re installing with a clean Debian and Koha 3.0
by David Schuster 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

I'm doing a clean reload as I played a lot with Debian and think I messed it up pretty good. I did a backup of my 3.0 beta and plan to reload it. Here is my question: I see that Apache now comes with Debian already installed as part of the install. I also noticed that as I was doing the dselect it is pulling mysql. So for those that do Debian is it necessary to go through the work of downloading those up front? For a librarian doing this on their own they won't need to do that correct? Just checking... -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/reinstalling-with-a-clean-Debian-and-Koha-3.0-tp19042… Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

AmazonContent-- Hit and Miss?
by Max Crowe 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Hi: I'm a Library Director at a small library in New Hampshire. We just started using Koha (3.00.00.107), and we're using the AmazonContent function to have our catalog pick up book covers and reviews from Amazon. It works, but I can't help but notice that the hit rate for the interface is rather low-- there's a large number of items in our collection for which we aren't getting any book covers or reviews. This would be expected, certainly, for some of the older and more esoteric things in our collection. But I'm finding that even as I catalog new items-- Love the One You're With by Emily Griffin, for example-- they also aren't getting any hits from Amazon. (And, if you search Amazon, you can easily find the book cover and reviews.) Are any other libraries using this function? If so, what sort of hit/miss ratio are you getting? Is there some field I should be using when cataloging to ensure this function works better? Max Crowe, Library Director New Durham Public Library

I've been trying to install Net::Z3950::ZOOM on a couple of different machines, one for Koha, and have been getting the following for several days: # Failed test 'connection to 'test.indexdata.com:2118' refused (10000)' I can force the install. Also 'IRSpy Find a target' at http://targettest.indexdata.com/find.html is giving me: Proxy Error The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. The proxy server could not handle the request GET /find.html. Reason: DNS lookup failure for: irspy.indexdata.com -- Bob

Re: [Koha] Barcode reader
by Nicole Engard 22 Aug '08

I've never used 2.2.9 :( But considering the fact that barcode scanners today are mostly plug and play I'm pretty sure you'll have no problems. I'll leave it to someone else to confirm that I'm write (or wrong). The one suggestion I have is that you check to see that your barcode scanner can send a 'return' to the computer so you don't have to click submit after scanning your barcode. --- Nicole C.

22 Aug '08

Dear list members, I need to add some additional fields on the item level of our records. For now, I decided to fill notes field in koha.items table with that data, but I am not satisfied because my data have specific meaning. What shoud I do? Is it advisable to add more fields in items table, or shoud I stick with what I already have? Marijana --- Marijana Glavica Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Libraries I.
