OverDue Charges
by Mohamed Amin 10 Jul '03

10 Jul '03

Hi everyone the fines2.pl now is working properly with me , but the way it calculates the fines is strange for me . it just calculate the fines at two dates the first one is caled first reminder the second one is called second notice , if the borrower returned the book between these dates the fines will be the fine for the first reminder only . I'd like to be sure that this is the way Koha workes with, so is that the way ? what we want to do is to make the fine equals the diffrence multiplied by the fine amount . thanks for your help Mohamed Amin Network Administrator National Training Institute Egypt _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

2.0 release meeting *CHANGE*
by Pat Eyler 09 Jul '03

09 Jul '03

Hello everyone, With a 2.0.0 release rapidly approaching, and a bunch of bugs needing to be found, reported, prioritized, and fixed, we're going to institute a weekly irc meeting to help handle the load. We'll meet every Wednesday at 1800 UTC in the #koha channel at irc.katipo.co.nz -- Anyone is welcome to attend, please bring your bug reports. We're making this change to help make the meeting more accessible to Paul (the 2.0 release manager), and our other European developers. I know this is very hard on the Katipans, if it proves to be too much of a hassle, we might try to alternate weeks or something. (Here are a couple of conversions follow) UTC France Seattle New Zealand Wed 18:00 Wed 20:00 Wed 11:00 Thu 06:00 (Please feel free to translate and/or forward this message to other mailing lists as appropriate.) -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

import question
by Derek Dresser 09 Jul '03

09 Jul '03

hello, I am working on setting up 2.0.0pre1. It installs fine and I am using the bulkmarcimport.pl script to import ~8,000 biblios in USMARC format from our old Winnebago system. So far so good. They seem to import fine. I can query the database and see the data. Now I seem to have 8,000 biblios, but no items. It seems that a biblio is a description of a possible book, but I actually need some items in my catalog to be able to check them in and out. Is this correct. Can someone give a brief explanation of the difference between a biblio, biblioitem, and item in the database and give me an idea of how I can actually convert those 8,000 biblios to books? Sorry, I'm a computer guy, not a library scientist.... but I'm learning ;-) Thanks in advance, Derek -- Derek Dresser http://network.gouldacademy.org/ Gould Academy Bethel, ME 04217 (207)824-7700 "Nothing endures but change" --Heraclitus ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/

RE: [Koha] import question
by Bigwood, David 09 Jul '03

Derek, Your Winnebago data has item information. For example on the last record, _9p14.95 ^_h001.535 R51b^_p10006^^WL^_t6^^^] is item information. Subfield h contains the specific call number for the item, I think subfield p is the barcode number. This field can be repeated in a MARC record, so it is possible to have several items attached to one bibliographic record. As for the structure it basically follows the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR). We are dealing with an expression of a work, the manifestation of that expression and then an individual copy of that expression. There is lots more about FRBR at the IFLA Web site. I'm not sure, but was the database constructed to conform to FRBR? If not, it might be a good exercise for a library student to map the database to the FRBR. In the commercial field only VTLS has a FRBR system available. Sincerely, David Bigwood bigwood(a)lpi.usra.edu Lunar & Planetary Institute Cataloging news: http://www.catalogablog.blogspot.com -----Original Message----- From: Derek Dresser [mailto:Derek.Dresser@gouldacademy.org] Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 10:40 PM To: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: Re: [Koha] import question Chris, This helps a lot. Let me just make sure I have it. A biblio is the general information about a publication, a biblioitem is a type of incarnation of a publication (book on tape, paperback, hardcover, first edition, etc.) and an item is an actual thing that can be checked out that fits one of those types. So you can obviously have multiple types, and then one or more instances of each type. That makes sense. Thanks. Now, during the import process of a bunch of USMARC records using bulkmarcimport.pl, should I expect my database to be populated with any items? After doing it, it seems that I get biblios and biblioitems, but no actual items. Just for fun I created a test "item" that matched one of my biblios and biblioitems, and then searched for it. It worked great an I got all the relevant info (bar code, etc). However, it is the only item in my whole database. ;-( I guess the real question is, "Is there enough information in a USMARC record to generate the item as well as the biblio and biblioitems, and should I expect bulkmarcimport.pl to do that?" I'd like to extract as much information as possible out of the Winnebago data. Basically, as far as I know, each USMARC record in the file represents an actual item in our library. Here is a small piece of the data file (about 4 or 5 records) if that helps clarify anything. Thanks again to everyone for your help and great work. FYI, We are hosting a 3 day Linux/Open Source seminar here at the school at the end of July and I'm giving one session on installing and configuring Koha. It is aimed at schools and libraries here in Maine. Should be fun. There's a little more info here if you're interested http://network.gouldacademy.org/ Thanks again. -Derek 00623pam 2200181 a 4500001001300000008004100013020001500054050002100069082001400090100003500104 24500860013926000660022530000260029150400650031765000300038285\ 2002300412961000600435^^ 85023778 ^^851129s1986 nyu b 00010 eng ^^ ^_a0025003402^^0 ^_aAZ221^_b.A35 1986^^0 ^_a001.2^_219^^10^_aAdler, Mortimer\ Jerome,^_d1902-^^12^_aA guidebook to learning :^_bfor a lifelong pursuit of wisdom /^_cMortimer J.

Re: [Koha] import question

Derek, You might also want to take a peek at the wiki we've been using as we import our data into Koha, at http://www.seedwiki.com/page.cfm?doc=SpydusKoha&wikiid=2122 You might find some good examples for your session.

Classification field and more
by Jade Furness 09 Jul '03

09 Jul '03

Hello I have been employed to set up a library at the South Pacific College of Natural Therapeutics. Someone suggested we use Koha as a library and an IT person has installed this. I am a librarian used to using different systems but not Koha. I have searched the archives re Classification field but couldn't find a definitive solution. I want to use National Library of Medicine (NLM) class. which is part of Library of Congress and is alphanumeric. When I put this in the Dewey field it doesn't come up on the catalogue screen. When I put it in again under Group modification it doesn't save any of the data I input at that stage. Does this mean I can't use a class. system other than Dewey? Which brings me to the next few points - I have been reading about bugs but I'm not an IT person so it goes over my head. I am using Acquisitions Simple. When I try to add a biblio without an ISBN, the next page I go to doesn't have as many fields as the testsystem on Koha. i.e. It doesn't have a classification field (It does have Dewey field); it doesn't have an ISBN field so the entry ends up on the third page without one. If I enter a record via the ISBN on the first page, it then takes me to the third page which is basically the ISBN page and misses out the second page completely. Once in the catalogue there is no Item type (though I have previously entered it and I have added it originally through the system parameters). no NLM either. I can modify the record on that page but when I go the the Group modify page and add NLM, item type and ISBN, it doesn't save any of the information. When I click on Group delete, it sends me to a page unable to be found. Are these bugs? Can this be fixed? or am I missing something completely. The System Parameters do not contain as many parameters as the test database on Koha. Missing - MARC tag structure, Links Koha - MArc Db, MARC check, Thesaurus, Authorised Values, Membership Category. And the system preferences do not contain all the preferences that the test database has, although I have added Autobarcode myself. When I enter a new member the Area field has a dropdown box with a choice of areas from Horowhenua. Since this library is in Auckland is it possible to change and where would this be done. RE barcodes - I gather from the archives I have to use 9 digits with the last one as a check digit and that could be x on the actual barcode. I'm sorry to ask all these questions but I am at the library only one day a week and I spent a very frustrating Friday getting this far. I an pass on any IT type responses to the IT person who set it up for us. Many thanks Jade
