00:01 Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on How to catalog Serial subscriptions.
00:07 In this tutorial we will learn:

How to catalog Serial subscriptions.

00:14 To record this tutorial, I am using

Ubuntu Linux OS 16.04 Koha version 16.05

00:27 To follow this tutorial, you should have knowledge of Library Science.
00:33 To practice this tutorial,

You should have Koha in stalled on your system. You should also have Admin access in Koha.

00:44 If not, please refer to the Koha Spoken Tutorial series on this website.
00:50 Before we begin, let us understand-
00:53 What are Serials module?

Serials module is used for managing subscription of- Journals,

01:03 Magazines and

Periodicals that are published periodically.

01:10 In this demo, I am going to catalog a serial publication -

With the title- Indian Journal of Microbiology Volume-57 Number- 1 Quarterly publication for the month of- Jan to March 2017

01:30 To do so, login with the Superlibrarian username and password.
01:36 On the Homepage click on Cataloging.
01:41 Then click on +New record

From the drop-down, select Serials.

01:49 A new page Add MARC record opens.
01:54 Let us proceed to fill in the details below.
01:58 Notice that there are a few mandatory fields on this page.
02:02 Interestingly, Koha auto-generates values for a few mandatory fields.
02:09 Among the range of tabs from 0 to 9, we will start with tab zero.
02:16 Click inside the field for 000, LEADER. By default Koha shows this value.
02:26 Next, click inside the field for 005 DATE AND TIME OF LATEST TRANSACTION.
02:35 Koha auto generates this value (20180821000559.0) for my machine.
02:40 You will see a different value on your interface.
02:44 I will skip the fields for 006 and 007.
02:50 When 008 FIXED-LENGTH DATA ELEMENTS--GENERAL INFORMATION is clicked,
02:57 Koha auto generates this value 180821b xxu।।।।। ।।।। 00। 0 eng d
03:01 Next, go to the tab 022 ISSN
03:06 Locate the two blank boxes adjacent to 022 question mark
03:12 Note that:

When you click on the ? (question mark) then-

the entire MARC 21 Bibliographic format for the respective tag 022 opens up.

03:24 Here, both the indicators are undefined.
03:28 Now, let us go back to the Koha interface
03:32 So, I will skip the two blank boxes.
03:36 Next, locate the sub-field ‘a’ International Standard Serial Number.
03:43 Enter an 8 digit Journal ISSN (0046-8991)
03:48 However, you have to add the ISSN of the Journal that you have chosen to catalog.
03:55 I will skip the rest of the fields.
03:57 You may consider filling these fields as per the requirement of your library.
04:04 Next, go to the tab 040 CATALOGING SOURCE.

Locate the two blank boxes adjacent to 040 ?

04:14 Here, both the indicators are undefined.
04:18 So, I will leave the two blank boxes as they are.
04:23 Go to sub-field c, Transcribing agency
04:28 Type the name of the Institute/University or the Department here.
04:34 I will type IIT Bombay.

As mentioned earlier when you click on the ? (question mark)

05:02 the entire MARC 21 Bibliographic format for the respective tag opens up.
05:09 Let us again go back to the Koha interface.
05:13 Now, type 0 in the first blank box. Note that: 0 is the indicator for No added Entry.
05:22 Type 0 in the 2nd blank box also.
05:26 2nd indicator represents a non-filling character.

05:46 You can type the title of your Journal here.
05:50 Now, go to 260 PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION, ETC.

07:48 Click on CURRENT PUBLICATION FREQUENCY to expand the tag so that we can fill in the sub-fields.
07:57 In the sub-field ‘a’ Current publication frequency, I will type Quarterly.
08:05 This is because my journal is a quarterly periodical Serial.
