hello all, Our Koha response time is too slow. We have 217062 biblio records, 289026 items, and with zebra index. When I use keyword to search, it spent almost 30s for the slowest one, the averige is 10s. Is there anyone who has ever met this situation and solved the issue? OS: Ubuntu 12.04 Koha version: 3.06.02.000 Any help. Thought, direction would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Removing unused icons from Koha
by Owen Leonard 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Koha is distributed with over 1000 small image files which are not used in a default installation. I have submitted a patch to remove these for the sake of simplicity and in order to reduce the overall size of Koha. It has been speculated that some of these icons may be in use by libraries who have customized their installations, so I ask this of my fellow Koha libraries: Are you using any images in the /opac-tmpl/lib/famfamfam/ folder and its subfolders in your customized OPAC? Are there objections to removing these? Thanks, Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org

Koha - Red Hat question
by Hartman, David W. - GBTS Library 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

All, We saw the Koha wiki and Red Hat looked pretty straight forward…. I hear rumors that it is not recommended to run Koha on Red hat .. Can anyone share best practices on Red Hat and Koha From: Callaghan, Michael D. Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2013 8:55 AM To: Hartman, David W. - GBTS Library Subject: RE: Koha meeting today Do you know what version of Red Hat we have here? The Koha wiki shows that getting it running under 6.x should be pretty straightforward. http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Redhat_Enterprise_6

Question on Cataloguing Graduate Thesis
by Chris Nighswonger 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Every year our library receives a single binding which includes copies of all graduate theses submitted and accepted for various degree programs. The question has arisen: Where/how do you catalog multiple graduate theses in a single binding in dewey/loc/foobar? Although the immediate problem begs separate bindings for each thesis, this will probably not happen. Besides, there would be nearly 40 volumes which would not follow that format in any case. Our cataloguers would be very appreciative of any pointers, suggestions, etc. Kind Regards, Chris

Printing Labels has been a significant headache for me. I get errors or blank .PDF if there are any diacritics in the file. I would be happy to take a look at the file if you send it to me or to the list. No promises that I can figure it out! Also, it would be helpful to know what layout you are using.

How often do upgrades happen to Koha?
by Hartman, David W. - GBTS Library 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

One final question... on average, how frequently is Koha updated (so I can determine support requirements if we have to move to Red Hat as opposed to Debian)? It looks from the schedule I see that every month there is an update. Is that true? As we mentioned in previous thread, our Corporate IT support will only support Red Hat so if I only need to update every 6 months or over, then that would be fine to have them support for that long interval. We are also looking at a hosted solution.... Thanks again for your time and patience! David W. Hartman

Re: [Koha] jsprint setup -
by Randall Rowe 08 Apr '13

Wow, now I understand why a lot of people repost. This took almost a full week from when I sent it until it hit the list. The reply to this post hit the list three days before this did. Kind of eliminates the ability to argue the top-post reply versus the bottom post reply to mailing lists when the order they get posted has nothing to do with time sent. The date on the original post is 3/29, I replied to it the day I saw it on the list 4/1 and that reply hit the list 4/7. That's some massive lag.....

If everything you do from this browser is going to be silently printed to the same printer, simply set up your printer prefs in FireFox. Then go to the about:config page and add a new boolean called "print.always_print_silent" and set it to true.

serials help
by JessWeitz 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

I am writing to you from a small public library in Southern Vermont, USA. We are about to launch a new 5 library consortium within the state using a shared Koha ILS. Over the coming years, many more public and academic libraries in the state will join our consortium. We are the only library that has used a serials module in the past (TLC) and will be setting up a lot of the records and predictions that will be used by the consortium. We are looking for a library that has been using Koha Serials for a resource to ask questions to as we set up this system... Thank you!
