Patron Category TYPES
by Nadel Catura 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

I already know that the Patron Category Types are hardcoded in the system. But is there a way for me to edit the code, for me to be able to add and delete category types? Because in our library, the Adult and Child Category types are not really useful. So we are planning to add the following category types: 1. Student (does need guarantor) 2. Employee (replacement to the Staff Category type) So we really need a way to edit the code and add the said category types. PLease help. Thanks in advance! Have a nice day.

If there were to be local flavours, which I think is a good idea (you have this with IFLA, ALA, CILIP, et cetera) I would urge meticulous advance planning so that multiple conferences didn't conflict. I'd love to see a regional approach similar to my Fraternity's employed. Our National conference rotates by Region every other year, so that eventually, it will be in your backyard. Also, my Fraternity sets things up so that there's a regional conference in alternation with the National. This allows people to get to both if they choose without too much strain on the budget. I remember people voicing that they got their funding a little late to get to KohaCon in Plano. When is an ideal time, if ever? Obviously we want to accommodate both programmers and librarians. Maybe I am showing my bias, but I would think that early August might be a good time for us. (That said, I'd love NZ to be in January for purposes of getting Chris cocktails. It goes back to the lost New Year's. I can't help it! Who knows, this might not be good for Chris.) Cheers, Brooke

Koha support by BSZ
by Fischer, Katrin 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

Hi all, Since our first two patches have been pushed to HEAD for inclusion in 3.2 we are happy to introduce ourselves to the Koha community: BSZ (http://titan.bsz-bw.de/cms/bsz/about/) is a state institution of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, for libraries, museums and archives. The BSZ division 'Union Catalog' operates the Südwestdeutscher Bibliotheksverbund (SWB), a union catalog comprising more than 1000 mostly academic libraries in Baden-Württemberg, Saarland, Saxony, and other states in Germany, as well as those of the Goethe-Instituts. The BSZ division 'Library Systems' provides an application service for a (commercial) library system to academic libraries in the SWB consortium. In December 2008 we made our first contract to host and support Koha, the system will go live on October, 12th 2009. Items have been entered and fitted with RFID tags over the last months, the library will use a self check system connected to Koha. For the time being we plan to support Koha in another three libraries. Our main focus will be the German Koha translation and documentation. Looking forward to working with you, Katrin Fischer Wolfgang Heymans Bibliotheksservice-Zentrum Baden-Württemberg 78457 Konstanz Germany http://www2.bsz-bw.de/cms/

I manage a very small (<1000 volumes) law library and our current software that allows online searching will not be supported by the new web hosting vendor (no ASP.NET) I'm hoping Koha will work for us - have to figure out how to import data and make it accessible online - and that's after I get it installed, etc., which I hope to do using Mac OS X (10.5.8). If anyone has managed a similar project I'd like to hear from you. Otherwise, I'll be lurking around as I hack my way through this. cheers - Susan -- Susan G.

one URI or URL for each ITEM?
by Gorgie R. 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

Hi Folks, I saw in the Chicago University Lens Opac (Aquabrowser interface instead Horizon Opac) that they put an URL to each Bibliographic record. Something like this: URL for this record: http://lens.lib.uchicago.edu/?itemid=|library/marc/uc|4848480 The 4848480 is the Bibliographic record number or system control number. I think that they tray to offer a kind of PURL. In Koha ILS when you add an ITEM the point “u” ask for an URI, could you tell me what is the idea with this functionality? An which is the structure of this uri? In a new Horizon ILS version for adding an ITEM they ask for an URL of the item too. I have the same question. Could you help me to understand these futures? Thanks in advance Georgie _________________________________________________________________ Revisa tus correos de Hotmail en tu BlackBerry - Clic Aquí http://www.windowsliveentublackberry.com

Opac login information on Import Patrons
by Nadel Catura 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

After setup and configuration of Koha, we are now in Adding of Patrons. Mainly, our patrons are the students (College and IS) which is hundreds in number. Unfortunately, these are too many records to add manually one by one. So we decided to use the module, Import Patrons. I have tried 5 records to upload using a converted csv file of the student records. Good thing, I have successfully imported 5 samples. However, even if I have successfully added these records, the Opac Login information of the students are not included in the Import. I am just wondering, is there a way for me to add the Opac Login information of the students during the Import process? Anyone's help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! Have nice day.
