I'm looking to alter this report http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library#Total_Collection_Si… to give me the count of items that were in the collection on that date - that means checking the deleted items to see what was added and deleted on the date that's entered and that's where my math gets a bit rusty. Thanks in advance! Nicole

Need Barcode Wisdom
by Gwyan Rhabyt 10 Mar '12

10 Mar '12

I'm migrating a small elementary school library from Follett to Koha. All has gone well until now. Our problem is a mismatch between the barcodes as read by the scanner which give readings like T 3210 and our biblios in Koha which have the codes like T0003210. At first I thought it was the Follett 3800 scanner that was dropping the zeros, but a new generic scanner reads the same way. So what is the easiest fix? I can imagine four but none sound easy: 1) Reprogramming the scanner -- seems possible but the manual is written for a barcode expert (so many different formats and sub formats) -- how do I express the kind of change I want to make in the language of scanner firmware? 2) Batch changing the biblios from within Koha -- it seems to support batch work but you have to list the items. I can't work out how to make it change every single record. 3) Batch changing via the MySQL database -- I don't know SQL, so there is a serious learning curve 4) Going back to the MARC records, massing the barcode field there and then reimporting -- I don't know how easy that would be in MarcEdit and I am loathe to go that many steps backwards. Could anyone provide some wisdom to help?

For folk making travel arrangements to Edinburgh expecially from outwith the UK, its worth noting that the 4th and 5th of June are public/bank holidays in the UK which tend to impact travel.

Moving fields from tag to tag
by Stefano Bargioni 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

Hi, I need to change about 4000 records, moving a repeatable tag to another. Is there a tool to do this? Also a private Perl script can be useful to me. Zeno T. says there is a work in progress script for Koha 3.8. No way for me to find it in Bugzilla. Thanks. Stefano

Fwd: [LIS-Forum] Mysore University Koha OPAC on Mobile
by SANDEEP BHAVSAR 09 Mar '12

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ishwar Goudar <goudarishwar(a)googlemail.com> Date: Thu, Mar 8, 2012 at 7:39 PM Subject: [LIS-Forum] Mysore University OPAC on Mobile To: lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in, francis(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in Dear Professionals, I am happy inform you all that our University Library Web OPAC has gone the * mobile way*. We have adopted open source library automation system KOHA for all our house keeping activities including OPAC and the same has been made available in cloud hosting environment. Anybody can access our OPAC on *Mobile* at site http://mopac.mysore-univ.org/ To see what it looks like in a mobile phone, please use following site on your desktop/laptop: http://iphonetester.com/?url=http://mopac.mysore-univ.org/ Apple claims to have sold record number of Smart-phones smashing the the record of PC sales. The same has been the fate with Laptops and notebooks. ( http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/smartphone-sales-exceed-those-of-pcs-fo… ) Internet access through Mobile has become the order of the day. This being the case, I strongly feel that all of us should go the mobile way for our OPACs. Our patrons can use their mobile for reserving, renewing the documents and all related activities. We are working towards using Mobile SMSs for overdue reminders, informing the availability of reserved documents, documents purchased against requests, broadcasting important library related messages, etc. The automation model we have adopted is *-* Centralised database, decentralised inputting/ housekeeping activities and Universal access to OPAC. Once completed the OPAC will have > 10 Lakh records of documents available in colleges, institutes, PG Centres and various departments, which are directly under the control of Mysore University. We acknowledge OSS Labs, Bangalore for having given quality, timely and cost effective service to us in this matter. Probably ours is the first university library to go mobile way for OPAC (?). Please have a look at it and give your feedback, enabling us to improve the service. Regards, Dr. I.R.N.

z39.50 and holdings
by Seaman, Graham 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

Hi I need to query a Koha Z39.50 server (not one I manage or have access to). Bibliographic queries work fine, but I would also like to be able to retrieve holdings and availability data for items. Is it possible to set the Koha Z39.50 server to return Opac format, or return holdings data in any other way? Once I have some idea of what can be done I will approach the systems librarian and ask him if it can be set up, but I don't want to ask if it's not possible! Thanks for any advice Graham
