Apostrophes in search terms
by Arturo Longoria 31 May '18

31 May '18

Hello all, Our library is having issues with items in our collection that include apostrophes in the title – for example, O'Connor's Texas Causes of Action. Basically, if a user does not include the apostrophes, Koha does not return the record. I found this bug filed in 2010 that still has no resolution describing similar issues with apostrophes and other punctuation marks when using Zebra, which we are: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5534 What are other libraries doing to get around this usability issue? We can't expect our users to always include apostrophes, and so the only solution we've come up with is adding additional titles (MARC 246$a) that don't use apostrophes, but we have thousands of records, so adding these manually is not feasible. I'm curious to hear what other libraries are doing to get around this issue. Any input would be appreciated! Arturo Longoria Reference Librarian/Web Manager Texas State Law Library www.sll.texas.gov

Introduction / Problem with bulk import
by Markus Becker 31 May '18

31 May '18

Dear Koha-community! - First i want to apologize that my English is a little bit rusty ... - Second, i want to introduce myself: My name ist Markus Becker, living in Duisburg, Germany. On the one hand i am head librarian of the Ministry of Home Affairs Northrine-Westfalia in Düsseldorf, on other hand i am a student of ,,Bibliotheksinformatik'' (Library Computer Science) at the Wildau Institute of Technology. For my Master Thesis i want to take a deeper look on Koha, trying to proof, that Koha is an possible LMS for the governmental libraries in Northrine-Westfalia. - Third, i have a problem with the bulk-import of MARC21XML-Records to Koha and i hope, someone can give me a little hint (technical details of the Koha-installation below): When i try to import the MARC21XML-File with the bulkmarcimport.pl via console (following http://kohageek.blogspot.de/2016/05/bulk-marc-import-using-command-line.html) i get the following error: > ..Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at > /usr/share/perl5/MARC/File/XML.pm line 397, <GEN46> chunk 5. > > 2 MARC records done in 0.16786003112793 seconds The 2 MARC records were *not* imported. The error is occurring with MARC21XML-files created with my own conversion-script and with files exported from Koha itself. Any hints for me? Thank You very much in advance, Markus Technical details of my Koha-installation: (Running in a Virtual Box) Koha-Version: 17.11.00.000 OS Version ('uname -a'): Linux debian 4.9.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.65-3+deb9u1 (2017-12-23) x86_64 Perl Interpreter: /usr/bin/perl Perl-Version: 5.024001 Perl @INC: /usr/share/koha/lib /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.24.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.24 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24 /usr/share/perl/5.24 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base MySQL-Version: mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.1.26-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2 Apache-Version: Server version: Apache/2.4.25 (Debian) Zebra 2.0.59 (C) 1994-2014, Index Data Zebra is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions.
