bugs.koha-community.org (and a few other sites) outage
by Chris Cormack 28 Sep '17

28 Sep '17

Hi All Linode are migrating servers to a new data centre, this will cause an outage for the server that runs bugs.koha-community.org and a few other sites (including download.koha-community.org) They will do it automatically, but I am going to do it today manually so that I can keep an eye on it. So those sites will go down for a while, while I move it I will update when the move is completed Chris -- Chris Cormack Catalyst IT Ltd. +64 4 803 2238 PO Box 11-053, Manners St, Wellington 6142, New Zealand

Geo-tagging Collection/Branches for SEO?
by Martha Fuerst 28 Sep '17

28 Sep '17

Greetings! We learned about Demco’s DiscoverLocal tool, which geo-tags a library’s collection and feeds that info back into search engines so that collection information shows up in search results. This also, apparently, allows devices like Amazon Alexa to place holds and renew items for users. Since Koha 16.11 has a built in command for sitemap generation for SEO, I’m curious whether or not geo-tagging MARC records/branch locations is possible as well? Does the sitemap tool already give us some of these features? Are the other features possible? We’re looking forward to our 16.11 upgrade later this year, but I’m curious if libraries already running 16.11 have any insight. Thanks! Best, Marti Fuerst Systems Librarian Huntsville-Madison County Public Library 915 Monroe St, Huntsville, AL 35801 http://hmcpl.org/ — mfuerst(a)hmcpl.org

Display LOC/DDC in OPAC Normal View
by Charlotte Stock 27 Sep '17

27 Sep '17

Our OPAC Normal View for a record only shows the DDC classification, whereas I would like it to show the LOC classification or, if necessary, both DDC and LOC. Having trawled through the OPAC and framework options though, I still cannot find where to make this adjustment. Please could someone signpost the route I should take?
