KOHA CON 2009?
by David Schuster 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

There is a question on the table if this meeting announced as an American Conference for Koha should be more like a Koha Con 2009 with the format similar to 2006. With that we would like to schedule a meeting to discuss on IRC the KohaCon possibility. There is a wiki at: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=kohacon2009 - to better help organize some of this... Who wants/would be interested in attending this IRC (and eventually a full conference?) What days of the week are best for this IRC? (sooner the better) Times are best for you - GMT for this IRC? - http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/ In this discussion we would talk if a developer meeting is of interest? Should it be pre or post the Conferece that is being planned for April 16/17 in the US? How much time should be considered 1 or 2 days? What should those days look like? Where is the best place to house them(how many is of concern along with other needed items if they are to meet) In addition I would love to hear any input this group might have for the April 16/17 "conference" as well. Presentations - workshop etc... how it should be structured for a meeting of users and developers.

Staging MARC files
by Cab Vinton 21 Nov '08

21 Nov '08

Hi all: We've been doing a retrospective conversion project in-house & we've created a file with some 4,200 MARC records (approx. 3-4 mb), using v.3.01.00.002. I'm in the process of trying to stage these records into the reservoir. It's taking a very long time, however, so I'm wondering if folks have any guidelines or rules of thumb about preferred file size / max # of records per file. The most I believe I've staged at one time previously was 54, which went very smoothly. A separate question: When managing staged records, it looks like users have access to just the last 15 batches. Is this correct? Thank you, Cab Vinton, Director Sanbornton Public Library Sanbornton, NH

Opac indexing
by Scott Kushner 21 Nov '08

21 Nov '08

When I import marc records I can search them in Cataloging but not in Opac. What am I missing here? Do I have to run some procs or scripts or something? Can't find any documentation on this. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Scott Kushner Information Technologies Middletown Public Library

Add biblio problem from Z3950 search on 2.2.9
by ppope＠iprimus.com.au 20 Nov '08

20 Nov '08

Has anyone managed to get the "Add Biblio and Go to Items" function working on 2.2.9 after a Z3950 search? I have finally managed to get the Z3950 search to return data and populate the marc fields when I import a book but when I click the button to add biblio and go to items, I get an internal server error. The koha error log entry is below. If anyone has this working, would you mind sharing your Biblio.pm and addbiblio.pl scripts with me so I can compare to mine?

Re: [Koha] Simple manual cataloguing
by Lenora Oftedahl 20 Nov '08

20 Nov '08

Actually, I have two different frameworks to choose from when entering records. I have the default which I've edited to reflect OCLC standards and what I need for my local catalog. I also have a Brief Input framework with just a few fields for the non-catalog staff to enter brief records so we at least know titles in the library. Both seem to work just fine and I can switch records back and forth between the frameworks. But I'm using 2.2.9 still. Does this ability to have multiple frameworks change in 3.0? Thanx.

Fresh Koha 3.0 install -- z39.50 search errors
by Дмитрий Журавлев 20 Nov '08

20 Nov '08

Good day, everybody. I have several questions about my Koha 3.0 fresh installation. I have installed Koha 3 (stable) on ubuntu 8.04 using debian etch installation manual. Koha is running now, but I have some problems: 1) On Release notes page (http://koha.org/about-koha/news/nr1218407616.html) there is written that Koha is fully translated to many languages including Russian (I reside in Moscow, Russia). But it is partially translated. Is it a mistake? 2) Koha 3.0 documentation says: "By default Koha comes with a connection to the Library of Congress catalog" (Look here: http://sites.google.com/a/liblime.com/koha-manual/Home/Table-of-Contents/ad…) But when I loaded Z39.50 configuration page for the first time -- it was blank. No Z39.50 servers are added by default during installation. Is it a bug? 3) I added new Z39.50 server for searching (the server of Library of Congress -- z3950.loc.org) but searching returns nothing saying that nothing was found or gives away with an error: >The following fatal error has occurred: >substr outside of string at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Charset.pm line 241. Well, which search engine does Koha 3.0 use? I've read about z3950daemon: >IMPORTANT: The z3950search will NOT work until your system >administrator has activated the z3950 client daemon on your server. The >daemon is in KohaDirectory/script/z3950daemon. It should be added to >rc.d to be launched during server boot. but there is no script/ directory in /usr/share/koha/ and in whole subtree! How can I fix Z39.50 search? Thanks.

Hello. In testing Koha 3.0 alpha, I have a user who has checked out a book which is now overdue by 3 weeks. According to the overdue/fine rules, he should be getting charged $0.25/day in overdue fines, but when he logs into his account it shows the overdue book in red but displays "No" in the fines column *****************************************************************************>The information contained in this communication is confidential and > may be legally privileged.
