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.

I've tested Koha , and I expected that it could calculate the overdue charges but it couldn't. does it ned some setting to calculate that or it needs some development ? thanks a lot Mohamed Amin _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

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?

Monday, June 23, 2003 18:10 CDT RE: Paul's retorte (emphasis added): >Note, also, that i've a problem with "one click install". Even if we >could install Koha in 1 click, that would be (almost) useless imho. >why ? >*** Because it requires some PARAMETERS setups (branches, budgets, >z3950 server, MARC parameters tuning...) that MUST be done in order to >see what Koha can do. >and this task CAN'T BE AVOIDED. *** BRAVO, PAUL! I've worked with 6 different ILS, and reviewed more than a dozen in 1997-1998 as part of a volunteer project for an NPO, and NOT A ONE featured a one-click-all-install for the very reasons that Paul gave. (And what are these mythic systems that some are referring to anyway? I can post some real horror stories for those needing edification about the joys of some turnkey systems that cost $5,000 USD and up and what they did to various librarians of personal acquaintance) So, again: Bravo, Paul! It would be nice if Koha eventually became simpler for those of us not gifted with (or with much time to acquire) technical expertise, but if one is a library worker one has to realise that there is always more to learn and if we want a system for free (so to speak) we should at least be trying to learn something. IMHO, if both tech- and library-side people try to bridge the gap instead of sniping (review some of what was said in the past week re: Koha), things might even get to where everyone can be happy sooner. Until then, we struggle on TOGETHER. All blessings to the gods and goddesses of the Koha code, Steven F. Baljkas Koha neophyte, Winnipeg MB
