Re: [Koha] Bar code scanners

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?

"it would really help a lot of not-so-IT librarians to just install Koha without them knowing the hard work." Correct.. In this manner and other things leading to the one click instal, shall any software package gain universal acceptance...

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

Since this question seems to come up quite often (and there seems to be a general misconception that the ILS has to somehow "work with" scanners), I wonder if there shouldn't be some general information about barcode scanners added to the Koha webpage? Though I would hate to add one more thing to the long FAQ page. Maybe it's also time to subdivide the FAQ page into categories?
