Problem with Z39.50 servers, bug (and fix) in processz3950queue?
by Marilen Corciovei 11 Apr '06

11 Apr '06

Hello everybody, I am strugling with koha and Z39.50 servers for a while now. Apparently no server except UNIV OF NORTHERN WALES 147.143.2.5:210 INNOPAC worked for me. So I decided to write a simple program in perl to test the Z39.50 functionality. After solving problems revealed here: http://lists.indexdata.dk/pipermail/net-z3950/2003-October/000356.html and here: http://lists.indexdata.dk/pipermail/net-z3950/2002-July/000136.html I managed to write a working program: #!/usr/bin/perl use Net::Z3950; #$conn = new Net::Z3950::Connection("LIBRARY.MIT.EDU", 9909, databaseName => "mit01") #$conn = new Net::Z3950::Connection("Z3950cat.bl.uk", 9909, databaseName => "BLAC") #$conn = new Net::Z3950::Connection("z3950.nls.uk", 7290, databaseName => "Endeavor") #$conn = new Net::Z3950::Connection("bobcat.nyu.edu", 210, databaseName => "GEAC") $conn = new Net::Z3950::Connection("z3950.loc.gov", 7090, databaseName => "Voyager") or die $!; $conn->option('preferredRecordSyntax', Net::Z3950::RecordSyntax::USMARC); $rs = $conn->search("\@attr 1=7 \"3764353651\"") or die $conn->errmsg(); #$rs->option(preferredRecordSyntax => "SUTRS"); #$rs->option(preferredRecordSyntax => "XML"); #$rs->option(elementSetName => "B"); my $n = $rs->size(); $rs->present(1, $n); print "found $n records:\n"; foreach $i (1..$n) { $rec = $rs->record($i) or die $rs->errmsg(); print $rec->render(); } $conn->close(); Then I looked in the processz3950queue and found: eval { $conn->option(preferredRecordSyntax => Net::Z3950::RecordSyntax::USMARC);} if ($globalsyntax eq "MARC21"); eval { $conn->option(preferredRecordSyntax => Net::Z3950::RecordSyntax::UNIMARC);} if ($globalsyntax eq "UNIMARC"); however there is no MARC21 choice in z3950servers.tmpl: <select name="syntax"> <option value="USMARC">USMARC</option> <option value="UNIMARC">UNIMARC</option> </select> I realized then that changing MARC21 to USMARC fixes the problem. Now I can succesfully use the library of congress in my searches. eval { $conn->option(preferredRecordSyntax => Net::Z3950::RecordSyntax::USMARC);} if ($globalsyntax eq "USMARC"); Hopefully this will come handy for someone else to running into the same problem.

by Pedro Maia 11 Apr '06

11 Apr '06

Hello i'm new at Koha and if anyone could help me i appreciate. I've installed Koha 2.2 and one of the features that i am most interested is the possibility to function as a document manager or digital library. I just don't see how can i do that. I still didn't figure how can i insert for instance a "pdf" document into the database. Can anyone give a clue for i can start studying this feature because i'm a little "lost" at this moment. Thank you very much.

Hello everyone, I noticed that the PDF-API file on my Windows XP Pro machine is a .tar file and there is nothing else that says PDF-API. I was wondering if, by chance, I needed to extract it to a specific directory? Thanks Stephon McCray Media/IT Western Academy Charter School

Z39.50 Search
by Kyle Hall 07 Apr '06

07 Apr '06

Hey All, I was just wondering if anyone who uses the Z39.50 search had to do anything special to get it working. I'm added a number of servers to my list, but I never get any results. Does anyone have a known server and search criteria that could be recommened as a 'test'? Thanks, Kyle -- IT Tech Crawford County Federated Library System

Question on Migrating MARC records
by James Weinheimer 06 Apr '06

06 Apr '06

Hello, I am working with Koha for our library, and I love it so far, but I am sure I will have many questions in the future. I have successfully converted my UNIMARC records into MARC21 records to load into a test Koha database (except for the diacritics!), but my current catalog cannot export the holdings records along with the bibliographic records in MARC format as you have directed. (I've already asked the creators of the catalog and they say they can't do it. Another reason to go with open source!) Things would be much easier for me if I could control the primary key (biblio.biblionumber) for the migration into Koha. Then it can be assigned automatically. I've looked to see if this has been answered before, and I couldn't find it.

Hi all, I would like so much to join this conference. But I have several restrictions such as financial, works and etc. So, it is quite impossible for me to join this conference. Still, I'm eager to participate or at least can be an audience via video streaming. To KohaCon2006 committee, do you plan to broadcast it over internet? maybe via Windows Media Streaming? I have one Windows Media Server.. with enough bandwith to accommodate concurrent 200 viewer (streaming at 56-128Kbps). I will be glad offer this streaming services if committee interested. (So, I can also hear the Conference ;) ) Amzari Abu Bakar FingerClick Solutions __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Hello, This may have been a silly question. I think I have figured out that I still need to install Koha. I only extracted it so far. Hopefully it doesn't matter which directory I extracted it to, because it isn't the /usr/local. The documentation I am currently reading is from http:/www.skemotah.com Thanks, Derek -----Original Message----- From: koha-bounces(a)lists.katipo.co.nz [mailto:koha-bounces@lists.katipo.co.nz] On Behalf Of Morgan, John D.
