Thursday, August 17, 2006 20:47 CDT Greetings, With apologies for not having had the energy to look this up for you yestereve, there was some discussion of the issue of cover images that may be relevant almost 4 months ago to the day. See the exchange between Shahab, Amzari and Joshua duplicated immediately following your message below. Hopefully, some of this will help lead you in the right direction. Please let the listserv know how things work out for you and what solution you are able to effect. Regards, Steven F.

This can be done by modifying the code a little bit. You can view the sample here. (But on contrary, I disable the amazon features. You still can copy book cover from amazon and put in local directory manually). http://cdiq.dyndns.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=3 [N.B. link no longer functioned when checked 2006-08-17 - SFB] Amzari Abu Bakar Engneering Department, Matriculation Centre International Islamic University Malaysia [snip] > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Re: Re: [Koha] ISBN problem
by Weinheimer Jim 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

Hello, I am a librarian, so I know a little about ISBNs. ISBNs can be confusing because they were designed by the publishers for their purposes, while librarians simply decided to copy the ISBN number into their records. For cataloging purposes (at least in the rules that I have worked with), ISBNs do not determine editions. For example, ISBNs for paperback and hardback editions are always different (this is very important information for publishers!), but for catalogers, there is a rule that a difference in binding does not constitute a new edition. Therefore, this can be confusing. Also, it has turned out that some publishers have been reusing old ISBNs since they are running out of numbers(!). Also, there are new uses foreseen for ISBNs, and as a result, there are now 13 digit ISBNs. So, today one book will have all kinds of ISBN: hardback, paperback, 13 digit, 10 digit, sets vs. individual volumes, and so on. If that's not enough, ISSNs have similar problems! As a question: isn't it possible to write a perl script that, when searching ISBNs, will ignore everything except the numbers? This would be a good feature.

Thursday, August 17, 2006 02:31 CDT Salut Greg! >From just a quick look at what you said, it looks like someone's import of a Z39.50 search might have pulled up a record for another edition of the same work. The second ISBN noted, as I am sure your librarian pointed out, is not in the format that we cataloguing staff would naturally use (hyphens are not encoded in 020). An interesting occurence: do let the listserv know if you find the ultimate cause. Bon courage! Steven F. Baljkas library tech at large Koha neophyte Winnipeg, MB, Canada P.S.

Hi all, I manage the system which hosts Koha for the French cultural center in Brisbane, Alliance Francase. (http://library.afbrisbane.com) I don't manage the information in Koha; I installed Koha and manage the server, I am not a librarian! This installation has been up and running for about three months and they have a librarian on-site who is in the process of adding all their library material to Koha. He's come across a strange problem in the last couple of days: Search the public catalog for ISBN 2914935692 and it will return a record for "Comptines" with a subtitle of "méthode de franðcais". He did not enter that subtitle, so that's the first strange thing (inserted via z39.50??) and the second strange thing is that this record shows a different ISBN: 2-03-870211X! The librarian has a suspicion that running the rebuildnonmarc.pl script may help. I read the description of what that script does and it's all Greek to me. Would that script help, or is this problem being caused by something else? Thanks, Greg

I don't really know, but it looks like you need to delete the old database first and create it again. Don't do this if you have anything in your koha system already that you want to keep. Only do this to start with a fresh koha install. This will delete all current entries. To delete the old database, type: mysqladmin drop koha To create again, type: mysqladmin create koha Then continue with the instructions to set up the database.

Koha installation
by jennyzhang 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

Dear Mr. Joshua Ferraro, Chris Cormack and Koha users, I just reinstalled koha 2.2.5 on Fedora core. The version of my Mysql is 5.0.22-fc5. The problem is still there. Some tables can't be created during the installation. So I can't open OPAC. I installed Koha windows version on another PC and then copy the database to my Fedora machine. This time, I can open opac-main.pl. I don't know If I can just use this database. Do I need to uninstall my Mysql service and install an old version of MySql? The other question is when I try to "add item type", the item I added doesn't show on the form of item type Admin. Thanks for any help. Jenny
