Scott- If I remember correctly, you merely put a numeral; ours is 14.

Anyone have a remote location set up in Koha?
by Lee Phillips 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Hello all Butte is setting up a remote location in a retail store as a depository for returned materials and a pick up location for holds. We can add a library to Koha to identify where the holds are but I can't figure out how to (on the user interface) indicate that location as the pick up for the holds when the user places a hold on materials. Any ideas? Lee Phillips Butte Montana

Errors indexing recently imported authorities in Zebra
by Walls, Ian 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Koha folks, I've been pouring over this problem, consulting the forums, free web and source code in an attempt to figure out why I'm getting this error. The closest I've found is this old post from 2006: http://www.nabble.com/Zebra-config-problem-(still-1)-td2747685.html#a274 7685 Here is my procedure: 1. I've exported my name authority records from my ILS in their proprietary XML format. 2. Converting their XML into MARCXML 3. Importing the MARCXML into Koha with ./bulkauthimport.pl -m MARCXML 4. At this point, I can check the DB, and see my records in auth_header. They have auth_ids, and both marc and marcxml. 5. When I run ./rebuild_zebra.pl -a, I get the following (snipped for convenience; full output below): 12:24:32-01/07 zebraidx(11611) [warn] /tmp/Zvy3uS9fsy/authority/exported_records:0 record.abs:13: Couldn't find att 'any' in attset 12:24:32-01/07 zebraidx(11611) [warn] /tmp/Zvy3uS9fsy/authority/exported_records:0 Unable to acquire abstract syntax for 'record' 12:24:32-01/07 zebraidx(11611) [warn] Record didn't contain match fields in (bib1,Local-Number) 12:24:32-01/07 zebraidx(11611) [warn] Bad match criteria 6. When I attempt to search for any authorities, using terms I know should match record #1, I get nothing. My initial guess is that I need to change my matching criteria somehow... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Open Source Software in Libraries
by Nicole Engard 07 Jul '09

I am working on some very very broad research on open source use in libraries for a book I'm working on. The focus of the book will be on software you can use that is open source. If you have a chance to answer this brief survey to help me out that would be greatly appreciated: http://opensource.web2learning.net/limesurvey/index.php?sid=63946&lang=en Thanks a bunch!!!
