<p>A MARC Authority Record are used to ensure consitency across catalog records by providing a way to define the standard form of names for:</p><ul><li>People (Authors, Editors, Publishers, Illustrators etc)</li><li>Titles</li><li>Subjects</li><li>Organizations (Companies, Academic Instituites etc)</li></ul>For more information about Authority Records with MARC 21 see the tutorial on the <a href="http://www.loc.gov/marc/uma/index.html">Library of Congress website</a>

<p>Authority records are a way of controlling fields in your MARC records. Using authority records will provide you with control over subject headings, personal names and places.</p>

<h2>Editing Authorities</h2>
12
Tip: To alter this list you need to make changes to your system parameters</span>
12
13
			<ul>
13
<p>Authorities can be edited by clicking on the authority summary from the search results and then clicking the 'Edit' button above the record.</p>
14
				<li>

			    <em>Get there:</em>Home &gt; Administration

17
			</ul></li>
17
<p>To delete an authority record you first must make sure it's not linked to any bibliographic records. If it is not used by any bibliographic records a 'Delete' link will appear to the right of the record on the search results and as a button that appears after clicking on the summary of the authority record.</p>
18
		</ul></li>
19
		<li>Continue with cataloging your authorities</li>

   <h2>Altering Authorities Records</h2>
22
	<ul>
23
		<li>Search for the Authority</li>
24
		<li>Click on the summary for the record you want to edit</li>
25
		<li>Click 'Edit' at the top left</li>
26
	</ul>   
27
   <h2>Adding Authorities to a record</h2>
28
   <p>There are three ways to add authorities to a record:</p>
29
	<ul>
30
		<li>query authority file when adding/editing a record (during cataloging)</li>
31
		<li>enable Koha to auto-detect authority records when a record is saved</li>
32
		<li>library maintains its own authority records based on the dataset</li>
33
	</ul>
34
	<p>Here are details on these options:</p>
35
	<h3>Query authority file when adding/editing a record (during cataloging)</h3>
36
	
37
<p>The Bibliographic editor allows queries to the authority file at the add/edit stage of a record, so that cataloging staff can create the links between a bibliographic and authority record when they are cataloging.</p>
38
<p>If you wish to provide access to authority records for a given subfield -- MARC 21's 700a subfield, for instance, to make sure an author's name is available in an added entry in its approved form -- you will need to create a subfield &quot;9&quot; for that tag (e.g. tag 700, subfield 9).&nbsp; This is done by adding the subfield via the 'Authority types' administration module.</p>
39
	<ul>
40
		<li><em>Get there:</em> More &gt; Administration &gt; Authority types
41
		<ul>
42
			<li>
43
		    <span style="background-color: #ffe599">
44
TIP: Make sure this subfield is managed in the same tab as the other managed subfields for this tag, and then click the &quot;hidden&quot; checkbox so it will not be displayed with the rest of the record</span>.</li>
45
		</ul></li>
46
	</ul>
47
<p>Koha uses subfield 9 to store the link between a bibliographic record and an authority record.</p>
48
49
<p>When the catalogers are adding a record, they will see three dots (...) after the textbox of the 700a subfield (or any field you have chosen to add a subfield 9 to). Clicking on these dots will open a pop-up window allowing the cataloger to search your authority records for a standardized version of the author's name. If the desired name is found in your authority records, it can be automatically copied into the 700a subfield. (If the desired name is not found, the cataloger can enter the name manually.)</p>
50
51
<h3>Auto-detection of authority records when a record is saved</h3>
52
53
<p>Alternatively, the library can opt into the auto-detection of authority records when a record is saved.&nbsp; This is done by turning the 'BiblioAddsAuthorities' system preference on.</p>
54
	<ul>
55
		<li><em>Get there:</em> More &gt; Administration &gt; Global preferences &gt; Authorities &gt; BiblioAddsAuthorities</li>
56
	</ul>
57
58
<h3>Library-maintained authority records</h3>
59
60
<p>A third option allows libraries to maintain their own authority records based on the dataset; many libraries prefer not to enable that option because it creates 'ghost' authority records in the system. It's up to the library (or group) which options to enable, or disable.</p>

<p>Circulation is where items are check out and in to patrons. Some libraries use different nomeclature for these functions.</p>
5
<p>Circulation functions can be accessed in several different ways. On the main page of the staff client there are some quick links in the center of the page to check items out, in or transfer them. For a complete listing of Circulation functions you can visit the Circulation page which is linked from the top left of every page or from the center of the main page.</p>

