Thanks for the info! Yikes the though of hand typing 4,000 records really scares me! At what point will it support marc? Is there development in this direction?

If you're going to do Z39.50, let me recommend the YAZ (http://www.indexdata.dk/yaz/) toolkit. We use it at the New Zealand Digital Library and are very happy with it.

Hello from the Museum's Library In Arizona! We have extensive holdings in engineering, communications and computation and like what we have seen on this software.... Wondering though how we get the information from LC into the database to be accessed by the software! Is this MARC record? thanks Ed Sharpe archivist for southwest museum of engineering, communication and computation ---www.smecc.org

new biblio record
by mustafa 09 May '01

09 May '01

I think this is a very nice job. I reviewed your programme, however I couldn't find any solution for the problem in recording biblios. I would like to be informed about wether it is possible to record journal or book etc. data without any supplier admittance. On the other hand, is there any form or programme to provide direct data access to the database? I would be pleased if you let me know about it. Thank you, Mustafa Yilmaz

I'm back

Okay, after a lengthy hiatus on other projects, I'm back working on Koha for a bit. I have two libraries now that are nearing completion of the data entry stage and will be wanting to start circulating. To facilitate this in my situation, I am populating the borrowers database with the accounts the school already uses for accessing school file servers, email and authenticating proxy servers. I've also created a new table called borrowergroups where I list the groups that borrowers are in in our account administration system (ie Grade 6/7, Kindergarten, etc.) so that the librarians can print out overdue lists for each teacher's class. I also have a session with the district's Librarian association where I think I'm going to get grilled about Koha. They had made a decision to use a program called Alexandria universally throughout the district. The problem is that not all schools can come up with the funds to actually use Alexandria. That's where I came into the picture with Koha. Wish me luck. Steve Tonnesen Coast Mountains School District

Re: [Koha] includes not obious to me...

Hi Benedykt, Ah yep this is another glitch in the install. Basically the intranet-html includes are the superset, and opac-html are the subset, that is all the includes ud need are in the intranet-html. So you can point your includes path to be where they are. Sorry about the confusion Chris On Fri, Apr 27, 2001 at 02:55:29PM +0200, Benedykt P.

But yes you probably can get this to work. What you can do is edit C4/Output.pm See this line open (KC, "/etc/koha.conf"); (its about line 47) You can make that be your homedir/koha.conf and put the conf file there if you like. You will also have to edit C4/Database.pm line 57: open (KC, "/etc/koha.conf"); to reflect your changes above. Then in your conf file you can set it up to use a remote database.

on the Cdk perl module...
by Dante D. Dinawanao 29 Apr '01

X-Sulat-MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology-IP: 202.78.82.7 Hi, I'm using RedHat 7.0 for my Koha installation. My problem is, I can't get the Cdk perl module working. The README tells me to rebuild the PERL source. Is there any other way to install Cdk perl module without rebuilding the PERL itself? BTW, my PERL installation is not from source. It's from RedHat's RPM PERL installer. Any info is appreciated. Thanks ,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~, | Dante D.

installation question
by Jian Liu 17 Apr '01

17 Apr '01

Hello, Before starting, I'd like to know if I can install it in an environment where I have no access to /etc where koha.conf should be, nor setting up the virtual host. Basically, I have an account on the web server (apache), where I can execute cgi scripts but no access to root, and I have access to mysql on another machine. Thnaks Jian
