Printing barcode and spine labels
by Irene Sachs 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

Dear List We are using Koha 3 and are trying to print barcode labels. After following the instructions in the manual we are able to create labels and show them in PDF format. However, the labels are incomplete. They show all specified details including the title, call number and barcode number but do not actually create the barcode itself. We have tried specifying all available barcode types from the drop down box with the same result. Can anybody help please? Also how do you specify when you want a spine label. Again after reading the manual I can't find any way to create a label that does not include a barcode type. Many thanks _________________________________________________________________ Time for change?

Something to chew on - Subject Conspectus
by BWS Johnson 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

Salvete! As far as I can tell, this isn't being considered now for future inclusion. While there are improvements slated for reports, I don't think there's an overhaul planned that would bring things up to the level of fine detail that would be useful for the purpose of serving as, or going a long way towards a conspectus. RDA seems to have ducked the issue, but with the rules just now kind of sort of out http://www.rdaonline.org/constituencyreview/ it seems like they've temporarily ducked the subject stickiness. (I skimmed, it's early yet!) My mind goes back to the nifty feature in the Extensible Catalogue that essentially brute forced authority files. It would be neat to have a similar feature to operate on subjects where possible. The subroutine could check a given record, see if it were missing a Dewey, an LC, or a SuDoc number, then attempt to pull the missing field from the world at large. This could then go into a queue where a cataloguer could check what the computer was doing and confirm or deny changes. It's obviously more complex than the authority check that the XC lads are on to, but man would it be worthwhile. Having this coupled with a granular subject based circulation report would allow for ridiculously high quality collection development. Following my closing is a letter that went across the GOVDOC listserv from someone else about one of the current problems in only having things indexed under one subject heading, which was what got me rethinking this. Cheers, Brooke I'm going to reply to the list because I am also interested in this question. Our library has tried unsuccessfully to do this kind of analysis. Most of our current collection analysis depends on Dewey or LC call numbers. We map the Dewey and LC numbers to specific subject categories and then run a count of the number of items held by each library in our consortium based on that call number range. You can see the results at http://www.alc.org/acdc/INDEX.HTML The problem is we could never map Sudoc with fine enough accuracy to the Dewey or LC classification system, so Sudoc numbers are NOT included in our analysis, to my intense regret. There was some discussion a while back on govdoc-l about a crosswalk between Sudoc and Dewey/LC, but I don't recall that anyone had a ready made solution. Many of the oclc records for documents have LC numbers associated with them. It may be possible to include some govdocs by using the associated LC number contained in the bib. record. This would pick up some documents but not all. I asked Marcive once about how many GPO records came with an LC class number. They said it was a very small percentage. While attempting to use the predetermined LC class might be be better than nothing, but it still seems like a less than desirable solution. I would be interested in what others are doing.

Fwd: transferring data from Windows 2.2.9 to Linux 3.0.0
by Carmel Young 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Carmel Young <carmely.cunima(a)googlemail.com> Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2008 08:25:28 +0200 Subject: transferring data from Windows 2.2.9 to Linux 3.0.0 To: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz Received the following advice from the list (thanks heaps!!!), but can't follow the link in No. 3. > Koha mailing list > Koha at lists.katipo.co.nz > http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha > > Yes, you will. There is a tool called MySQL Query Browser that you can use to back up your 2.2.9 database. Then, here's what you have to do: 1. Recreate the 2.2.9 database on the Linux system, using the backup file that you transferred like so: mysql -u root -p koha < backup.sql (where koha is the name of your database and backup.sql is the backup file) 2. Install Koha 3.0.0 on the Linux system 3. Then follow this guide: http://wiki.koha**.org/doku.php?id=22_to_30 -- Jesse Weaver Software Developer, LibLime Any suggestions> Is the link good? Carmel Young P.S. I have added your name, Galen, because my posting bounced. Said I wasn't a member of the list, but I seem to be getting the emails no problem!

Adding schools as branches to a public library Koha install
by Tim McMahon 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

We're checking into the idea of adding the school district to a Koha 3 install. We were thinking of adding each school as a branch. We let Koha assign our patron barcodes and use our own item barcodes. The schools buy their item barcodes and use student numbers. There shouldn't be any overlap in our numbering systems. I'm looking for any tips on settings, importing items and patrons, things to look out for or anything else that would be helpful in a situation like this. -- Tim McMahon Technical Services West Liberty Public Library 400 N.

FW: Koha Apache2 Issues?
by Barry Cannon 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

I have been trying to do a test DEB install of Koha 3.0 and I keep running in to the same issue. I get through the INSTALL doc fine, with no issues, but once I try to launch the web setup I keep getting redirected to the default apache site. Symbolic link is good as is the koha-httpd.conf file but I just can't figure out why it's not redirecting correctly. No help in either Apache log or Koha log. Any suggestion would be great. Thanks Barry

Circulation history and 3.2
by Sharon Moreland 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

Hello, According to the developer's wiki, the 3.2 System Groups work will be: 1. Adding the ability to link settings to a branch. This means that a setting can be “owned” by a branch, i.e., have one value or set of values at one branch and a different value at another. Settings that could be owned by a branch include: * item types * patron categories *acquisitions settings such as funds and currencies *selected system preferences *authorized values *notice templates (note that this is related to Mason’s RFC of May 29). *calendars *MARC record matching rules My question is this - will of those "selected system preferences" include the ability to turn off/on circulation history at the 'branch' level? Our consortium is made up of many independent public libraries and they would like to have local control of this feature. Sharon Moreland NEKLS/NExpress Thanks for the sound cue's info!
