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

Hi, I'm attempting to delete a bib record that has no items attached to it. However, once deleted the entry the record still appears in the catalogue search, and when I click on it then an error message appears saying that an error occurred .... So how do you delete unwanted records?? Thanks Jennifer Spencer Research Librarian The Centre for International Governance Innovation Waterloo, ON Canada
