CGI Sessions errors?
by Rakesh Mistry 16 Oct '08

16 Oct '08

Hi I think I've managed to install Koha now (not sure if it's successfully!) I installed CGI::Session (V4.30) manually as per the advice of this page: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=ubuntu_gutsy When I browse to the initial page http://localhost:8080 I get a "Production Mode - trapped fatal error" I also looked at this: http://www.nabble.com/Koha-3.0-beta-on-Kubuntu-gutsy---% 22production-mode---trapped-fatal-error%22-td17071451.html But not sure it was that helpful as already installed CGI::Session manually. Unfortunately I noticed these errors in my log (not the entire log file): [Thu Oct 16 15:06:36 2008] [error] [client 192.168.1.217] [Thu Oct 16 15:06:36 2 008] mainpage.pl: DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Table 'koha.language_descriptio ns' doesn't exist at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Languages.pm line 339.

Shelving control number
by Marcel de Rooy 16 Oct '08

16 Oct '08

Hi all, I have a question on how you deal in Koha with shelving control number (items.stack, default tag 952t). Since this field is a tinyint(1), it should be between -128 and 127. How did you resolve situations where e.g. 160 small books are on one shelf? *If* the field would not have been signed, we could at least have gone up to 255 books per shelf. Any comments are welcome! Thanks. Marcel de Rooy

Errors when installing CPAN modules on Ubuntu
by Rakesh Mistry 16 Oct '08

16 Oct '08

Hi all, I'm trying to install Koha 3.0 on an Ubuntu Gutsy computer using the instruction found at http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=ubuntu_gutsy Unfortunately I'm getting some errors when installing some of the CPAN modueles (not the ZMARC one). I've attached two text files with the errors. These are the two commands I execute separately: sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Class::Factory::Util' sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::LDAP' Can someone please tell me what I need to do to continue? Thanks Rax

Delhi Public Library Catalogue Goes Live with Koha 3.0
by Basu Talikoti 16 Oct '08

16 Oct '08

Hi all Delhi Public Library catalogue is going live on 2nd October with Koha 3.0, the consortia-quality open-source library management software. Users from across the world and nearly 45000 DPL members can now access the most current catalogue of *Delhi Public Library system *on its website at * http://www.dpl.gov.in* or *http://59.176.17.111* DPL is very proud to be the first library in India to implement the latest version of Koha 3.0. DPL at present has 1500000 (15 lakh) books in its holdings spread across its network of zonal and branch libraries spread all over Delhi. Retro-conversion of such a massive collection is a huge and time consuming task. Hence DPL has planned to make implement koha in phases. To begin with the online catalogue of *current acquisitions* *& books received under the Delivery of Books Act from 2007 *and about 70,000 D.B.Act book's record available in cds/isis and conversion from cds/isis to MARC21 is already under way. Retro-conversion of old catalogue records is going to start soon and in the near future the entire catalogue will be made available online. This is an important facet of DPL's modernization programme which was kick-started early this year. Other major initiatives are recently introduced *Internet access service*, a totally *revamped and refurbished childrens'* section. These new services are now available in the three libraries situated at Sarojini Nagar, S P Mukherjee Marg in Old Delhi and Patel Nagar. Soon DPL is going to use KOHA for computerizing circulation of DVDs in its three zonal libraries (Central Library, Sarojini Nagar and Patel Nagar). Response from public to these new services has been overwhelming and these will be introduced in other libraries as well in a phased manner. Delhi Public Library is an autonomous organization under the Ministry of Culture and governed by Delhi Library Board, started as a UNESCO project in the year 1951 by the Govt. of India. Delhi Public Library system includes a network of Zonal Libraries, Branches & Sub-branches Libraries, R.C.Libraries, Community Libraries, Deposit Stations, Mobile Library, Braille library, etc. spread all over Delhi. DPL provides free services to Delhi citizens. Its large book stock includes books in Hindi, English, Urdu, Punjabi & other Indian Languages, and almost all subjects are represented in its collection. The Delhi Public Library is also one of the four recipient libraries under the provision of Delivery of Books & Newspaper (Public Libraries) Act 1954 and busiest public library in Southeast Asia. *For further information in this regard pl. contact:* *Director* *Delhi Public Library* *S.P.Mukherjee Marg, Delhi-6* *Ph:23958747, 23991297* *Email:dpl@dpl.gov.in <Email%3Adpl(a)dpl.gov.in>, delhipubliclibrary(a)gmail.com * *Basavaraj* *Asstt lib & Information Officer* *DPL *

Re: [Koha] Lists/Virtual Shelves not working in OPAC
by Betsy Dintaman 15 Oct '08

15 Oct '08

We have a similar problem with our lists (3.0). If I am working from a screen with a list of titles on it, all my lists public and private are in the dropdown box at the head of the list. However, if I get an individual record up and choose Save to your lists from the right side, only my private lists appear in the dropdown box that comes up in the popup screen and not the public lists that I created. It's only from the individual record screen that it doesn't work, but it would really help to have this function.

Definitely bad behavior. I'm guessing it has to do with the upgrade, but someone else will have to confirm.

Hi all, I'm new to the list and trying to learn a few things about Koha and library systems in general ;) Has anyone had any experience migrating catalogue information from a system called LibWin to Koha? If so, do you have any tips / comments to share on the process? Thanks Rax

ISBN discrepancy for Amazon content
by Betsy Dintaman 15 Oct '08

15 Oct '08

I understand in order to get the Amazon content, we must use only 10-digit ISBNs in a bib record. Was it ever determined whether this is an Amazon or a Koha problem? More and more books have only 13-digit numbers, what are the implications of having only the 10-digit numbers in for future use of perhaps another source of enhanced content? When the 10-digit ISBN won't work, or when there is only a 13-digit number, I check the item on the Amazon website and often find an ISBN number listed that is nowhere on the book, though the cover, book, edition. etc. is clearly the correct one. I'm uncomfortable with using an ISBN in the record that doesn't correspond with anything in the book, but I want the picture! Advice?
