The Google Analytics Opt-out tool is available at <https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout>. We did a packet-sniffing check on it a few months ago, and it appeared to do what it promised -- so we installed it throughout out organization. There is a somewhat positive side-effect in that it tends to speed up browsing, sometimes quite considerably.

26 May '12

When we import the data then few info fields are not imported. If we import the same data then there are 2 records of same books in 1 bibliographic records. For Eg: if import the data of books then this fields are in properly imported (barcode , place, publisher, author , title) but when we try to import previous fields and feilds such as ( Page no, summary, year , public note) then there is 2 item types in 1 bibliographic entry. -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Data-Import-problem-tp5714113.html Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Problem in connecting to z3950 server
by sushant panigrahi 26 May '12

26 May '12

Dear All In the cataloguing when I click the "z39.50 Search" button a pop up window appears that says "Z39.50 Search Points" at the top and has a few fields to fill out with search terms like "Title:" and "ISBN:" and a few "Search targets" at the bottom, of which the LOC target is checked. When I search anything, however, the search fails and we can tell from the browser pop up window that the browser is looking at the local host (127.0.1.1). After a short while a message appears that says: "Connection failed to z3950.loc.gov" Can anyone tell us what we need to do or point us to a page that can help us to connect to z3950.loc.gov?
