Resolution

Follow these steps within the Customization Manager to make changes to the Results Mapping formatting:

  1. In the Customization Manager, go to the Z39.50 tab. 
  2. Choose your server with the Select Server button in the upper left.
  3. Have a look at the Results Mapping portion of the page. The Koha settings Atlas draws information from the identifier on the MARC record. The entries that Atlas suggests are $o, $c, and $q. Notice how they correspond to the information in the MARC records.
  4. If you need different information to be displayed, like a shelf location ($c), you could add segments like a whole location. In Location, you could put $b|$c. The Identifier can even be changed to an entry like 998, with $m for the location. Experiment to see what works best for your institution.

For reference, here's the Atlas document on Koha.
