Bulk patron anonymize/delete tool
by Tom Hanstra 15 Apr '12

15 Apr '12

I asked this once before and got no response. But hope springs eternal... Has anyone successfully used the "Patrons (anonymize, bulk-delete)" tool available in Koha? We have found neither to work as expected. It acts as if it *thinks* it is anonymizing and/or deleting but does not actually do it. Alternately, if that is known not to work, what might it take to bulk delete patrons at the database level? What kind of a mess will I leave behind if I simply delete patrons from the borrowers table? I assume a normal delete would check to make sure the patron does not have outstanding fines, checked out books, etc. Just whacking the borrowers table won't check those things. So what all else do I need to check before deletion?

Ping KUDOS

1. What does KUDOS stand for (the breakout of the acronym, if it is)? I presume Koha Users and Developers xxx xxx? 2. Is the Google group still active? https://groups.google.com/group/kudos-koha/ 3. Is the KUDOS site still intended to be active? http://kudos.koha-community.org/ -- Greg Lawson Rolling Hills Consolidated Library 1912 N. Belt Highway St. Joseph, MO 64506

Introduction and first questions
by Stephan Witoszynskyj 14 Apr '12

14 Apr '12

Hello, I'm from a small bilingual (German-Ukrainian) public library in Vienna/Austria. The library was established just a couple of months ago and it's been my task to find a suitable ILS. Obviously, I went for Koha. :-) The main reason being the support of Unicode and the costs. I have installed Koha 3.6.3 for testing. And after playing around a bit, some questions came up. * when cataloguing using Cyrillic alphabet, we would like to automatically generate corresponding 880 fields with transcribed/transliterated data. And thus ensure the correct linkage, reference counts, transcription and so on. Is there a way of doing this? * I've noticed that when I search authority records that have 880 fields, these fields are not being searched. How can I change this behavior? * will the unicode label printing problem be solved in the upcoming version of Koha (Bug 2246)? I hope these questions are not trivial and I haven't overlooked those points in the documentation. Thanks, Stephan ps: Koha is really impressive! Thanks to everyone who's been working on this project.

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. All donations are welcome at http://koha-community.org/kohacon12/sponsoring-kohacon12/ whether or not you choose a sponsorship package. First Full Monty sponsor: Tamil - http://www.tamil.fr/ Tamil met au service des bibliothécaires et des documentalistes son expertise en matière de déploiement de solutions logiciels Open Source. First Kind Hearts sponsor: Libriotech - http://www.libriotech.no/ About KohaCon12: KohaCon12 will be held in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, 5-7 June 2012, followed by the hackfest 9-11 June. This is a free conference for everyone interested in the Koha library system, which is Free and Open Source Software. There is no registration fee, but we will ask that attendees pre-register. Calls for papers, sponsors and registrations are posted on the website. Details (travel, hotels, agenda draft, etc) can be found linked from http://koha-community.org/kohacon12/ KohaCon12 is the fifth KohaCon, following last year's successful conference in India which brought together users and developers worldwide. KohaCon12 will feature an international slate of speakers (both Koha users and active Koha contributors) conducting presentations and workshops on a diverse range of topics. Talks will cover a range of topics from general experiences of Koha through to technical information on the various modules. -- MJ Ray (slef), member of www.software.coop, a for-more-than-profit co-op. http://koha-community.org supporter, web and library systems developer.

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

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.
