Collecting bookmarks / links about Koha on Diigo
by Kristina Hoeppner 31 Jul '10

31 Jul '10

Hello, My name is Kristina and I am new to the Koha community. I just began to familiarize myself with Koha a couple of weeks ago when I joined the Koha team at Catalyst around Chris Cormack. My function in that team is not yet clearly defined, but I will have more of an e-learning perspective onto Koha than a purely librarian's view of how to use Koha or a developer's view, and among others investigate ideas of how Koha could be integrated into learning management systems and e-portfolios, in particular Moodle (www.moodle.org) and Mahara (www.mahara.org) respectively as Catalyst is actively involved in the development of these two open source software products. My background is in training teachers and students at higher education institutions in the use of digital media in general and educational technology in particular. I am very excited to work with Koha, explore its functionalities, and help to implement ideas that allow Koha to be integrated into other systems. As the Koha community already has a YouTube and Zotero group besides the community web site, I thought it would be an idea to also have a Diigo group in order to collect bookmarks that are solely concerned with Koha making it easy for people to find "Everything Koha" (http://groups.diigo.com/group/everything-koha) that is on the net. Chris and I already started to bookmark the first resources. We invite everybody to join the group and add further bookmarks. The easiest way to do that once you have created a Diigo account and got accepted into the group is to install the Diigo toolbar. Whenever you bookmark a Koha resource, you can immediately share it with a group, in our case the "Everything Koha" group (You can also share it with multiple groups.). It helps to find this bookmark if you tag it. Once you have selected the group you want to share your bookmark with, tags that have already been used in the group are recommended to you. You can also provide a description about the resource. That is particularly useful if the title of the web page does not provide a whole lot of information about the web page content. If you are stuck somewhere in Diigo, you may want to check out their tutorials. A note on alert settings: The default settings for alerts on new content in the group is "immediate". That means you will get an email shortly after somebody added a resource. If you do not want to receive that email or change the settings to an email once a day or once a week to keep tabs on new additions to the group, please change your alert settings on the web page of the group. If you only want to browse the bookmarks, you can also do that and do not need a Diigo account.

by Miguel Ferreira 31 Jul '10

Dear all, I've defined a repeatable subfield in a MARC framework, however, when adding a new marc record the subfield cannot be repeated. The "+" and "-" signs appear next to the subfield but cannot be clicked. Best regards, Miguel Ferreira - - Miguel Ferreira, Ph.D. KEEP SOLUTIONS, LDA.

Different circulation rules for the same item type
by Miguel Ferreira 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

Dear all, We are testing Koha 3.0.6 and a question regarding a specific circulation rule has come up. How may one set up a circulation rule that states that a specific holding of a given item type (e.g. book) may be checked out for a period of 5 days, and another holding of the same type may be checked out for 10 days. To solved this, should we create 2 distinct item types, e.g. book5days and book10days? Is there a better way to do this? Regards, Miguel Ferreira - - Miguel Ferreira, Ph.D. KEEP SOLUTIONS, LDA.

Running z39.50 behind a firewall-which ports to open
by Mutsikiwa Admire 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

Hi all, We are running our newly installed koha 3 behind a firewall. Each time we try to use the z39.50 facility, we are getting a connection timeout. I am suspecting there should be some ports eg tcp 210 that should be opened on the firewall. I will appreciate any help.

changing loan times
by Rachel Hollis 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

Greetings colleagues, our library's materials all circulate for four weeks. I'd like to change the loan times to two weeks for books, and one week for visual materials. I just checked the circulation & fines rules and found that I evidently changed it a while back though all our materials still go out for four weeks: Patron Category - Item Type - Fine Amount - Fine Grace Period - Fine Charging Interval - Current Checkouts Allowed - Loan Period IL - Default - $0.00 - Unlimited - 70 day(s) Default - Books - $0.00 - Unlimited - 14 day(s) Default - NonCirculating & Reference - $0.00 - Unlimited - 7 day(s) Default - VHS & DVDs - $0.00 - Unlimited - 7 day(s) Default - Default - $0.00 - Unlimited - 30 day(s) So what must I do to get materials to circulate according to the circulation & fines rules? Am I missing something? I also checked the patron types & categories and item types & circulation codes just in case and found that everything looks good. Here's what we've got: Koha version: 3.01.00.001 OS version: Linux library 2.6.18-6-686 #1 SMP Fri Jun 6 22:22:11 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux Perl version: 5.008008 MySQL version: mysql Ver 14.12 Apache version: Server version: Apache/2.2.3 Zebra version: Zebra 2.0.32 Rachel Hollis, librarian Stevens-Henager College, Boise Idaho Campus ________________________________ This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged, proprietary, or otherwise private information.

conversion marc21 to unimarc
by Daniel Legoff 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

Bonjour, our library is moving to Koha this year with the help of Paul Poulain's biblibre. We are a large public library specialized in "francophone" (French speaking) litterature. Our Koha will be set up as using the UNIMARC format, inside and as the import format But we wish to use the canadian libraries AMICUS repository to import French canadian bibliographic records. They are exported in iso2709 marc 21. Does anyone of the Koha community knows of such an API configurated for translating marc21 to unimarc ? We have downloaded USEMARCON which is a conversion tool , but it leaves the user in front of the task of typing in the marc21/Unimarc table.. If we could avoid this ! Thanks a lot daniel -- Daniel Le Goff Bibliothèque francophone multimédia 2 place Aimé-Césaire 87032 Limoges cedex 05 55 45 96 94 dlegoff(a)bm-limoges.fr http://www.bm-limoges.fr Avant d'imprimer, pensez à l'environnement
