The hosts of KohaCon12 are pleased to announce the first sponsors of this year's event. Thanks to both sponsors for sponsoring kohacon12 to be hosted in Edinburgh this June by software.coop, the Library Co-op and Butte-Silver Bow Public Library – you've helped to make the conference a bit better and we really appreciate it! We are still looking for organisations who are prepared to show their support for Koha by making a financial contribution towards the cost of the conference. We aim to make the conference as accessible as possible so there is no registration fee for delegates, which means that we rely on the generosity of sponsors to make the event a success.

Cite/Export widget from OCLC
by Lenora Oftedahl 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Just to get a general idea to quote to those fussing at me about being able to have citations readily available for researchers...what would be the cost to have the OCLC citation widget adapted into Koha? Or something similar. I'm just looking for a round figure,VERY rough estimate. http://www.oclc.org/nextspace/016/tipsandtricks.htm Or this one? http://www.oclc.org/developer/applications/cite Thanx Lenora StreamNet Regional Librarian Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission

Re: [Koha] add new record in Koha
by Joe 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Here is another quick tutorial I made using a different Koha version that had a different ordering proces. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21733088/2nd%20Acquisitions%20Demo%20-%20Different%… used the free screen capture program: "Wink" Created by DebugMode.) If you don't have an item type set go into the Administrator menu and add an item type. Click on the "More" drop down menu and select Administration. Under Basic Parameters choose Item Type. Click on New Item Type. In the "Item Type" box enter the Name of the Item Type. Enter a Description for the item type and click "Save Changes". Now you should be able to choose an Item Type in the Koha Item Type selection box. -Joe- On Thu, Apr 12, 2012 at 3:14 AM, shahas rahman <shahas.sss(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi,,Joe,, > Sorry for disturbing u,, > > In my koha,,am getting error while placing order,,(becs of entry in field > 'Item'(i set it as while placing order)). > If i set item entry in receving from System Preference,,( asking for 'item > ' while receving,,, in this case i can place order) > > so records are not creating,,please help > > > On Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 7:58 PM, Joe <jbalway(a)gmail.com> wrote: > >> Here is a quick tutorial I made on using the Acquisitions module in Koha. >> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21733088/Acquisitions%20Demo.htm >> >> -Joe- >> >> >> On Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 12:09 AM, shahas rahman <shahas.sss(a)gmail.com>wrote: >> >>> Hi,,thank u for reply,, >>> >>> Everything is OK till step#2. >>> I have doubt about creating item or Record,,,(is it required to do any >>> configuration in 'Add Marc Record'?? for creating item) >>> >>> please help me to proceed,, >>> >>> >>> On Tue, Apr 10, 2012 at 7:41 PM, Joe <jbalway(a)gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>>> The Koha Manuals are full of this kind of information.

Introduction & Help
by Zachary Osborne 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Hi everyone, My name is Zack and I'm the Librarian the Toronto Botanical Garden's Library. I've recently installed Koha (version 3.06.02.003). I don't consider myself to be very tech-savvy, so I'm optimistic that I will be able to learn a lot from you, and from the Koha documentation. My library currently uses InMagic DB/TextWorks as its Intergrated Library System (ILS) for cataloguing and circulation. I am desperate to migrate the ILS from InMagic to Koha, and am very excited to do so. I've read a few threads about the InMagic to Koha conversion, and am hopeful this will get me through the migration of its records and patron data. So far I've downloaded MarcEdit, and have exported the InMagic catalogue records as a CSV file. The next step is to map the fields from InMagic to the MARC framework before uploading to Koha. Has anyone else done this type of conversion before, from InMagic to Koha? Thanks, and I look forward to everything Koha has to offer! -Zack Zachary Osborne Head Librarian Toronto Botanical Garden 777 Lawrence Avenue East Toronto, Ontario M3C 1P2 T 416-397-1375 F 416-397-1354 E librarian(a)torontobotanicalgarden.ca <mailto:librarian@torontobotanicalgarden.ca> W www.torontobotanicalgarden.ca <http://www.torontobotanicalgarden.ca/>

KUDOS 2012
by Jim Maroon 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Hey, y'all. I wanted to attend KUDOS last year, but at the time we had not definitively selected Koha as our ILS (although I knew in my heart we would), so the higher ups nixed the idea. So, I was looking forward to this year... until I saw a somewhat cryptic email on the list that said there would be no KUDOS 2012. I want to ignore it but my head won't let it go. Is there a particular reason why? Or is it just that nobody has signed on to host the thing? Feel free to write me off-list if this is a sensitive subject. Thanks. --Jim Maroon storypage(a)gmail.com -- ================================================== "The man, who, by his own and his family's labour, can provide a sufficiency of food and raiment and a comfortable dwelling place, is not a poor man." --William Cobbett, *Cottage Economy*, 1826.
