Status lost for items
by Søren Hovmand 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Hello Koha Community, A short introduction from me as a newcomer to the community: At DTU Library, Technical University of Denmark, we are migrating from Aleph to Koha. Some 300.000 bib records and corresponding items. Patrons will not be migrated from Aleph but from our local user/patron database, used at present both for sync to Aleph and for general login to our DI/integrated search. Our discovery interface (DTU Findit - Solr/Blacklight) will be the frontend for all Koha transactions. At the moment we are working on getting the integration between Koha and the discovery interface done. For most part based on ILS-DI. For getting the bibliographic records into the data store of our Discovery interface we will rely on OAI harvesting from Koha although we do experience some serious and worrying performance issues in that area at the moment. The project started autumn 2016 and time line is to go live September this year. I have worked as a system librarian for 25 years - mostly databases, discovery interfaces, project management etc. But never with books or printed material as such - luckily I have colleagues who can help. To my question - apologies if it should be obvious: Where do I mark an item lost? I can find documentation on where it should be (Item Statuses/Edit item) but not find the option anywhere in our test installation (version 16.05.05.000) I look forward to working with Koha and with you all. And hope that once we have implemented Koha in production and get more hands on experience, I will be able to contribute to the community Best Søren Hovmand Senior Officer DTU Library Technical University of Denmark Anker Engelunds Vej Building 101 D 2800 Kgs.

MARC Load Error
by Lamb Joseph 21 Jun '17

21 Jun '17

I was hoping to get some direction or more logging for an error please. While staging a MARC records from my old library system, I get "use of uninitialized value $tag in hash" from /usr/share/perl5/MARC/Record.pm line 202. I opened up record.pm at line 202 and the field is I<tagspace>. 245?. I am not sure that field 245 is the problem. This is example from my file (=245 10$aPhantom of the auditorium /$cR.L. Stine.) So staged this file in my other Koha system and it staged fine. So this new Koha instance might have a missing configuration. Thank you,Joseph Lamb

Broken image links in Koha manual
by Michael Kuhn 19 Jun '17

19 Jun '17

Hi On 20 February 2017 I have written the following about Koha 16.11 and the same is still true for Koha 17.05: Koha contains a context-sensitive help function in the staff client at the upper right corner which will open a new window. At the end of every such window there is a link to the manual included. But clicking it will lead to http://manual.koha-community.org/16.11/en/ resp. http://manual.koha-community.org/17.05/en/ In both these manuals THE LINKS TO EVERY SINGLE IMAGE ARE BROKEN. I think if there is a beautiful new manual like https://koha-community.org/manual/17.05/html/ it should be the one that Koha links to (instead of the old manuals with the broken image links). Tell me if I can help correcting this. Best wishes: Michael -- Geschäftsführer · Diplombibliothekar BBS, Informatiker eidg.

e-books as Koha items
by Giuseppe Angilella 19 Jun '17

19 Jun '17

Hi, I've just started populating my library's catalog with e-book readers and e-books. I've defined different item types for either e-readers and e-books, and classified the former as "equipment" and the latter as "monographs" in the appropriate MARC record fields (leader etc). For a given e-reader type (Kindle, say) I may have several items. These are distinct, as they have a different serial number, and receive therefore a distinct barcode. Similarly, they can be borrowed individually. Therefore, they perfectly qualify as "Koha items". On the other hand, an e-book is entered as a specific record (which is distinct from the record of the corresponding hardcopy, if also available), with a cross-link to the e-reader's record in the 773 MARC field. Originally, I thought that no physical item should be attached to an e-book, since it is the e-reader, and not the e-book, which can be borrowed. However, this prevents the e-book to appear in the "Browse shelf" feature, close to books with similar topic (which is very useful for patrons). One solution might be that of restricting the e-book type to "no loan", but then the cross-link to the appropriate e-reader would be contained in the record (Koha's biblioitem), and not in the item (Koha's item), which might be confusing for the patron. Another solution might be that of devising some kind of "virtual items". Several "virtual items" (say, several e-books) could be mapped onto a single (physical) "item", so that whenever the (physical) item is on loan, all of the "virtual items" contained by it are also set "on loan". A "virtual item" could then be shelved, receive a call number etc appropriately, and therefore show consistently in Koha's "browse shelf" feature. I would very much appreciate receiving your feedback on my thoughts above. Best regards, Giuseppe.
