Multiple URLs for digital Items
by Wolfgang Koller 11 Nov '10

11 Nov '10

Dear List, Is it possible to specify several URLs for digitized version of a single book? In fact we have internal digitized versions which we specify using the URL field in the items mask of koha, however it only allows us to add one URL. What we would like to do is add several URLs with external digitized versions of the book. Is this possible at all?

Fwd: NISO Press Release: NISO Announces Availability of NCIP Implementer Registry (11/10/10)
by Lori Bowen Ayre 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

Is anyone out there working on developing NCIP support for Evergreen or Koha? Is it queued up in the roadmap? Lori ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Karen Wetzel <kwetzel(a)niso.org> Date: Wed, Nov 10, 2010 at 7:04 AM Subject: NISO Press Release: NISO Announces Availability of NCIP Implementer Registry (11/10/10) To: newsline(a)list.niso.org *NISO Announces Availability of NCIP Implementer Registry* *Site brings together information about vendors’ implementations of NCIP* *Baltimore, MD - November 10, 2010 -* NISO is pleased to announce the availability of the NCIP Implementer Registry, a site that allows vendors to share information about their implementations of the NISO Circulation Interchange Protocol (ANSI/NISO Z39.83, Parts 1 and 2). NCIP addresses the need for interoperability among disparate circulation, interlibrary loan, and related applications by standardizing the exchange of messages between and among computer-based applications. At this time, the following vendors have indicated their use of NCIP by signing up for the registry: Auto-Graphics, Ex Libris, Innovative Interfaces, Inc., and Rapid Radio. The registry is linked from the NCIP website (www.niso.org/workrooms/ncip) and from the NCIP maintenance agency site (www.ncip.info) The registry allows vendors to enter information about their implementations of Version 1 of the standard, now deprecated but still widely used, and Version 2 of the standard, the current version of the standard adopted in 2008. Vendors may participate in the standard as an initiator of messages, a responder to messages, or both. By making this information publicly available, libraries will be able to see which vendors currently support NCIP, which version(s) of the standard are supported, and which messages in the standard are supported. In 2010 the NCIP Standing Committee defined two sets of core messages for accomplishing essential tasks: the Resource Sharing and the Self-Service. All required messages must be enabled for a vendor to claim support for a core message set. Depending on the role the vendor is playing in the transaction, the vendor must either support the messages as an initiator or responder. NCIP Standing Committee member Susan Campbell (Research & Development Consultant, College Center for Library Automation), who, with Mary Jackson (Product Manager, Resource Sharing, Auto-Graphics) developed the Drupal-based registry for the committee, noted, “The new registry builds on years of work on NCIP. It is a key next step to help libraries better understand which vendors provide NCIP, which NCIP messages are supported, and how those might in turn support what the library needs in order to more efficiently provide resource sharing or self-service services to their users. I am pleased to make this registry available and look forward to seeing its growth.” Rob Walsh, President of EnvisionWare, the Maintenance Agency for NCIP, as well as co-chair for NISO’s Discovery to Delivery Topic Committee, which provides oversight to the NCIP Standing Committee, added, “This is a wonderful step forward for NCIP. The registry is just one of the tools that the Standing Committee has been working on to support NCIP implementers and users. By making this information more broadly available, the community will be able to make better informed decisions to help meet their customers’ and patrons’ needs.” The NCIP Standing Committee is working to develop additional user tools. For more information, visit the NCIP website at www.niso.org/workrooms/ncip or the NCIP maintenance agency home at www.ncip.info. *About NISO* NISO, based in Baltimore, Md., fosters the development and maintenance of standards that facilitate the creation, persistent management, and effective interchange of information so that it can be trusted for use in research and learning.

Hi to all, I have check files to translate the 3.2 In same 'en' files there are French words. So to translate all the files, I need two languages, English and French The 'en' files with French words are: ../koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/prog/en/xslt/UNIMARCslim2OPACDetail.xsl ../koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/prog/en/xslt/UNIMARCSlimUtils.xsl ../koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/prog/en/xslt/UNIMARCslim2OPACResults.xsl ../koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/xslt/UNIMARCSlim2OAIDC.xsl ../koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/xslt/UNIMARCSlim2intranetDetail.xsl ../koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/xslt/UNIMARCSlimUtils.xsl The bug in bugzilla is: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5204 Do I send a patch to use English instead of French ? Attention that all translations already done need to change.

Koha in three words
by M. Brooke Helman 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

Salvete! At Conference I collected a mess of slips of paper containing what Koha meant to community members in 3 words in order to help with planning. If you missed Conference or didn't hand me your ideas, it's not too late! Send me 3 words you associate with Koha: they can reflect reality or an ideal state. I'll be compiling the results and will post them back to the list Friday next. Cheers, Brooke

link broken in /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha
by kevinjns5＠gmail.com 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

Hello, I am in the middle of installing koha 3.02 (?) onto an ubuntu 10.04 I am following the instructions given in the: Installation guide for installing koha on ubuntu lucid lynx 10.04 lts. At line 171 perl Makefile.PL ( answer questions ) $ make $ make test $ sudo make install I passed the test and entered 'sudo make install' After adjusting the apache2 ports.conf file I tried to: $ sudo a2enmod rewrite $ sudo a2ensite koha $ sudo apache2ctl restart I commented out # the NameVirtualHost *:80 line. Koha is not accessible from any browser. I notice that in the etc/apache2/sites-available file that the koha link has a cross next to it, and is not accessible. this is the message: This link cannot be used, because its target "/etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf" doesn't exist. How can I rectify? If I need to create another link how do I do that? Thanks Kevin Jones
