z3950 search
by Paul Evans 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hi I'm a new non expert user looking at Koha for personal use. Key value to me would be the ability to create a catalogue through lookup of records elsewhere. So far after a little experimentation I have converted one of my boxes to Debian and installed v2.RC1. Pages show up fine on my network but I can make nothing of getting the z3950 search to work. I have started the search daemon and tried using an ISBN number on the add new biblio page. The popup window shows but with the ??? rather than a number. Logs show search.pl / / / / etc Happy to post more log material if that helps I have followed through all the messages on the mailing list that seem to relate to this problem and all the fixes seem to have been applied in RC1 Any update on whether this is working for others? any pointers on things I might check. Thanks in advance. Paul Evans

Web Hosting a Koha Site
by Kenneth C. Demanawa 15 Dec '03

15 Dec '03

Hi. Has anyone successfully installed koha in a web hosting company? Or is it possible to install koha without total control of a server (e.g. no root privileges), even if the needed PERL modules and mysql database is already pre-configured? If yes, can anyone point me to this Koha friendly web hosting company? TIA. Kenneth C.

Koha is famous (again)

It looks like we've got a bit more good press. Koha has been used as an example in a recent study of Open Source Development commissioned by the World Bank Group. You can grab a copy for yourself at http://www.dravis.net (it's the most recent report on the front page), we're on page 35. Great job everyone, -pate Pat Eyler Kaitiaki/manager migrant Linux sys admin the Koha project ruby, shell, and perl geek http://www.koha.org http://pate.eylerfamily.org

I would love to learn more about your software. I"m the Library Director at a small college in the US and am looking for software that is both networkable, for our site, and useable in around 30 extension centers. It would be great if it could be somehow linked to the main campus library through the 'Net, as well.

The first thing you probably want to do is sign up on the koha mailing list (look at www.koha.org/mailing for directions). You'll find the people on the list to be helpful and friendly. The next step is to ensure that you're running a current version of Koha. 1.2.3 (the last stable version) is fine for normal use, but probably won't fill your needs as it's not MARC compatible. 2.0.0RC1 (the first release candidate for the 2.0.0 release) is probably what you want. It's pretty well tested (in use at a number of libraries), and is fully MARC compatible. > I've found Library of Congress's MARC records, but > how do I import them into Koha? The Z39.50 tool is what you're looking for. It will allow you to query Z39.50 servers (like the LoC) for MARC records that ou can then import into the system. If you have an existing collection cataloged, you might be able to use the bulkimport tool to load it into Koha as well. > Please answer soon as I only have a few > weeks to learn everything I can before I get caught up in classes again.

What kind of software is your hosting company running? I can help with Plesk questions. If I can get a free minute later, I may attempt to do a koha installation on my plesk site just to see how it goes... -Al Banks ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kenneth C.

Please help!!!
by Denise Sharp 10 Dec '03

I wrote once before but got no responses and I'm desparate! I need to know how to enter MARC records from a free source into Koha. I am not a techy, nor am I a librarian (yet), but I'm doing a presentation at a library tech conference in February about OSS for libraries with an emphasis on Koha. I don't want to make a fool of myself. Would someone be willing to mentor me for a couple months? --Denise Sharp -- "We cannot direct the wind but we can adjust the sails."

There are hosts out there that are very reasonable ... like 9 dollars a month with one gig of storage. and 50 gig of bandwidth that even rolls over if you don't use it all one month....( indeed a great deal) If it does not function this way currently it would be something to implement in the NEAR future or earlier.

Hello William. Thank you for the reply. Getting my own server and have it co-located somewhere is too espensive. Ive seen local web hosting companies that are perl, mysql friendly with cPanel interface to configure your site/domain. Koha I believe, can be also be installed manually.
