Info request on handling bi/multilingual access and subject headings within Koha
by Selma Aslan 07 Sep '17

07 Sep '17

Hi All, We have migrated to Koha recently, and need to reorganize our authority files since our former ILS system was not very helpful in this respect. As a university of mixed medium (i.e. mainly Turkish + % 30 English) we use headings in Turkish and English, and we would like to link the equivalent headings in two languages. I would appreciate to hear about good practice and receiving suggestions on how to handle this. For instance which MARC fields would be best to use etc. Sample records will be useful. Authorities.loc.gov lists authorized headings with a full stop at the end, but the headings haven't got a fullstop at the end in the 150 field in the authority record. Koha neither creates a fullstop automatically nor allows fullstop to be added if need be in the bibliographic record. What is the common practice: having two versions of headings, one with full stop and one without as authority or sacrificing fullstop at the end of the heading in bibliographic records? Or do I miss something? Thanks in advance for your help. Selma

Our OPAC is not showing that items are checked out in the search results list. If you click on a record, it will show the correct status. We just upgraded to 15.05.02 last Friday on a Debian 8 package install. -- Tim McMahon Technical Services West Liberty Public Library

KOHA Unimarc 606 field not connecting to subject authority
by Ad Notten 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

Dear Koha list users, We have a problem in our system where, during the cataloging process the subject field (606 in Unimarc) does not seem to connect to the subject authority (plugin). We use the Unimarc framework and were suspecting that the error was a result of a recent update which mismatched the fields (MARC21-UNIMARC problem). However this all seems to be well defined as the bibliographic framework tests all come back with an OK. Also the subject authority is available, because (for an existing record) it can be looked at both in the OPAC and in the cataloging module. However it can not be used when editing or when making a new record. For the rest the whole cataloging process is fine and presents no errors. We are running 16.11.08.000 on debian wheezy (8.8) using the packages from the repository. The logs show the following: Adding a biblio, results in some errors logged,but this seems to work fine: > Wed Aug 23 10:18:56.192998 2017] [cgi:error] [pid 20428] [client > 192.168.3.5:49497] AH01215: [Wed Aug 23 10:18:56 2017] Handler.pm: Use > of uninitialized value $INC[-1] in string eq at > /usr/share/koha/lib/Koha/Plugins/Handler.pm line 30, <DATA> line 751., > referer: https://opac.company.com:888/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/additem.pl > [Wed Aug 23 10:18:56.423621 2017] [cgi:error] [pid 20428] [client > 192.168.3.5:49497] AH01215: [Wed Aug 23 10:18:56 2017] addbooks.pl: > Use of uninitialized value $file in require at > /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.20/Template/Plugins.pm line 206., > referer: https://opac.company.com:888/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/additem.pl > [Wed Aug 23 10:19:00.572591 2017] [cgi:error] [pid 20428] [client > 192.168.3.5:49497] AH01215: [Wed Aug 23 10:19:00 2017] Handler.pm: Use > of uninitialized value $INC[-1] in string eq at > /usr/share/koha/lib/Koha/Plugins/Handler.pm line 30, <DATA> line 751., > referer: > https://opac.company.com:888/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbooks.pl > [Wed Aug 23 10:19:00.853005 2017] [cgi:error] [pid 20428] [client > 192.168.3.5:49497] AH01215: [Wed Aug 23 10:19:00 2017] addbiblio.pl: > Use of uninitialized value $file in require at > /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.20/Template/Plugins.pm line 206., > referer: > https://opac.company.com:888/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbooks.pl Then go to field 606 and search: > [Wed Aug 23 10:21:30.720460 2017] [cgi:error] [pid 20534] [client > 192.168.3.5:49505] AH01215: [Wed Aug 23 10:21:30 2017] ysearch.pl: > oAuth error: Unsupported Use attribute (114) authtype Bib-1, referer: > https://opac.company.com:888/cgi-bin/koha/authorities/auth_finder.pl?source… > > [Wed Aug 23 10:21:32.292900 2017] [cgi:error] [pid 20536] [client > 192.168.3.5:49506] AH01215: [Wed Aug 23 10:21:32 2017] auth_finder.pl: > oAuth error: Unsupported Use attribute (114) authtype Bib-1, referer: > https://opac.company.com:888/cgi-bin/koha/authorities/auth_finder.pl?source… > > [Wed Aug 23 10:21:32.293038 2017] [cgi:error] [pid 20536] [client > 192.168.3.5:49506] AH01215: [Wed Aug 23 10:21:32 2017] auth_finder.pl: > Use of uninitialized value $total in subtraction (-) at > /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/authorities/auth_finder.pl line 80, > <DATA> line 751., referer: > https://opac.company.com:888/cgi-bin/koha/authorities/auth_finder.pl?source… > > [Wed Aug 23 10:21:32.293144 2017] [cgi:error] [pid 20536] [client > 192.168.3.5:49506] AH01215: [Wed Aug 23 10:21:32 2017] auth_finder.pl: > Use of uninitialized value $total in numeric gt (>) at > /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/authorities/auth_finder.pl line 105, > <DATA> line 751., referer: > https://opac.company.com:888/cgi-bin/koha/authorities/auth_finder.pl?source… > > [Wed Aug 23 10:21:32.293244 2017] [cgi:error] [pid 20536] [client > 192.168.3.5:49506] AH01215: [Wed Aug 23 10:21:32 2017] auth_finder.pl: > Use of uninitialized value $total in numeric lt (<) at > /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/authorities/auth_finder.pl line 123, > <DATA> line 751., referer: > https://opac.company.com:888/cgi-bin/koha/authorities/auth_finder.pl?source… > "no results" Does anyone have an idea as to where this problem might come from?

