Hi! On the road to koha, we have successfully import bibliographic records and authorities. Now, we have to import items record and problems begin . In our ILS, items are in a separate table. As we have not many options for export, i've tried to make a csv file and worked with marc edit (delimited text translator). I've followed the differents steps but i don't succeed to have a correct marc file. here is what i have for example =LDR 00000nam a2200000Ia 45e0 =995 \\$x =995 \\$f =995 \\$o =995 \\$n =995 \\$v =008 120910s9999\\\\xx\\\\\\\\\\\\000\0\und\d =LDR 00000nam a2200000Ia 45e0 =995 \\$x =995 \\$f =995 \\$o =995 \\$n =995 \\$v =008 120910s9999\\\\xx\\\\\\\\\\\\000\0\und\d =LDR 00000nam a2200000Ia 45e0 =995 \\$x =995 \\$f =995 \\$o =995 \\$n =995 \\$v =008 120910s9999\\\\xx\\\\\\\\\\\\000\0\und\d =LDR 00000nam a2200000Ia 45e0 =995 \\$x =995 \\$f =995 \\$o =995 \\$n =995 \\$v =008 120910s9999\\\\xx\\\\\\\\\\\\000\0\und\d What i don't understand is i've good mapped my file but something miss.

patron internet usage timer add-on
by ShaneGreen 10 Sep '12

10 Sep '12

Odd question, but here goes. . . The librarians would like to be able to scan a user's library card and have it turn on their internet access for a set amount of time. They want to limit a patron to 2 hours of internet time per day. So the program would need to verify the user hasn't used up their time. Turn on internet access to one of the patron computers. Then turn off access when the time is up. Much like they do in some internet cafes. Does anyone know of something available? Even an open source php script that times computer usage I could hammer into a usable add-on? I've tried a ton of searches, but I'm not even sure what you'd call that type of software. -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/patron-internet-usage-timer-add-on-tp5725… Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Help Finding Id Card Printer for Our School
by Sabina Schechter 10 Sep '12

10 Sep '12

Hello Koha Forum members, Our school has begun to use Koha for the library computer system software and we are also planning to use the Koha patron card creator to make library and student/ staff id cards for our school. We need to pick out an id card printer from a company like Evolis, Zebra, Fargo or Datacard but dont have much experience in choosing a printer that would work well with Koha. Does anyone have any suggestion for our school, and does anyone know if it matters what printer we get, will they all work with the patron card creator? we are a small school and really just need a double sided printer with low print volume but high quality. any feedback or advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

3.8.4 Error message when editing authorities
by Elaine Bradtke 09 Sep '12

09 Sep '12

This is what I get when I edit an authority record. No major edit, I only added a space after an initial.: "An error has occurred! Error 500 In Koha this typically means that the Koha team is working on new features Wait while system maintenance is being done or email the Koha administrator. Use top menu bar to navigate to another part of Koha." If you go back to look at the MARC the change is there, but when it displays in the hit list after searching authorities, it displays the old version. Does this mean we're still having indexing problems? -- Elaine Bradtke Data Wrangler VWML English Folk Dance and Song Society | http://www.efdss.org Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 (This number is for the English Folk Dance and Song Society in London, England.
