Current location not showing in OPAC
by Amy Schuler 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

Hi Koha community, We just upgraded to Koha 16.05.03.000. It looks good except, funny thing, the "current location" does not show in any of the OPAC records. I thought it did before... but honestly, maybe I just never noticed? We only have one location. Is this a cause for concern? I did run rebuild zebra. Thanks, Amy Schuler Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies Millbrook, NY

Itemtype images not displaying
by Elaine Bradtke 30 Aug '16

30 Aug '16

I'm hoping this is a simple thing. Now that we've got non print material in our catalogue the reference staff want icons for the different physical formats. I am experimenting in the test site with this. I've set the ItemtypeImages to show in the OPAC, I've also gone through and selected the icons for the item types. They're not showing up. I know our system has a bit of a latency when updating things, so it may eventually resolve itself. But I thought I'd ask if we need to do anything else. I know, we should have probably done this years ago when we set the thing up, but staff changes, and so do opinions on what our users expect. -- Elaine Bradtke Data Wrangler VWML English Folk Dance and Song Society | http://www.efdss.org Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 (This number is for the English Folk Dance and Song Society in London, England.

MARC Modification Templates & indicators
by Eric Phetteplace 30 Aug '16

30 Aug '16

Hi collective wisdom, We're trying to fix up an issue with our records by copying information from the 810 MARC field (series added entry) to 490 (series statement) using MARC Modification Templates. Our template currently is just one action that looks like this: Copy All field(s) 810 __ to field 490 __ with no "if" condition or regex specified. The blank underlines represent the fact that we're copying all the subfields from one tag to the other without modification. But the problem is our cataloger wants to follow standards and make the 490 indicators "1_", that is: first indicator 1 for "series traced", second blank. Our 800 tags have first indicator set to "2" and there doesn't appear to be any way to change them via the templates. Am I missing something or do the MARC modification templates simply not interact with indicators? I know I can export the records and edit them with an external tool like MARCedit or a pymarc script but I wanted to try accomplishing this purely in Koha.

Hello from Vermont
by Mark Alexander 29 Aug '16

29 Aug '16

Hi all, I'm a retired software geek, now living in a small town in Vermont after many years in Silicon Valley. I've been using Linux on my own computers for 20 years, and have hacked on everything from microkernels in assembly language to web apps in Ruby on Rails. I also spent a year in NZ as a child and still consider it as my first home, and miss it very much, though I've not been back since. It's cool to see such great open source software originating from my old homeland. Our town library currently uses proprietary software from Mandarin, but I've been investigating what it would take to convert to Koha. Many libraries here in Vermont are in a consortium that is using Koha hosted by a commercial vendor. But the consortium is closed to new members. So to see what it would take for us to build our own Koha installation from scratch, I installed 16.05 (using git) in an Ubuntu 14.04 virtual machine and have started to play around with it. I've exported our catalog (about 22K items) from Mandarin into a MARC dump. Now I'm figuring out what I need to do to import these records and correctly set things like the item call number and item type. I may ask some questions later if I get stuck. --Mark

You'll want to sit down with your Librarian at this stage and see how they want stuff set up. It's much better to try it, refine it, then do it again if needs be then set stuff up only to find out that they want it totally different. VM is a nice way to go for that, since you can exploderate your less than desireable outcomes at a tiny penalty.
