I think this subject has been mentioned previously, but only briefly and tangentially. With the understanding that I am not a librarian, is there a generally accepted field in MARC where GIS (locational information) can be placed? Perhaps the 856 field? In what ways (besides having that field show up in an OPAC) does information here (or elsewhere) become useful? My general thought is that it might be nice to be able to have GIS info show up "somewhere", and enable people to click on something to the effect of "map it", and have that location show up on a Google map.

Hi, Andrew, thanks for sending this. I'll try to apply something along these lines to the next ZOOM-Perl release.

problem downloading reports
by Lexa Long 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

I am a new user to Koha 3.0 acquisitions. Today my problem is guided reports. I got the report constructed and run. Only the first part of the report showed on the screen. I need to check to see if I have entered some titles as I am entering material purchased before we began using Koha acquisitions. The report on screen showed only page 1 and did not indicate there were other pages. Since I could not see it on screen I wanted to download it. I then tried to download the report to excel but got an error message. The message was Error exporting report. When I had my test server that feature worked okay. Am I missing something somewhere? Is this a step in the install? I do not have a programmer and the person that installed the program is no longer here. I may be able to get some help on campus if I know how to fix the problem.

mistakes in acquisition
by Jolanta Kaun 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

Does anyone know how to correct a number of received items in acquisition when 'receive shipment' is processed already? There is no option for editing or deleting... I put too many items and this shows wrong in the budget now. Invoice and shipment sums are not matching... If I delete the item from a bib record, it does not help to correct budget numbers. Have this happened to you? And how do you correct those errors? Thanks, Jolanta Kaun LCC International University www.lcc.lt <http://www.lcc.lt>

Not able to enter personal name (MARC tag 100)
by Angela Chu 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

Hello, I am trying the demo Koha server (staff interface) at http://academic-staff.demo.kohalibrary.com/ I tried to create a new MARC record by entering some data into several field boxes, but was not able to enter a title into tag 100 subfield a (Personal name). I was even not able to move the mouse cursor to that box. I then attempted to change the tag 100 of an existing record in the database, but still not succeeded. Is this a bug of the MARC editor? Thank you Angela

Acquisitions funds
by Lexa Long 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

I am writing again. I am using Koha 3.0. Is there a way in Koha to change budget amounts without creating a new budget for a fund? My entire budget is not allocated at this time and some budgets may need to be adjusted as time goes on. If it is not possible to update these budgets does Koha accept negative balances? Thanks.
