If you are - do you use them with pac or only staff pac? Can I see your pac to search? Thanks David Schuster -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Is-anyone-using-Search-group-Domains--tp26129787p2612… Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Koha] Using KOHA for textbooks?
by DUCAS, PAULA M 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Our school district will be going live in January and will be attempting to circulate textbooks. The problems we have seen so far are MARC record size limits which affects the amount of duplicate records added and the search speed, and global and ceiling due dates that has to be set for all item types. Also at issue are how to set limits on amount of items circulated to each borrower and where to set the ceiling price affecting overrides. Another problem is the title display in the staff client. Currently the title displays only 245 subfield a. Apparently David Schuster has paid for the development allowing additional 245 subfields to display and this should be out by the end of the year (thank you, David). We suppressed the textbook records from the OPAC so that novels and textbooks not stored in the libraries do not show up in the OPAC. Right now our plan is to create reports that will give us the information we need about textbooks. We found that library interfaces like the OPAC are just not all that useful for textbooks, regardless of the ILS used. We will use the staff client to circulate texts, but plan on creating a report interface that will do such things as combine information from duplicate bib records so that student textbooks will be counted/reported on together. We are also planning to create programs that will change data such as due dates in textbook records to an end of the year date. Our long range plan is combining information from our student registration database like students schedules to information in our library database to track students who have checked out textbooks according to their hourly class schedules.

Koha vs Follet comparison
by ErikTPeterson 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Our school is planning on moving from a homegrown to a hosted ILS. Two options that are being considered are Koha and Follet Destiny® Resource Management Solution. Anyone have good comparison or personal comments to make? I did try out a version of Koha myself about 2 years back, but I did find it hard to add books without having to type in all the information ourselves (vs just pulling the info from Amazon or some similar central source) I like the open source nature of Koha, but we are based in Mexico City and none of the schools in our association are using Koha. For background we are a bilingual K-12 school w/ about 2000 students over 4 campuses. (this means we have 4 classroom sized libraries) Thanks! -Erik -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Koha-vs-Follet-comparison-tp26120715p26120715.html Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

by LAURENT Henri-Damien 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hi, I have just seen that the latest version for 3.0.4 had been uploaded on download.koha.org Thanks to LibLime for doing that. But for sake of not misleading people, I would find that great that people donot have the choice between 2 versions of 3.0.4 Would any liblimer be so kind as to remove the first 3.0.4 tarball since I cannot do it myself, please ? -- Henri-Damien LAURENT Release maintainer 3.0 branch

Koha migration & subfield problem
by Amy Schuler 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hello, Does anyone have any ideas regarding my problem with 852/952 $m. The problem is that, in editing all of my holdings data to migrate nicely into Koha, I cannot figure out how to migrate my old 852 $m data (call number suffix, a standard MARC subfield, I have publication years and volume #s stored in this field). When I use MarcEdit to swap fields & edit data, I can write a regular expression that will find all 852 $h, i, and m and move them to 952 $o. However, this only finds & replaces those 852s that have all 3 of those subfields. Most of my records do not have all 3, they only have $h and i. So, when I run a second find & replace to pick up the 852s that only have those two subfields, then a second 952 $o is created. In short, it seems that my choices in regard to $m data are: (1) move $m to some completely different subfield ($z public note, $t copy number? Little misleading), or (2) have 2 instances of $o in some of my 952 fields, although I am not sure how this will render, or even whether Koha will accept this (is $o repeatable??) I hope I have been clear. Please let me know if you have ideas. I am running Koha v. 3.0001005 and I attach a sample record (with most edits made) below. Note that this record contains two 952s because it is a 2 volume set, as well as the $m's. =LDR 01105cam 2200301 i 4500 =001 \\\74075531\//r952 =003 DLC =005 19950918112125.9 =008 750501s1975\\\\nyua\\\\\b\\\\00010\eng\\ =010 \\$a 74075531 //r952 =020 \\$a091384800X =040 \\$aDLC$cDLC$dDLC =043 \\$an-us--- =050 \\$aQH76$b.E36 =082 00$a333.7/2 =100 10$aEgler, Frank Edwin,$d1911- =245 14$aThe plight of the rightofway domain :$bvictim of vandalism /$cby Frank E.
