I can only suggest a path of learing, using web and google: 1) Study how to set up a debian Linux on your hardware 2) Study how to configure (at basic) apache 2 and MySql 5 3) Learn perl 5.x 4)Learn at basic Z39.50 and library science. At the end you will have all info to configure Koba at best level. Bye Ps: you can start form INSTALL.debian in the tar file http://download.koha.org/koha-3.00.00-alpha.tar.gz And i suggest you to read the document but wait the beta to try to install. The beta si scheduled for start of february 2008. Bye Zeno Tajoli CILEA - Segrate (MI) tajoliAT_SPAM_no_prendiATcilea.it (Indirizzo mascherato anti-spam; sostituisci quanto tra AT con @)

Additional authors in OPAC?
by Magdalena Söderqvist 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

Hi there! SIPRI library in Stockholm, Sweden is aiming to become a Koha library shortly. Our IT-staff helped us to download and install the system (version 2.2.9 on Linux) and we in the library have been making the necessary changes and adjustments in templates and parameters to shape the catalogue to our satisfaction. Although we are learning as we go along, our knowledge of Perl and programming is fairly limited, which is why we would appreciate any help more experienced Koha users might be able to offer us. Our main problem at the moment concerns "additional authors": For some reason no matter how many additional authors we enter in repeated 700 fields (we use Marc21), only the last one is visible in the OPAC and we have had no success in trying to fix this. Suggestions? Sincerely, Magdalena Söderqvist librarian ***************************** Magdalena Söderqvist SIPRI Library Signalistgatan 9 SE-169 70 SOLNA Tel +46 8 655 97 78 Fax +46 8 655 97 33 E-mail: soderqvist(a)sipri.org *****************************

Recommended Computer Specs
by Alfred Nutile 24 Jan '08

Sorry if this is somewhere on the site. Maybe someone could just send me a link. Is there are way to spec out a server for an "average" size library. Maybe there is a book volume measuring system to say if you have this many books then you need these specs for a server? Thanks Al ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

Parameters question
by Linda Roholt 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

In setting up the parameters area, we've encountered the following issues: 1- In the Item Types section the screen only displays the first 20 or so - I would like to edit some entries as "not for loan" yet I'm not able to access them. What other options are there? The full list of item types show up in the issuing rules area however. 2- If you list an Item Type as yes in the not for loan area how do you set up that same item type in the issuing rules area - it seems illogical to have to give issuing/circulation rules for an item type you set as not for loan. It would make sense to keep the item types blank if they do not circulate, but If you leave the issue and fine are blank there is a hard coded default of 21,5, right? 3- The biblio framework section (marc structure) - Is there a download that would create this section? Our IT team created tables in this section but when we try to edit this area we are not able to add any tags or fields and it bumps back to the first screen in this section. The 2.2 users guide alludes to a download "When Koha was installed, the installer had the option of downloading either a MARC 21 or a UNIMARC "database" (or no MARC database at all). If this was done, you now have a database table containing most of the MARC tags and subfields ..." Where is this download located?

What Server Specs do YOU run Koha on?
by Joshua Ferraro 23 Jan '08

23 Jan '08

Hiya folks, Recently we've had a lot of people ask about recommended server specs for Koha. This is a tough question to answer because it comes loaded with assumptions about the size of the collection, transaction load, etc. So I was wondering if those of you who are running Koha in your libraries could just post a quick email to the list saying how large your collection is, number of transactions, what server specs you use (proc speed, RAM, disk space, etc.), and how the performance has been for you ... and then we can compile that as part of the FAQ.
