Access to Learning Award
by M. Brooke Helman 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

Salvete! With so many international Libraries involved in the Koha Project, I felt as though it was a great idea to point out the Access to Learning Award sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation since y'all are prolly doing other innovative community technology projects. It's an award, so it's for stuff that's compleat (or mostly done) ; no grant stress. XD However, there is a deadline, and that deadline is 30 September 2010. (If you're going to do summat cool this year, you'd apply next year when whatever it is you're doing is done. Got it? Good.) Also, US Libraries have cooties, so no soup for you. (Well, there's other soup, just not this soup.) For information on how to apply visit: http://www.gatesfoundation.org/atla/Pages/access-to-learning-award-how-to-a… For a bit of background about the award itself visit: http://www.gatesfoundation.org/atla/Pages/access-to-learning-award-overview… For technical questions, contact: atla(a)gatesfoundation.org Cheers, Brooke

Re: [Koha] Seeking programmer: Patron Cards and Book labels: 3.06-- How are people printing them?
by Scott Owen 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

Mike, I tried to respond off-list but keep getting ******* all relevant MX records point to non-existent hosts or (invalidly) to IP addresses ******* ??? Might want to check your MX record. I believe we are just using a standard 29mm thermal label. This printer is a thermal printer, so there is no ink to rub/smear etc. We just use standard labels sizes and trim appropriately. Then put a piece of clear book-tape over top of that. We also book-tape cover the barcode. Takes a little more time, but, holds up to wear and tear of k-12 students. From: koha-bounces(a)lists.katipo.co.nz [mailto:koha-bounces@lists.katipo.co.nz] On Behalf Of Scott Owen Sent: 23 August 2010 14:14 Cc: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: Re: [Koha] Seeking programmer: Patron Cards and Book labels: 3.06-- How are people printing them? Just installed Koha from git, and the patron card/spine labels seem to work fine. However.... While using Koha 2.2.9 on win32 I was not happy with the standard barcode generated by Koha (when I could get them to work) so I used the following software and process to generate my own. Option 1 ******************************** This requires allowing access to the MySQL database that holds all of your Koha information. *BE CAREFUL AND MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE RAMIFICATIONS OF DOING THIS* Barcodes are just a font. Free barcode 39 font http://www.squaregear.net/fonts/free3of9.shtml Free (for non-profit and edu) label making/design software http://www.idautomation.com/labelsoftware/free/ MySQLAdmin and GUI tools from http://library.pantek.com/Applications/MySQL/Downloads/MySQLGUITools/mysql-… Install MySQLGUITools. Use a multi-table MySQL query to pull the data from both the biblio and items tables into a single “output” table, then export to CSV. the SQL query : SELECT biblio.biblionumber, biblio.title, items.barcode, items.itemcallnumber FROM biblio, items WHERE biblio.biblionumber = items.biblionumber; Will produce (in my case) a CSV like biblionumber title barcode itemcallnumber 1 Novell's ZENworks administrator's handbook / 1 2 The New York Public Library desk reference. 30525 031 new 3 Picture perfect / 36003 FIC PIC 6 Just listen : 30431 FIC DES 5 The lovely bones : 30319 FIC SEB 8 Unexplained / 109541 001.94 ALL 9 Whatever happened to Janie? / 109542 10 The bad beginning / 50000 F SNI 11 The field guide / 50003 F DIT 12 The clique : 109528 F HAR As you get into larger and larger biblionumbers you may want to add a > to the query: SELECT biblio.biblionumber, biblio.title, items.barcode, items.itemcallnumber FROM biblio, items WHERE biblio.biblionumber>4 = items.biblionumber; The >4 causes the query to only show rows where the biblionumber is (greater than)> 4 Install the barcode font, and the label making software. You can then design your labels, input data from the CSV, and produce your own custom labels with almost any information you desire. I include the barcode, title, call number, and school name on all of my labels. If you can obtain one, the Brother QL-500 is a wonderful label printer that also includes label design software that will allow you to print barcodes. This process is not as easy as just pressing the button in Koha, but, I have found it to work quite in my environment. Option 2:****************************** Create a "remote query" in PHP so that you can automagically generate a barcode ready list. The cut/paste/format into a CSV, and print as above in option 1. example: http://koha.almaschools.net/RQ/booklist.php This requires a bit more work....but is very handy.

I haven't heard from anyone except Chris, who is a contributing programmer, I take it, so I guess everyone else has either an on-site team or is paying a provider. 3.06 seems pretty cool and there is really no alternative, so if anyone is willing to help for some cash via paypal, it would be worth it to me. I have three installations that need this, none of which have a budget, but all of them hell-bent on Koha because of me. Why don't you just upgrade to the current beta of Koha 3.2? There are several libraries, including ours, that have been running over this code for months now. It seems a bit counter productive to pay money for a feature that will die in a couple of weeks anyway.

About problem in Unicode Nepali
by Nitesh Rijal 29 Aug '10

29 Aug '10

Hello all.. Recently I have come across a problem in KOHA 3.0.3 related to nepali unicode. Whenever I search any word in nepali, in my library site, it lists all the records in nepali. Even those which have no relevance with the search string. Please see the link at nnl.healthnet.org.np and search for a word. there instead of getting matching result, we get all the available Nepali result. As an example text you can type "karki" or "nepal" that turns to "कार्की" and "नेपाल" in Nepali. All of them return the total number of results. My though is that, it is searching for each letter of the word, instead of the whole word itself. Please see once, what may be the problem, please reply. Thank you. -- Nitesh Rijal BE IT rijal.it(a)gmail.com http://niteshrijal.com.np http://facebook.com/openrijal http://twitter.com/openrijal +9779841458173

28 Aug '10

Hi everybody, My library recently migrated to Koha 3.00.06 from 3.00.05. Everything looks good in opac and staff client but problem is that place hold is not working from both opac and staff client. When I try to place hold it displays non of these items can be placed hold. Any thoughts about this regard? Nur Ahammad BRAC UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
