any acquisitions staff out there?
by Kohn, Karen 27 Jan '10

Hello again, My acquisitions technician was wondering if there are any other acquisitions staff or librarians using Koha who would be willing to swap questions and tips. I think she'd prefer a few personal contacts to emailing the whole listserv, so I offered to ask around. Thanks. Karen Kohn Collection Development Manager Landman Library Arcadia University 450 S.

Calculating Fine Problem
by Nadel Catura 27 Jan '10

27 Jan '10

We are having trouble on fines calculation. The system only detects if the Book is overdue, but not calculating the fine. The finesMode is already set to production. the circulation and fine rules is properly set. What could have gone wrong? Any thoughts? Thank you in advance!

Nicole, I'll pay your petrol costs if it means you get to see a bit of our beautiful country. It's the least I can do given how much work you do for all of us. And the US$ takes you a looong way in little old NZ. ;-) Mark -- Hei konā mai, Mark Osborne Deputy Principal, Albany Senior High School. http://wikieducator.org/Albany_Senior_High_School http://wikieducator.org/Albany_Senior_High_School/ICTs > While it sounds awesome - it also sounds expensive ... as it is I know > I'm paying for 2 round trip tickets, hotel and food - and that is > going to break the bank.

Documentation to be include installation of sendmail or postfix, configuration, settings in Koha for mail alerts, and settings for cronjob. Thanks in advance, -- Vimal Kumar V. Asst.

Need MARC record database help
by Shane Skeens 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

hi all, we just set up a KohaExpress 3.0x installation through LibLime, who is hosting the installation. we staged & imported a list of MARC21 records, which showed up fine in the database & OPAC. we then "reverted" the record import because we discovered many duplicates in the list & wanted to import an updated list. after the "undo" (done through the administrative backend & "Undo Import" button), the records still appear in searches on the OPAC & backend, but the links return 404 "page not found" errors. we have re-imported the first list & tried to "revert" it again, but the items were duplicated in the database, as though it did not detect the existing (broken) record-references. additional "undo" attempts have yielded the same results. there are no items entered yet. is there a way to purge (erase) the entire database so we can start over? we do not have access to SSH or a command line, so we can not use any command options or see the database files themselves. any help is greatly appreciated! thank you! shane

Koha Con 2010 : Home Accommodation in Wellington
by Andrew Chilton 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Hi all, Chris put up a few links on a KohaCon2010 starting page: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:kohacon2010:start >From there we now have an accommodation http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:kohacon2010:billets page for those of you who might want to stay with someone rather than stay at a hotel. Also, if this means you _can_ come due to the cash saving or otherwise miss out, then that's great. I figure a format of: * Your Name (approx. place you live) [other info] * details of accommodation on offer - ? * ... - ? I've put myself down, some details about what I might have to offer (subject to change I'm afraid, gotta check with my flatmate) so if anyone needs a place to stay in Wellington during KohaCon2010, just put your name where the question marks are. Maybe we also need a list underneath for people who _want_ accommodation but there isn't anything suitable at the present time. Cheers, Andy -- contact: Andrew Chilton website: http://www.chilts.org/

Koha Con 2010 : any interest a 2 day side trip?
by Joann Ransom 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

So I am thinking it would be really nice to meet people coming into Auckland for Koha Conference and drive them down to Wellington. We could take a few days for a quick detour through Rotorua and heartland NZ, driving down through the North Island via Levin. Current thinking is: Day 1: arrive in Auckland, dinner at the harbour <http://www.viaduct.co.nz/>area. Day 2: travel to Rotorua (3 hours ish) afternoon at Te Puia<http://www.tepuia.com/about-us/index.html>thermal area, Maori cultural night<http://www.mitai.co.nz/Mitai_Maori_Village/Hangi_Meal_IDL=3_IDT=1178_ID=670…>in the evening, spend night in Rotorua. Day 3: drive down the island, afternoon tea / civic reception at Levin (4 hours drive), travel to Wellington for evening meal and the night. Day 4: either a spare day in Wellington or day 1 of Koha Conference. So what do you reckon? If there is enough interest I'll put some indicative pricing together. -- Joann Ransom RLIANZA Acting Head of Libraries, Horowhenua Library Trust.
