Borrowers, Patrons or Members
by Joshua M. Ferraro 17 Mar '07

17 Mar '07

I've been evaluating our use of language in Koha and I'd like to take an informal poll about your local convention. Do you call your users Borrowers, Patrons or Members? Please reply off-list, I'll tally up the results and report back. Also, I should note that ultimately, whatever convention the project uses shouldn't affect you from choosing a better suited local convention. The easiest way to make a global change is to use the built in translation framework system. Ask your sys admin to help you set that up if you want to make a change.

Issue with Install - YAZ
by Shawn E. Romine 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

Hello, We are a public library looking into the use of Koha with an eye towards possibly receiving a grant to do some further research. I am trying to install KOHA use the pel installer and having problems with the dependencies. Specifically, when I try to install Zoom perl module I receive the following error: *** ERROR! ZOOM-Perl requires at least version 2.1.50 of YAZ, but is currently you only have version 2.0.30. I have done the apt-get install libyaz-dev and did add the following into the apt configure file: # for Yaz Toolkit deb http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian indexdata/sarge released deb-src http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian indexdata/sarge released I actually think the issue is that I am trying to install on an Alpha server and I need alpha packages. I believe the ftp.indexdata.dk/debian only has the i386 packages. Could somebody verify if this is correct and possibly point me into the right direction? Thanks!

About the Koha name (and koha.org.ve)
by José Miguel Parrella Romero 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

Greetings, A few weeks ago a librarian and I bought and set up the koha.org.ve domain (which is now down for maintenance) where we would like to host several library-related open source developments. Plans include: * Koha, and a Koha test installation in spanish, with a particular template. Source code fully downloadable. * Local templates (with effects as in jQuery) and spanish translations (we've used the ones already distributed with Koha, but they need to be further adapted for the Venezuelan reality, for example we don't call users "Socios", which means "Member" (as in a "Club Member") but instead we call them "Usuarios" (users) -- fully downloadable as FOSS. * Maybe a Koha-based ILS which uses AJAX (we're working on it) or a Koha-inspired ILS which is Catalyst-based (that's a future plan) They will be fully downloadable as soon as we have nice code to share. * Other library-related developments, such as Keystone/Greenstone. They will be considered "evaluation technologies". * Hopefully, documentation, in forms of reports, formal documentation (maybe DocBook-based) and presentations. Everything downloadable as free software. * Contact information for both my partner and I as well as any other person in Venezuela which works with Koha and would like to be cited in the webpage as a "support option". * It will be cited as a Koha Interest Group for Venezuela. * It will host a mailing list for spanish-speaking Koha users. Bugs or suggestions will be shared with the english-speaking mailing lists, as well as the bug tracker. The site will be a little like koha-fr.org, but it will also host some non-Koha related stuff (though this may very well be off-webpage, for example in mailing lists or subdomains or a SVN server) -- I would also like to clarify that our plan is to stay _fully_ cooperative with current Koha developments and the current Koha namespace. I've already contacted with Tina Burger from LibLime in order to give some ideas and material for the webpage. Finally, I would like to know if using koha.org.ve seems sane for this. I'd be really worried if we either infringe a trademark (however, Koha is not registered as a trademark in Venezuela, and most likely it won't -- the Patents and Trademarks Office has a very strong policy about FOSS-related trademarks, even when it breaks international treaties... yes, we're an outlaw country :D) but I'd be most worried if this raises any undesirable reaction in our community. Please let me know your opinions if you're interested in doing so. Thank you very much and have a nice day, Jose

Hi Qiqo, I'm glad for the help. I've installed debian linux on our computer. But my problem lies along the installation of the Koha. I am not yet familiar with the text-based interface of the Linux OS as opposed to GUI-based system such as Windows. I've since dual-booted the computer to Linux as the bootloader and Windows XP. I've installed Koha on the Windows platform since I've found it easier to accomplish.8-) Frank --- Qiqo Simbol <besprenqiqo(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi frank I'm Qiqo from the University of the > Philippines institute of > library and information science.

integrate Z3950 search in OPAC
by cat tom 15 Mar '07

15 Mar '07

We are interested in integrating the Z3950 search found within Catalogue module into OPAC, so that a patron can not only search against KOHA itself but also search against other Ztargets. On the search result pages, hits found from Koha plus hits from other sources can be displayed together with source Ids/names. Could somebody share some ideas? Are there any existing examples and/or showcases? Thanks Sun --------------------------------- Make free worldwide PC-to-PC calls. Try the new Yahoo! Canada Messenger with Voice
