moving to Koha from an older system.
by Gavin McCullagh 25 Jul '06

25 Jul '06

Hi, I'd like if possible to solicit a little advice for a group in Dublin who I'm assisting with a move to Koha. They can export UKMarc and USMarc from their existing system, but not Marc21. As far as we can tell Marc21 is the system which Koha defaults to. The old systems all place stuff like the copy data under different tag numbers so this doesn't work entirely as is. It seems like we can remap Koha's Marc tag stuff to suit our needs. Alternatively, we can convert Marc->XML, make changes to the XML and convert back again. My experience, such as it is, is that with software like this one is best being in the long term sticking as close to the defaults as possible. For this reason, I'm leaning toward doing the conversion up to Marc21 once and for all. As I see it, their Marc data will then be in an up-to-date standard format. I had a look at XML::Simple last night which, although rather slow on a large Marc file, does seem to be a fairly straightforward way of arbitrarily remapping the XML file automatically. I am happy to post the script if I get it working. So, am I nuts to even try this? Should we just remap things in Koha? Is there a third, better way to do this? Gavin

Web based installation of Koha for a web site / nothing installed on the home computer
by Truth Collins 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

Dear S. and Josh, et. all, I just signed up for the list and read what I could find helpful. Thank you Josh for your reply earlier; and yes I did contact Liblime, but the price I was given, $2,500 per year for a library of under 20,000 items was well beyond my means; as well as paying someone to install, which Liblime didn't give me a price for be said it would be more than the yearly subscription; hence my further requests. In this case I need a solution that I can do myself. I basically need to set up a web based library automation catalog for as close to free as possible. S. said he was going to paste my message here, but I didn't see it so I am pasting it bellow. Josh: earlier you replied that Koha could be installed on most web based servers that are subscription based. Pardon me, but I would like you add one more degree of detail, if you will. See my pasted message bellow. Thanks, Truth C. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I forwarded this to the Koha mailing list. If you are not already signed up, you should go to www.koha.org and sign up for this list, it will be very helpful. S. On 7/11/06, Truth Collins <truths(a)sbcglobal.net> wrote: Dear Steven, I sent you a reply earlier but since then it occured to me that if I sent you a direct link to where I would like to host Koha along with the Server info then that would be a more direct way of communicating my question. Would I need to get him a virtual server subscription or could he install Koha on his web site without maintaining a server? So here goes: the hosting company is Start Logic - http://startlogic.com/ could I install Koha with the following web site hosting package? http://startlogic.com/products_prologic.html I notice that they have a virtual server subscription service also. The server information in his website control panel (vdeck) says that Mysql, Perl, and Apache are included. operating system mysql version mysql Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.16 perl versionperl, v5.8.3 then there is a long list of installed modules... Thanks, Truth C. Stephen Hedges < st.hedges(a)gmail.com> wrote: Koha is (technically) web-based -- it runs on a web server using Windows or Linux or BSD as the server operating system. But I think what you mean is what I think is called a web service: a company or organization actually hosts the site and the software, and you just add your own records to their server hardware. I don't know of any companies that offer that service, though Liblime might ( www.liblime.com) Stephen On 7/8/06, Truth Collins <truths(a)sbcglobal.net > wrote: Dear st.hedges, I request that you coordinate the addition of "web based installation" documentation. I have been attempting to install Koha on a web site for a friend who has a non-profit organization http://alexandriawest.org/ and was hoping to find documentation for a web based install. I have installed a couple other scripts using web based installation scripts - like Jinzora ( http://www.jinzora.com/ a media library engine / streamer etc..., script in Php that scans directories of a web site for media files and automatically adds them - and that has eased process but with Koha I see no documentation for installing on a web server. I see windows and linux and bsd documentation but I don't entirely know what that means. Thank you for considering my concerns, Truth C.

Fwd: Koha - what all languages it supports
by Stephen Hedges 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Murari <murari(a)nio.org> Date: Jul 13, 2006 12:52 AM Subject: Koha - what all languages it supports To: st.hedges(a)gmail.com Dear Mr Stephen Hedges, I went to the Koha website to find out what all languages the software supports (for the metadata pertaining to the documents). I did this job just to find out whether it supports Latvian and Russian languages (English interface is no problem) based on the query received from Latvia. I am also interested in knowing whether it can accept the Indian languages for data entry and search. Since this info was unavailable on the website, may I request you to please let me know whether this is possible. With warm regards, Murari P Tapaswi National Institute of Oceanography, Dona Paula 403 004 Goa, India Phone: 91-(0)832-2450275; Fax: 91-(0)832-2450602 www.nio.org, www.coastalhazards.info, www.mangroveindia.org
