Request to participate in 2009 Library Technology Guides automation survey
by Breeding, Marshall 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Please respond to the 2009 library automation perceptions survey. This page describes how to participate: http://www.librarytechnology.org/blog.pl?ThreadID=137&BlogID=1 More details: For the last two years I have conducted a survey and written a report on the perceptions that libraries form of the quality of the core automation products they use and their satisfaction with the service they receive. Results from previous editions: http://www.librarytechnology.org/perceptions2008.pl http://www.librarytechnology.org/perceptions2007.pl I have begun to collect data for the 2009 edition of the survey. This is an opportunity for libraries to register their impressions of the ILS product they use, its vendor, and the quality of support delivered. Is support getting better or worse? The survey also probes at considerations for migrating to new systems and the level of interest in open source ILS. While the numeric rating scales support the statistical results of the study, it's the comments offered that provide the most insight into the current state of library automation satisfaction. Please help your fellow libraries who might be in the process of evaluating library automation options by responding to the survey. Any information regarding vendor performance and product quality can be helpful when making strategic decisions regarding automation alternatives. A large number of responses strengthen the impact of the survey and the subsequent report. If you have responded to previous editions of the survey, please give your responses again this year. It's helpful to understand whether things are getting better or worse. As with the previous versions of the survey, only one response per library is allowed. While all the individuals that work in a library may have their own opinions, please respond to the extent that you can from the general experiences of your library. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding the survey.

Is this issue of barcodes a concern for Koha users?
by Lee Phillips 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

This is a correspondance from our state library about participating in EZProxy with the Montana Libraries. Do we need to conform to their barcode requirements? Lee in Butte Good morning, A primary reason to move to standardized patron and item barcodes is the possibility that the library will become a member of a shared system, of whatever kind, in time. Once in a shared system, where the patron database in that system is not "segmented", non-standard IDs, particularly those built incrementally (1000, 1001, etc.), run the risk of coming up against an identical ID. This is the case for either patron or item IDs and it stops the transaction in the system. A segmented patron database in a shared ILS, while it could protect against this, doesn't lend itself easily to opening up user walls when the libraries are ready to share user privileges (placing holds, checkout, checkin) between multiple libraries within the same system. Barcodes standardization is, I believe, another area we get mired in, during statewide discussions. This detail, while essential to the larger picture, seems to often detract us from that larger picture.

Koha - Apache - Setup
by gsl 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

We've just finished installing koha 3.0.4, and gotten to the setup page. However, to get to the initial setup page we have to specify: http://koha:8080 #where 'koha' is the machine name The following will not work: http://localhost:8080 #not found Nor will access from a different computer (but also on the same private network): http://192.168.15.10:8080 Apache is fine: http://192.168.15.10 #It Works! Isn't this an Apache alias configuration I need to change? Greg Greg Lawson Rolling Hills Consolidated Library

Re: [Koha] losing current location

Hi Chris, Hi all, Here's what happens in detail (with links to screenshots) including what happens to the marcxml mysql field and the 952 part in particular.... By the way: - We checked our branch related settings and they are default. - I'm logged in and set my libary - We have only one library (branch), see http://www.extra.research.philips.com/Libraries.png This morning I have added a book : ====================== - Normal view: http://www.extra.research.philips.com/Normal-Clever.png - Marc view: http://www.extra.research.philips.com/MARC-Clever.png The current location is "Research Library New Books" (New Books is a category, Research Library is the location). - The marcxml mysql 952 part: <datafield tag="952" ind1=" " ind2=" "> <subfield code="w">2009-11-04</subfield> <subfield code="p">ZQD-078-01</subfield> <subfield code="r">2009-11-04</subfield> <subfield code="4">0</subfield> <subfield code="0">0</subfield> <subfield code="6">ZQD_00078</subfield> <subfield code="9">17203</subfield> <subfield code="b">NL</subfield> <subfield code="1">0</subfield> <subfield code="o">ZQD 078</subfield> <subfield code="d">2009-11-04</subfield> <subfield code="8">Z</subfield> <subfield code="7">0</subfield> <subfield code="c">NEW</subfield> <subfield code="2">lcc</subfield> <subfield code="y">BK</subfield> <subfield code="s">2009-11-04</subfield> <subfield code="l">3</subfield> <subfield code="a">NL</subfield> </datafield> As you can see the 'a' and 'b' field (holding- and current location) are correct: NL. Then I checked out the book to myself via the staff client (port 8080): ============================================ - See http://www.extra.research.philips.com/CheckedoutClever.png - The marcxml mysql 952 part: <datafield tag="952" ind1=" " ind2=" "> <subfield code="w">2009-11-04</subfield> <subfield code="p">ZQD-078-01</subfield> <subfield code="r">2009-11-04</subfield> <subfield code="4">0</subfield> <subfield code="0">0</subfield> <subfield code="6">ZQD_00078</subfield> <subfield code="9">17203</subfield> <subfield code="b">NL</subfield> <subfield code="1">0</subfield> <subfield code="o">ZQD 078</subfield> <subfield code="d">2009-11-04</subfield> <subfield code="q">2009-11-25</subfield> <subfield code="8">Z</subfield> <subfield code="7">0</subfield> <subfield code="c">NEW</subfield> <subfield code="2">lcc</subfield> <subfield code="y">BK</subfield> <subfield code="s">2009-11-04</subfield> <subfield code="l">4</subfield> <subfield code="a">NL</subfield> </datafield> Still everything is ok Finally I'm checking the book back in via the staff client (port 8080): =========================================== - See http://www.extra.research.philips.com/CheckedInClever.png - The marcxml mysql 952 part: <datafield tag="952" ind1=" " ind2=" "> <subfield code="w">2009-11-04</subfield> <subfield code="p">ZQD-078-01</subfield> <subfield code="r">2009-11-04</subfield> <subfield code="4">0</subfield> <subfield code="0">0</subfield> <subfield code="6">ZQD_00078</subfield> <subfield code="9">17203</subfield> <subfield code="1">0</subfield> <subfield code="o">ZQD 078</subfield> <subfield code="d">2009-11-04</subfield> <subfield code="8">Z</subfield> <subfield code="7">0</subfield> <subfield code="c">NEW</subfield> <subfield code="2">lcc</subfield> <subfield code="y">BK</subfield> <subfield code="s">2009-11-04</subfield> <subfield code="l">4</subfield> <subfield code="a">NL</subfield> </datafield> As you can see it loses it's current location and also the 'b' subfield code which is just that. !!!: If I set "AutomaticItemReturn" to OFF (default is "ON) it's all ok, but why isn't it with the default settings?

UTF 8 encoding
by nitesh rijal 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

Hello I am using Koha 3.0.3 in Debian Lenny Stable. I am doing fine with everything else, the problem that I'm facing is that whenever I import some UTF 8 encoded data into the database, it doesnot show the decoded text in the search result. It keeps on showing the encoded data. I have selected collation as utf8_general_ci and the actual data is in Nepali Unicode ( Devnagari). What is wrong here, I can't figure it out. Please Help. Thankyou. -- Nitesh Rijal BE IT http://niteshrijal.com.np +9779841458173
