Architectural, design, engineering and construction libraries
by Jason Eyre 15 Apr '03

Kia ora I am wondering if there is anyone on the list from an architectural, design, engineering or construction library. Or for that matter, any small special library with very specialised field and functionality requirements. I would be interested to hear from you, and any thoughts you may have on the potential for Koha in a specials environment.

RE: [Koha] Koha 1.9.2 can be viewed on Test Drive
by Bernadette Cassidy 15 Apr '03

I've had a quick look and it looks good. What is useful is having item formats in the system parameters module which isn't available in version 1.2.3, I'd like to know how other users get round this.

Changing Member Card Number?
by Rams�s Guilbeaux 14 Apr '03

14 Apr '03

Hi all: I'm testing koha version 1.2.3 for our library at the ISPJAE university in Cuba. I'm interested to know how I can change the default card number's value that koha assigns to a new member by the card number that the members already have. I need this because all students, professors and workers here have their own card number valid for all the campus. Best regards... Ing. Ramsés Guilbeaux Cantillo Instituto Superior Politécnico "José Antonio Echeverría" Ciudad de la Habana, CUBA

Upgrade Errors??
by Joshua Ferraro 12 Apr '03

When I performed an upgrade I got some errors that looked bad but didn't seem to impact the overall process. Can anyone tell me if these errors are important or if they need to be reported in bugzilla?

MARC import trouble
by Joshua Ferraro 11 Apr '03

11 Apr '03

I am a bit confused about the management of bibliographic holdings. We have used our old circulation system to create a file with all the holdings information listed in MARC format. However, when I use the Koha 1.9.1 intranet's "Upload MARC records" tool it reports (after about 20 min.) that only 29 items were added (I can't find these items). What format should the import file be in and how can I check to make sure it is correct? Also, is there a faster command line script to populate the bibliographic holdings? What is the breeding farm?

Updated Windows Install Packages for Koha - New wiki pages
by robweir＠alum.drexel.edu 10 Apr '03

10 Apr '03

Windows install packages for Koha Stable Release V1.2.3 and Koha Test Release V1.9.1 are now available. In addition, there is now a new set of pages on the Koha wiki supporting installing Koha on Windows. Go to http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/wiki/index.php?page=KohaProject and click on KohaOnWindows to find download links and other information to help you install and run Koha on a WIndows platform. Koha V1.9.2 may be released very soon, and I'll try to make a Windows install package available as soon as possible after the release. Questions and suggestions regarding Koha on Windows should be directed to koha-win32(a)lists.sourceforge.net. Rob

Koha - need help
by Bernadette Cassidy 10 Apr '03

10 Apr '03

Kia ora, We've recently installed Koha in our library and are in the process of familiarizing ourselves. Have looked at the Librarian's manual and I have a couple of questions. 1. Subject authority files, receiving message that subject 'does not exist in authority file and click submit to force the subject' ??!! 2. Material formats - i.e. CD ROMs, videos, journals, books - how are these set? Many thanks Bernadette Cassidy Library & Learning Coordinator, Allan Bean Centre, Burwood Hospital Private Bag, 4708 Christchurch, NZ. Tel: (03) 383 9492

Installing KOHA
by talia.alton＠iird.vic.gov.au 10 Apr '03

10 Apr '03

Hi All, We are now in the process of installing KOHA as our library catalogue, and we cannot wait to start working with it! For the installation and the transfer of data we are using the good services of Adam Thick of Strategic Data. We are especially interested in the ongoing development of the thesaurus and controlled vocabulary and also, once everything is up and running, in management of serials. I would like to know if there is any way we can promote and progress the work on the thesaurus at this stage. Thanks, Talia Alton Business Information and Research Unit Department of Innovation, Industry and Regional Development talia.alton(a)iird.vic.gov.au _____________________________________________________________ Department of Innovation, Industry and Regional Development Department for Victorian Communities Government of Victoria, Victoria, Australia.
