by Ed Veal 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

Is anyone out there using a third party system or dives to allow patrons to pay any fines or fees? If so what system are you using and what kind of payments does it accept? Also how is it communicating with Koha? Ed -- *Ed Veal*

Recipe to install Ubuntu and Koha on a PC
by Alex Shepherd 04 Mar '19

04 Mar '19

Hi Team, I’m about to assist a remote library to install Koha on a new PC and I’m just wondering what is the current known good recipe for installing Ubuntu and Koha. Can anyone suggest supported versions of Ubuntu and Koha that should install and run cleanly? I’ve tried several times to install Ubuntu 16.04/18.04 and Koha 18.11 onto a VM but appear to have run into issues with Perl libraries, that weren’t obvious to solve. TIA Regards Alex Shepherd p: +64-7-829 4441 m: +64-21-777764 e: kiwi64ajs(a)gmail.com

Floating/Non-Floating hybrid
by Chad Roseburg 01 Mar '19

01 Mar '19

Wondering what ways libraries are using to balance requests with having a great "walk-in" collection. We have been rewarding the organized folks who put in requests but paying less attention to our walk-in patrons and are considering ways in which to balance this. One way might be to have "hot items" locally owned and non-floating. Non-requestable is another way. A combo plate? How have you balanced the quality of your library's collections with your request traffic? We have 30 branches and float our collections. Thank you! Chad -- Chad Roseburg Assoc. Director / IT Automation Dept. North Central Regional Library

Barcode Troubles
by abrazier＠buttepubliclibrary.info 28 Feb '19

28 Feb '19

Hello all, Newbie here. Decided to reach out to the community regarding something happening here at our library in Butte, Montana. We've been using version 18.11 with little to no issue for a month or more but something recently happened. While editing items that are being added to our collection, when we click in the field (p - Piece designation (barcode)) which we have always had set to (autoBarcode: generated in the form 1, 2, 3) we are no longer getting the barcode we expect to see. We suspect it is now going back to barcodes that once belonged to items that are now deleted (because, that earlier barcode is now available). This doesn't work for us and we are trying to determine how to tell Koha that we'd like to start at barcode# X. So that we can move forward with X+1, X+2, etc. Any ideas would be helpful and appreciated. Thank-you, Allen Brazier

Updating Koha
by Nwachi, God'swill 28 Feb '19

28 Feb '19

Good day distinguish professionals. Please I want to ask if updating koha frequently to new available version is compulsory. For example we are using 18.5 version, are we lacking behind and do we need to update up to the current version. Must that be regularly done? Look forward for your feedback .Thanks Nwachi God'swill e-Librarian; Anchor University.
