Drawing Software - Floor Mapping Library's Collections
by jeff haskell 16 Jul '18

16 Jul '18

Hi, I'm new to the list and grateful to be here. I'm interested in drawing software so patrons and new staff, volunteers and student interns can find materials on shelves easily and quickly. Ex. one set of shelves to the far left of the circulation desk would be labeled Fiction. Then the next set of shelves named Mystery in the shelves bay to the right of the Fiction shelves bay and then to the right of that the shelves Bay for Supernatural. This would be a floor plan so a patron could walk around the library and look at this floor plan map and know where Fiction is - where Mystery is, Biography, etc. for every collection throughout the library. If I sat with an illustrator they could probably draw it all up in about 20-30 minutes and I would just scan what they drew and have a map (crude compared to a 3D) but enough so a patron could find items. But, is there any *free* easy to learn / easy to use software which could accomplish that? Thank you! J.

Report help needed
by Elaine Bradtke 16 Jul '18

16 Jul '18

This report finds Authors not linked to authorities. But it only lists their names (some of them are quite prolific, and sometimes it's only one biblio that needs checking). How can I make the following give the biblio number as well as the name? SELECT DISTINCT heading FROM ( SELECT ExtractValue(metadata, '//datafield[@tag="100"]/subfield[@code="a"]') AS heading FROM biblio_metadata WHERE length(ExtractValue(metadata, '//datafield[@tag="100"]/subfield[@code="a"]')) != 0 AND length(ExtractValue(metadata, '//datafield[@tag="100"]/subfield[@code="9"]')) = 0 UNION SELECT ExtractValue(metadata, '//datafield[@tag="110"]/subfield[@code="a"]') AS heading FROM biblio_metadata WHERE length(ExtractValue(metadata, '//datafield[@tag="110"]/subfield[@code="a"]')) != 0 AND length(ExtractValue(metadata, '//datafield[@tag="110"]/subfield[@code="9"]')) = 0 UNION SELECT ExtractValue(metadata, '//datafield[@tag="111"]/subfield[@code="a"]') AS heading FROM biblio_metadata WHERE length(ExtractValue(metadata, '//datafield[@tag="111"]/subfield[@code="a"]')) != 0 AND length(ExtractValue(metadata, '//datafield[@tag="111"]/subfield[@code="9"]')) = 0 UNION SELECT ExtractValue(metadata, '//datafield[@tag="130"]/subfield[@code="a"]') AS heading FROM biblio_metadata WHERE length(ExtractValue(metadata, '//datafield[@tag="130"]/subfield[@code="a"]')) != 0 AND length(ExtractValue(metadata, '//datafield[@tag="130"]/subfield[@code="9"]')) = 0 ) AS heads ORDER BY heading Thanks in advance!

Fwd: [Koha-devel] Sparql and koha opac (wikidata and bnf to try things)
by Claire Hernandez 16 Jul '18

16 Jul '18

Hello, I sent this mail to koha-devel and I would like to know if you think "something" about that :) https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21074 (screenshots inside) Regards, Claire. -------- Message transféré -------- Sujet : [Koha-devel] Sparql and koha opac (wikidata and bnf to try things) Date : Fri, 13 Jul 2018 16:09:41 +0200 De : Claire Hernandez <claire.hernandez(a)biblibre.com> Pour : Koha-devel(a)lists.koha-community.org Hi, I wanted to try and learn about semantic web and sparql. So I give it a try in a opac-detail view. This patch is just a poc and really not for production. I wanted to know if this type of work is relevant to you. I know in community previous work was done but maybe you can share where you are now with linked data ? Just 2 words about the dev : * Simple syspref called "Explore", 3 possibilities: nothing, Bnf (national library in france) and Wikidata * Some datas are fetched, I suppose I have an ark in my biblio * I display "simple information", there is no complicated query Possibles "next" : * Not one source (bnf or wikidata), but cross fetch between sources (ex: bnf + wikidata + europeana + geonames + whatever ;) * Having a "local triple store" or not doing real time to have information display quicker * More complicated queries to display timeline for date or exploring period, exploring "notable work" or "author collaborated with" etc. The dev is probably not as clean as you wish, and I prefer to share something to talk about - even not perfect - than nothing. I plan to write a blog post about what I learn. Tell me if you are interested, it could encourage me to do it :p Claire.

I would very much like to be unsubscribed from the Koha list for librarians. I was interested more in becoming an end user of the database, as a researcher. I do not want to work with setting up a library system. Thanks, Lucille D'Jernes

Batch restriction of patrons?
by Cab Vinton 15 Jul '18

15 Jul '18

Hi, All -- We've used the noissuescharge setting in the Circulation preferences to prevent patrons from checking items out when their fines exceed a certain amount. However, since most of our fines are relatively modest, it may take several months to reach the noissuescharge cap if a patron only has 1 or 2 items checked out. There doesn't appear to be a similar setting for blocking patrons when a particular item becomes long overdue. We can go into each patron's account & add a manual restriction, but we generally have several patrons needing this change in status. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the Batch Patron Modification tool can be used to set patrons' debarred status (though we can set a new expiration date for their cards). I believe the Patron Import tool might be an option, but that seems too convoluted. Am I missing something? Many thanks in advance, Cab Vinton, Director Plaistow Public Library Plaistow Public Library

Chrome vs. Firefox in recent versions of Koha / Firefox
by Nick Clemens 13 Jul '18

13 Jul '18

Hi All, I was testing today in different browsers and noted that Chrome seems to be loading much faster than Firefox. In looking at the logs, I see that Chrome makes about 3 requests per page, while Firefox is making 20+ calls, mostly for .css and .js files. It seems that Firefox has changed it's caching strategy and more files are being reloaded. Has anyone else noticed this or tested using Chrome? -Nick -- Nick Clemens Sonic Screwdriver (Development Support) ByWater Solutions IRC: kidclamp
