Cataloging in Koha for dummies
by library＠ssst.edu.ba 21 Mar '23

21 Mar '23

Hi everyone, I'm writing to ask for some help cataloging in Koha. I am having trouble getting it to save any records without Koha throwing up errors, and while I'm trying to follow the manual, I'm afraid the amount of information there is overwhelming. Especially as it's been so long since I used any marc bibliographic formats. So, I created a new framework based on the default one and named it Books, Booklets, Workbooks. I had tried importing records via Z39.50 and had no success in saving the record because of the errors (especially Tab 4 Series. I then tried and adding them manually, where I only filled in the relevant fields - I do not need e.g. the music incipit or a fingerprint identifier for a hardcopy textbook. It s not possible to delete tags I don't need within the BBW framework. The fields I have in our current system are the following; it's very minimal: Author – person Author – corporate body Title Type of material Media object URL Language Publish date Publication and manufacture Physical description Other authors – person Content ISBN Notes Subject headings Uncontrolled subject terms UDC For each material copy, I can add the status (for outside loan or reading room use, lost, withdrawn), location, call number, and inventory number. How do I customize my framework so I can add my textbooks quickly and easily? Are there any sections of the manual I should look into more closely? Thank you in advance!

Importing MARC records
by letterbox＠daladi.com 21 Mar '23

21 Mar '23

In 'Cataloging -> Stage MARC records for import' I have tried staging 3 marc files for import. When I go to 'Manage staged MARC records', this screen is empty. However, jobs for each import appear in the 'Administration -> Jobs' screen. Should I see something on the 'Manage staged MARC records' screen? Any advice appreciated.

Re: [Koha] Koha Identity Provider Setup (Katrin Fischer)
by Agostino M. Nigro 21 Mar '23

21 Mar '23

Hey Karin, I was able to get it setup with ADFS eventually (through trial and error) but was having issues with the scopes and matching of claims to Koha. I have been able to login to Koha OPAC with ADFS as the identity provider, but upon login no claims are transferred to Koha resulting in no names or information being passed to Koha. I would love to help with documentation of the Koha Identity Providers System since it does seem no other documentation has been completed for it.

LongOverdue cronjob
by Ms. Naveen Ali 20 Mar '23

20 Mar '23

Dear All, I want to test the longOverdue script, but can't figure out where the longOverdue.pl is run by the crontab. Is it scheduled as part of the default installation of Koha as a lot of other scripts found in koha-common. I can't find it in any koha-common file. The script says that it is designed to be run nightly, but I don't see it implementing the " cronjob_nightly " method. The Global system Preferences states that " NOTE: This system preference requires the misc/cronjobs/ longoverdue .pl cronjob. Ask your system administrator to schedule it." Do I have to schedule it myself ? With best regards, Naveen Ali ITM-JE (EAKL) Inst Representative for HEC Digital Library Resources. NEDUET, Karachi.

Dear All. I wish to stop the Acquisition and Suggestion Module notices from being sent to patrons. I can't find any system preferences to do so. The suggestions are entered by staff members and are Set to Patron, so that the patrons can view the status of their suggestions through OPAC I do not wish to send them emails unless they wish for it.

Need Department and Designatation info for Patrons
by Rupinder Singh 20 Mar '23

20 Mar '23

Hi, So, I've been working on koha for the last few years now. Koha is a wonderful software and works well with all kinds of libraries, But what I observed is, it is mostly being used in organizations, Colleges, and Universities where patrons/users are structured in defined hierarchies. Every user, be it Faculty, Non-Teaching Staff, or students, everyone has their own designation and a Department which they are affiliated with. That is how library people recognize them. But Koha does not have any field in patron records for this crucial information. My question is, Where do I enter, the name of the department and the designation of each of my library members? Please advise. Thank You Rupinder Singh Assistant Librarian Central University of Punjab

Re: [Koha] Need help to import data into koha 22.11
by Katrin Fischer 18 Mar '23

Hi Ana, the mailing list doesn't allow to attachments such as screenshots, so you might want to send the mail again with links to the screenshots. It looks like the background jobs are not started/run and get stuck as "new". And the progress column reads "null/0" which also doesn't look quite right. Unfortunately I don't know how this can be fixed :( But maybe someone else has an idea? Katrin , but maybe someone else has an idea?

Linking biblio records with 780s and 785s
by Carlos Lopez 18 Mar '23

18 Mar '23

Hi folks We've just found out that when users on our system click on preceding entry/succeeding entry links for journals in OPAC they get sent to a "ti,phr:" search for the other journal title's name (which when we're dealing with generic titles or with titles that have a voluminous supplement series can be problematic - users might expect to be linked to a single record rather than potentially page after page of title search results). Is there any way we can link specific records with other specific records through the 780/785 MARC tags? (I suspect there might be something we can do with the MARC Framework we're using but I don't really trust myself to fiddle in there without guidance!). Before I break the system or get exotic with possible fixes, does anyone have any idea how we might link records with 780 and 785 tags?

Curious XSLT behavior
by David Liddle 17 Mar '23

17 Mar '23

Greetings all! Our consortium of libraries has been using an XSLT stylesheet customized back in 2019 for "XSLTDetailsDisplay". I would like to move this file from: /usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/ which is not a path included when 'koha-run-backups' or 'koha-dump' is run, to: /var/lib/koha/{instance}/xslt/ which is included in those backup routines. According to the manual for 22.05, which is what we're presently running, there should be no problem with doing this: https://koha-community.org/manual/22.05/en/html/staffclientpreferences.html… However, I find the following: -- When I put the new path in "XSLTDetailsDisplay", the stylesheet is NOT employed. -- If I enable that new path in the web server (e.g. "/xslt") and enter the URL of the file, it is NOT employed. (I verified that it is reachable through the URL.) -- If I create a symbolic link from the former path to the current path, then the stylesheet IS used for display. My question is: What have I failed to do to make the desired path work directly? A related observation I have is this: It seems to me that, for consistency's sake, the XSLT and CSS preferences should function in the same fashion. Perhaps there is an under-the-hood barrier to this being the case. Thank you for reading! I'm looking forward to receiving guidance from the more experienced.
