Hello, all! In our latest exchange, on 27 May 2022 at 09:00 [JST], I received this from Karin Fischer: > Between major versions there can be changes in the file structure and new files added often linked to new features. But this might not come so much as a surprise. I think we'd need more information on the confusing changes in order to tell you if things are as they should be. Yes, that’s what I told the team because every software package I’ve used has been restructured at some time in its development and often quite a few times over its lifespan. So does Koha from what I’ve seen, especially in its schema and file structure. That said, Biblio is the problem. The IT team and I were able to verify that the TAR files my library sent were correctly loaded into and accessible through Koha v. 21.11 — excepting the bibliographic information. When we checked MySQL directly, the bib. Info. also was there in addition to the patrons, preferences, and everything else. It’s now a matter of linking Koha with Biblio. Oddly, the IT team can access everything including the bibliographic information from the local host on tis site but not over the network setup yet. The team will be building the anew from the virtual machine of our development server and trying to see where the problem lies. Thanks for your confirmation, Karin. 気を付けて。 -- Charles.

Changes in File Structure
by Charles Kelley 26 May '22

26 May '22

Hello, all! My library has a new IT team working on the migration. The team reports that it sees in the new version (v. 21.11) files and folders that are not in the our current version (v. 20.05), and it's confused. Is this to be expected? Many thanks! -- よろしくお願いします。 -- Charles.

Patron logins, self registration and existing accounts
by Elaine Bradtke 24 May '22

24 May '22

We're a research library. Only members of the Society have borrowing privileges and very few borrow items. All current members have patron accounts. We're looking at the simplest way to implement user logins. I'm trying to understand how self registration and existing patrons work together (or not) in regards to user logins. Two questions: 1) Every member has a membership id number, a combination of numbers and letters (different from their borrowed number). It would be a simple thing to use their membership id number as their temporary password (allowing them to change the password once they've logged in). Does this make sense? 2) We have visiting researchers who aren't members and would like to allow them to self-register. If we enable self-registration, what happens if someone with an existing (member) account attempts to self-register? Would it detect the possible duplicate? Will it create a second account? If there are duplicates, is it possible to merge them? Just trying to anticipate what will happen before we commit one way or the other.

Question / UX defect
by C.S. Hayward 21 May '22

21 May '22

Question: is there ever added value in including hyphens in an ISBN that would be lost if hyphens were stripped before lookup? I included hyphens when reporting bibliographic information, including the ISBNs of the two obscure titles I had failed to find, and was advised not to use hyphens when searching by ISBN. But I had already stripped the hyphens when searching: I included them for completeness when posting bibliographic information for the unfindable titles. If there is never benefit from retaining hyphens from a submitted ISBN, then I would suggest a UX enhancement of ignoring hyphens when doing lookups. I don’t see added value for having searches fail if the ISBN includes hyphens as given. Sent from ProtonMail for iOS

Click Tracker
by Ma. Victoria H. Silva-Manuel 20 May '22

20 May '22

Hi. I am using the SQL report below for our click tracker: SELECT count(*) AS 'No. of Times Clicked', biblio.title AS 'Title', URL > FROM linktracker JOIN biblio USING(biblionumber) WHERE date(timeclicked) BETWEEN <<Date BETWEEN (yyyy-mm-dd)|date>> AND > <<and (yyyy-mm-dd)|date>> GROUP BY url I want to add item type filter, so I tried to add it to WHERE clause: SELECT count(*) AS 'No. of Times Clicked', biblio.title AS 'Title', URL > FROM linktracker > JOIN biblio USING(biblionumber) > WHERE date(timeclicked) BETWEEN <<Date BETWEEN (yyyy-mm-dd)|date>> AND > <<and (yyyy-mm-dd)|date>> AND i.itype = <<Item type|itemtypes>> > GROUP BY url But I'm getting the following error: *The following error was encountered:* The database returned the following error: Unknown column 'i.itype' in 'where clause' Please check the log for further details. What am I doing wrong? -- Ma. Victoria H. Silva-Manuel Registered Librarian, 3892

Very, very beginner question: Followup
by C.S. Hayward 19 May '22

19 May '22

Having added a first test item, I thought I would try to add to the catalog the dozen or so books that happened to be on a desk on the library. I tried to search by ISBN, and the next two books were at least technically findable on Amazon by ISBN, but did not come up in the Z39.50/SRU search. They were, respectively: St. Tikhon's Seminary Press: The Great Book of Needs, Volume III: The Occasional Services, South Canaan: St. Tikhon's Seminary Press, 1999, 1-878997-58-0 Cavarnos, Constantine, Modern Orthodox Saints: St. Cosmas Aitolos, Belmont: Instirute for Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies, 1971, 0-914744-29-1 The library contains books that people have heard about, and obscurities. If a book does not come up by ISBN, how should I be approaching entering a book for which I can find standard bibliographic information? Would it be appropriate to click on "New Record," populate a record with the fields I have (possibly incomplete) and then try to save, navigating to any mandatory fields I haven't filled in? Thanks,
