Catalogue Record
by Catherine Fagan 29 Jun '07

29 Jun '07

Hi Everyone! Ive just installed the newest version of Koha and ive created a MARC Tag that is particularly important to my library, but I don't know how to get it to display in the user interface's record. At the moment the user has to look at the MARC coding to find the information which isnt ideal! Does anyone know how you determine what fields you show as part of a record?

Small Rural School Seeks Advice
by Mark Stuckless 29 Jun '07

29 Jun '07

Hi All, I am a teacher at a small rural school located in Mildmay, Ontario, Canada. Our library is back in the stone-age in terms of automation....i.e. there is none...even the old card catalogue is way out of date with many books not added since the late 80's. I have a Pentium III Netvista computer that I am interested in using for library automation. I was looking at installing Ubuntu server on the machine....along with LAMP...and Koha. I would need to get a barcode reader. What else do I need? What other suggestions do you have in helping our school modernize our library? Any advice you can give is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Take care, Mark Stuckless -- Mildmay-Carrick Public School school: 519-367-5548 home: 519-363-6304 website: http://www3.sympatico.ca/markst

Alexandria vs. Koha
by Matthew Metzger 28 Jun '07

28 Jun '07

Hello, Our school is looking to pay a consultant to compare two library software systems, Koha and Alexandria (http://www.goalexandria.com/) I was wondering if anyone on this list has experience with both systems. I know about both systems and have had some experience with both (mostly Koha), but our school administration would like to have a third party outside opinion in addition to mine. I saw some posts earlier that talked about migrating from Alexandria to Koha. If anyone has done that and can confidently give a summary of Alexandria and Koha, you could earn some extra cash. Our school computer lab is all eMacs with OS X 10.4. We had purchased Alexandria in 2005 and also have Koha 2.2.9 installed on a Ubuntu linux (PowerPC) apple hardware computer. thanks for your time and I look forward to your responses, Matthew Metzger

Character set testing
by Mike Dalgity 28 Jun '07

28 Jun '07

I've just converted my Koha install to use UTF-8. With so many pieces of the puzzle needing to be properly configured (MySQL, Apache, Koha, web browser, etc) I'd like a way to test that things are working properly. I could use some suggestions for some basic tests. I currently don't have any records requiring UTF-8. Can someone send me a test marc21 file I could try importing with bulkmarcimport (which I haven't used yet) and make sure it displays properly. Pretty much all my records come from Z3950 searches so I should probably check that too. Can someone point me to a Z3950 Server and record that also has a web interface so I can compare the records imported? Thanks, Mike D.

Koha Project Day Summary
by Joshua M. Ferraro 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

Hi gang, We had another Koha Project Day yesterday. Here's a summary of what we did: Chris worked on a few more unit tests, finishing off the tests for C4::Date. Quite a bit of wiki cleaning and thinking/talking about how to use git in the project. Of course, chris also blogged about his koha project day: http://blog.bigballofwax.co.nz/articles/2007/06/25/koha-project-day-2 Russ worked on the styles of the supplemental sites koahdocs.org, translate.koha.org, contribs.koha.org; took a look at Plone as a possible replacement for our current koha.org site; started doing some bug reports for version 3, and got selenium going: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=109 Mason did more bugzilla updates, and started on the process of updating default templates in rel_2_2 so they will be suitable for a 2.2.10 release Josh worked with Chris on git, and added some documentation (partial still) on how to use it for the Koha project. Ryan helped some folks who wandered in with questions they had. Feel free to join us next week, the festivities will start at 12:00pm EST and continue for about 12 hours. To join us, you'll need to download an IRC client (for Windows, mIRC is pretty good: www.mirc.com/) and point it at irc.katipo.co.nz and the channel #koha. We're also thinking of moving the day of the week we do this on to give more folks the opportunity to get involved ... is there a day of the week that would work best for you and your team?

REports How do they work
by colmcd＠optusnet.com.au 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

Dear Koha Lists I am having a slight problem with reports in KOHA. Namely most of the report do not work. In particular NONE of the Wizards work. I have tried adding records doing anything. Any wizard I click on it can not display any data What so EVER!!! This is for Borrowers, Aquisition, Circulation and that last category. Some reports do work like Most Issueing Borrowers, however many do not!!! CAn anyone enlighten me. We are primarily using Koha 2.25 but I have upgraded my testbed to 2.28 and nothing seems to change PLEAZE reply to jimfor(a)optusnet.com.au and this address with the Subject KOHA I only get dial up access once a month so it may be hard to find your email. Also I am sending soon a revision of the Barcode generator. I have done one that can be used with much less librarys and prints accurately (ie 1mm is 1mm not 1px). I also plan on doing a library card module. Cheers Colin McDermott Mercy school Yarapos PNG. 6156939092

Thanks to all who has responded. Now I'll redo my installation and set it up with zones, just to make the most out of Solaris... ;-) I'll publish my findings for Solaris installation of Koha later. /Thommy M.
