analytic cataloging in Koha?
by Linda Culberson 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

At our archives we try to provide fuller access to archival, genealogical, and photographic collections by doing analytic cataloging of significant individual parts or items within a collection. Each of those pieces gets its own individual bibliographic record that then links back to the "main" record for the collection. Is this functionality in Koha? I am particularly interested in how to get the main and the analytic records to link. Thanks in advance for your help. -- Linda Culberson lculber(a)mdah.state.ms.us Archives and Records Services Division Ms. Dept. of Archives & History P. O.

Salvete! >I am in favor of such Koha Conference. It will help not only current >users of Koha, but will also help those who are deciding whether to use >Koha as their ILS. As am I :D Perhaps it would be nifty to have a library campish event rather than a proper conference the first year. I'd hate to think of folks losing out for cost reasons. I've done some Conference planning work with my Fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega; though I wasn't the head of any of the groups, I was involved enough with the committees to know the basic steps of things. One of the niftiest things APO did was cordon everything off into meaningful regions. It was nice knowing that even though you'd travel cross country one year, the next cycle it'd be in your backyard again. It's almost unquestionably time for a proper user's group. Cheers, Brooke

Apology and install problem
by Paul Yachnes 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

First, I'd like to apologize for my previous questions. Somehow I had inadvertently installed Koha 3 Alpha. I don't know how I did this or how I didn't realize I'd done this even though the tar file and installation folder were clearly labeled so. My only excuse is that I'm new to all this. Now I have removed it and am attempting to install RC 1. The first thing I saw when running Makefile.PL was that I had to install additional Perl modules, which I did. Now I get the following error: Writing Makefile for koha Unable to open MakeMaker.tmp: Permission denied at /usr/share/perl/5.8/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 878. Where do I go from here? Paul

How should the directory permissions be set? Are thee other issues? Paul

Greg, I have thought of it - but as you mentioned - I've been thinking mostly about 3.0. I do love that you brought this topic to the list's attention. I've never organized a conference before, so I'm not sure what's involved, but if there is interest, maybe someone here can explain what steps we need to take - and if it's even feasible this coming year. --- Nicole C.
