OSS ILS Resource Project
by Vandana Singh 02 Sep '11

02 Sep '11

Greetings! This is a call for participation in an *interview* about Open Source Integrated Library Systems (ILS). This interview is part of a research project funded by IMLS comparing the technical support of Open Source ILS with the technical support of proprietary ILS. This is the third phase of the project. In the first phase we collected data regarding expectations of librarians for the technical support of their ILS. The second phase assessed the effectiveness of current ILS technical support. Thanks for your help if you participated in one or both of the earlier phases. We really appreciate the informative, quick and large number of responses we got!!! We hope you will participate in the current interviews, which will use the experience of open source software ILS adopters to develop a model for the evaluation, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of open source ILS. We would like to conduct the interview over the phone or in person and will be compensating for your time with a $25 gift card. If you know of anyone who would be interested in the study or in being interviewed please direct them to our site<https://sn2prd0202.outlook.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=oyU6ABlRpkm0lbpcIvRytD78oCe…>where they can find out more about the project. We are interested in learning about the experiences of libraries of different types and sizes and are interested in hearing from you even if your migration to an open source ILS is not complete. If you are willing to participate, please respond to this email with the subject phrase "ILS Interview" In the same email if you could mention · The type of library you represent and · The approximate size of you collection. We really appreciate your time and support and look forward to reporting back the results from this study! You can also direct any queries or suggestions to utk.ils.research(a)gmail.com<https://sn2prd0202.outlook.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=oyU6ABlRpkm0lbpcIvRytD78oCe…>with the subject “ILS Interview” in the subject line, or visit our Facebook page<https://sn2prd0202.outlook.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=oyU6ABlRpkm0lbpcIvRytD78oCe…> .

Subject: Re: Fulfillment and integration/connecting with Koha?
by Jim Minges 02 Sep '11

02 Sep '11

To follow-up on Liz Rea's post regarding FulfILLment & Koha in Kansas: FulfILLment is scheduled to roll out in Ohio around the end of the year. Our State Librarian, Jo Budler, proposed and provided funding for the project when she was Ohio State Librarian. After FulfILLment is fully operational in Ohio, the State Library of Kansas is planning to contract with NEKLS to pilot test it with our Koha system. I expect that will be well into 2012. If the test is successful, we are discussing the possibility of NEKLS managing a statewide FulfILLment implementation. I believe there are some additional ILS systems that will be included including Polaris and Autographics Verso. I think those four that Lori mentioned might have been the original four selected by Ohio. Jim "NEKLS and its member libraries are leaders and innovators in providing exemplary library services."

OPAC My Summary
by Olugbenga Adara 02 Sep '11

02 Sep '11

Hello all, I am currently testing the OPACMySummaryHTML feature in koha 3.4.4. I discovered that the link produced in the OPAC is prefixxed with (opac-ip)/cgi-bin/koha and then the link in the OPACMySummary system preferences. e.g. I put "<a href=”http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http://192.168.57.129:8000/cgi-bi…>Share on Facebook</a> in the systems preferences and the link it generates in OPAC is "http://192.168.57.129:8000/cgi-bin/koha/<a http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http://192.168.57.129:8000/cgi-bin/koha… >" The link works if it is without the http://192.168.57.129:8000/cgi-bin/koha/ Is this a bug or i am missing something?

Zebra - finding proper modules
by Tom Hanstra 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

I'm having trouble getting Zebra to properly index my database. I have updated the configuration files in etc/zebradb with the location of my Zebra modules. I have them in a separate directory (/shared/zebra/lib/idzebra-2.0/modules). But, from everything I can see, Koha is not seeing these properly. When I re-index using the rebuild_zebra.pl script, I see no indication that it is properly finding these modules, with the result that I get no indexes. How can I be sure that Koha is seeing these properly? And if it is not finding my version, what do I have to change so that it does? Thanks, Tom -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Hanstra Systems Administrator Hesburgh Libraries of Notre Dame Phone: (574)631-4686 213 Hesburgh Library Email: tom(a)nd.edu Notre Dame, IN 46556 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fulfillment and integration/connecting with Koha?
by David Schuster 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

Is this being worked on by any Koha libraries or is there interest? I see Ohionet? is sponsoring a lot of the work and they are in the Q7 now of development based on what is mentioned in this blog post: http://www.fulfillment-ill.org/blog/?p=9 I see this as a huge opportunity for a library and an MLIS grant possibility. I know the State of Texas has contracted with OCLC to manage our "state" ILL system, but what a great opportunity this could be... -- David Schuster Plano ISD Library Technology Coordinator

some overdue messages not sending
by Lesley Kimball 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

Hi everyone, I know that most of our e-mail overdue notices are going out -- I can see them listed in patron's messaging/notices and sometimes people reply or tell us they've gotten the e-mail. But, I have one patron who should be getting e-mails and he hasn't and there isn't anything in his messaging/notices. When there is an incorrect e-mail address Koha still sends a message but then I get the bounce-back. In this case there is nothing at all. Has anyone run into this before? We are using 3.4 Thanks, Lesley ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians. -- Monty Python, "Gorilla Librarian" sketch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lesley Kimball Director Wiggin Memorial Library Stratham, NH <mailto:Director@WigginML.org> Director(a)WigginML.org

Task scheduler
by Cab Vinton 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

In whatever version of Koha we're running, it appears that the Task Scheduler can not be used to schedule tasks on a recurring basis, e.g., once a week, every 14 days, etc. (I'm thinking of running Reports periodically, in particular.) Is this accurate? Thank you, Cab Vinton, Director Sanbornton Public Library Sanbornton, NH "Politeness and consideration for others is like investing pennies and getting dollars back." Thomas Sowell
