In all, there are about 28,000 titles. We are using Innovative Interfaces (III) as our main acquisitions module, but did not buy the OPAC because it was > $100K to purchase. One of the things we would like to do for the faculty is to have an OPAC they can view of the materials we are replacing. And it looks like Koha would do the trick. We are using HostRocket as our webhosting server (www.hostrocket.com) They use Linux servers with Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Perl. I have @1 GB of space. My questions are as follows: 1. Has anyone installed Koha on a webhosted server? 2. Can the MARC records from the current system (III) be exported to Koha? (I saw something about one-at-a-time uploads, but is there a way to batch these, or do multiple uploads?) 3. If MARC records can be exported to Koha, can the upload program be modified to "overlay" duplicate MARC records? (This is a unique project where we are ordering "replacements" and thus the MARC records are in the system, we would just need to import certain fields to update the current MARC record.) 4. Can Koha be modified? The key example is that the Faculty want to be able to comment on certain books (e.g., "This book is extremely important to our collection," or "This book is worthless, do not order it!")

Re: [Koha] Bar code scanners

Monday, June 30, 2003 19:50 CDT Further to what Cliver correctly noted ... If one uses MARC21, in tag 852, one of the non-prescribed subfields is sometimes used to contain the significant digits of a bar code (in most collections between 4 and 6 at the end of a bar code, excluding the last, which is a check digit). In Athena, which I used in a school library, I believe it was $w. In other systems, I have seen it in 090 and 949 fields (system specified). So we'll all know, can someone from the development end tell us how/where Koha is storing this info? Steven F.

Hi again......most/all libraries here use "codabar" or "code39" symbologies for both patrons &/or collection....after all, the bar-code is only a numerical record number for each book/patron.....so within any circulation system there would be a 'data field' for that 'number'/record. At least ...that's my understanding.....all the best Clive Robertson EAS services....Melbourne, Australia Elizabeth Spruill wrote: > Is there a certain symbology that Koha works with?
