Patron Bsort2 Category Disappears from Patrons Statistics Report
by Chris Mueller 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

Koha v3.0002012 on Ubuntu Prior to today only the Patron Bsort1 category had authorized values. Both Patron Bsort1 and Patron Bsort2 appeared on the new patron add form and on the Patrons statistics report form. Today I added authorized values to the Patron Bsort2 category. The new patron add form still displays Patron Bsort1 and Patron Bsort2. The Patrons statistics report form *no longer displays* Patron Bsort2. Has anyone seen this behavior before, or have a solution. I have searched Bugzilla and the online documentation. Thanks.

koha-zebra-daemon problem
by Nadel Catura 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

I am currently reinstalling Koha. I have come to the part of Configuring and starting Zebra. There are 2 options mentioned that can be done. I chose the Option 2 for this. However, it is not that easy to move on because: when i enter the command, update-rc.d koha-zebra-daemon defaults it always returns, ... file does not exists. why is that? -- Nadel D.

eIFL-FOSS ILS Case Studies published
by Randy Metcalfe 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

Dear All, For the past year, 6 libraries from Malawi to Nepal have been learning a great deal about free and open source software (FOSS) integrated library systems (ILS). Case studies of their investigations, successes, and learning points are now available. The participating pilot sites in this project range from the relatively small (50,000 to 70,000 volumes) to the very large (more than 4 million volumes). They also stretch from libraries with a single systems librarian to libraries with an entire IT team. This project was not merely about installing and using a FOSS ILS; it was about learning to engage with FOSS development and support communities. It's all about participation. We are delighted to report that the technical leads from each pilot site (and the teams they managed, where those existed) have taken engagement seriously. So much so that eIFL.net libraries are now regular contributors to the Koha http://www.koha.org/ and Evergreen http://www.open-ils.org/ ILS development and support communities. With the publication of these case studies we hope many more libraries within the eIFL.net community will take up the challenges and opportunities that come with FOSS in libraries. The case studies may be accessed here: http://www.eifl.net/cps/sections/services/eifl-foss/ils/case-studies The 6 participating pilot libraries are: Fundamental Scientific Library of the National Academy of Sciences, Armenia; Mzuzu University Library, Malawi; Library of the Faculty of Medicine Pharmacy and Dentistry, University of Bamako, Mali; Madan Puraskar Pustakalaya, Nepal; and Midlands State University Library, Zimbabwe. Best wishes, Randy -- Randy Metcalfe eIFL-FOSS

One of our users has a sight impairment and uses JAWS screen reader to use their PC. They feel that the Koha Opac is not very successful with JAWS. Has anyone else got a similar experience or any advice? Thanks, Regards, Marty
