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