Statement of responsibility display w/ movies
by Cab Vinton 23 Mar '17

23 Mar '17

This falls under the minor annoyance category, but user experience is important so ... Statements of responsibility for movies tend to be huge affairs -- a tedious list of studios, producers, writers, directors, etc. -- like so: http://catalog.southernnh.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?… I'm fairly confident 99%+ of our patrons don't care about this information & would prefer to not see it cluttering up the initial results screen. So I'm wondering if there's an elegant way of suppressing the information in the 245 c subfield but only for particular item types (i.e., movies). Or perhaps a way to display just the last clause (usually the movie's director), following the final semi-colon. Thoughts? Cab Vinton, Director Plaistow Public Library Plaistow, NH

Preserving circ history of deleted item
by Ellen Kaye 23 Mar '17

23 Mar '17

Hello, When I replace an item with an identical item (with the same bib record), how do I keep the circ. history for the work? (For example, if we want to gauge our patrons' interest in "Pedagogy of the Oppressed," but have to replace our battered copy, how do we preserve the circ. history?) If I delete the old item, will the circ. history disappear? If I withdraw it, it shows in the catalog as "withdrawn," which we don't want. I know how to suppress a record, but not on the item level only. Thanks!

Routing with a FQDN
by Mubassir Ahsan 23 Mar '17

23 Mar '17

Dear Dave Jury, You can overcome this situation by assigning another subdomain for the staff client. i.e. koha.peterhouse.co.zw and opac.peterhouse.co.zw So 80 port will be shared. You don't need to use 81 port.

Unable to export all marc records data from Koha ILS
by schnydszch 23 Mar '17

23 Mar '17

Dear all, In Koha 16.11.05, Debian 8.x, I'm trying to export all records as MARC from my library by not choosing an item type but 'All' item types and "All Libraries". Did not upload any biblionumbers to check from. This previously worked in older Koha version, where all records are downloaded, however when doing this in 16.11.05, I'm getting the following error message: Software error: Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/tools/export.pl line 75. For help, please send mail to the webmaster ([no address given]), giving this error message and the time and date of the error. Is this how export records now works? Or is it a bug? Thanks and have a nice day! -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Unable-to-export-all-marc-records-data-fr… Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Separate hold queues?
by Andreas Hedström Mace 22 Mar '17

22 Mar '17

Hi all! We are at Stockholm University Library experiencing some difficulties with how Koha is currently handling hold queues, and are considering development in this area. Are there any other libraries who are experiencing similar issues (see below), and would be interested in the development of separate hold queues? Or have an opinion on whether this would be a good/bad idea? In Koha today it is possible to limit the fulfilment of holds per branch (same pick-up location as home/holding library) and item type. For us, it makes most sense to view this as several hold queues for one bibliographic record. For example: a person queuing for a book from the textbook collection (item type = ”TC”) isn’t actually queuing for books for the general collection (item type = ”GC”). But Koha handles this as one big queue. This isn’t a problem for the holds per se, as Koha only fetches the book that has the right criteria to fill the hold (i.e. the correct item type or home/holding library) but it has proven to be an issue for our patrons. As Koha displays it as one big queue, it might seem that the queue is much bigger that it actually is. This has confused a number of patrons, and have discouraged others from placing holds. Continuing our example: a book has three patrons on hold for item type GC, when a new patron adds a hold for TC. This makes this person number four in the queue in Koha today, making the patrons believe that they will have to wait weeks or months for the book (in our library TC is 7 days, GC 28 days) when in reality it is only one week. For us, this would better be described as two queues: One with 3 patrons on hold (General collection) One with 1 patron of hold (Textbook collection) The same is true for hold fulfilment that require pick-up location to be the same as home/holding library (i.e. hold fulfilment per branch). Say a public library also have a school library in it’s organization, that is a special case where books from the other libraries should not be sent to the fulfil holds, or vice versa. As in our example above it would be better to display queues separately so 5 holds at the main library won’t discourage a student from placing a hold on that same book at the school library. So my question is basically, is there are other libraries out there who are using any of these hold fulfilment features (or would like to), and would want to see a new feature to separate/split hold queues? Or who could see the benefit of such a feature. Please note that separate hold queues would of course only come in effect if any system preference that limits hold fulfilment is set to allow. Also, this would not effect holds to pull. I look forwards to hearing people’s opinion about this!
