Prolem with setting 1.2.3.2 IndependantBranches
by Quoc Uy 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

I'm trying to install Koha for sharing for 20 branches libraries in my province. I " Prevent staff (but not superlibrarians) from modifying objects (holds, items, patrons, etc.) belonging to other libraries. " Now a staff can't check out, check in for patrons or items belongs to another library. It works great. But when a staff (not superlibrarians )search in catalog, he still can see results belong to another branches libraries and can edit item, change item's status (lost, damaged). I don't know it's a bug or i forgot somethings? In relations with this setting, i have changed some system preferences 1.5.3.6 Don't allow patron hold or check out from other branches. 1.11.1.6 Add a choice branches on search opac (really nice, when patrons can search only in their library ) 1.11.3.10 Limit patron search on their own branch 1.11.3.11 Alow hold on only their branch. I'm wondering, shoult we put a preference, limit staff search on their own branch. So they can't see items belong to another branches libraries and can't edit it. Thanks for reading. Best regardes!

Merging items on same record?
by Cab Vinton 17 Nov '12

17 Nov '12

Is there a way to merge different items on the same record? I know there's a way to merge bib records, but that doesn't apply here. My goal is to preserve the circ histories attached to the individual items. Thanks, Cab Vinton, Director Sanbornton Public Library Sanbornton, NH Life is short. Read fast!

OPAC open in new window problem
by clint.deckard 17 Nov '12

17 Nov '12

Kia ora, Your assistance would be appreciated. I have set the system pref OPACURLOpenInNewWindow to 'do' which should cause URLs to open in a new window in the OPAC, but this is not happening. I have added ebooks but the link does not open in a new window. I am using 3.8.6 Debian packages. I found a bug report 5522 relating to this issue but it states ebooks were not affected, just Google preview. Does this warrant another bug report or is it covered in bug 5522. Many thanks, Clint Deckard. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Humboldt discovering Koha
by Jenny Bellmann 17 Nov '12

17 Nov '12

Dear Koha-Community, dear list, dear colleagues we (the ZE Language Centre of Humboldt University Berlin) have chosen Koha to organize our library. We have been following this list with great interest for several months now. To give you a short idea of our activities so far: Most of the work is done with the cataloging module. Small parts of our collection - approximately 4000 titles - have been imported into Koha for testing purposes. Once we feel safe with that and the data has been prepared we´ll take the next step with adjusting the layout to the Humboldt Universities corporate design. We´re looking forward to sharing our experience with our users and of course with you, the community. Thanks to the questions and discussions in this list and the support of BSZ in Baden-Württemberg we had the chance to learn a great deal about koha already. We´ll keep on working and continue discovering with koha. Sincerely yours -- Jenny Bellmann ZE Sprachenzentrum HU-Berlin / Mediothek Unter den Linden 6, 10099 Berlin Sitz: Dorotheenstraße 65 Tel.: +49 30 2093 5041 mail: jenny.bellmann(a)hu-berlin.de

I have to answer a few questions for EBSCO and would like some direction- they want to screen scrape the OPAC */Does Koha's OPAC have a user session limit? and is there a limit to the number of users it accepts at one time? When does a session time time out? Is it possible to remove the user session limit or allow EBSCO a certain amount of current sessions?/* Thank you in advance for any help Lee in Butte -- Lee Miller Library Director BSB Public Library 226 W.

Koha Installationsparty in Wildau, 01.12.2012
by Mirko 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

~~~ Information available in German only ~~~ Koha Installationsparty 01.12.2012 17:00 Uhr TH Wildau / Bibliothek Bibliothekssystem Koha - eine denkbare Alternative? Im Rahmen einer Installationsparty wollen wir das freie Bibliothekssystem Koha gemeinsam installieren und einen ersten Blick in das System werfen. In gemeinsamer Diskussion soll erörtert werden, welche Probleme ein eigener Betrieb des Systems als Alternative zu einem bezahlten Hosting aufwirft und welche Art von Unterstützung notwendig wäre, um als Bibliothek diesen Schritt zu gehen. Ziel des Abends soll sein, dass alle Teilnehmenden mit einer laufenden Koha-Installation und neuen Ideen nach Hause gehen. Die Veranstaltung findet zeitgleich zur Schmökernacht in der Bibliothek der TH Wildau statt. Beginn ist 17 Uhr, das Ende ist offen. Für Verpflegung ist gesorgt und es gibt Ruheliegen. Die Bibliothek schließt erst am 02.12. um 11 Uhr. Die Anzahl der Plätze ist begrenzt auf 12 Personen. Für eine Teilnahme schreiben Sie bitte eine Mail an bibliothek(a)th-wildau.de. Ueber Koha: Koha ist ein professionelles Bibliothekssystem mit allen wesentlichen Modulen. Es ist 'free and open source software' und kann ohne Lizenzkosten genutzt werden. Es wird in mehreren tausend Bibliotheken weltweit eingesetzt. Die Benutzung ist vollständig browserbasiert, der moderne OPAC verfügt über eine Vielzahl von Web2.0-Features.
