branch location problems
by Eleanor Kleiber 09 Aug '06

09 Aug '06

Hello again, Here is the next SPC koha problem: Recently bibliographic records being viewed in the "normal" view have been indicating that the item is located in a branch (Public Health), even though the main branch (Noumea) was selected (at times repeatedly) both for the home and holding branch. This doesn't happen to all the records we create or edit, but we can't figure out what it is we are doing (or not doing) to cause this. Interestingly, it only ever happens with Public Health, but no other branch. We certainly don't want Fisheries books to get lost in the Public Health section! Thoughts or suggestions? Thanks, Eleanor ____________________ Eleanor Kleiber Librarian / Bibliothécaire Secretariat of the Pacific Community Library / Bibliothèque, Secrétariat général de la Communauté du Pacific BP D5 98848 Nouméa Cedex New Caledonia tel: +687 26 01 37 fax: +687 26 38 18 email: EleanorK(a)spc.int <mailto:EleanorK@spc.int>

I am a new player of koha. I just install koha 2.2.5 on Fedora core 5. I installed everything step by step. I can access the library through intranet but can't open OPAC. When I try to access http://librarynsia.nsia.ac.nz/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl , it shows message below: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>500 Internal Server Error</title> </head><body> <h1>Internal Server Error</h1> <p>The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.</p> <p>Please contact the server administrator, jennyzhang(a)nsia.ac.nz and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.</p> <p>More information about this error may be available in the server error log.</p> <p>Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.</p> <hr> <address>Apache/2.2.0 (Fedora) Server at librarynsia.nsia.ac.nz Port 80</address> </body></html> I found that some tables were not created during the installation. For example: itemtypes and systemparameters. I don't know the reason. so I want to uninstall koha and reinstall it. Can somebody tell me how to ininstall koha? Thanks

Borrowers vs Branches vs Circulation...
by mordazy＠poczta.onet.pl 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

Hello, I`m still playing with Koha 2.2.4, and have a few questions about relations between borrowers and branches. My library has 6 branches with different membership policies, in addition one of the branches (Multimedia Library) charges its borrowers annual fee. The effect is that a borrower is assigned ONLY to the branches he registered himself in, and he can`t use the other branches` collections until he registers himself there. There`s only one id-card, one borrower number, one barcode, but there`s no common membership policy. In fact, if someone wants to borrow from all six branches, he has to register in each one separately. This is a remnant of the pre-computer era, but unfotunately it can`t be changed - not in a next few years (until old librarians retire :))). In the course of testing, I created our branches in Koha and entered a few borrowers, but can`t find a way to assign a borrower to a branch EXCLUSIVELY, I also couldn`t assign a borrower to more than one branch. No matter where the borrower is registered, he can borrow from any branch and the system doesn`t object. I`d like to set things this way: a borrower registered in Adult Branch can borrow books from Adult Branch, BUT can`t borrow from Multimedia and Children Branch unless he`s registered there, too. Is it possible in Koha? The next thing is database access policy. Is it possible to set staff permissions this way so staff member can circulate books from one branch but not from another? I`d like it this way: the staff members from Children Branch log in, and the system restricts them from circulating items in all other branches - they see only "their" books, "their" borrowers and "their" transactions. As far as I tested, it seems that a borrower from Children Branch can try to borrow a book from Adult Branch standing by the desk in Multimedia Branch and the system will not object. Please correct me if I`m wrong, maybe I missed something? If so, where can I read about assigning borrowers to branches and setting user/database permissions? It`s hard for me to believe that my library is the only one that wants to have its branches separated... Please help! Thanks in advance! Regards, Tomasz.

Borrowing rules
by Sandra Turner 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

Hi We are having trouble setting our borrowing rights to work with our item types. Our item types are as follows: Long Term Short Term Reference Items Audiovisual materials We have the following borrower types: Full-Time Student Past-Time Student Masters Student Staff This table shows the different loan periods. Full-Time Student Part-Time Student Masters Student Staff Item Type Long Term 14 days 14 days 31 days 31 days Short Term 2 days 7 days 7 days 31 days Reference Item 0 days 0 days 0 days 0 days Audiovisual materials 1 day 1 day 1 day 1 day The problem is we may have a number of books with the same bibliographic information but they have different loan periods. E.g. for all law books we always have at least 1 reference item and some short term and some long term. This information is now stored in the item field 995Z in our data. How do we get the lending rules to work?

Problem
by Lenora Oftedahl 03 Aug '06

Hi. We're merrily adding records and quite suddenly, nothing shows up in the MARC view of the catalog or Add Biblio functions. Nothing was changed by me (the only person who is authorized to change stuff like this). So, we're a bit panicked that our info seems to be gone. Although the information appears in the normal mode. How do we fix this? PLEASE help. Thanx. -- *************************************** Lenora A.
