00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on How to add Subscription in Serials. |
00:07 | In this tutorial, we will learn how to add a subscription for a new serial. |
00:15 | To record this tutorial, I am using:
Ubuntu Linux OS 16.04 and Koha version 16.05. |
00:29 | To follow this tutorial, learners should have knowledge of Library Science. |
00:35 | You should have Koha installed on your system. |
00:39 | And, you should also have Admin access in Koha. If not, please visit the Koha Spoken Tutorial series on this website. |
00:50 | In an earlier tutorial, we had learnt how to catalog Serial subscriptions. |
00:57 | In this tutorial, we will learn how to add a new subscription for serials. |
01:04 | Login with Superlibrarian username Bella and her password. |
01:10 | As explained in an earlier tutorial in this series, create a new Vendor for Serials subscription. |
01:18 | I will give the name Mumbai Journal supplier. Then I have added an email id. - Mumbaijournals@gmail.com. |
01:30 | Remember to check the check-boxes for-
Primary acquisitions contact:, Primary serials contact:, Contact about late orders and Contact about late issues. |
01:46 | These details will be used later in this tutorial. |
01:51 | Likewise, you have to fill in the details of your vendor. |
01:56 | Here is the screenshot of the Journal that we have to subscribe. |
02:01 | All details shown here are the ones I will be entering in my Koha interface. |
02:08 | Let us go to the Koha interface. |
02:12 | Now, on the Koha homepage, click on Serials. |
02:18 | On the page that opens, click on ‘New Subscription’. |
02:24 | It will open another new page that says Add a new subscription (1/2). |
02:30 | Here, we will be prompted to fill in some details. |
02:35 | For Vendor, click on the tab Search for vendor adjacent to two empty boxes. |
02:43 | In a new window, a new page Serial subscription: search for vendor opens up. |
02:50 | In the field for Vendor name, I will type Mumbai Journal Supplier. |
02:56 | You should type the name of your vendor here. Now, click on the OK button on the right side of this field. |
03:05 | A new page showing the Vendor search results opens. |
03:10 | In the table below, under the section Select:, click on Choose which is adjacent to the Vendor name. |
03:19 | The same page, Add a new subscription (1/2) re-opens. Do not close this page as this will be used again later in the tutorial. |
03:31 | Next is Record . Adjacent to the Record are two blank boxes. |
03:37 | Under these blank boxes are two tabs:
Search for record and Create record. |
03:46 | In case the record already exists then click on Search for record. |
03:53 | Else, click on the tab Create record to create a new entry for the respective serial. |
04:01 | In an earlier tutorial, we have already cataloged a serial with the title Indian Journal of Microbiology. |
04:10 | Therefore, we will click on the tab Search for record. |
04:16 | A new window Catalog search opens. |
04:21 | In the field for Keyword, enter Indian. |
04:27 | Then, click on Search at the bottom of the page. |
04:32 | A new page, Search results from 1 to 1 of 1, opens. |
04:39 | It has the following details as entered earlier:
Title- Indian Journal of Microbiology, Publisher- Springer, ISSN- 0046-8991. |
04:58 | You will see the details that you entered. |
05:02 | Next, click on Choose button at the right corner of the table. |
05:07 | The same window closes and the details entered appear on the page- |
05:13 | Add a new subscription (1/2), in the field for Record.
In my case, it shows number 3. |
05:22 | It may be different on your interface depending upon the number of entries that you have made. |
05:29 | Moving on, I will leave the following as they are. |
05:33 | Let’s proceed.

07:55 | However, if you want to change the pattern-type then click on Show/Hide advanced pattern. |
08:04 | To edit the entries, click on modify pattern at the bottom of the Advanced prediction pattern table. |
08:12 | Note that Pattern name should be: Volume, Number. |
08:18 | Numbering formula should be: Vol.{X}, No.{Y}. |
08:24 | In the table Advanced prediction pattern, Koha by default, selects values for-
Label: For column X as Volume, column Y as Number. |
08:39 | Begins with :
For column X as 57, Column Y as 1 and so on. |
08:48 | Now, click on the Test prediction pattern button at the bottom of the page. |

09:00 | Prediction pattern will show the details of-
Number, Publication date and Not published |
09:11 | Lastly, click on Save subscription at the bottom of the page. |
