pointers--libraries for dummies
by Karl Agee 28 Mar '05

28 Mar '05

Since I am not a librarian, I'd like to know of some links to esplain this libariran stuff to me. What is MARC, the Library of Congress stuff, biblios and more to a "dummy". how it all fits together. I need to be able to explain how koha works (need some better documentation here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and I need to explain it to our librarians who, by their own admission, arent geeks. or even very computer literate (but they know more than they think they do). I can explain how the web works, how the database works, how things are put together, but I dont know the librarians language. Help with articles links etc, something that I can use. --karl __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

bulkmarcimport flub
by Karl Agee 27 Mar '05

27 Mar '05

More fun in getting data imported into koha. Mike has helped me a lot, but, I have run into this little problem: First, as a test, I extracted 10 isbns from a file of about 1400. Then using Mike's yaz script, grabbed the info for those 10 and put the output into a file. Supposed to be marc format. Then used what I think is the bulkmarcimport utility in koha (its in the Parameters -> Import -> upload marc records in resivoir screen.... browsed to it, called it "test", choose Marc21, and it sed: Import results : 0 imported records 0 not imported because already in DB 0 not imported because already in farm 1 not imported because they seems not to be MARC format (or ISBN/ISSN missing) ! 1 records parsed maybe I did wrong thing??????????????? Have a wonrg configuration???????????????????????? one of the records looks like this: 001 3315113 005 19900628122247.1 008 841002r19841981nyu 000 0 eng 035 _9(DLC) 84023686 906 _a7 _bcbc _corignew _d1 _eocip _f19 _gy-gencatlg 010 _a 84023686 020 _a0020864906 (pbk.) 040 _aDLC _cDLC _dDLC 050 10 _aR726.8 _b.K79 1984 082 00 _a155.9/37 _219 100 2 _aK<E8>ubler-Ross, Elisabeth. 245 10 _aLiving with death and dying / _cElisabeth K<E8>ubler-Ross. 250 _a1st pbk. ed. 260 _aNew York : _bCollier Books, _c1984, c1981. 300 _ap. cm. 500 _aCataloging based on CIP information. 500 _aReprint.

Follett to Koha and PostgreSQL
by kent 27 Mar '05

27 Mar '05

Hello, This is my first post to this list server. I have some questions about Koha. Has anyone out there converted their Follet library database to Koha? I have a number of school libraries with Follet software that runs on Novell Netware and would like to convert them all to a single web-based Open Source platform. There was some mention of porting to PostgreSQL but I didn't see if anyone had successfully accomplished this. Any feedback on this would be appreciated.

I have just installed Koha on an Ubuntu Linux box. The whole installation was ok, but when I type http://localhost:80 the default installation page for Apache is loaded but not koha. Koha is installed in /usr/local/koha while my default document root for Apache is /var/www What do I do?

z3950 script
by mike re-v 24 Mar '05

the following script is tested and works well you'll need to install from cpan NET::3950, IO::File, and MARC::Record, also YAZ I've just tested this on Fedora Core 3 without Koha and it works beautifully http://indexdata.dk/pipermail/yazlist/2002-December/000416.html re-v __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, How can I get koha to pull the book data (MARK) from the Library of Congress Z3950 server? When putting in a new book I want to just put in the ISBN or LC control number and have it pull it up. The LoC Z3950 server info is in koha and the 7090 port is open for communication.
