Koha / Biblios, integration of batch searching?
by Wade 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

I realize that you can integrate Biblios into Koha. Just wondering if is there currently a way to do a batch search/record download for a set of, say, ISBNs? In other words, I have a long list of ISBNs. I'd like to do a batch search on all the ISBNs simultaneously and download records found as a set. Doesn't appear possible on Biblios.net (without doing some custom work with their API). Just wondering if anyone has done any work on this already in relation to Koha / Biblios? TIA for any thoughts on this. Wade

End-user raining, MARC for UK, hosted installation, Search
by Nelson Fredsell -CCE 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Thanks to all who have responded to my earlier question as we consider the feasibility of using Koha in our very small libraries. 1) Has anyone experienced insurmountable learning-curve difficulties in terms of librarian use and administration? One of our libraries is staffed by someone with minimal computer skills. Another is self-serve (user self-checkout), with books catalogued by our tertiary work-study students and very little oversight. I'm wondering to what extent support for these folks could be handled remotely. ie Will Koha fly if no one is physically present to mind the shop, from the technical side, once it's set up and the software works smoothly. 2) MARC - English language books not published in the U.S. - I've run a few ISBN numbers thru the z39.50 Search and come up empty-handed against the Library of Congress. Often, our books were published in the UK. Does the UK have a preferred "Search target"? 3) Running Koha on a shared box versus dedicated. What about running a Content Management System (CMS), wiki, or some other program simultaneously. With fewer than 50 transactions per day we might be paying too much for a hosted service. 4) Special Search features. We have a special cataloguing number for some of our books, is it possible to display this number on the results, after a person does a search? Would I enter this number during the MARC cataloguing? Where? - there's so many fields! What about cataloguing chapter summaries for a book? Where might one enter this info? Thanks for any responses, Nelson Centre for Creative Education Cape Town, South Africa www.cfce.org.za

Hi, I am going to install Koha on Ubuntu Intrepid in a few days time. I was wondering if there is a restriction on the version of MySQL required. Thanks. -- Please reply to this list only.

Re: [Koha] How to search an item in Koha 3
by Joe Atzberger 01 Mar '09

Searches hit the index, not the entire DB, for obvious reasons. If data isn't showing in the index, you should make sure the index is built and updated, debug with yaz-client on command line, and confirm proper mappings in frameworks. --Joe On Mar 1, 2009 11:59 AM, "Thommy M." <thommy.m.malmstrom(a)gmail.com> wrote: when I browse to http://myserver I get the search interface.