11
<li><strong>Transfer</strong> = used to change the holding branch of an item</li>
12
<li><strong>Holds</strong> = items that patrons have placed a request on (called &quot;reserves&quot; in some libraries - not to be confused with &quot;Course Reserves&quot; used in academimc libraries)</li>

<h2>What is a &quot;Printer Profile&quot;?</h2>
5
<p>A profile is a set of "adjustments" applied to a given template just prior to printing which compensates for anomalies unique and peculiar to a given printer (to which the profile is assigned). This means if you set a template up and then print a sample set of data and find that the items are not all aligned the same on each label, you need to set up a profile for each printer to make up for the differences in printing styles, such as the shifting of text to the left, right, top or bottom.</p>
6
6
7
<p>A printer profile is where you setup adjustments for label offset and creep (also known as printer calibration).</p>
7
<p>If your labels are printing just the way you want, you will not need a profile.</p>
8
<p>Depending upon the printer you use and even the tray within the printer you use, the text on labels may be offset so that it does not appear correctly on the labels.
8
9
Even once the offset (usually measured from the upper left-hand corner) is correct, the text may appear to "creep" -print correctly on some labels, but slowly move off of other labels.
9
<h2>Add a Profile</h2>
10
A printer profile will allow you to provide a per printer per tray per label template correction for these symptoms.</p>
10
11
11
<p>To add a new profile, you want to click on the 'Profiles' button at the top of your page and choose 'New Profile'</p>
12
<h2>How do I setup a Printer Profile?</h2>
12
13
13
<p>Using the form that appears you can create a profile to fix any problems with your template.</p>
14
<h3>Creating a Printer Profile</h3>
14
15
<p>
15
<ul>
16
<ol>
16
	<li>The Printer Name and Paper Bin do not have to match your printer exactly, they are for your reference so you can remember what printer you have set the profile for. So if you want to use the Printer model number in printer name or you can call it 'the printer on my desk'</li>
17
<li>First note: You can only create Printer Profiles for existing label templates.</li>
17
	<li>Template will be filled in once you have chosen which template to apply the profile to on the template edit form</li>
18
<li>Provide a printername and a tray name for your Profile. Note: You can only have a single instance of printername-trayname per label template.</li>
18
	<li>The Units pull down is used to define what measurement scale you're going to be using for your profile.&nbsp;</li>
19
<li>Then select a label template from the pull-down list of templates.</li>
19
	<li>Offset describes what happens when the entire image is off center either vertically or horizontally and creep describes a condition where the distance between the labels changes across the page or up and down the page
20
<li>Next set the horizontal and vertical offset. Be sure to use numbers which correspond to the units you specify at the bottom of the form. Negative values are permitted.</li>
20
<ul>
21
<li>Last set the horizontal and vertical creep. Be sure to use numbers which correspond to the units you specify at the bottom of the form. Negative values are permitted.</li>
21
	<li>For these values, negative numbers move the error up and to the left and positive numbers move the error down and to the right</li>
22
<li>Click on the 'Save' button at the bottom of the form to save your new profile.</li>
22
	<li>Example: the text is .25" from the left edge of the first label, .28" from the left edge of the second label and .31" from the left edge of the third label. This means the horizontal creep should be set to .03" to make up for this difference.</li>
23
</ol>
23
</ul>
24
</p>
24
</li>
25
25
</ul>
26
<h3>Applying a Printer Profile</h3>
26
27
<p>
27
<p>After saving, your profiles will appear on the 'Manage Profiles' page.</p>
28
<ol>
28
29
<li>After creating a Printer Profile, it must be applied to a particular label template. Note: You can only apply one Printer Profile to a given label template at a time.</li>
29
<p>Once you have saved your new profile, you can return to the list of templates and choose to edit the template that this profile is for.</p>
30
<li>Edit the label template you want to apply a profile to.</li>
30
31
<li>On the edit form and in the left-hand column, you will see a "Printer Profile:" field.</li>
31
32
<li>If one or more Printer Profiles are defined for this label template, you will see a pull-down control allowing you to select from a list of available Printer Profiles for that label template.</li>
32
33
<li>Select the profile you want to be applied to the label template at this time. Remember: Only one Printer Profile can be applied at any given time.</li>
33
<!-- TMPL_INCLUDE name="help-bottom.inc" -->
34
<li>If the "Printer Profile:" field reads "None Defined" this indicates that you will need to create at least one Printer Profile for this label template in order to apply a Printer Profile to this label template.</li>
35
</ol>
36
</p>
37
38
<h3>Tips to Remember When Adjusting a Printer Profile</h3>
39
<p>
40
<ol>
41
<li><b>All</b> of these factor in to image position and creep. Keep this in mind when making adjustments.</li>
42
<li>Adjust margins until both top and left margins are correct.</li>
43
<li>Then adjust the label height and width to correct label creep across and down page.</li>
44
<li>Negative offset units cause overall image movement up and to the left. Positive offset units cause overall image movement down and to the right.</li>
45
<li>Negative creep units cause shrinkage of the overall image. Positive creep units cause enlarging of the overall image.</li>
46
</ol>

