And that change will get picked up when the MARC records are reimported, yes?

The (pattern_map.lib) in that line suggests that there must be a library pattern map defined elsewhere in one of the properties files.  The simplest solution may be simply to remove the offending library's line from the pattern map.  That won't actually delete records from the closed library, but it will prevent it from showing up in the facets, which is probably the most important thing.

Now this a speed I can handle. :)

It'll be awhile before all items from the closed library work their way out of VuFind because I can't change the owning library in the ILS for items in transit (and inevitably some always get hung there for a while). I'd prefer just to be able to remove the library as a search filter to make the librarians happy.

All MARC records from the ILS are dumped nightly and re-imported into VuFind (for better or worse - better in this case).

The building line is:
building = 999m, (pattern_map.lib)

Thank you!

You've received some helpful information already, but here's a little extra background:

The building facet is populated when MARC data is indexed.  You can see exactly where it is coming from by examining import/marc.properties and import/marc_local.properties (any settings in the marc_local file override defaults in the marc file).

If the closed branch has had its data removed from your ILS, the simplest solution is probably to re-export your MARC records and then re-index them.  If the data hasn't been removed yet, you can change your import settings to ignore that value (I'll tell you how if you share your building line from the properties files), but really the better solution is to fix the data at the source and then reindex in VuFind.

I hope this is helpful - let us know if you need anything more!

Subject: [VuFind-General] source of building facet list

Hi,

I've inherited a VuFind installation and haven't had time to deconstruct it so I understand how it works (and, of course, don't have  time now...later this year).

One of our library branches has closed so I'm trying to figure out how to remove that library's entry from the building facet on the advanced search page. I've found a library list in Unicorn.ini and in marc.local.properties but neither one matches the list on the advanced search page. I've dug through the VuFind directories, referred to the documentation on vufind.org, and searched the lists but I can't figure out how the building list gets generated. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
chanel
