Shortcut for Limiting Search by Library/Branch?
by Adams, Jason 24 Mar '12

24 Mar '12

I've read Nicole's Guide to Searching which is chock full of great shortcuts to use while performing a search in Koha; however, I'm not seeing a shortcut for limiting one's search to a specific library, which would be a GREAT help for us. Is there such a shortcut? (For example - "su:shakespeare and lo:northwest"). Thanks in advance to all who respond. Jason Adams, Library Assistant II Washoe County Library System

Troubleshooting Search Issue
by Cody 24 Mar '12

24 Mar '12

First of all, thanks to the community here, it has been an invaluable resource in helping me to install koha, and in getting everything off the ground. My problem exists in using the general search feature. I have no problem searching through the cataloging functions. Zebra seems to be completely fine working there, as it can do the Z39.50 searches, as well as search through my uploaded MARC files. The problem is, when I keyword or title search, or even barcode search through the main Search function (url ending in search.pl), I continually get "No Results Found". The items exist when I pull them up manually by barcode for instance, as in the checkin/checkout sections, or when I view the items attached to a MARC entry. Obviously my problem isn't specific enough for anyone to give a specific answer. I'm wondering if given my abilities to search through the Catalog functions, if anyone might be able to tell me where to begin searching out the solution to this problem. I guess I don't know enough about how search.pl works, to start troubleshooting. Specifically, I'm wondering if there are error logs that I might be able to search through. Zebra? MySQL? Apache? (Apache just shows deprecated memcache errors, but no errors regarding searches specifically). Thank you!!

Anyone in NZ keen for a Koha users group meeting?
by Hannah Benbow 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

Apologies for cross posting :) Hi other Koha users and fans! We're keen for another New Zealand Koha users group meeting - if you'd be interested in coming along, let me know so we can get an idea of interest. I've heard really great things about the last meeting hosted by the Horowhenua Library Trust and would be keen for something similar - an opportunity for users to talk about how to get the best out of Koha and to share their knowledge and ideas. If there's enough interest for this to proceed, then the Central Agencies Shared Services Information Management team would be happy to host it here at Treasury. Cheers, Hannah Hannah Benbow | Information Management Advisor - Collections | CASS | The Treasury Central Agencies Shared Services (CASS) at the Treasury delivers services to the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, State Services Commission and the Treasury.

Branch Specific System Preferences
by Chris Nighswonger 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

Recently the need has arisen locally to run the self-checkout (sco) under multiple user accounts to accommodate multiple branches using the sco module. To the best of my understanding this is not currently possible due to the way in which the user for the sco module is defined using a system preference. While there may be a number of ways to accomplish this, it seems that it may be desirable to have a category of "branch specific" system preferences. This would be an attempt to group system preferences into one of two general categories of "global" or "branch." Before launching out into writing such a feature, I thought I'd run it by both lists to see if a) I'm way off base, b) if such a feature is desirable, and c) if I'm off on an insanely hard project. Kind Regards, Chris
