preliminary info about Koha needed
by Raj Shekhar 24 Feb '03

24 Feb '03

I have been asked by a small temple to automate the library system their. The system they are currently using has been made by a total dumb wit using MySQL as backend and VB for creating the frontend. THe code and the database organization is so bad it can bring tears to the most stone hearted of the developers. Anyways after doing some research on Freshmeat, I came across Koha and was struck by the elegance of the system. After I showed them Koha, they were very willing to shift their whole system to GNU/Linux and start using Koha. However as I do not know much about a Libray system I wanted to clear a few doubts about Koha before moving the existing system. If you can just point me the relevant web pages I will try to work out the rest myself. - Can the book numbers be generated by Koha? The librarian at the temple too has not much idea of managing the library, he is doing it as a social service. The library has started only a few days back and they have not numbered the books. So they do not have any preferences as to which system is used to give numbers to the book. - Some of the books have been donated. Can these be shown seperately when an inventory record is generate? Thanks in advance. Regards Raj Shekhar __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - forms, calculators, tips, more http://taxes.yahoo.com/

by Marie Buchler 24 Feb '03

24 Feb '03

We have recently installed koha for our small library. 1. Is it possible to record borrowings without using a barcode. I couldn't get it to do this. 2. What kind of barcode system have you used and could anybody recommend suppliers in the Auckland region. Thanks, Marie Buchler EcoQuest Education Foundation

Open Source Book
by Peter Harrison 22 Feb '03

22 Feb '03

Hi Everyone, Currently there is a book being written about open source, specifically a book aimed at decision makers, such as IT executives, about the benefits of open source. The books development has been organized and sponsored by the New Zealand Open Source Society. If there is anyone on this list who is involved with the development of Koha, and would like to write a description of the Koha project as a case study in open source development and cooperation in government I would very much appreicate it. Regards, Peter Harrison NZOSS

I have Koha running on a Sparc platform on Solaris 8. But everytime I try to start the z3950-daemon-launch.sh script it fails after a few seconds with the following error. su: Unknown id: /usr/appl/www/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/z3950-daemon-shell.sh I've tried just about everything, can't figure out what I'm missing. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks Bryan A.
