importing MARC21 records
by Edwardson Pedragosa 02 Sep '08

02 Sep '08

Hi, We are currently using concourse and i tested importing MARC records from it to KOHA 3. When i search in opac, there are results which means the import was successful, but OPAC says holdings (0). I asked this question in IRC and they told me about 952 tag. But don't know how do map or do it? Another thing is that the barcode from concourse was not properly imported into koha, which mean in koha, barcode field is empty. Can somebody assist me pls. Thanks. Edward TH

CDS/ISIS to Marc conversion issue
by d.saibhalaji＠gmail.com 01 Sep '08

01 Sep '08

Hi, We have our library running on CDS/ISIS database. I use the bulkimport.pl script for loading into the mysql. Most of the fields get loaded into the database except for the barcode (accession #). Can someone let me know the possible reason for it. Can it be due to multiple values for the field? If so, please let me know how to resolve it since I've tried most of the attempts in the marc_subfield_structure table. Please let me know if some more information is required. Thanks, Sai Bhalaji Sri Sathya Sai University.

Koha log viewer interface "Go" button
by H.S. 01 Sep '08

01 Sep '08

Hello, I just upgraded from an earlier 3.0 version to the latest snapshot using the upgrade method. Everything worked okay (was missing a few perl modules). This is on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon. I have a little feedback. The "Go" button in the Log Viewer is at the end of the second option under Export. IMHO, it should be placed a bit further below the radio options. Otherwise a novice computer user will tend to think it goes just with the second radio button. Regards.

Windows Install for Koha 3
by Marc Jones 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

Now that Koha v3 has been released for almost 3 weeks, I was wondering if anyone has stepped up to finish porting it to Windows. While I have worked in the computer industry for many years and have dabbled a bit in linux during my time, I am way too busy to learn another OS (linux) to the level where I would feel comfortable implementing a product Koha system for our small non-profit archive. Still, we are looking forward to the new version of Koha as we do not want to implement the older version when v3 is so near release. Is there anyone in the broader community that can push this a little bit? Sometimes all it takes is a small amount of thinking to discover a possible candidate for the work and a little nudge to encourage them to volunteer their time to finish a much needed project. Please don't forget us Windows folks out here. We are very much in need of this system. Thank you, Marc Jones Board Member (and IT support) Lambda Archives of San Diego

bulkauthimport.pl
by David Schuster 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

OK I have searched the archives and don't see anything on this and when I do ./bulkauthimport.pl it doesn't give me any clue as to what the flags are. There isn't any documentation on the documentation site yet either so if anyone can shed some light on how to use this I would appreciate it. I'm getting Can't locate C4 .... and then begin failed --compilation aborted at bulkauthimport.pl line 18. Suggestions? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/bulkauthimport.pl-tp19207064p19207064.html Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

koha deployment statistics
by Chris Hammond-Thrasher 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Folks, I am doing a presentation on koha and greenstone at pacinet in the Cook Islands next week. What are the latest figures on koha deployment? I recall that there were 100 koha sites registered on koha.org about two years ago, but I do not see that registration list there any longer. Thanks in advance for any help provided. -cht =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Chris Hammond-Thrasher MLIS CISSP Library Systems Manager University of the South Pacific Library Suva, Fiji +679 3232233 hammondthrasher_c(a)usp.ac.fj

Koha 3 and LDAP
by Landers, Paul 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Does anyone have detailed instructions for enabling and configuring Koha 3 with LDAP for authentication? This would be one of the major reasons for us moving to Koha from our current ILS. The man page for the LDAP plugin indicates that LDAP must supply *ALL* required fields for patron records. Our I.T. has advised us of the following for our LDAP server: It can be used for authentication only. It will not return data for fields. It will not allow anonymous binds. It will not return a password for Koha to compare. Koha must supply the password or the hash to LDAP. Given these constraints, how do we configure Koha to use LDAP? Paul

Re: [Koha] Branch libraries

I'm including the Koha list in this answer so that others can help you out too. Do you have the 'IndependantBranches' system preference set to OFF? It sounds to me like you might have it on and that could be causing your problems. --- Nicole C.
