Multiple bulk imports
by Elaine Bradtke 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

Has anyone done their bulk imports in batches? We've got different collections that are in separate databases. I was planning to import each collection separately, because there are slightly different things that have to be done to the data in each collection. But there's a catch (isn't there always). There are duplicate copies of some the same items across the collections. It seems logical that they should share the same biblio, and have the location, and collection information at the item level. How does this work if you are importing the different collections in sequence? A lot of our stuff pre-dates ISBN so even identifying them may be a trick. However, I was wondering how / if anyone has dealt with this problem. -- Elaine Bradtke Data Wrangler VWML English Folk Dance and Song Society | http://www.efdss.org Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 ext 36 Mob +44 (0) 7789 373982 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Registered Company No. 297142 Charity Registered in England and Wales No. 305999 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Writing about music is like dancing about architecture" --Elvis Costello (Musician magazine No. 60 (October 1983), p. 52)

authority plugin & indicators
by januszop＠gmail.com 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

Hello! While adding/editing a bibliographic record, when I use the authority plugin and insert the content of an authority record into a bibliographic record (e.g. PERSO_NAME --> bibliographic 100 field), the indicators doesn't copy (i.e. ind1=1 for surname in authority 100 field doesn't appear in bibliographic). What am I doing wrong? Or this is the way KOHA behaves? If so, shouldn't this behavior be modified? Thanks in advance. Cheers! Janusz

Dear Friends, I am facing a strange issue regarding Koha with Chromium browser in Lubuntu 10.04. My purpose is to build a live cd for low capacity system (256 MB RAM). I installed Koha successfully in Lubuntu. Koha run successfully in Chromium browser, but it does not work when Internet connection disabled. I got the message in browser This webpage is not available. The webpage at *http://127.0.0.1:8000/* might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. How to enable offline working in chromium? How to solve this problem? -- Vimal Kumar V.

searching & zebra
by Rachel Hollis 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

Greetings friends, our Koha was recently updated to 3.01.00.145. We have super fast transactions with NoZebra set to Use, but we cannot search the catalog. When searching we get No results found. If I change the NoZebra setting to Don't Use, transactions are much slower but we can search the catalog. The logs show that rebuild zebra is set on a cron for hourly and daily. The logs read: #Rebuild Zebra index #First an incremental rebuild of authorities perl -I /usr/share/koha/lib /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -a -z #Then an incremental rebuild of biblios, cuz they don't play nice doin it together perl -I /usr/share/koha/lib /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -z OpacSuppression is set to Don't Hide and hidelostitems is set to Show. We'd like to use Zebra (NoZebra set to Use) and be able to search the catalog too. I'm pretty sure it's an easy fix, I'm just blind to it.

NULL items
by Rachel Hollis 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

Greetings colleagues, I have tried to get our Circulation And Fines Rules preferences to work to no avail. Recently I ran a Catalog Statistics report and discovered that 6251 out of 6386 items.itype are NULL which probably explains why the Circ Rules aren't working. Is there a way to assign or fill the NULL items.itype values with one of our itype values? Even better would be to assign a specific value for each shelving location. As far as I can see in the staff interface, the item types (942c & 952y) are filled in. Changing the 942c and 952y does not seem to alter the NULL; the Catalog Statistics report result number does not change. Additionally, any idea how I managed to have so many NULL items.itypes; could it be my adding a space prefix to Description when in Modify Item Type so that alphabetically the most used itype is the first choice?

Koha with Archon
by Linda Culberson 27 Sep '10

27 Sep '10

All, We are an archival institution with library holdings, rather than a publicly circulating library, and this may seem a strange question, but here goes: Does anyone out there use Archon (an open source archival information system - http://www.archon.org/features.php) in addition to or with Koha? Or does anyone know of an organization/institution that does? My reasons for asking are both lengthy and complicated, so I'd be happy to discuss them off-list rather than bore everyone with them here. Thanks! -- Linda Culberson lculber(a)mdah.state.ms.us Archives and Records Services Division Ms. Dept. of Archives& History P. O.
