Problem with issuing
by Pasi Korkalo 26 Jun '06

26 Jun '06

Hi all! I've been installing Koha to be used as a teaching system at my university and after some (well.. a lot as I don't have admin permissions to the server or MySQL ;)) tweaking it's working for the most part. However, I discovered that there is a problem with issuing books. On "Issues" screen the issued items are supposed to appear on the list on the lower part of the screen. This does not happen for me. The items do get issued, but they don't show up in the list. Ideas on how to fix this? -- "There are no answers, only cross-references" -- Weiner Pasi Korkalo <psulasal(a)paju.oulu.fi>

bulkmarcimport.pl and rebuildnonmarc.pl issues
by h lowe 24 Jun '06

24 Jun '06

This didn't seem to go through the first time, I will try again: >Heres how I would do it >sudo perl -I /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules rebuildnonmarc.pl -c Thanks! I tried it though and it wouldn't work :( So I added the use lib stuff to the scripts and saved them as new files just in case. Then I ran the new file and it worked! Only, sort of. The script ran, but nothing showed up in the opac or "items not issued report" so I took a closer look at the mysql database.. The new records have been loaded into the biblio table and the biblioitems table, but not the items table. ?? Has this happened to anyone else before? -Heidi

FYI - Roy Tennant's presentation to the Library of Congress on needed changes
by Anne Zarinnia 24 Jun '06

24 Jun '06

In the expectation that Koha and its community will continue to grow and thrive, I thought I'd share Roy Tennant's recorded presentation to the Library of Congress on what needs to happen to library catalogs. While he is addressing MARC and metadata, this is in plain English and is pretty straight forward. http://www.loc.gov/today/cyberlc/feature_wdesc.php?rec=3774 Anne Zarinnia

A Question about translating Koha
by Mohammed Gamal 24 Jun '06

24 Jun '06

Hello everyone, I was translating Koha to tyhe arabic language. I used the two .po files (css_opac and default_intranet). I am about done with them. However I have two questions: - How can I apply the translation to my existing Koha installation? - How can I contribute my translation back to the Koha community? Thanks, Mohammed ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "There are 10 kinds of people, those who understand binary, and those who don't." http://sl4shb0rked.blogspot.com Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

[Fwd: Koha in Spanish]
by Rachel Hamilton-Williams 23 Jun '06

Hi, can anyone help Bill out? Cheers Rachel -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Koha in Spanish Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2006 15:14:33 -0400 From: Bill Keasler <wkeasler1(a)carolina.rr.com> To: <rachel(a)katipo.co.nz> HI Rachel, Bill Keasler. I am looking for an ILS solution that has a Spanish patron interface or one that can switch back and forth between English and Spanish. The LearningAccess ILS approach would have been perfect but they are obviously now defunct even though their web site is still up. Do you have any ideas or know of a Spanish version of Koha that might work? I must install this at the Methodist Seminary and University in Costa Rica in mid-July.

Re: [Koha] Koha installation on 64bit box + Koha vs et al...?
by Steven F.Baljkas 23 Jun '06

23 Jun '06

Thursday, June 22, 2006 16:08 CDT Anson, I am unaware of a recognised comparative "table" that would give you the information you might want. Please note, various ILS companies generate promotional products that look very much like what you are asking for. Inevitably, their chosen (high-end) product will be shown to meet all one's needs, while competitors' products fall short. These lists are instructive, however. One of my past supervisors used several to compile her own criteria table for evaluation for an RFP in 2001. At that time, and after careful research, she had found compiling her own table (well, checklist really) was the only option. Now, you might try checking online via the ALA, Information Today Online, the Librarian's Index to the Internet or such to see if someone has created something approaching the table you need. There are/were periodicals (Information Today, Library Hi Tech, Library Software Review, Library Systems Newsletter) and special articles/issues in others (Library Journal, Library Technology Reports) that deal/t with library automation software and issues. There is also Pamela Cibbarelli's excellent _Directory of Library Automation Software, Systems, and Services_. It offers a standardised approach to reviewing ILS capabilities/capacities, but it is important to note first off that it is written from a library science perspective and those seeking computer science and network administrative level details from it may well be somewhat disappointed (hardware and system requirements given but not much beyond that). Offsetting that for many of us, there are the listings of published reviews and articles (when available) with each entry. The edition I have is years out-of-date now but I am given to understand that its project is carried on (a new edition out? forthcoming?). Hope that this little info has helped a bit. Steven F.

Hi - Finally (and with a substantial amount of help) got Koha running on CentOS 64 bit. It was ugly. Spent a while looking for rpm repos that woudl let me install the dependencies.... it came down to openssl for me. Installing openssl-0.9.7f-7.i686.rpm (necessary for the libcrypto.so.5 and libssl.so.5) doesn't work well because the package is considered unstable and so CentOS wouldn't use it, still not sure how my netadmin got around that. He did, so it's on. Anyhow, got yaz installed and that was huge. Does anyone have a table comparison for different ILS products? I'm looking to compare VTLS, Innopac, sirsi, endeavor, and koha.
