Deleting the installation sample library file
by Paul A 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

My first post to this forum; I have tried to search for an answer with no success, so my apologies if this question is simplistic. Koha 3.2 installed on Ubuntu 10.10 server, with all required modules. Programmatically, it works fine with the recommended test/sample file (Centreville library), user and admin interfaces fully functional, as is Marc imports. Q: How do we completely delete all the "Centreville" library records, so that we can set up our own library from scratch? Thanks - Paul -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Deleting-the-installation-sample-library-… Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

zebraqueue and cron jobs
by Paul A 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

Appendix 12.2 to the new Koha 3.2 manual suggests running rebuild_zebra.pl as a Cron job every n minutes. However, the zebraqueue_daemon appears to automatically update the biblio database as and when needed. Could someone kindly explain the necessity of the Cron job? We are having a few problems finding sufficient "system level" documentation.

In 3.02.00; where is the cataloguing?
by Marty 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

Maybe I am overlooking it, but in 3.00.06 there was a cataloguing module under 'More', there is no such thing in my 3.02.00.004, at least, not under tools and I cannot find it anywhere else. (Under 'More' there is 'Lists, Acquisitions, Authorities, Serials, Reports, Tools, Administration and About Koha) What did I do now? I wonder... Any hints welcome

Changing the Marc-Flowers to another language
by Beda Szukics 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

Hi all Some time ago I installed Koha on three times for different libraries. As it had been version 3.01 I had to choose the MARC-flavour and the language environment. I selected MARC21 in the english section. Due to the wonderful work Katrin Fischer has done there is now a german version of MARC21 (both biblio and authority). Is there a way to change from english to german? I have done some translation work on the descriptions of the MARC-fields too using the staff interface. Is there a way to export that for use in other installations? Thanks Beda -- Beda Szukics www.muri-gries.ch Benediktinerkollegium, Bruenigstr. 177 CH-6060 Sarnen

Authority linking problems in Koha 3.2 solved!
by Elaine Bradtke 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

A while back I reported the fact that our imported authorities were not linking to the biblios. My IT wizard sat down with me and we dug around in the code to where it was going wrong. The problem was in our 008 field. Position 14 and 15 must be set to 'a' for the linking to work. Our authorities were not originally MARC records, and when we turned them into MARC these were set to '|' - (no attempt to code). We changed them to 'a' and the linking worked like it should. I thought I'd post this, just in case someone else down the road has the same problem.

Need help for implementing discovery tool (VuFind) with KOHA
by hasina＠bracu.ac.bd 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

Dear all Currently we are implementing Vufind at BRAC University Library, Bangladesh. We are using KOHA version 3.2 latest stable release. There is a built-in driver for KOHA but its not working. It was written as a test of concept very early in VuFinds development during experimentation with using Kohas Zebra index instead of VuFinds Solr index. We are dumping MARC record from Koha and uploading it to VuFind. It is working fine, but it doesn't show the holding data. We are trying to build a driver of KOHA for VuFind. Is there anyone who is working on any discovery tool and KOHA? Hasina Afroz Senior Deputy Librarian (Head of Library) BRAC University Bangladesh http://library.bracu.ac.bd/