<p>A template is based on the label/card stock you are using. This might be Avery 5160 for address labels, Gaylord 47-284 for spine labels or Avery 28371 for your patron cards, just to give a couple of examples. These labels will include all of the information you will need for setting up a Koha, this information may be on the packaging, and if not it can usually be found on the vendor's website.</p>

<h2>How do I print Labels using this feature?</h2>
5
<p>The Label Creator allow you to use layouts and templates which you design to print a nearly unlimited variety of labels including barcodes. Here are some of the features of the Label Creator module:</p>
6
6
7
<p>The sequence of steps is:</p><ol><li>Define a Layout</li><li>Define a Layout Template</li><li>Merge a Layout and Layout Template via the Label Batch&nbsp;</li></ol><h2>What is a &quot;Layout&quot;?</h2>
7
<ul>
8
	<li>Customize label layouts</li>
9
	<li>Design custom label templates for printed labels</li>
10
	<li>Build and manage batches of labels</li>
11
	<li>Export single or multiple batches</li>
12
	<li>Export single or multiple labels from within a batch</li>
13
	<li>Export label data in one of three formats:
14
<ul>
15
	<li>PDF - Readable by any standard PDF reader, making labels printable directly on a printer&nbsp;</li>
16
	<li>CSV - Export label data after your chosen layout is applied allowing labels to be imported in to a variety of applications</li>
17
	<li>XML - Included as an alternate export format</li>
18
</ul>
19
</li>
20
</ul>

<p>A layout is where you define what will print on the label. For example for a spine label you may choose the Classification Number. </p>
22
<p>At the top of each screen within the Label Creator, you will see a toolbar allowing quick access to relevant functions. The menu to the left of each screen also allows easy access to the different sections of the Label Creator. The breadcrumb trail near the top of each screen will give specific indication as to where you are within the Label Creator module and allow quick navigation to previously traversed sections. And finally, you can find more detailed information on each section of the Label Creator by clicking the online help link at the upper left-hand corner of every page.</p>

<h2>What is a &quot;Layout Template&quot;?</h2>
24
<p>The developers of the Label Creator module hope you will find this an extremely useful tool in the course of your cataloging work. You are encouraged to submit any enhancement requests as well as any bugs via Koha Project Bugzilla.</p>
12
25
13
<p>A layout template is the dimensions of the sheet you are using. You will need to either acquire the dimensions from the label supplier, or measure them accurately.</p><p>Layout Templates will need to be defined for each type of Label sheet or page you wish to print to.  </p>
26
<h2>Templates</h2>
14
27
15
<h2>What is a &quot;Label Batch&quot;?</h2>
28
<p>A template is based on the label/card stock you are using. This might be Avery 5160 for address labels, Gaylord 47-284 for spine labels or Avery 28371 for your patron cards, just to give a couple of examples. These labels will include all of the information you will need for setting up a Koha, this information may be on the packaging, and if not it can usually be found on the vendor's website.</p>
16
29
17
<p>A label batch is where you take your Layout, Layout Template and merge with the items you wish to create the labels for.</p><p>Once the merge has been completed,  a PDF will be generated that can be used to print the labels.</p> 
30
<h2>Profiles</h2>
31
32
<p>A profile is a set of "adjustments" applied to a given template just prior to printing which compensates for anomalies unique and peculiar to a given printer (to which the profile is assigned). This means if you set a template up and then print a sample set of data and find that the items are not all aligned the same on each label, you need to set up a profile for each printer to make up for the differences in printing styles, such as the shifting of text to the left, right, top or bottom.</p>
33
34
<p>If your labels are printing just the way you want, you will not need a profile.</p>
35
36
<h2>Layouts</h2>
37
38
<p>A layout is used to define the fields you want to appear on your labels.</p>
39
40
<h2>Batches</h2>
41
42
<p>Batches are made up of the barcodes you would like to print. Once in this tool you can search for the item records you would like to print out labels for.</p>
