Managing digital subscriptions
by Doug Dearden 26 Jul '16

26 Jul '16

Hi Folks, We have received notice from one of the journals we subscribe to that they are going to only be providing digital format in the future. For copyright reasons I don't think we can just download this file then link to it using the 856u field as that would make it downloadable by anyone. I looked through the manual but didn't find anything to address this. I believe the ideal situation is for the document to be viewable at a workstation inside the library, but not through the public OPAC. Is there a way to handle this? We are on an older version (3.16) but I am quite prepared to update to the latest release as needed. Thanks, Doug Dearden Director, IT School for Advanced Research 505-954-7220 The School for Advanced Research has supported innovative social science and Native American artistic creativity for more than a century. Since we began offering fellowships in 1972, we have funded the work of more than 345 SAR scholars and artists, among whose ranks are six MacArthur Fellows and eighteen Guggenheim Fellows. Please join us in Santa Fe for insightful lectures or a tour of the School's historic campus. You can also follow the work of our resident scholars and Native American artists on our website at www.sarsf.org<http://www.sarsf.org>.

Change "Place Hold" to "Request Item"
by Chad Roseburg 26 Jul '16

26 Jul '16

I found the following jQuery in the Koha library for changing the text for "Place hold": $(document).ready(function(){ var holdlinks = $("a:contains('Place Hold'),a:contains('Place hold')"); $(holdlinks).text("Request Item"); }); $(window).load(function(){ $("input[value='Place Hold']").attr("value","Request Item"); }); It misses some instances like the at the top of the results page. Does anyone have code for this? We're on 3.18. Wonder if this is a case issue Thank you! -- Chad Roseburg Asst. Director / IT Automation Dept. North Central Regional Library

My next adventure
by Nicole Engard 25 Jul '16

25 Jul '16

Hello friends! I wanted to reach out and let you all know that my last day at ByWater will be July 29th. I do plan to remain a member of the Koha community and to help with the manual but will probably be quiet for a couple months as I get adjusted in my new role as Content Strategist at Red Hat. If ever you're in my area let me know and we'll be sure to meet up in person!! Nicole

I haven’t known you as long as Chris, but I’ll never forget standing with Katrin at Kohacon13 in the hotel lobby and trying to figure out if you were pianohacker or not :p. It was a pleasure meeting in person back then, and I’ve always been glad to bump into you on IRC. Sorry to see you go, but best of luck with your new opportunity!

To quote myself talking about mentoring relationships [they] "have all evolved from people asking questions on IRC or in the mailing lists. Then following up the answer with a thank you; usually the ‘thank you' is what gets me hooked." http://www.itworld.com/article/2768355/open-source-tools/mentoring-in-open-… Jesse you never ever once forgot to say thank you, and I hope that I was a small part of helping you become the awesome man you are. We first met in person at Kohacon09 in Plano Texas, and this is where we also need to thank your parents for allowing you to come meet up with a bunch of weird librarians and programmers you hadn't met ;) https://www.flickr.com/photos/37713236@N03/3471061290/ And most recently in Berlin and Thessaloniki https://www.flickr.com/photos/ranginui/26941372043/ Still discussing technical things with other devs, the difference is this time you were legal to drink a beer ;) I know you will do great things at the new place you are working at, but I also know you have the Koha bug now, and you'll be back ;) All the best, keep in touch Chris

Koha as a local authors catalog: TEST SITE
by King, Fred 22 Jul '16

22 Jul '16

Esteemed colleagues, (Please excuse all the capital letters in my message--they're there to make it ABSOLUTELY CLEAR that this is ONLY A BETA PROJECT at the moment.) At KohaCon 2013 in Reno, I gave a presentation on modifying Koha to serve as a local authors catalog. My presentation was hampered by (1) the Koha server being behind my institution's firewall so I couldn't do a live demo, and (b) I had designed my slideshow the day before during my lunch break since I was giving my presentation in place of someone who couldn't make it. Three years went by. I learned more and more about Koha. I even took a class in Linux system administration. Then earlier this year I started working on Version 2, and this time I've gotten it right. Well, more so than the previous one. I added a few MARC fields and tags here and there, redesigned some to make more sense, and redesigned the structure to make it more accommodating to different institutions and departments within our system. I'm going to be giving a presentation at this year's Koha US conference in Monterey next month, and I'd like to give conference-goers and anybody else interested a preview of my catalog. It's still a TEST SITE, and it DOES NOT OFFICIALLY REPRESENT MY INSTITUTION, or anybody connected with it. So what is it, and what did I do to Koha? I work in a hospital library, and the doctors, nurses, residents, and other associates who work here write articles, give presentations, etc. Our library has tracked publications for years, but after we migrated to Koha I decided to try putting our HTML lists of citations into something more searchable. Most of the works our staff produce are indexed in Medline. I took Medline records, converted them to MARC, and uploaded them to an instance of Koha that I had modified to account for the new or modified field tags. There's more to it than that, but I have to save *something* for the conference, don't I? After all, I have 45 minutes to fill. I am delighted to say that this UNOFFICIAL TEST SITE which is NOT OFFICIALLY AFFILIATED WITH MY INSTITUTION OR ANYBODY ELSE ANYWHERE is available for PREVIEW at http://www.philobiblios.info It's running on one of Digital Ocean's smallest configurations (one processor, 20GB SSD, 512MB RAM), so if a lot of people are looking at it, it may be kind of slow. If it crashes, I'll try moving it to one of their more robust configurations. Comments are welcome, of course--that's why I'm telling you about this UNOFFICIAL TEST SITE before the conference and before it's official. Send comments to authcat (at) philobiblios (dot) us. (Yes, the web site ends in .info, the e-mail address ends in .us.) Do you think I put in enough disclaimers?
