Re: [Koha] Cataloguing articles within serials
by Nelson Fredsell -CCE 19 Mar '09

Hi Verónica, Does this mean I would first catalogue the serial as an item, then I would catalogue each article completely separate, as an additional item in our catalogue, and reference the serial using 773? This way when a patron searches subject (or keywords?), both the serial and the specific article within that serial edition would be found? Because a serial has multiple articles with multiple subjects/keywords, might it be advisable to enter lots of details on the serial entry? Or, is this generally not necessary and one should only need enter specifics (subject/keywords) against the article entry. In addition to serials with articles, we have lots of loose articles that are not physically located inside the original serial. These loose articles are bound in ring-binder notebooks. I suppose in this case I would reference the ring-binder notebook in 773?

Thank you, Joy, for the detailed explanation. A responding question I put to Verónica Lencinas in Argentina is whether I would enter both a serial and its articles as main items. To try and be clear, a serial with 10 articles would then result in 11 main entries in the ILS. Would this confuse patrons? However, I suspect it would be preferable to do it this way as opposed to 1 main item with 10 entries in TOC 505 repeatable fields so that both Keyword *and* Subject fields could be used for an article, and therefore more searchable by patrons.

First login error
by Paul Yachnes 19 Mar '09

I have installed Koha 3.00.01 on Ubuntu 8.04 following the directions in the Wiki. On my first login, I get: Koha error The following fatal error has occurred: Access denied for user 'kohaadmin'@'localhost' (using password: YES) at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Context.pm line 666.

I thought it might be a problem with privileges and checking the koha database in phpmyadmin I saw that none of the privileges had been set for user kohaadmin, so I set all global and database specific privileges, but I still get the same error. Can anyone suggest what my next step should be? Thanks. Paul Yachnes

Good Morning All Has anyone come across an issue when you import your Follett catalog export in Koha 3 a large number of your holdings info doesn't get imported?

Koha Debian package
by H.S. 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

Hello, Just wondering if a Koha Debian package is being worked on? I believe that once that is available, proliferation of Koha installations will balloon. I have installed it a few times, but difficulty in installing it for a person not familiar with system administration is probably the leading cause that more are not trying it out. At the same time, I realize that Koha is being under development for quite some and there still is no Debian package. Any particular reason for this? Are the various new perl modules needed which are not in Debian repos a big reason? Or is it just the want of developers doing the task? I hope the commercial aspect of Koha is not an impediment to this. Thanks. -- Please reply to this list only. I read this list on its corresponding newsgroup on gmane.org.

Printing Spine and Book or Circulation Card Labels
by Nora Blake 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

Greetings. Has anyone had success creating a label template that will allow BOTH spine and book or circulation card labels to be printed together out of Koha 3.01? It seems like Koha can only print the spine label or the book/circulation card label as separate functions, not both together. If you have had success printing both types of labels at the same time, would you be willing to share your template settings with me as well as information on the label stock you are using?

Lost indexing
by Lenora Oftedahl 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

Ok. I've been having some trouble with indexing on my production server. The public server is indexed fine and finds everything. The production server will only find what was loaded at the initial load. New stuff and changes to records are there, but not found or recognized. Now, we've lost even the initial load. All searches come back as Nothing Found. Could someone please tell me where the indexing is located? Is it part of the Koha table structure? Or is the information stored in a different file? Thanx.
