Does your library use OPAC authority searching?
by Owen Leonard 13 Jun '10

13 Jun '10

There is a new bug in our bug tracking system, '"Browse by subject" is misnamed': http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4862 I'm interested in hearing from any libraries who have this feature enabled. Do you think the link is misnamed? How can we label this search in a way that is both accurate and understandable? Is an authority search enough of a specialized task that the link can be named "Authority search" and those who know what it is will use it? -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org

Koha Templates
by Joseph Faneuf 10 Jun '10

10 Jun '10

Hello, my name is Joe and I am a Tech Support Specialist for my local school district. I have been tasked with Migrating to Koha. I currently have a fully working system up and running with Koha 3.2 Alpha with all of our data and I have 2 questions if anyone could answer for me. 1) I was restricted to using no more than 1000 item numbers at a time when doing "Batch Item Modifications". If I tried more I got a message saying "too many to list" and after re-indexing everything was doubled. I was hoping that there was a work around for this because I am dealing with 18200 item numbers and had to make 19 csv files to accomplish a bulk update. 2) My second question is that I am trying to change the template on the OPAC and have so far only found an option to change the tiny koha graphic to something of my choosing. Is there a list of available templates for koha 3.2 alpha? Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer my questions. I have done a lot of this already through just trial and error. I am trying to be smarter about it now. - Joe

Coming to NZ in October
by Nicole Engard 10 Jun '10

10 Jun '10

I have been hunting for a deal for airfare for KohaCon and with the help of Chris (who told me what he usually pays) I found an affordable deal on an excellent airline. Virgin Australian had (don't know if they still do) a promo running where it would cost about $450 on way to NZ: http://vaustralia.com/ Hope you all have good luck finding your flights! Mine is booked and I'm ready to go! Nicole
