LoC started timing out for us yesterday afternoon, but is now working well again. NYPL (catnyp) times out 80% of the time in our experience, so we hardly ever use it. Best - Paul

Koha Upgrade
by mifantrax 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

HI all, i need your help. I am very new to koha. I have inherited a koha installation version 2.~ with many problems on the server, old version of ubuntu, full disk, and other issues. I have installed a new vm vith koha 3.8 on proxmox and seems to work perfect, however i would like to migrate the old database to the new instalation, is there a beginners way to do that ? Will exporting and importing the marcs work ? Are there any other config files that need to be migrated ? Is there a guide somewhere ? I have been searching the wiki and i was not able to find it. Please someone guide us in the right direction. Thanks -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-Upgrade-tp5739511.html Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

problems with the patron card creation (non-latin characters)
by Haik Zargaryan 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Dear friends, I am trying to create cards for our patrons. Yet, when I export the batch instead of the 'names' and 'surnames' some strange characters are retrieved. For example, ---- Name: Ô±Õ¢Ö€Õ¡Õ°Õ¡Õ´ÕμÕ¡Õ¶ Ô¶Õ¾Õ¡Ö€Õ© ÕŽÕ¡Õ¦Õ£Õ¥Õ¶Õ« ---- Maybe this is because the language is Armenian (a non-Latin script)? With the English names everything works fine. This is a very important issue for our library. Any ideas how to solve the problem? Thanks in advance, Haik.

subject heading authority control (MARC21)
by januszop＠gmail.com 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Dear Colleagues, This is a question about the use of authority records for controlling subject heading fields (6xx) in MARC21. In a standard Koha MARC21 installation the same set of authorities (PERSO_NAME, CORPO_NAME, MEET_NAME, UNIF_TITLE) is set up to control both the form headings (1xx/7xx/8xx) and subject headings (6xx). With this configuration the user, when searching by authorities ("Browse by author or subject" in OPAC or the librarian using "Authorities"), is unable to distinguish: is the heading used as a form heading or subject heading, e.g. when searching, by authorities, for "Shakespeare, William" the user would get both: records in which Shakespeare is used as responsibility and the records about Shakespeare (with Shakespeare in 600). For me and my libraries this is not satisfactory. Is anybody facing the same issue? So, a possible solution is to create a parallel set of authority types (like S_PER_NAME, S_COR_NAME, etc.), which nearly duplicates the number of authority types. This solution, however, has a number of drawbacks: 1) at least AuthoritiesMarc ::GuessAuthTypeCode function has to be modified, 2) drop-down lists with authority types in authority searches become unreasonably long (users suggest there should be only "By author", "By subject", no matter if it is a person, a corporate body or a meeting or whatsoever, and "By title"). This is how I am planning to resolve this, but maybe there is a better idea? Or any comments that would shed some light on this issue? Thank you very much!
