Items containing more than one biblio
by Beda Szukics 13 Sep '08

13 Sep '08

Hi In our library we have quit a lot of items containing more than one biblio (mostly pamphlets forming one volume, some time ago there was a hardworking bookbinder in our house). Is it possible to mangage these in Koha? One item record with multiple biblio records connected? Or the same barcode number for different item records? Greetings Beda

Re: [Koha] marc tag for keyword, Accession number
by Kathy Rippel 13 Sep '08

13 Sep '08

Speaking from a librarian's viewpoint and not a programmers.... Keyword searches actually search a combination of MARC tags, ranging from just a few (1xx, 2xx, 6xx) to all of them. If I were trying to input accession numbers in my Koha3 setup, I'd probably pick 942t (Copy number).

Summary of community meeting on #koha
by Galen Charlton 12 Sep '08

12 Sep '08

Hi, A number of Koha developers and users met today on #koha to discuss various project issues. Several project positions were voted on and are now filled: 3.2 Release Manager - Galen Charlton, LibLime Translation Manager - Chris Cormack, Catalyst Documentation Manager - Nicole Engard, LibLime 3.0 Release Maintainer - Henri-Damien Laurent, BibLibre Since Chris was not present for the meeting, I ask him to formally confirm that he's still wants to be Translation Manager. The position of QA manager for 3.2 remains open. The two candidates are Frédéric Demians (Tamil) and Joshua Ferraro (LibLime). Due to the absence of both candidates during all or part of the meeting and a debate about the responsibilities of the QA manager position, no decision has been made, and the discussion should be continued on the koha-devel mailing list. Several announcements were made: * I will set up gitosis on git.koha.org to allow Henri-Damien to push patches to the 3.0.x branch. * Henri-Damien announced that minor revisions of 3.0.x will be packaged and released every two months. * I announced a date of 10 October 2008 for the developers to complete review of the RFCs for 3.2. I will also send out another schedule proposal for the 3.2 development cycle. Various issues were raised that should be discussed on the mailing lists: * Coding standards for 3.2. * Moving the Koha manual from Google Sites once www.koha.org is running Plone. * Policies for ensuring that more patches are reviewed and tested. The full log of the meeting is at http://koha.org/cgi-bin/logs.pl?recall=recall&saved_query=2008-09-12%20meet… or equivalently, http://koha.org/cgi-bin/logs.pl?look=plain&startdate=2008091212:00:37&endda… Regards, Galen -- Galen Charlton VP, Research & Development, LibLime galen.charlton(a)liblime.com p: 1-888-564-2457 x709 skype: gmcharlt

Fwd: [Info] What's going on at indexdata.com?

I sent the attached message earlier, but it failed to go because I apparently specified too many recipients for the Koha list.

Hi Mike and Heikki - Thanks for running the test.indexdata.com that helps test this perl module. I hope you can come up with a replacement soon. In the meantime, I'm attaching a patch that attempts to check to see if the test server is available before running tests against it. Would you consider applying a patch like this sometime soon? Please let me know if you'd like the code to check for the test server in a different way, or for the test scripts to be arranged differently. Also, if you would like for me to make diffs against a code repository please point me to it. I was unable to find mention of one in the documentation. Thanks again for your work on this module. It really makes Koha much better. -Andy

Koha Holds Management
by Jim Minges 12 Sep '08

12 Sep '08

Hello, Do any other library systems or consortia or multibranch systems have an interest in differentiating the ability to place holds on specific items in order to reserve certain materials for local library use. We are looking at sponsorship through Liblime of a holds policy enhancement to allow holds requests to be treated in one of three ways in a multiple library environment: 1. Items that cannot be held at all. These items may still circulate, but patrons must come to the library to borrow them. 2. Items that can be placed on hold by patrons who belong to the item’s library. The patron’s home branch and the item’s branch must agree, or else the patron will not be able to place a hold. 3. Items that can be placed on hold by any patron, regardless of whether the patron and the item are attached to the same branch. (Most items will fall in this category.) Just wondering if other Koha users have any interest in this...

Reg Librarian Page Accessing
by Sai Bhalaji D. 12 Sep '08

12 Sep '08

Hi, I have Koha installed in Windows. On a standalone system when I type "intranet", it takes me to the Librarian Interface. When I type in the IP address of the system from any other system in the LAN, it shows me the User Interface. If someone can help me, how to access the librarian page from a system, that is in the same LAN. Please let me know if any details for this is required. Thanks, Sai Bhalaji.
