Barcode Readers & WinIsis Data Migration
by Rovin 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

Hello, My name is Imran Mohamed from the University of Guyana. A while back we decided to use Koha for our Library Automation Project. We are 99% complete with customization and we are about to enter data entry stage. I have some questions: 1. We need some suggestions about bar-codes; do we use the auto generation feature in Koha, or do we use the Accession Number? What are the pros and cons? 2. What is the best barcode reader to use? 3. We have some records in WinIsis(.iso) format. However, when converting the records to MARC21 format, we realized that the tags are different, e.g. Accession Number etc. Also, the tags in WinIsis doesn't use sub-fields, where as in MARC21, it does. Example, for the Title tag in WinIsis, all the information is stored in one tag, whilst in MARC21, there are sub-fields for Title, Extended Title etc. What is the best method to convert from WinIsis to MARC21.

Shelving Location?
by Chris Morrison 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

We got Koha successfully installed and our data is almost fully migrated and the catalog is fully searchable. However, we are unsure how to define shelving location? I know that the value in stored in 952$c, but when I add an item, there is nothing in the drop down box to choose from. Obviously, I have to add my own, but I don't see where to do that. Help?

sample CSV File converted from a plain excel file
by Nadel Catura 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

As I have said days ago, Our school started its operations 7years ago. >From the time it has started, our library didn't use any of the Library Systems existing today. So our records are plainly saved and recorded in an Excel File. Yesterday, someone converted our excel file into a .mrk file. But I also want to learn how to do this on my own. I've read tutorials on doing so. Unfortunately, I can't follow the instructions given. Im a bit confused. I was just hoping if somebody can send me a sample csv file that is converted from the original excel file? Even if it consists only of 5-10 records. I just want to see the format of that CSV file for me to make one like that. Thanks very much! Hoping, Nadel

Amazon lookup script for Koha libraries
by Cab Vinton 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

We order most of our materials from Amazon, so I've been looking for a convenient way to tell if a book under consideration is in our catalog already. Greasemonkey & a custom user script fit the bill nicely: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748 http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/56847 A few caveats: Like most scripts, this one was designed to work with Firefox; I haven't explored getting it to work with other browsers. I'm not a JavaScript programmer -- this was adapted from others' work. Just a few lines would have to be changed to get the script to work with your catalog. It depends on the existence of ISBN for the item in question, so movies, older books, etc. would not work. Others have added all sorts of bells & whistles: xISBN lookups to search for related titles, custom messages based on the status of items (on order, on hold, etc.), ... just search the UserScripts site for Amazon + library. For a later date! Cheers, Cab Vinton, Director Sanbornton Public Library Sanbornton, NH
