin character set in records metadata
II. Dis benefits from using OCLC client rather than Koha integrated OCLC copy cataloguing

We have to install additional software (no open source) at the client computers (70 MB) for each PC.
This software has to be renewed and kept upgraded. It can not be used from anywhere (like an Web
interface without installation)

Depends on the contracts with OCLC (for how long period we can ensure this contract?) and cost
/benefits should be evaluated

The cataloguer has to go out from Koha for selection of OCLC records and go back to import them in
Koha afterwards.

Filter has to be set up every time and rules should be strictly documented. The cataloguer has to be
aware of tags we really want to import to Koha at this stage. Mapping and list of fields should be set
up.

On import to Koha there is a danger that user replaces an existing in Koha record and its items
(containing local call number and holdings). Cataloguers should check very precisely that the flags are
set up correctly (the system should not look for matching records but always add them as new in
order not to replace existing record). MARC21 format and UNICODE ( UTF-8) should be selected.

Still a lot of additional work has to be done on the cataloguing of OCLC records in ILMS Koha . All
additional FAO fields like: FAIRS subjects, AGRIS or library subject categories, indexing using
AGROVOC thesaurus, 336,338 fields for type and form of document, item record fields for FAO Call
number and holding library etc. should be done.
24
III. Cataloguing rules used at OCLC (and library members) are different from the FAO rules (and the way the
legacy data is represented). Even in OCLC we can found different cataloguing from different libraries (ISBN
with and without dashes)
MARC 21 accepted to represent the FAOBIB records in Koha has specific local fields usage as well as some
exceptions accepted from the cataloguers team (see Annex 2 (copied from the End Phase 3 report)).
A decision for changing cataloguing rules for FAO should be discussed and documented for the users if
necessary to be done.
Mapping can be checked and edited in Annex 3
IV. Consequences of copy cataloguing for Koha:
In case we are importing records from OCLC we have to revise and define in the mapping table new fields that
will come from OCLC records to Koha. See MARC 21 mapping and cataloguing manual for books (draft) in
Annex 3).
Help screens integrated in the worksheet should be prepared and upgraded with the cataloguing rules.
We have to revise Koha worksheets and display formats in order to input/display more than defined already in
Koha ones (new MARC21 tags imported) . A lot of extra tags will not be shown through the serials or books
worksheet but exist as hidden in the records and could be displayed.
We have to be aware of the fact if the punctuation should be or not included in the fields’ values. In order to
create display format we have know should we (in case of legacy data) or not (in case of OCLC copy
cataloguing) include punctuation after the tag (otherwise we will have double punctuation for legacy data).
Accession number for FAOBIB and Koha is using 6 digits assigned manually for now. We base on this search by
numeric value < or > in order to select a range of AN for records and relation to another record link which could
not be working if we introduce different way of unique numbering AN from OCLC (ocm06371045). Decision for
accepting different rules for AN should be documented or new field for keeping OCLC AN should be defined.
The users accepted to use tag 041 (repeatable subfields) for languages as FAO has many multilingual
documents. In OCLC the language can be one and is specified in 008. It had to be moved in 041 and additional
languages could be added there. The search by language in Koha is done using 041 (search by language will
exclude OCLC records if language is only in tag 008)
Decoding value for language (041) is populated in 546$a and requested to be translated automatically from
041$a in the future records cataloguing as it was done for the legacy records.
Authority files used by OCLC are those of LC and may not be validated against the authority files as defined in
Koha ILMS at FAO when submit a record. This can bring additional problems on validation of imported records
so it should be discussed by the cataloguers group.
ISBN without dashes and ISBN with dashes will create discrepancy in the data display and search and browse
by index.
Call number assignment at FAO in comparison with OCLC call number copy catalogued?
Some values should be set up by default (ItFAO as modifying agency, temporary record not to be displayed in
OPAC until edited etc.). Important tags: 041, 336 and 338 not populated and used for search should be mapped
or added manually.
Cataloguing documentation for serials and books for cataloguing in Koha MARC21 should be currently
revised and finalized by the cataloguers
