Planning - do we want to be an open project that swaps innovations and information with other projects, or are we gunning for proprietary innovation? I'd like to see us foster cooperation with other ossils products; I bang my head against my keyboard wondering how many wheels are reinvented on each OS project and why. Cheers, Brooke

Hello Vimal, I don't see why just an announcement about another open source ILS is unfair on the list. My view has always been that open source projects must be aware and try to make the best of other competing or non-competing products that try to fulfill similar needs. It was refreshing to learn about Senayan. Some days, i have to pinch myself and know that there are alternatives to Koha. regards,krishnan --- On Mon, 15/6/09, Vimal Kumar <vimal0212(a)gmail.com> wrote: From: Vimal Kumar <vimal0212(a)gmail.com> Subject: [Koha] Senayan Library Management System: Sorry for the wrong submission To: "Koha-List" <koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz> Date: Monday, 15 June, 2009, 3:40 PM Dear Friends, Sorry for the message titled “Senayan Library Management System” appeared in this discussion forum from me.

Authority and Biblios import
by Ondrej Mlecka 16 Jun '09

16 Jun '09

I would like to import authorities (cca 2.800) data and then biblios with links to this authorities. Is there any way to assure this link? I tied this way: before importing the data, I added and unequivocal number to each authority record (beginning with 1 - it will be an import into a new database) and assigned it to the 001 Authority field, and then I added this numbers also to the 100$9 subfield of corresponding bibliog. registrations. I created the MARC record with MarcEdit and then imported both files (authority & bibliog.) with perl bulkauthimport.pl -file /root/Authority.mrc -d perl bulkmarcimport.pl -file /root/Biblio.mrc -d and rebulit zebra indexes. But Koha changed the 001 fields in authorities, so the link doesn't function (or better, it does, but to another authorities). Is there any way of making this link between authorities and bibliog. registrations during the importing in Koha? Thank you Ondrej Mlecka Casa Balthasar Rome

OT: Library Mashups Available for Pre-Order
by Nicole Engard 16 Jun '09

16 Jun '09

Hi all, A bit of an off topic post here - but one I know that some of you have been waiting for. My book on Library Mashups is ready for pre-order and covers mashups in libraries worldwide (so a bit of something for everyone). Check it out here: http://mashups.web2learning.net and order it here for you and for your libraries (Koha libraries I have trained already have a record in their test systems that I cataloged in training :) hehe) http://books.infotoday.com/books/LibraryMashups.shtml When it comes out and you read it, I'd love to hear what you think :) --- Nicole C.

Entering Enhancements and reviewing existing
by David Schuster 16 Jun '09

16 Jun '09

I have documented the process of adding an enhancement discussed at KohaCon09. It can be found at: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=instructions&s[]=enhancement If you have things that you are sponsoring if you would follow these instructions so that we all can find your sponsorships! I am also looking for people who would be willing to review the existing 288 "enhancements" to determine if they are all still needed. This would comprise reviewing the request - possibly contacting the originator for clarification, and updating the "Enhancement" request. I see this as a group effort of people currently using the system - maybe 10 people on the committee to start with. I have a blog that I was thinking I would post the numbers to be reviewed and commented on and we would look at 20 a week or so to get all the enhancements up to date. We could maybe post them directly to the list to show interest. I've leave that up to the committee to decide how they want to operate. I'm open to helping, but need HELP!

Re: [Koha] Trouble circulating freshly imported records (Settign Peermanant Location?)
by ed c 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

OK, we figured it out with some clues Joe provided. It turns out that the problem was that we were using the 952$b instead of the 952$a for the homebranch. Where koha shows you what field it is looking for the homebrach in can be found in: Home -> System Preferences -> Cataloguing From there, click the "Click to Edit" link that is associated with the NoZebraIndexes preference.

Importing Biblio Info but not Copies
by Roche III, Edward 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

We have a school whose DB became corrupt and their copy information is no longer available in their current application. So they are going to be our test bed for our new Koha install. My question is if I just import the biblio information, re-barcode and do the copy info later what is the best way to do this? Thanks Ed Edward J.

Re: [Koha] Newbie problem: Can't establish connection to OPAC
by Doug Dearden 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Hi David, Review the settings in the apache configuration files. Look in /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf, you should have two virtual hosts defined in there. As your staff client host is working but not the opac check the ip address and port that are defined for the opac. Also, look in /etc/apache2 and make sure both ports are listed in the ports.conf file. If you are using the defaults this should have listen directives for 80 and 8080 in it. All of these are the default files and ports for koha.

Any thoughts on this? I hope there is an easy solution; the installation was enough of an adventure. TIA.

Thanks for the reply Joe, but I double-checked and using the kohaadmin user is not the cause of our issues. The person doing the importing doesn't even have the kohaadmin user password. When I asked her about thi, she said: "I always have logged in [with my username] and I always choose CDC which is in the upper right. If fact I had seen something like this answer online so I also toggled the preference under circulation called "homeorholdingbranch" from holding branch to home branch thinking that might make a difference but it did not."
