RE: [Koha] UDC vs LCSH schemes

Dear Colleagues, I have examined the records in more detail. It seems they all have ISBN, but not all have LOC numbers. I would think it is possible to use the ISBN to generate the LOC Number. Any comments. Thanks in advance.

Re: [Koha] Koha 1.2.3 installation problem

Waylon; Thanks, I installed HTML::Template using the CPAN shell method and apparently that helped tremendously. But things are still not quite right. I now get this in the server error log: [Tue May 6 23:51:20 2003] [error] [client 200.162.208.133] File does not exist: /opt/koha/opac/htdocs/favicon.ico HTML::Template->new() : Cannot open included file /htdocs/default/en/opac-main.tmpl : file not found. at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/HTML/Template.pm line 1580 HTML::Template::_init_template('HTML::Template=HASH(0x823d5b4)') called at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/HTML/Template.pm line 1177 HTML::Template::_init('HTML::Template=HASH(0x823d5b4)') called at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/HTML/Template.pm line 1071 HTML::Template::new('HTML::Template', 'filename', '/htdocs/default/en/opac-main.tmpl', 'die_on_bad_params', 0, 'global_vars', 1, 'debug', ...) called at /opt/koha/includes/C4/Output.pm line 122 C4::Output::gettemplate('opac-main.tmpl', 'opac') called at /opt/koha/includes/C4/Auth.pm line 45 C4::Auth::get_template_and_user('HASH(0x8381f50)') called at /opt/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac-main.pl line 11 [Tue May 6 23:51:35 2003] [error] [client 200.162.208.133] Premature end of script headers: /opt/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac-main.pl In my case the file is in: /opt/opac/htdocs/default/en/opac-main.tmpl Searching in the source I found there another line that has to be put in koha.conf ('opachtdocs'). I put in '/opt/koha/opac/htdocs/' there and it now works. But this raises the question if there any other things like this to look out for, without trial and error? Miguel ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For this, my friend, You have to install HTML::Template do perl -MCPAN -e shell, to my recollection. At least in perl anyway. Then, type install HTML::Template -- Konsultex Informatica (http://www.konsultex.com.br)

Barcode info needed
by George Jenner 06 May '03

06 May '03

Hello I've helped set up a library for our primary school over the past 8 months or so. Koha was a possible candidate for our computer system but I couldn't get it going in time. But it's probable that we will change systems next year, and I will propose Koha again. Why I'm writing is that we are about to reshelve all the books, and I want to use the opportunity to put barcodes on them. I think we've got a volunteer to print them all using kbarcode (found the reference here) but our ignorance of barcodes themselves is still profound. What I want to do is print barcodes that will be accepted by any library software, so I need a specification. I see things like EAN 12, UPC, 3 of 9 (not 7 of 9?). I don't want to know what they mean, I just want someone to say "use a 13 digit number, EAN 12 coding, don't use letters and everything will be all right". Is such a specification possible? Or do I have to know what they mean. ( If so I'll just buy the barcodes from Junior Librarian, which is the system the headmistress wants - but I want to spend the money on books) Our books are numbered from 1 to 6500 and I intend to use those numbers as barcode numbers. Many thanks for any advice George Jenner

George, The library standard is Codabar. The bar code is structured with the 1st digit being a 3 for books, a 2 for patrons. The next 4 numbers are the institution code. Once an agency tracked them, but now just pick any 4 numbers. The remaining are the item number. The last digit can be a check digit. Not sure if Koha can calculate checksums. Material Institution Item # Check digit 3 1111 00012345 9 BarCode-1 is the place to go to find out about bar codes. Standards, news, a bulletin board, shareware, and links are available. There are no products for sale, only unbiased information. http://www.adams1.com/pub/russadam/barcode1.html Sincerely, David Bigwood bigwood(a)lpi.usra.edu Lunar & Planetary Institute Cataloging news: http://www.catalogablog.blogger.com -----Original Message----- From: George Jenner [mailto:georgejenner@belgacom.net] Sent: Monday, May 05, 2003 4:13 PM To: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: [Koha] Barcode info needed Hello I've helped set up a library for our primary school over the past 8 months or so.

Koha and the Trophees du libre
by Pat Eyler 05 May '03

05 May '03

As a bit of added excitement, it appears that Koha has made the list of finalists for the Trophees du Libre, a free software prize being awarded in Soissons, France on May 23rd 2003. There are 113 projects who are being considered for awards in 6 classifications. Koha is in the 'Applications for Public Agencies' category, where there are 20 finalists. Paul Poulain will be representing Koha at the awards ceremony. I think congratulations are in order for everybody who's contributed code, documentation, testing, or any other activities that have helped to make Koha what it is. 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
