Searching biblionumber in catalogue using staff client
by Iming Chan 07 May '16

07 May '16

Dear all, Due to our workflow from Acquisitions to Cataloguing, we regularly search Biblionumber (Marc 999$c) in the catalogue when adding new item(s). It will be nice that we could shorten the search syntex of "Biblionumber:" to something like "BN:" or similar. Having to repeatly keyin "Biblionumber:" (followed by relevant number) is quite inefficient. Just in case anyone is interested: For every new item that we received in Acquisitions, we write the corresponding Biblionumber on the title page verso where a book label will be placed later. When time to add the item, we simply search by the Biblionumber noted on the title page verso and it takes us straight to the matching catalogue record. Once we have printed spine and book label sets (they are arranged by Biblionumber) in a batch, we use the Biblionumber to find the matching labels. We then place the book label over the handwritten Biblionumber. ----- Iming Chan Translib Information Service Melbourne, Australia http://opac.translib.com Phone: +61 3 9801 5097 Fax: +61 3 9801 4024 E-mail: iming(a)translib.com -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Searching-biblionumber-in-catalogue-using… Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Z39.50 search results accumulating in reservoir
by Elaine Bradtke 06 May '16

06 May '16

Running some tests on 3.22 before we install it in our production site and noticed something that I hadn't seen before. I added a new record using a z39.50 search ran it through the circulation system, etc. as part of my normal test routine. Then I went to pull it up for editing, and ran a search for the title in the Cataloguing module. I was surprised when all the other titles that came up in the original z39.50 search showed up as being in the reservoir! Will these things continue to pile up in the reservoir? Do they drop off after a certain number has accumulated, or time has elapsed? Is there a setting to switch it off? My stoic cataloguer hasn't mentioned it, but I personally find it untidy. -- 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.

Etiquetas de lomo (Spine labels) en impresora Zebra !!!
by adalid＠tij.uia.mx 06 May '16

06 May '16

Iintento hacer pruebas de impresión de etiqutas de lomo para libros usando una impresora Zebra ZDesigner TLP 2824 Plus (ZPL) desde Koha usando las herramientas de impresión rapida y la de impresión por columnas sin ningún éxito. Según he visto en las listas de correo hay problemas de compatibilidad con esta marca y Koha. Para empezar no encuentro rollos de etiquetas para impresión termica de 1" de ancho por 1.5"de alto pero si las hay de 1.5"de ancho por 1: de alto. Según he visto en las preferencias de la impresora se le puede indicar que la impresión sea horizontal pero en Koha la etiqueta se despliega de manera vertical. Me interesa saber si alguien trabaja con esta marca y puede compartir experiencias o alguna recomendación que me ayude a tomar una decisión sobre si nos quedamos con ella o adquirimos alguna otra compatible con Koha.

Configuring Koha Defaults Documentation
by Peter Bradley 05 May '16

05 May '16

I've written a document about configuring Koha defaults that expands on the couple of sentences provided in the Koha Debian installation instructions. It's turned out to be a rather longer document than I expected and so is probably not suitable as a replacement for what is there already, but could perhaps be linked to. Can anyone tell me who I should approach to get the document made available, if it's considered suitable?

Re: [Koha] Indexing MARC21 tag 264, why not use indexes pl and
by David Cook 05 May '16

Ugh, I hadn't seen https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14198 before... that's not good. I'm not 100% sure on those indexes, Zeno, I'd have to double-check Zebra files and Koha code, but yeah... we definitely want to change how 264 is being indexed. I think it should be indexed the same as 260. Maybe a bit differently due to some conditions tied to indicators, but yeah... ugh.

Koha support for offline checkin/checkout
by Hans Hvelplund Odborg 04 May '16

04 May '16

Does Koha support offline checkout/checkin? E.g. does Koha support "no block", "nb duedate", "return date" and "transaction date" fields (and sets the corresponding fields accordingly in the internal records).

Introduction and questions about defaults configuration
by Peter Bradley 04 May '16

04 May '16

Hi, I'm a retired librarian interested in some local community library projects. To this end I'm interested in being able to suggest Free/OSS library automation solutions to groups of people who may not normally think about using IT solutions because they either consider them to be too costly or too complicated. So what I'm planning to do is to set up a demonstration system on a redundant desktop box I've got kicking about the house. This will be a local system (i.e. will not have contact to the wider network) and so far I've got as far as installing Debian and Koha (via the Debian packages). MySQL is also installed. I do have a couple of questions, if I may. Having got as far as I mention above, the documentation then talks about configuring the defaults. There appear to be two: DOMAIN and INTRASUFFIX. What would I set DOMAIN to, if I wanted other computers on the local network to connect to Koha. Presumably I could always use 'localhost' for connections from the server itself and the server's NAT address (192.168.x.x) from other boxes, or have I misunderstood? But a nice domain name would be more impressive and less scary to the people I have in mind, so how would I go about setting that? And finally, what is INTRASUFFIX and what should I set it to? It means absolutely nothing to me. Many thanks for any help.

Re: [Koha] Introduction and questions about defaults configuration
by Peter Bradley 04 May '16

First a thank you to all those who've responded. Merging all the replies I've managed to make some progress. Because my setup is going to be a private one for the LAN, I'm using my /etc/hosts file rather than DNS. So, I've now added the following line to my /etc/hosts file: 192.168.1.136 testlib.peredur.cym The library name is the one used in koha-create and the domain (peredur.cym) is the one set in my koha-sites.conf: DOMAIN=".peredur.cym" All the other values in that file have been left at their defaults. Now if I go to testlib.peredur.cym I get a message saying that Koha is undergoing maintenance, but if I go to testlib-intra.peredur.cym I still get the "server not found" error message. I imagine that this is because the subdomain has not been set up properly. Can anyone tell me how I can set this up properly for Koha? I'm on a brand new Debian 8 install with everything, including apache, set up using the defaults.

Indexing MARC21 tag 264, why not use indexes pl and copydate
by Tajoli Zeno 04 May '16

04 May '16

Hi to all, reading the log of 264 indexing setup, https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14198 I see that the final decision is to insert all 264 data into indexes Providera and pv. As I have undestand, 264 doen't insert data into pl [place] and into copydate [year]. The comment speaks "Note that if you search again with pb only one record appear. This is because the suggestion of LOC". Can you link me the suggestion of LOC ? I don't find it. And about the other two indexes, pl and copydate ? Why we dont' do something like those line ? <index_subfields tag="264" subfields="a"> <target_index>pl:w</target_index> <target_index>pl:p</target_index> </index_subfields> <index_subfields tag="264" subfields="c"> <target_index>copydate:w</target_index> <target_index>copydate:s</target_index> </index_subfields> In my MARC21 records we are starting to use 264 and we don't use 260 anymore [is an early adopter policy]. Thank you for everything.
