Arcadia Public Library uses Envisionware's PCReservation and LPT:One and we are very satisfied with it. It works well with Koha SIP, it is easy to manage by staff, it is easy to use by the public.

MARC mapping
by nreese 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Hi all, I've carried out Koha to MARC mapping, and when I run the MARC Bibliographic framework test, I get the following errors: biblio and biblionumber The biblio.biblionumber and biblioitems.biblioitemnumber fields be mapped to a MARC subfield, biblio.biblionumber has biblionumber 090 c Koha biblionumber (NR) and biblioitems.biblioitemnumber has biblioitemnumber 090 d Koha biblioitemnumber (NR) itemtype NOT mapped the biblioitems.itemtype field MUST : * be mapped to a MARC subfield, * the corresponding subfield MUST have authorised_value=itemtype (it has 942 c Item type subfield: Tab:0, | Koha field: biblioitems.itemtype, Not repeatable, Not mandatory, | Auth value:itemtypes, ) Does anyone know what is going on here? Koha 3.4.02 on openSuse 11.4.

Catalogue statitistics by Catataloguer Name
by amutsikiwa 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

Hi Hope I find you well. I have a super librarian who has four cataloguers and is interested in establishing the number of items catalogued by each cataloguer on a weekly and monthly basis. Is there anyone who have come up with such a query. Or alternatively, can someone formulate the query for me, for I am at a loss. Regards, Admire Mutsikiwa University of Zimbabwe

Upgrading Issues
by Olugbenga Adara 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

Hello all, I am in the process of upgrading an installation from 3.0.to 3.4. Because this particular install was first installed as 2.2.9 nozebra and later upgraded to 3.0 nozebra, certain koha to Marc relationships are not the same as those in a default 3.2 or 3.4 install. Specifically rather than 999$c as biblionumber, it is 090$c, bibliitemnumber is 090$d rather than 999$d while itemnumber is 952$v rather than 952$9. Also the Permanent location is 952$d rather than 952$a. This has not allowed zebra searches to work. Now I thought of exporting out the Marc records, using marcedit to correct the Marc data and reimporting the records into koha using the title as a match point. I believe Koha should then retain the item number as we do not want to lose the issues record. The other way I am thinking of is to change the melm entries in record.abs, but I think this has to be repeated for every future upgrade. Does anyone have any advice for the best way to handle this issue? Thanks a lot.

Automatic patron card number assignment
by Marty 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

Hi all, We seem to have a rather annoying problem at the moment; our patron card numbers are set up to be automatically assigned, so if the last new patron was, say 8002, the next one would automatically be 8003 and so on. Now, after we upgraded to 3.04 it seems not to do that anymore. The switch in administration is set to "do" automatically assign cardnumbers. Is there something else I should look into or we have missed? Thanks, Marty

Collections
by nreese 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

Hi all, I've searched through the posts here but just can't find the answer (especially for my Koha version). I need to delete the collections that are present in the out-of-the-box version and add collections for Reference, General and Reports. Could someone point me in the right direction here?

Official Koha Newsletter : Volume 2, Issue 7: July 2011
by Nicole Engard 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

Below is the text of the newsletter, for active links please visit the Koha site: http://koha-community.org/koha-newsletter-volume-2issue-7-july-2011/ Official Koha Newsletter (ISSN 2153-8328) Volume 2, Issue 7: July 2011 Table of Contents Koha Developments Koha 3.4.3 Available SolR for Koha Koha Community New Spanish Community Site Half Way to Koha 3.6 Seeking Newsletter Editor Koha Events Global Sign Off Day KohaCon12 Hosting Proposals Being Accepted Koha Developments Koha 3.4.3 Available by Chris Nighswonger It is with pleasure that I announce the release of Koha 3.4.3. The package can be retrieved from: http://download.koha-community.org/koha-3.04.03.tar.gz You can use the following checksum and signature files to verify the download: http://download.koha-community.org/koha-3.04.03.tar.gz.MD5 http://download.koha-community.org/koha-3.04.03.tar.gz.MD5.asc http://download.koha-community.org/koha-3.04.03.tar.gz.sig Release notes for 3.4.3 are below the fold. Come and get it! Continue reading “Koha 3.4.3 is now available” » SolR for Koha by Paul Poulain BibLibre is working hard for months to implement a new search engine for Koha: solR. Two french libraries have partially sponsored the work. One of them is now live with Koha/solR : the Limoges public library. The OPAC can be seen here: http://catalogue.bm-limoges.fr If you search for something (in french please ;-) ), like “histoire contemporaine”, you’ll see some changes in the facets : what is “faceted” is chosen by the library through the Koha admin module. On the right of each facet the number of records using this facet is displayed (and is correct). Other new features in Koha with solR search engine can be seen only in the admin interface, or when digging the code. For example you can define the indexes through the admin module (no need to update cryptic configuration files) If you want to have a look at the code, you can see the code in our solr branch: http://git.biblibre.com/?p=koha;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/dev/solr Note it’s based on HTML::Template, not Template::Toolkit. Also note that Zebra support is broken, but the code should be modular enough to have it reintroduced. We thought/found it was better to almost completely rewrite the search engine part to make it modular than to try to add solR support over zebra-related code. When will it be available in official Koha? As soon as possible. Can we estimate how much time? It won’t be in 3.6 probably, it’s too much work. So you’ll have to wait for the 2012-april or even the 2012-oct version. Koha Community New Spanish Community Site by Tomás Cohen Arazi We are pleased to announce the availability of the Spanish-speaking community’s Koha portal. You will find in it the translated official announcements and several resources and news related to the Spanish-speaking Koha community. We hope to get your feedback and support to make this site full of relevant information for the community. The address: http://es.koha-community.org Halfway to Koha 3.6 by Chris Cormack We have hit the halfway mark, for the release of the 3.6.0 feature release. 3.4.3 was just released. I just had a thought, that perhaps there are some people who aren’t sure how releases for Koha work. So I’ll do a brief summary. We work on a time based release cycle. All code is developed in the open, from multiple developers all around the world. This code is separated into adding new features, and fixing bugs. New features are released ever six months, these are the x.x.0 releases, (3.2.0, 3.4.0, 3.6.0 etc). But every month we release a bugfix release also, these are the 3.4.1, 3.4.2 etc releases. So 3.4.0 was release April 22, 3.6.0 will be release October 22. 3.4.3 will be released July 22. So the 22nd of each month is an important date in the Koha world. Read more. Seeking Newsletter Editor by Nicole C. Engard This will be my last issue as Koha Newsletter editor.
