New BibLibre's sandbox server
by Jonathan Druart 15 Feb '22

15 Feb '22

Hi all, I think I haven't announced it here yet. BibLibre offered the community a new server for the sandboxes. It's a replacement to the old BibLibre one. Note that PTFS-E and Bywater's are still around :) The only difference is that this one is using elastic search as the search engine by default. https://sandboxes.biblibre.eu/ More info about sandboxes can be found on the wiki: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Sandboxes Issues or enhancement requests can be done at https://gitlab.com/koha-community/koha-sandboxes-docker Regards, Jonathan

koha-z3950-responder and item status
by Mark Alexander 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

I've been fighting with the Z3950 responder for several years now. In particular, I want get it to respond with a 952$k field that gives an item status as "Available" or "Checked out". In the past (prior to 19.11) I've had to install my own version of ByWater's Z3950 responder, and invoked it with something like this: /usr/share/koha/bin/z3950_responder.pl --add-item-status=k tcp:@:9999 Now it seems that in recent Koha, you're supposed to start the Z3950 responder with /usr/sbin/koha-z3950-responder. But this script doesn't seem to offer any equivalent to --add-item-status=k. So when I use yaz-client to query an item, I see that 952$k is indeed missing: 952 $0 0 $1 0 $2 ddc $4 0 $6 F_HEG $7 0 $8 FICTIONA $9 910 $a VSNY $b VSNY $c FIC $d 2009-03-21 $l 0 $o F HEG $p 3VSNY00001973A $r 2020-04-09 $t 1 $w 2009-03-21 $y BK $x FSC@aR@c19990908 I've looked in the files in /etc/koha/sites/INSTANCE/z3950/config.xml, and don't see anything relevant. How do I get 952$k to appear? -- I wish I had done some of the hard things when they were easier to do. --Ashleigh Brilliant

Restarting Indexing -- Maybe Reindexing Altogether
by Charles Kelley 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

Hi, all! My library's system has stopped indexing new records. Case in point: I added Starlog to our catalog, and five ours later, it still does not appear when searched. We've also added a few more authority headings, but several hours later, they too cannot be found. So is it possible to restart the indexing? Failing that, is is possible to reindex the entire catalog? I'd like to learn this now before we upgrade to 20.05 or 20.11 this spring or summer. Many thanks. P. S. Running Koha 19.05 on Debian 9 "Buster". (When we upgrade to 20.XX, we'll also upgrade to Debian 10 or 11.) -- よろしくお願いします。 -- Charles.

Serials and Variable Frequencies
by Charles Kelley 11 Feb '22

11 Feb '22

Hi, all! My library is beginning to implement the serials module, but we have a question. How does Koha handle serials with variable frequencies? Case in point: Starlog. According to WorldCat and the Library of Congress, Starlog had three frequencies during its run. To copy the 310 and 321 fields, 310 ␣␣ ‡a Monthly, ‡b <Jan. 1982-> 321 ␣␣ ‡a Quarterly, ‡b Aug. 1976- 321 ␣␣ ‡a 8 times a year, ‡b <Dec. 1978-> How are the three frequencies entered into Koha? Thanks for your help, everyone! P. S. Sorry for the extra spacing and the "␣". I now use "␣" for the space in indicators in order to be absolutely clear an indicator is blank. -- よろしくお願いします。 -- Charles.

