recent acquisitions search function
by Nicole Hatch 22 Oct '04

22 Oct '04

Hello Koha, I think it's a really cool that Koha's main opac allows patrons to view recent acquisitions (acquired in the last 30 days). This works fine for my fiction and non fiction books, but for some reason it won't allow me to search Digital Videodisc and Video Cassette. Instead, it directs me to my server administrator. My administrator can't figure it out either. Has anyone else ever had this problem? Any suggestions? Below is the link to the user site. http://opac.ecla.int/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl Thanks, Nicole Nicole Hatch Programme Coordinator / Librarian European College of Liberal Arts Platanenstr. 24 13156 Berlin +49 30 4373 3124

[Fwd: circulation]
by Suzanne Gilbert 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

To Anyone Who Reads This: I sent this message to a person who has been able to help me with many koha problems. She is not circulating books yet and so has not be able to help. We are using version 1.2.3 at this time. We can't remember which version we were using last year. We could have possibly been using 1.2.2 last year. I said in my original e-mail that we are using the latest version of koha. We had installed the 2.0.0 version over the summer, but I was having problems with the tag structure and so Robert installed 1.2.3 If anyone out there is using 1.2.3 and can help solve this circulation problem, it will be much appreciated. Thanks, Suzanne

Full Arabic Translation
by Mohamed Amin 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

Hi everybody, I'd like to announce that we have finished a full Arabice translation for Koha-1.2.3 It is now installed in the State Information Service - Resources Center "www.sis.gov.eg", the system is available for internal use untill now. It has been tested and accepted by the library professionals in Egypt. My team and I are working currently in the translation of Koha-2.0. Also I'm working with some decision makers in the biggest libraries in Egypt in order to have thier support, as we are thinking of making Koha the default library system for governomental libraries. I'm expecting a lot of your support and wish you good luck. All the best. Mohamed Amin Software Systems Engineering University of Regina Regina SK, S4S 0A2 Canada Tel: +1(306) 337-8049

evaluation Koha 2.1.2
by Christian Calle 28 Sep '04

28 Sep '04

Hello brothers. They are brilliant, I am reviewing vers. 2,1,2, which profit not to understand is: Because the generator of bar code does not work to me? Because in the directory/en/barcodes/is the archives (barcodes-bottom.inc/barcodes-top.inc)? It is by that it does not allow me to enter to the function from the process of parameters? They are brilliant, thanks. Atte Christian Calle ccalle(a)umsa.bo University of San Andres

Salvete! Here's what's in our server. The components were bought in February, and I bought one of the harddrives just yesterday for easy backup. It's overpowered, which is how I like it. They were bought from AllStarShop.com, I like those folks a lot. They are an eense more expensive than NewEgg, but NewEgg will not deal with government folks on a PO basis. Intel Pentium 4 2.66GHz 533MHz FSB w/ 512KB Kingston 1GB KIT DDR400 PC3200 CL3 (3-3-3) DIMM Codegen CAT-3307-CA Mid/Mini Tower ATX 350W PSU 2 ENERMAX 80mm Adjustable Speed Case Fans Mitsumi 1.44MB 3.5" Internal Floppy Drive Silver (This I bought because Hinsdale still has many things on 3.5" format. It had nothing to do with Koha) Samsung 52x32x52 Internal CD-RW Drive ATAPI 2 Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 80GB 7200RPM 8MB Buffer SATA HDD (Drive Only) Asus P4P800 i865PE P4 ATX Audio/GbLAN/SATA/RAID/AGP8X This set up minus one hard drive was 675 then. It's probably WAY cheaper now, although you could get much better stuff for the same price now. >Any ideas on some sort of other name for the Breeding Farm? It seems to >cause confusion, for one, and I had have a longtime sneaking suspicion it >doesn't work well when translated. How about temporary records? BTW, how does one get all of the breeding farm out? IE copy then delete? Brooke @ Hinsdale

OLC Annual Conference Docs
by Joshua Ferraro 28 Sep '04

28 Sep '04

Hi everyone, I've finally finished my conference handout and Koha presentation slides/notes for the OLC conference on Wednesday (http://http://www.olc.org/ann_conf.asp) and they are available on my website: Slides: http://kados.org/LibraryScience/presentations/OLC2004/koha.html (looks best in Mozilla; http://mozilla.org) Notes: http://kados.org/LibraryScience/presentations/OLC2004/koha-notes.html Handout: http://kados.org/LibraryScience/presentations/OLC2004/koha_at_a_glance.pdf (there's an html version too: http://kados.org/LibraryScience/presentations/OLC2004/koha_at_a_glance.html) There'a also a Freemind mindmap that basically contains the same general information as the handout ... but in a mindmap format: http://kados.org/LibraryScience/koha.mm http://kados.org/LibraryScience/koha.mm.html (if you don't have Freemind you can use your browser--or download http://sourceforge.net/projects/freemind) I've also put together a static Koha resources page with a few more resources listed than on the handout (due to space constraints) that I plan to point folks to for further info (since the official one isn't ready yet): http://kados.org/LibraryScience/koha.html There's still one day before the conference so if anyone has any suggestions for improving anything let me know--if you know of any resources I've not listed please drop me a note. And feel free to use and modify anything as it's all CC licensed (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/1.0/) I'm going to try to videotape the Koha presentation, our Linux Installfest and our Kohafest ... so hopefully that'll be forthcoming too. Finally, if I have time I'll spruce up the docs I've written and get them out later today ... we'll see how that goes. Joshua Ferraro
