Overdue notices
by Cab Vinton 28 May '09

28 May '09

I have a few questions about how others are handling overdue notices w/ Koha 3. If you're using Koha to send overdue notices via email, how do you keep track of overdues where the patron has not provided an email address? If an email address is no longer valid, do returned messages get bounced to the administrator? Any other tips on handling overdues? Many thanks, Cab Vinton, Director Sanbornton Public Library Sanbornton, NH

Or, in Koha is it prefered not to use this field?... yes, Koha in MARC21 setup uses the 999 to register the unequivocal identifier of each BIBLIOGRAPHIC record. Attention that Koha uses two unequivocal identifier of each bibliographic record. In 999$c you see the Koha biblionumber [used in the MySQL table 'biblio'] In 999$d Koha biblioitemnumber [used in the MySQL table 'biblioitems'] In fact now Koha doesn't use the 001 field. And field 001 is a special field, you can't map the Koha field to 001 MARC21 field. I have try to do it and it does not work. And can't find any script for this field because there isn't. But the system doesn't use the value inserted into 001 MARC21 field. So in fact you can insert everything.

I have tested this function because it would be useful also for my library. But in fact it doesn't work. I think it is an error into the help. It is not clear what to enter, a MARC field/subfield or the name of a index ? It is a feature in the 'adding a record' form or only to setup a link in the intranet view of a record. I have setup this feature for UNIMARC subfield 200$f and I don't see any glass. But in the intranet result, MARC format, I see a link "Search on <the value of subfield>". So the question is: This help hit in MARC tag structure administration >link : If you enter a field/subfield here (200b), a little glass >appears after the subfield.

Got the Post-Installation Read Me?

Hi ! Please, could somebody mail me the Post-Installation Read Me and the Iptables.Rules.txt for installing Koha? I got the Koha tarball from the home site but the manual keeps referring to those above mentioned files. That's why I need them to complete the installation.

Hi ! What happened to this URL? My make test for Net::Z3950::ZOOM is not working as it is not able to connect to this. What must I do? all other Perl Modules have been installed successfully. Just this bit remains to install Koha onto my system. Thank you for your help in advance.

Re: [Koha] Koha and 508 Compliant
by BWS Johnson 28 May '09

28 May '09

Salvete! I always feel like this when folks ask if their Libraries are ADA compliant. Like a wheelchair ramp doesn't mean your building compliant, the fact that Koha is web based doesn't mean it's 508 compliant. However, I feel Orwellian in stating that some systems are more equal than others, and as pointed out by another respondant, at least the hood is open to allow tooling for 508 compliance. Over the years, I have fielded a number of queries sent by people with limited or no sight which lets me feel a little better about Koha than I would with another system. If you're in the US, have you consulted with a State Talking Books agency? This would be one of very many stops I would make in trying to get a feel for the proper steps one would take towards compliance. (Commission on the Elderly, Deaf Alliances, et cetera being other stops...)

error of fact on new Koha website - and I can't fix it!
by Joann Ransom 28 May '09

28 May '09

Hi there, I have found Horowhenua Library Trust on the new Koha website and our entry is completely wrong: http://koha.org/showcase/horowhenua-library-trust. Our location is Bath Street, Levin, New Zealand - not Christchurch. Also, we do not and never have had only 2 branches. We have 4: Levin, Foxton, Shannon and Tokomaru. I have logged in to try and correct the entry myself but I can't edit the entry at all. Please can you update the entry accordingly, Cheers Jo
