Overdue procedures with few e-mails on record
by Lesley Kimball 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Hello all, We are working on getting our overdue notice procedures up and running and we are in a situation where 98% of our patrons do not have an e-mail address entered into their record. With our past systems we have always printed lists (based on time overdue) and then made phone calls to those people who we don't have e-mails for. I'm not sure how this can work with Koha. We have just gotten the overdue cron-jobs set up, but obviously still need to be able to contact people who won't be receiving e-mails. Would anyone mind talking off-list if you have any experience or suggestions? Thanks, Lesley Kimball ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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

Fines not creating
by Peel Lisa 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Hello I have had two patrons today checking in overdue items (they come up as overdue on check in) but no fine has been created on their account. We upgraded to 3.4 recently - I had a quick look in the system prefs, calendar and fine rules and I think it all looks ok. Is there something I am missing?

KOHA holdings/barcode problems
by Margaret Matthews 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Good morning somewhere in the world!! I am having several problems that I hope someone can help me with. We are running 3.02.7 I cannot run barcodes- this is due to not one of the 2600 records I have loaded saying they have any holdings - in the past I have not had this problem and ran barcodes for over 2000 of our 2600 records. when I search - the record is there with all the information but no holdings, if there are no holdings -barcodes, checking in and out of the books won't work. when I go into a record in the cataloging area and pull up a record - all the information is there but when I go to edit it the edit screen comes up and it is totally empty and library name (as if I had not set the "no-library set"and I have set it) is wrong and when I fill edit page out again with the same information and save changes I get an error message. I download from LC, edit biblio if needed, then "save and edit holdings", fill out local holdings (edit) and then save. there are no holdings now for all the records in the database -I had some before-what am I doing wrong or missing? I don't understand why all the holdings are gone. another question deals with the rebuilding of the database. i see lots of questions and comments about zebra_rebuild. some of them have it programed to run every 15-30-45 minute intervals. I am wondering if this could be part of the problem. it rebuilds the collection, merges like bibliographies, cleans up the database, and I am wondering if it adds the holdings to the database? I am not sure when ours run or if this is a problem I need to worry about. I am very frustrated. thanks in advance!! margaret

Statistic with Koha
by schwitzd 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Hi I'm trying to create some statistics, for example I want to have the number of the search done today, I wrote this query. select count(time) from search_history where year(time) = year(curdate()) AND month(time) = month(curdate()) AND DAY(time) = day(curdate()); My problem is... if the user do the login in the opac and then do a search the table search_history is updated but if the user do a search without login nothing is written in the database. Any idea? -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Statistic-with-Koha-tp4622398p4622398.html Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Yeah, so you just need to ensure that the fields that you mark in marcedit carry across to the appropriate ones specified in that list. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5957 6D23 8B16 EFAB FEF8 7175 14D3 6485 A99C EB6D

Koha - order of subject fields
by Linda Culberson 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

Has anyone found an easy way to change the order of subject fields? In other words, if you have multiple 6XX fields and want to change their order in which they appear - according to importance. Is there a way in Koha to do that? Thanks. -- Linda Culberson lculber(a)mdah.state.ms.us Archives and Records Services Division Ms. Dept. of Archives & History P. O.
