Setting Biblio Data Parameters
by Karina Tumon 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hi everyone, I'm stuck with setting up the MARC framework (V.2.2.9) I'll be creating a monograph framework, which will contain the following fields: 000, 001, 003, 005,008, 010, 015, 020, 035, 040 and so on. Is it safe to delete the other fields that I will not need in this particular framework? Also, does anyone know of a subject authority list that I can download for free? And.is it important to set up the 'Authorised Values' at this initial stage? Or can that be done later when I become more familiarize with Koha? If I don't set up the 'Authorised Values' now, would that throw everything out of whack? I've read the low down on 'Authorised Values' but still not quite sure. Sorry. Thanking you all in advance, Karina Tumon

Koha 3 hosted on a 500mhz iBook
by Shorthouse, Alex 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

I work in a small, Mac-based school district. Three of our elementary school libraries still use old cards and stamps to check out books, because they do not have an ILS. We have been experimenting with Koha 2 for a few weeks, but wanted Z39.50 search features, so decided to test Koha 3. The only available Mac was a 500 mhz, 12 inch iBook, so that is where I installed Koha 3. It took a number of hours to get all the Perl modules, mySQL, and Apache set up, but I am happy to say it now works. You can take a look at the screenshot here: http://img386.imageshack.us/img386/5510/ibookkohaxv9.png If anyone else tries to install Koha on a Mac, the only possible confusing part is getting past Part 3 of the Web Installer. In "/etc/usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/installer" I had to edit install.pl line 604 to "my $strcmd = "/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql" " from "my strcmd = "mysql"" Otherwise, step 3 of the installer would not work, because Koha could not find mySQL. Koha 3 on this Mac is slow as molasses, but I am amazed that it works. In a few weeks I'll put Koha 3 beta on a dual core 2 ghz Intel XServe to really test it. -Alex Shorthouse

Libary Migration Using KOHA and PEARL?
by Adrian Thomas 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hello, I am the Assistant Librarian at The New York Psychoanalytic Societ and Institute in New York City. We have an old cataloging system called In-Magic. It is NOT a MARC system. We are applying for a grant to catalog our collection. It will reach about 55,000 records. We are really looking for a basic system that allows us to catalog everthing and step into the 21st Century. What can we get that will allow us to do this. We expect the project to take 3 years. What are the components that we need to make this happen. I would really appreciate any assistance anyone may have. Thanks.

Deleting MARC Frameworks
by Ramon Andinach 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hi there, As I don't have a librarian handy, while going through working things out I set up additional MARC Frameworks to mirror the Item Types (of which we defined 15). Now that I understand what's involved with MARC Frameworks better, I see that this is not necessary so I'm trying to delete some of these unnecessary frameworks. Whichever one I select says "This framework is used 312 times." and won't delete. It can't be that the framework is used by 312 different records, because there's only 20-odd items in the catalogue at the moment. Does this refer to the different MARC fields it the framework? Could someone please explain this message and how one would go about deleting unneeded MARC Frameworks? Thanks -ramon.

Koha 3 - new cataloging client?
by Meiling Li 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

A new professional cataloging client was mentioned in the Koha 3.0 Roadmap (http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:roadmap3.0#cataloging) Now that Koha 3 Beta is released, is the new cataloging client available yet? If yes, where and how can we find it? Thanks. ****************************************** Meiling Li LA Law Library Senior Database Administrator Los Angeles County Law Library mli(a)lalawlibrary.org ******************************************

Marc Authority Frameworks and Record Displays
by Ramon Andinach 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hi there, Probably a fairly basic question here, but from a non-librarian. I'm noticing that some of the MARC fields that are in a given framework are not showing when looking at the record of an item. Is this expected? What controls which fields do show? -ramon