Hello from Brimbank Libraries
by Hugh Rundle 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

Hi all Just thought I'd introduce myself. Brimbank Libraries are going live with Koha 16.11 in November, with support from Catalyst IT NZ/Australia. We're a five-branch public library service in the outer West of Melbourne, Australia, serving a population of approx. 200,000 people. Once we're over our go-live, I'm interested in helping out with documentation and general Koha community-building in Australia (and maybe even some code further down the track). We also have a list of enhancements we might be able to fund in future. I've been keeping an eye on Koha for a few years and it's exciting to finally be joining the Koha family :-) Hugh Rundle Library Systems & Resources Coordinator Community Learning & Participation Brimbank City Council Brimbank Community and Civic Centre - 301 Hampshire Road, Sunshine T +61 3 9249 4170 M +61 437 734 108 F +61 3 9249 4351 www.brimbank.vic.gov.au This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.

Newbie Kotau
by Stowasser Rainer 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

Dear fellow Koha /admins/user/frriends I m a public servant in Vienna at the "Zentralanstalt für Meteorologie und Geodynamik" (Austrian weather and seismological service) and I became a librarian just recently after 20 years of empirical research and knowledge working (and a lot of IT stuff). For the past 6 Months (Its a one man job :-) I ve converted our old library system (programmed 1992 ;-) to Koha also doing the step (forward ?) from MAB2 to MARC21. The system is now up and running but for the time being only accessible internally. I ve subscribed to the mailing list cause for me there are many questions open before going "public". Our Data are far below authoritative and have to be "polished" as our holdings are unique (>65.000 books before 1945, from them >27.000 before 1918) so catalog enrichment (copy and paste ;-) is possible in very few cases (as my research at LOC, Austrian and German National Library has shown). Right now I m (re) learning Perl (done my programming for the last 10 Years in Python ) and playing around with the Koha System. Koha is a great System and the longer I dig into it the more I like it.. Cheers Hofrat Mag. Rainer Stowasser Head of Library ZAMG

Hello all, Our library has recently migrated to Koha. Our notices are sent out automatically every morning. I want to edit a notice, but how can I see what it looks like (and check my overdue notice markup) without waiting for the cron job to run?
