Zeki, Yes. I am working on a project for Manas University in Kyrgyz Republic. It is a Turkish University in Central Asia. It is an attempt to create a complete Web-services Based On-Line Virtual Library and Educational Environment (see attachment); with English, Turkish, Russian and Kirgyz language interfaces. Currently I am working on the interfaces for the Z3950 Portal and Database component and have decided to use Koha for the Library Opac Component. Since all of the Software used is Open-Source, you may be interested in getting involved in the project. I would be interested in working on the Turkish translation with you; you should also take a look at this url and see if you may be interested in using the Open Site Search application at your institution, I can help you set it up.: http://opensitesearch.sourceforge.net/docs/helpzone/main.html Also I have either not received the localization files from Paul, or they were lost in the 100's of spam email messages I receive every day.

Are adquisitons working?
by Andres Tarallo 12 Oct '04

12 Oct '04

We continue testing our pilot instalation, today we made a bounch of adquistions and we stomped with a weird behaviour (bug?). We made an aquisition, purchased 5 items of the same title. We received the order, stated that we received the 5 items. We're asked for the barcode only on time (this is right?), and the budget is adjusted accordingly. Then we go to the catalog and search for the book, we find it with 0 avaliable items, we see the details and find that we have only one item, we lost 4 !!!!!. Thanks Andres

Re: [Koha] MICRO CDS/ISIS import into Koha?
by Baiju M 09 Oct '04

09 Oct '04

I think CDS/ISIS version 1.3.x onwards has support for exporting data as XML, but I failed to export data as XML from 1.3.x of CSS/ISIS. If you cannot export data as XML from old CDS/ISIS versions, first import the data into newer version of CDS/ISIS (1.4 or later). I think most the libraries will be using some third party ISIS pascal based software for management of library activities (circulation, cataloging etc.), All these data can be exported as ISO 2709 (CCF?), now you can import this into ISIS 1.4 or 1.5.x and then export it as XML. I think a large number of ISIS users will be migrating to Koha by next few years. The document available in the wiki is not sufficiant for a quick migration, I will try to imrove it, I expect contribution from other users who migrated to Koha from ISIS. Stephen, what about icluding the ISIS migration document in the standard Koha document as an appendix?

MICRO CDS/ISIS import into Koha?
by Christopher L Brown-Syed 09 Oct '04

09 Oct '04

Pardon me if this is a FAQ. Has anyone successfully exported a catalogue from Micro CDS/ISIS (the Unesco software of the early 1990s), and imported it into Koha? ISIS exported records in ISO 2709 format, I believe. By now, most ISIS users would have migrated to WinISIS, which had a GUI, and maybe different file structures. But there are still some NGOs and not for profits sticking to their old DOS based ISIS.

Dear We're now working with CDS/ISIS and ProCite and want to convert about 20000 records into Koha. Can someone tell me who much it costs to implement Koha and if it is possible to get support and training?
