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. |
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? 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 adjacent to the Vendor name |

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 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. |
