Can't run auth_show_hidden_data.pl script
by Prof. Lisandro Laura 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

Hi everyone! I was upgrading from 17.05.04 to 17.05.06 and the following showed up: "Bug 18811 fixed an inconsistency in the visibility settings for authority frameworks. It is recommended that you run script misc/maintenance/auth_show_hidden_data.pl to check if you have data in hidden fields and adjust your frameworks accordingly to prevent data loss when editing such records" I was traying to run the script: perl ./usr/share/koha/bin/maintenance/auth_show_hidden_data.pl But I get the following error: "Can't locate Koha/Authorities.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Koha::Authorities module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.20.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.20 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20 /usr/share/perl/5.20 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at ./usr/share/koha/bin/maintenance/auth_show_hidden_data.pl line 28.

MARC field and heading validation with Koha
by Reichert, Kumiko 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

Hello all, I apologize for cross-posting. My library's Koha will go live next month, and I am now in training. I hope you don't mind questions from a newbie. How do you validate MARC fields and headings/access points based on the local authority database (1XX, 6XX, 7XX and 8XX) with Koha? If Koha does not have the functionality, how do you manage validation? Sincerely yours, Kumiko Kumiko Reichert Metadata and Cataloging Librarian Maxwell Library Bridgewater State University 10 Shaw Road Bridgewater, MA 02325 kumiko.reichert(a)bridgew.edu<mailto:kreichert@bridgew.edu> 508-531-2665

Invitation for Libraries using Koha to participate in the 2017 Library Automation Perceptions survey
by Marshall Breeding 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

To all libraries using Koha: I'm collecting data for the 2017 International Library Automation Perceptions survey. This survey, now in its eleventh annual iteration, provides an opportunity for libraries to register their perceptions of the strategic automation products they use, organizations that provide these products, and the quality of support delivered. The survey also probes at considerations for migrating to new systems and the level of interest in open source products. As open source software supported both by the general community and by a variety of different service firms, some special considerations apply to Koha. In the libraries.org directory, Koha is represented by a combination of the name Koha and the primary support organization involved. (For example Koha - Catalyst IT, Koha -- ByWater Solutions). Libraries relying entirely on community support or internal resources are represented as Koha - Independent. If there are any special support arrangements not covered by these conventions, just mention that in the comments area of the survey. In this way the survey will be able to reflect both the functionality of the Koha software and the quality of support provided. This model of representing libraries using Koha isn't ideal, but is a pragmatic approach that aggregates all users of Koha while also segregating the different support scenarios. While the numeric rating scales support the statistical results of the study, it's the comments offered that provide the most insight into the current state of library automation satisfaction. Comments will be published in the survey results, redacted to conceal text that might identify the individual or organization responding. The raw data for the survey will not be shared, but reports are available that provide a variety of ways to view results. Please help your fellow librarians who might be in the process of evaluating library automation options by responding to the survey. Any information regarding vendor performance and product quality can be helpful when making strategic decisions regarding automation alternatives. A large number of responses strengthen the impact of the survey and the subsequent report. If you have responded in previous years, please respond again this year to help identify any trends regarding improvement or worsening of the products or support services. For more information about the survey, for instructions on how to participate, and to see results of previous year's survey reports, see: http://librarytechnology.org/web/breeding/AutomationSurvey/ I hope that all libraries using Koha will respond. Feel free to forward this request to any other library-related list. Please let me know if there are any questions regarding the survey.
