Any help will be appreciated. i am running Koha 3.01 and suse 11.0 Thanks Olugbenga Adara Mobile: 234-803-3220288

Hi Koha, Is there a way to export Authorities from Koha? I'd like to export them, batch process them to fix some marc8 vs UTF-8 encoding problem, and reimport them. Can someone suggest a workflow? Thanks, Eric

Offline Koha installation on Debian Lenny without using CPAN
by Abhishek Amberkar [अभिषेक] 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Dear List Members, We have successfully done offline Koha installation without using CPAN, on Debian. This method is useful where no internet connection is available. You can find installation document here. http://www.kohaindia.org/debian-lenny/index.html This method is also tested for Koha 3.00.01. I would like to thank my company's library automation team (Koha Division). These guys helped me to understand basic working of Koha, which encouraged me to find hassel free and seemless method of Koha installation on Debian without using CPAN. -- With Regards Abhishek Amberkar Learn to appreciate a beauty within...

Importing/Transfering Items and Records to KOHA Database
by Frances Sandeman 27 Feb '09

Can records and items in the Access Microsoft database be transfered easily into the KOHA 3.0 database? These are mainly inhouse and published reports so they don't have catalogue records.

Barcode Prefixes
by Frances Sandeman 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Does KOHA 3.0 accept and is it able to read a combination of Barcode letter prefixes and numbers? I want to order barcodes customised for our Library. eg. AWE00001 and i did a test run by adding this barcode no. to an item by manually typing it in and it was accepted. I don't have a barcode reader/wand yet. I just wanted to check first before ordering a batch of barcodes.

Item Status Equivalent
by kevin smith 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Yesterday I asked about exporting bib and item info from Horizon, and I decided the easiest thing to do was to add a new export target in Horizon that puts info in the 952 tag rather than in 949. Now I have mapped the proper subfields to the corresponding fields shown in the item MARC to KOHA table. My only problem is with Item Status. In Horizon each item has a status defined in a single place, Item_Status. This could include checked in, transit, bindery, damaged, etc. In Koha it looks as if these things do not all go into the same field, ie circulation status is in On Loan while lost status is in Item Lost, etc. How have others dealt with this when migrating data? Thanks so much. -- Kevin Smith Assistant Director Cass District Library AND The Fiddling Librarian: http://ashkev.weblogs.us

advice on re-installing (in order to fix utf8 issues)?
by Jeffrey LePage 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Hello all, We have a mostly running Koha 3.00 installation that has had continuing problems with indexing failing due to the presence of wide characters in records. These wide characters seem to originate from both our imports of marc records and attempted imports of Z39.50 searches. I'm wondering if I should take advantage of the new 3.0.1 release to do a new install. We do not use zebra for indexing since we're a small library. This may have been a poor decision. Looking over this doc: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=encodingscratchpad and comparing it to our mysql database it looks as if the encoding is set up wrong. According to this doc: "You must create your Koha database after you set the character set defaults otherwise the database could be set to the wrong defaults " If I do a new install I will install on a different machine. We're using ubuntu now, but we can easily use a different Linux distro. I notice that the docs seem to be oriented toward fedora or debian. -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
