The Terrific Every-Other-Thursday Training Video

23 May '24

You may or may not know that Koha has a great Self Check system. Let's just assume you don't know. Anyway, George and Christopher are going to talk about the self check, and some of the things they are doing to make it better, and some things that it still needs a little help on. Oh, and chances are, George's kids still doesn't like our videos. They'll come around someday. https://youtu.be/75C_o2Ox7zw Sincerely, Christopher Brannon koha-US Admin

[Fwd: Re: Koha Foundation Vote is open]
by Thomas Dukleth 16 May '24

16 May '24

Please, whenever we next have a community poll, we should go back to using FOSS software, such as LimeSurvey which we have used in the past. Using non-FOSS software, such as JotForm if I understand correctly, where the source code is not even available for audit is particularly problematic for community surveys. Some language furthering Koha as FOSS and the Koha community in a FOSS environment wherever practical should be in the organisational purpose of any Koha community foundation incorporation papers. FOSS should be the primary reason people choose Koha and we should avoid diluting that message wherever practical.

One vote per person please. If I remember correctly, previous survey software used for voting on Koha community concerns certainly had the principle of one vote per person but allowed vote reconsideration and changing the one counted voted by voting again with a different vote. > https://koha-community.org/koha-foundation-vote/ In https://ptfs-europe.com/koha-foundation-proposal/ , very little is stated about the intended governance structure of a foundation other than the legally required five member board of directors and two volunteers, and the unstated presumptive necessity that it has to avoid legal conflicts of interest to comply with Open Library Foundation and US non-profit 501c3 rules. For example, there is no statement considering a concern of historic discussions of a possible Koha foundation to geographically federate some input into foundation governance for such an internationally distributed project as Koha to avoid the foundation excessively serving US or Anglo-US interests based on the US location of the foundation other than "in the first instance, to keep the governance light". There is also no historical background explaining that the project had previously organised under Horowhenua Library Trust [HLT], subsequently THT. Upon the dissolution of THT for Horowhenua District Council [HDC] to directly run Horowhenua libraries directly, Koha community assets might have devolved to HDC which had created HLT and then THT as an administrative organisation for local libraries. I do not remember what happened if anything decisive subsequent to "THT and Koha: a new Trust Deed" - https://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2016-October/046346.html and https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/THT_and_Koha . The complication at the time was that there was no representative Koha community organisation to which THT or HDC could transfer Koha community assets other than THT which was being dissolved.

Question about inventory
by Ratliff, Ramona 14 May '24

14 May '24

Hello everyone, We are starting to do inventory, and the two of us working with it haven't done it before in Koha, so we have one question. When we ran a shelf list, some of the call numbers were out of order. We use Library of Congress classification. The problem looked like this: JUVE D 767..92 .M42 2002 JUVE DS 793 .G67 M33 1997 JUVE DT 63 .M35 1997 JUVE D 141 .V37 1991 All of the call numbers with only D instead of DS or DT should have come before anything with two letters for this line in the call numbers. Instead, there were Ds, then DFs, DGs, DKs, DSs and DTs and then 5 books with only D showed up after the DTs. *Ramona Ratliff * Information Specialist *York University* Office: (402) 363-5708 | rjratliff(a)york.edu <email(a)york.edu> | *york.edu <http://www.york.edu/>*
