Adding of bibliographic record into KOHA 2.2.9
by Augustine Rono 23 Aug '10

23 Aug '10

I hope friends can help me solved the problem with adding bibliographic record and trying to go to the items . I have created a Bibliographic record and I am sure it meets the standards of cataloguing using MARC21 rules. My problem is when adding bibliographic record and trying to go to the items the system takes a lot of time without either showing that the bibliographic record was successfully added. I work with KOHA 2.2.9. on a Windows Platform if any one has the way out please share your input on this. Your input on this is highly welcome Sincerely, Augustine Rono Institute of Policy Analysis and Research -Kenya Mobile: +254727942679 Email: rono(a)ipar.or.ke ronokip1200(a)yahoo.com ronokip1200(a)gmail.com

ties to authorities while cataloging
by Linda Culberson 20 Aug '10

20 Aug '10

Everyone, Sorry but this another stupid newbie question. I'm still trying to figure out how authorities are used in Koha. Is there a way to search the authority files for headings while cataloging in Koha - for example to see what headings are already established or have been used in the catalog already? Thanks! -- Linda Culberson lculber(a)mdah.state.ms.us Archives and Records Services Division Ms. Dept. of Archives& History P. O.

KOHA not calculating fines
by Mutsikiwa Admire 20 Aug '10

20 Aug '10

I am having a problem with my Koha implementation. When an item is checked out and it is overdue, it is indicated as so in the user account. However, when it is checked in, the fines do not appear on the patron's account. Here is my typical loan rule table: Patron Category Item Type Fine Amount Fine Days Fine Grace Period Fine Charging Interval Checkouts Allowed Loan Period Undergraduate Students Mpilo Reserve books $2.00 20day(s) 0 1 day(s) 1 1 Undergraduate Students Mpilo Short Term Loan Books $2.00 0 1 day(s) 2 1 Undergraduate Students Mpilo Two week loan Books $1.00 0 1 day(s) 4 14 Now when I loan out an item of type reserve to patron category undergraduate, the item when overdue, it is indicated as such but when the item is checked in, the fine is not shown on the patron's account. I do not know where I missed the point.

The real problem seemed to be: Lack of attention to detail. Poor mouse clicking skills. Lack of sleep due to crazy children. Old age and the need for reading glasses. Consequences of a misspent youth. Bad Karma. *blush* Problem solved...... I apparently didn't "clone" the settings after I changed the "default" "holds allowed (count)". The default showed correctly, but as soon as I changed to the library, the "holds allowed (count)" was back to "0". re-cloned settings, and now holds are working. Thanks to all of you for your assistance. >>> Scott Owen<sowen(a)edzone.net> 8/18/2010 3:28 PM >>> Thank you for all your help, but, sadly....
