Dear Adalid This is regard to the converting excel file to MARC format by using MARCEDit software. I am able to migrate single copy, can you guide me how to do single title with multiple items/copies in MARC Edit software.

The hold queue does a few things. 1. It has a cron job that runs periodically, regenerating the list. 2. The list is weighted based on a couple of system preferences. This becomes important in consortia where you might want one library to be preferred over another (to, say, keep a small library with a great collection from being utterly inundated with hold requests, for example) 3. The layout is a little nicer. Holds to Pull does the following: 1. Shows every hold across all libraries 2. Shows which libraries have copies of an item that can fill a hold (unlike the hold queue, which picks a specific library's item) 3. Is useful, but not in the same way as the hold queue. If it helps you frame it, in Sirsi the Hold Queue was similar functionality to the Pick List. If you accept the default cron job, the build_holds_queue cron will run every hour. NEKLS chooses (for various reasons) to run it only 3 times a day. We use the holds queue exclusively for managing our holds. I hope this helps.

re: Server listening on 8080 You can crack open a command prompt and run: netstat -ano | findstr 8080 You should see output similar to: TCP 0.0.0.0:8080 0.0.0.0 LISTENING The 8080 part is the important info. It should have a status of "LISTENING". To show all listening ports: netstat -ano | findstr LISTENING Look for port 8080. If no 8080 -- there's your problem ( or, one of them ... ).

Maybe a "Koha on Windows" expert will need to chime in here ... But to me it sounds like you need to enable your web server to "listen" on port 8080. The method you use for enabling port 8080 depend on whether you're using IIS or Apache. As far as whether or not MySQL is running --- Check for a process called MySQL or mysqld in taskmanager - or - fire up services.msc and check there if you prefer. Should be able to check with 'sc query' as well. I don't think your OPAC would come up if MySQL weren't running. Sounds like your server is not "listening" on 8080. Good luck!

Request for Koha Data for Development by Chris Nighswonger A common problem among those of us who do development work on Koha is the lack of complete datasets for the development and testing of features. This is probably more of a problem for those of us who do not support a large variety of organizations running Koha. I would like to see some good, sanitized datasets available for development and testing. Several of us have pleaded for this for years. Just now, the lack of a good dataset including a sizable number of serials is preventing me from doing some testing and development on DataTables integration work, which has been started by Biblibre. So, this is a request to all of you libraries out there with small, medium, or large datasets who would be willing to contribute sanitized data for development purposes, to do so. It would be a great way to give back to the community that has provided such a wonderful product with all of its attendant benefits.

Bob Birchall reports: One of the exciting aspects of the Hackfest was that a Koha training course was conducted for about 36 local librarians and students. Run over two days, the course covered all major features of Koha. Trainers were Jo Ransom (New Zealand), Marijana Glavica (Croatia), Irma and Bob Birchall (Australia) and Savitra Sirohi (India); Brooke Johnson (US) helped out and ByWater Solutions provided the training Koha instance – a real international effort! It was a pleasure to teach these librarians who were so hungry for knowledge of Koha. Also during the Hackfest the translation of Koha into Hindi was progressed and translation into Marathi started. Congratulations to the staff and students of VPM Thane for this outstanding contribution to Koha. Robin Sheat reports: A few of us got together to work on improving Koha’s Open Library integration. On the OL side there was Noufal Ibrahim and Anand Chitipothu. From the Koha side, Dobrica Pavlinušić, Ian Walls, Savitra Sirohi, and I spent time discussing how to make things work. I then spent much of the hackfest adding features to Koha that would allow Open Library to become something of a central cover repository with streamlined uploading to it. At the same time, Anand was working on the APIs on the OL side that Koha would talk to to make this easy. This project is still a work in progress, but the current state can be seen at http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7152. For more stuff about the Open Library + Koha integration that went on, have a look at Noufal’s blog post at http://blog.openlibrary.org/?p=954.
