Re: [Koha] Incomplete imports
by Marc Nürnberger 08 Jun '09

Dear Justin, I recently experienced maybe a similar import scenario: in the end I failed due to some unprocessable MARC records, that passed the MARC Test (Marc Editor), but froze the koha import process mysteriously without any proper error message. They were hiding approximately 20 to 60 records upfront(!) of the last processed record and all had some special characters in the 240 field.

Seeking co-sponsors for Multiple-Copy Holds Enhancement
by Mickey Coalwell 05 Jun '09

05 Jun '09

Hello Everybody. NEKLS is pursuing a Koha enhancement that will allow staff and/or patrons to place holds on multiple copies of the same title. Our member libraries have asked for this functionality for their Book Clubs and reading groups. NEKLS is sharing the spec for this feature, prepared for us by LibLime, to see if there's interest in either tweaking the spec and/or cosponsoring the development cost. I am certain this functionality is something other libraries want, so this is a good opportunity for us to collaborate with other Koha users. NB: Even though NEKLS does not intend to allow multiple-copy holds via the OPAC, the spec includes that functionality. One of our NEKLS team proposed linking the OPAC holds permission to patron type so that only some patron types (Staff, Organization, Professional) could place multiple holds directly in the OPAC. As I said, we aren't really interested in doing this, but it may be a useful modification in some Koha implementations. If you are interested in partnering with NEKLS on this enhancement, or have additional questions, please contact me directly. Thanks.

Inventory feature
by Kohn, Karen 04 Jun '09

04 Jun '09

Hello, My library is planning an inventory in about a month, and I was glad to see that Koha has an easy-to-use inventory tool. However, when I tried to generate a shelflist, the call numbers are not in order. They are ordered the way a computer would do it but not the way LC works. (i.e., The call numbers were BF1028, BF1029, BF103. The computer put them in this order by looking at the B, then the F, then the 1, etc. LC would order them BF103, BF1028, BF1029, looking at the numbers as one hundred three and one thousand twenty-eight.) Obviously, we can't use the inventory tool if the numbers are ordered this way. I was wondering if there are any plans to fix this, since it seems more like a bug-fix than an enhancement. Thanks.
