Interested in Open Source ILS?
by Vandana Singh 07 Sep '12

07 Sep '12

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: *New website offers a starting point for librarians interested in Open Source Integrated Library Systems* * * Knoxville, TN, September 5, 2012 A new website, Open Source ILS (http://opensourceils.com) is now available as a resource for librarians and anyone interested in open source software integrated library systems (OSS ILS). The website is the product of a multi-year IMLS grant-funded study of technical support options for proprietary and open source ILS. It offers best practices gleaned from interviews with open source ILS adopters on subjects such as evaluating, migrating to, and customizing and maintaining these systems. While conducting their study, researchers found that although there are a number of resources available about OSS ILS, finding them is not easy and requires visits to several different websites to compile information. Open Source ILS is an effort to create a portal that will contain useful information about different systems and the steps necessary to migrate to these systems. This website is the first to consolidate resources on systems such as Evergreen and Koha in a single place. Links to additional information are included for each subject. These sources include vendor websites, community documentation, and technical support resources. Other features of the website include an internal blog, forum, and screencast tutorials. For more information, please visit the website at http://opensourceils.com. The School of Information Sciences at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, is recognized nationally and internationally as an interdisciplinary program of excellence in the information sciences. It is located at 451 Communications Building, 1345 Circle Park Drive, Knoxville, TN, 37996. -- Vandana Singh, PhD Assistant Professor, School of Information Sciences, University of Tennessee Knoxville, 449 Communications Bldg. 1345 Circle Park Drive Knoxville, TN 37996-0341 Email: vandana(a)utk.edu Website: www.vandanasingh.com

Koha: staff guides (for Pasifika Koha)
by Pamela Bidwell 06 Sep '12

06 Sep '12

Bula Koha members, A couple of weeks ago I announced Pasifika Koha on this list. The workshop is scheduled for Monday 10 September, and we now have 42 participants, so things are going very well so far. We have two streams - one for users and one for IT staff, and two programmes involving speakers, practical exercises and Skype calls. I am now asking for your help with a couple of things: 1. As Internet connections are very poor in most parts of this region, I want to share useful resources with those attending. Nicole Engard is sending some videos, but I am also looking for instructional staff files for common tasks like user registration, circulation, OPAC searches etc, ideally with screen shots. Staff desk manuals, or guides for users would be ideal. I have seen the documentation on the Koha community site, but I want to fill gaps. I am particularly interested in guides to OPAC searches, Acquisition functions and running common Reports. If you can point me to useful files that would be helpful. Videos are good, but bandwidth issues mean I can only download a few. You need to agree that what you send will be shared widely amongst Pacific Koha users (I will always fully acknowledge their source). If you can help please send me an email. We have the fastest Internet connections in this part of the world, but if you have many resources I am trying to arrange an ftp address for downloads (or bitTorrent - although I have only used that once...). 2. Also, can anyone send me records for bulk importing? I've never done that before either, so basic advice on how to do it would be helpful (although I will be watching the Bywater videos, of course). I need a good range of records so registrants can run OPAC searches. Thank you Pam Bidwell, Lecturer Library/Information Studies School of Education The University of the South Pacific Laucala Campus, Suva, FIJI Tel.

Dear Friends, We are trying to migrate data from SOUL to Koha. We exported data from SOUL as CCF and then converted to MARC 21. We are in final stage of marc conversion. One problem faced in this stage is copy a particular sub field data to another different marc field. How to joint or copy call number in 082$a to 952 ? Call number in 952$o is essential to display in OPAC. We are using MARCEdit for conversion and editing MARC. Please help us to solve this thing. I expect a detai Pls see the screen-shot to get the idea. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/oYoEA_QpOlNkcv0RtS7IMpJRmXGEYoVrq2c7d… Regards -- Vimal Kumar V.

A shell like bash needs those variables defined in its >scope to have them available. The scope of those variables defined in >the crontab includes JUST the commands run from the crontab (think of >it as a shell itself). I appreciate the theory that /etc/cron.d/koha (as I quoted it above) should|could|would pick up the variables KOHA_CONF, KOHAPATH and PERL5LIB In fact I think this worked for Koha 3.6.7 on Ubuntu 12.04 *i386* (from my notes, no errors; but that install has been trashed) -- but it does NOT work on either of our two 64 bit servers -- hence the need to add the 'export' lines to /home/koha.bashrc and make them available *before* the cron job is called. I have not had time to find out *why* the 32- and 64-bit builds possibly differ and satisfy my curiosity. All I've done is come up with a working solution and share it with this community -- with the caveat that YMMV and there might well be other [more elegant?] ways around it. Best - Paul
