Finish cataloguing api (Catalogue.pm) + +2. Modify existing code to use the new cataloguing api + a. start with all write routines + b. then all read routines + +3. Polish up MARC editor. Must include some sanity checks to prevent + modifications with the MARC editor rendering the data unusable by Koha. + a. don't delete the barcode, warning before modifying barcode + b. don't mess up linkages between 852 and 876 tags + c. Home branch and holding branch info should require warnings before + updating. + d. others? + +4. Need to create some indexes of the MARC data to aid in searches. Soundex + searches would be nice. + a. subject index + b. title index + c. author index + d. dewey index + e. itemtype index + f. soundex indexes would require an index with 1 word in each record. For + example, a book with the title "The Habitat and Lifestyle of the Elephant" + would have entries for "Habitat", "Lifestyle" and "Elephant" all pointing + to the book's record. An sql query like "select Record_ID from + soundex_index where soundex(word) like soundex('elefant')" would return a + point to "The Habitat and Lifestyle of the Elephant". (Personally, I + think this is pretty silly, but I had some librarians ask for it, and it + isn't overly difficult to implement). Soundex searches should be + configurable as an option somewhere. For example, have a special + interface for young children where they just type in a word and hit enter + and soundex searches are used, but normal searches do not use soundex. It + would be annoying for titles with the words 'Rode' and 'Road' to show up + when you search for 'Rhode', for example. + +5. A million other things, probably... -- 2.39.5
