Hello, My name is Linh and i'm a final year Library student, for my final project i have to build a Integrated library system. I don't really have a budget for this project and that is why i decided to use opensource. I was just wondering if there are any addition cost involved with running Koha? Kind regards, Linh

MARC21-Field 733
by Beda Szukics 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Hi The default MARC21-framework doesn't contain the field 733. How to add it? Am I right that I need this one to be able to connect parts of a work with the main title? My current example: I have a volume with four overtures by Gluck bound together. Each of these overtures has its own titlepage and so its own bibliographic record. Thank you Beda

KohaCon 2009 development meeting
by Galen Charlton 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Hi, A few logistical details for the developers meeting after KohaCon 2009. Location: The Board Room at the Holiday Inn Express North Plano (i.e., the conference hotel) Date: We have the room all day Saturday and Sunday, 4/18 & 4/19. Start time: 08:00 CDT (13:00 UTC) - note that that this is not a firm start time as much simply the earliest I'll be there to make sure that the room is unlocked. End time: Whenever the caffeine runs out. The hotel is being very flexible, although if we start running into the late evening, we should probably decamp to a private hotel room out of courtesy to the staff and guests in adjoining rooms. Agenda: There's no set agenda; in the best unconference tradition we'll decide on the agenda as we go along. That said, there are some topics and requests that I know of: * overview of the Koha codebase for new contributors * Git tutorial * 3.0 and 3.2 status and planning * discussing ideas for architectural and programming improvements for 3.2 and later * hackfest Communications: I will summarize the meetings in postings to the koha and koha-devel mailing lists. For blogs, Twitter, Flickr, etc., let's use the tag kohacon09. There's no videoconference equipment, of course, but we can try using Skype, Jabber, or #koha if someone who is unable attend in person would like to participate. Thanks to David Schuster and the rest of the KohaCon committee for doing a wonderful job of organizing the conference, and thanks to the Holiday Inn for giving us use of the room (and coffee and tea!) gratis. Regards, Galen -- Galen Charlton VP, Research & Development, LibLime galen.charlton(a)liblime.com p: 1-888-564-2457 x709 skype: gmcharlt

Report for new acquisitions
by Cab Vinton 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

There doesn't seem to be a built-in report for Koha 3.0 that finds items added to the catalog after/ before a given date, or between two dates, & I'm not familiar with SQL syntax. Is this something that can be done with the Reports utility? Specifically, we'd like to use the dates in 952 $d ("Date acquired") to generate reports on our latest new materials (just author & title in most cases). I presume this would be fairly simple if we were using the Acquisitions module, but we're not going that route, at least for the moment, because of the extra time involved. Thank you, Cab Vinton, Director Sanbornton Public Library Sanbornton, NH

Re: [Koha] LDAP Not Replicating to Koha DB?&In-Reply-To=

LDAP is now working with eDirectory This is the section of the koha-conf.xml <useldapserver>1</useldapserver>  <ldapserver id="ldapserver" listenref="ldapserver"> <hostname>172.16.0.9</hostname> <base>ou=staff,o=KIS</base> <user>cn=****,o=kis</user>  <pass>*********</pass>  <replicate>0</replicate>  <update>0</update>  <mapping>  <firstname is="givenname" ></firstname> <surname is="sn" ></surname> <address is="workforceID" >KIS</address> <city is="workforceID" >Kodaikanal</city> <zipcode is="workforceID" >624 101</zipcode> <branchcode is="workforceID" >KISHS</branchcode> <userid is="uid" ></userid> <password is="workforceID" ></password> <email is="mail" ></email> <categorycode is="workforceID" >PT</categorycode> <phone is="workforceID"></phone> </mapping> </ldapserver> </config> What confused me is that in order to update or replicate the patron records in Koha I had to set <replicate>0</replicate> <update>0</update> Why value of 0 ? Should it not be 1 ?