by Barbara Johnson 10 Feb '22

10 Feb '22

Hello Koha community, On February 16, koha-US members will receive an email with a link to vote on the koha-US 2022 Conference. Voting is open to all koha-US members in good standing (i.e. who have paid their membership dues for 2022) Voting starts: February 16 Voting ends: February 28 Who can vote: koha-US members who have paid their 2022 membership dues Not a koha-US member? No worries – you can easily join here - https://koha-us.org/join/ How much are koha-US dues: It’s only $25 (and tax-deductible) Here are the two proposals for the 2022 koha-US conference: Option #1 - Lawrence, KS (+ online) (map)<https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Lawrence+Public+Library,+707+Vermont+St,+La…> Dates: September 20-23 (Tuesday-Friday) Host: Northeast Kansas Library System (conference will be held at Lawrence Public Library) Notes: This conference would be a hybrid conference like the 2021 conference in McKinney, TX. Live presentations in Lawrence would be streamed via YouTube Live. Air travel: Nearby Airports: Lawrence is about 1 hour from Kansas City International Airport in Kansas City, Missouri Major Airlines: Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Airline, Frontier Airlines, Spirit Airlines, United Airlines Transportation options from airport to lodging: Rental car; taxi; Uber; Lyft; Super Shuttle Express; and NEKLS volunteers may be available to transport people from the Kansas City Airport to Lawrence. No hotels currently operate shuttles between Kansas City International and Lawrence. Available lodging: -- NEKLS will work with the Lawrence Visitors Bureau to arrange blocks of rooms at either the Eldridge, TownePlace, or SpringHill -- KU Football is playing Duke on September 24, so we will endeavor to work out blocks of rooms as quickly as possible if selected for the conference so that the conference rooms will be less likely to interfere with college football hotel reservations. * Eldridge Hotel (historic hotel 1 block from the library) $$$ * TownePlace Suites by Marriott Lawrence (3-4 blocks from the library) $$ * SpringHill Suites by Marriott Lawrence (3-4 blocks from the library) $$ * DoubleTree by Hilton (1 mile from the library) $ * The Oread Hotel (1 mile from the library) $$$ * Comfort Inn & Suites (1 mile from the library) $ * Days Inn by Wyndham KU Lawrence (1 mile from the library) $ * Country Inn & Suites by Radisson (2 miles from the library) $$ Local restaurants: Lawrence Public Library is 1 block west of Massachusetts Avenue in Lawrence. There are many restaurants near the library. Check out this link for more info - https://www.explorelawrence.com/restaurants/?view=grid&sort=qualityScore&bo… Attractions/local libraries: * Lawrence Public Library * KU Libraries including the Spencer Research Library (Open M-F 9-5) * Quayle Bible Collection at Baker University * We are near Emporia University which has a robust MLS program COVID considerations: In Kansas the power to institute a mask mandate is delegated to local county and city health departments. The Lawrence/Douglas Joint County Health Department currently has a mask mandate in place, but we don't know what will happen in September. It is likely that if there is another COVID surge, there will be an indoor mask mandate for public areas in September. Weather/Environment: Tornado season should be over by September. September in Kansas is usually warm and mild without being super-hot and humid like it can be in August. It is unusual to have smoke from forest fires in Kansas, particularly in September. Destinations Lawrence, Kansas Lawrence, Kansas, is the home of the University of Kansas. The Lawrence Visitor Center can be found at https://www.explorelawrence.com/plan-your-visit/visitors-center/ Destinations in the Lawrence area include: * Spencer Museum of Art : https://www.spencerart.ku.edu/ * Allen Fieldhouse : https://kuathletics.com/facilities/allen-fieldhouse/ * Booth Family Hall of Athletics : https://kuathletics.com/facilities/the-booth-family-hall-of-athletics/ * KU Natural History Museum : https://biodiversity.ku.edu/ * Baker Wetlands : https://www.bakeru.edu/history-traditions/the-wetlands/ * Grover Barn : https://guardiansofgroverbarn.com/ * Black Jack Battlefield : https://www.blackjackbattlefield.org/ * Watkins Museum of History : https://www.watkinsmuseum.org/ * Lied Center of Kansas : https://lied.ku.edu/ Kansas City, Missouri Lawrence is about a 45 minute drive from Kansas City, Missouri. The Kansas City Visitors bureau can be found at https://www.visitkc.com/ Destinations in the Kansas City area include: * National World War I Museum : https://www.theworldwar.org/ * American Jazz Museum : https://americanjazzmuseum.org/ * Negro Leagues Baseball Museum : https://www.nlbm.com/ * Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art : https://www.nelson-atkins.org/ * Kansas City Zoo : https://www.kansascityzoo.org/ The Kansas City Royals are scheduled to play the Minnesota Twins and the Seattle Mariners at home during this week if anyone is interested in going to a baseball game. Destinations that are further away include: * Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library, Museum, and Boyhood Home : https://www.eisenhowerlibrary.gov/ * Harry S. Truman Presidential Library & Museum : https://www.trumanlibrary.gov/ * Oz Museum: https://ozmuseum.com/ Why is your location the best choice for this conference? We are centrally located in the USA. We are in Kansas where there are over 150 Koha libraries. Lawrence is the home of the University of Kansas and we could help arrange trips to the Allen Fieldhouse at KU if anyone is interested in the history of college basketball. Lawrence is also home of some of the first skirmishes in what eventually became the Civil War. We could help arrange trips to the Grover Barn (a stop on the Underground Railroad), or the Black Jack battlefield near Baldwin City, Kansas, where John Brown and some Kansas Free-State Abolitionists fought in a Bleeding Kansas battle with pro-slavery forces from Missouri. We could also help arrange outings to the American Jazz Museum or the Negro League Baseball Museum in Kansas City. The Kansas City Royals are scheduled to play home games against the Minnesota Twins and the Seattle Mariners during this same week in September of 2022 and we could probably help arrange trips to Kauffman Stadium if anyone is interested. There's a lot going on in and around Lawrence. Option #2 - 100% Online Conference Dates: September 13-16 (Tuesday-Friday) Host: koha-US Notes: Presented fully online via YouTube Live (similar to the 2020 Conference) Regards, Barbara Glassford Johnson koha-US President - 2022 CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This City of Bedford (CoB) email transmission is intended only for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is confidential, privileged, and exempt from disclosure.
