Other z3950 servers?
by William Villanueva 10 Aug '02

10 Aug '02

Hi, I've got some books printed in the UK and I just found out that the British Library also supports z3950 access. I just wonder if its as simple as adding the connection information to the z3950server table? This is the data I got regarding access from the British Library website, http://www.bl.uk Host Name: BLPCZ Domain Name: blpcz.bl.uk Port Number: 21021 Database Name: BLPC-ALL Thanks. God bless.

Hi all, Earlier, I was looking up books using the z39.50 connecting to the library of congress. When the book did not come out when I used the ISBN number, I tried looking it up using the AUTHOR. Its now been 615 minutes and still processing. I've already processed others books since that but this one hasn't stopped. Any suggestions? Thanks. God bless. William

Actually, it doesn't clean them up; they only disappear from the display but still pile up in the database. Unless it has been fixed in the last few weeks, this is an outstanding development item that should be brought up on the koha-devel list. - Alan ---- Alan Millar --==> am12(a)bolis.com <==--

Adding members: Area; Inventory
by William Villanueva 09 Aug '02

09 Aug '02

Thanks, Dorian, for the answer re: z39.50 My next question is regarding adding members. There is an option after the address that allows me to select the AREA. Is this fixed to the scripts and not the database? Is there a simple way to fix this for use with our own "area"? Also, is there a way to list all the contents or an inventory of what I already have in the database? Thanks again. God bless. William

how to remove z39.50 results
by William Villanueva 08 Aug '02

08 Aug '02

Hi, I've recently installed koha for use with my personal library. After testing it, I found the z39.50 search option and tested it out. After a couple of trial and errors, I was able to get it to connect to the library of congress and got the data. After the data has been edited and posted, I end up with the search results cluttering up the Z39.50 Search Tool. The question is: how can I clean up the Search Tool page? Thanks. God bless. William

One day to go to get this running on Windows
by georgejenner＠belgacom.net 05 Aug '02

05 Aug '02

I think I'm close but I have to show it running on Tuesday. I've not got apache loading the main page on my intranet but everthing I link to in a different directory gives me a "not found" error. The link seems to be pointing to a place where the script files are, but they obviously don't run. Is there an obvious cause for this or do I just start again. I know it won't work if I do, but I've spent too much time to give up now. Is there anything else I need to do in the apache config that's not noted on the install page. The install script for linux shows more complicated changes being made. Do virtual hosts have to be running properly or can I just link to it using http://localhost??= Any ideas anyone? George

2 Aug, 2002 To the Koha community; Guten Tag, Birthdays (at least in my family) are over and vacations have begun. While the development pace may have slackened a bit, there is still plenty going on. 1.2.3 is in pre-release testing mode, and represents some nice improvements over 1.2.2. The developers at Katipo are also adding shine and polish to the 1.2 tree. We're continuing to get publicity from Linux Weekly News (in the Aug 1st, 2002 Edition this time). In addition, I've now received a copy of an article slated to appear in InCite, the magazine of ALIA. The author, Christophe Augias is also a librarian at Bibliotheque Bernham in New Caledonea. He says that they will be evaluating Koha this fall. If all goes well, they should join the ranks of Koha equipped libraries quite soon. Danke, -pate Pat Eyler Kaitiaki of the Koha Project

26 July, 2002 To the Koha community; Hallo, It looks like another short note this week, my wife turns **[1] years old and I've been a bit distracted. ;) This certainly doesn't mean that we haven't been busy though. As you'll see below, the Koha project is rolling along with a full head of steam! 1.2 I'm very happy to see Koha 1.2.2 out and about. 1.2.1 managed over 20 downloads/day (from sourceforge) for the nearly 20 days since it came out. We seem to be moving more copies with each release ... I hope this trend continues. 1.2.3 is also on the drawing boards. It features a variety of improvements, including more templating. Snapshots of the 1.2.3 branch are available at sourceforge -- these are not release quality yet, so be careful (we'd love to hear about your experiences though). 1.4 Paul Poulain has posted a request for help on the 1.4 branch. He has put together a page of things still to be done for the new MARC version of Koha. Please see: <http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/wiki/index.php?page=ToDoMARC> for more details. It is very encouraging to see all of the progress on 1.2, but we need to make sure that 1.4 doesn't slip because of it. If you're able to lend a hand, and aren't already up to your elbows in 1.2, please pick a task from Paul's list and get to work. Community I've got several oddments to mention here. The first is a bit of advertisement, I've got the english and french versions of these notes archived at <http://pate.eylerfamily.org/geek/Koha.html>. As additional translations show up, they'll be archived as well. I've also started reaching out to the Perl community a bit more. Recently a new website has been created to help newer programmers to develop their skills. I've added Koha to the list of projects seeking 'apprentices'. Take a look at <http://apprentice.perl.org/> for more information (or to sign up to work on Koha or one of the other worthy projects there). With the growing interest in translating Koha, it is interesting to see that a book about creating accessible web interfaces has been published on-line, <http://diveintoaccessibility.org/table_of_contents.html>. If you'd like to take on a quick, non-programming project -- you could read through this book, play with Koha in light of your new-found knowledge, and let the koha-developers list know about any discrepancies you find. It looks like we've got a fun ride ahead of us. Hang on and have fun. Baie dankie -pate Pat Eyler Kaitiaki of the Koha Project [1] In the interest of not sleeping on the couch, I'll decline to mention her age ...
