Hello & first question
by Margaret Irons 06 Jan '16

06 Jan '16

Hello Happy new year to all. Just want to introduce myself. We are a research library in Dublin Ireland and we migrated from Heritage to Koha just before Christmas. So it's all still very new. First question - all our journals have come across into the cataloging module and we want to move them to the serials module (is module the right word?). Anyone know how this can be done? Thank you Margaret -- Margaret Irons Librarian School of Celtic Studies Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies 10 Burlington Road Dublin 4 +353 1 6140182 www.celt.dias.ie/library @SCSLIbrary

Batch patron deletion/anonymization issue page: Restricted dropdown menu
by Charlotte Stock 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

The dropdown menu for "whose patron category is" does not display the full set of patron types; annoyingly, it is the 'student' category that I need to select! In case the menu is limited to a specific number of lines, I then deleted a disused category in the hope that it would allow the 'student' category to be displayed but this has not happened. I have checked each patron category and there is no branch limitation. Can anyone suggest why this dropdown menu does not supply all patron categories, and what the workaround solution will be? Thanks Charlotte --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email message has been delivered safely and archived online by Mimecast.

How to clean transaction table?
by Vimal Kumar V. 30 Dec '15

30 Dec '15

Dear Friends, Today our Koha officially started in production mode. Trial transaction (checkout, checkin, fines etc) details are still in Koha. We wish to clean all transaction details from Koha and start the transactions fresh from today. If old transactions persist in Koha, auditors create problems at the year end. How can we clean the transaction table and get ready for a fresh startup? Regards, -- Vimal Kumar V.

Fwd: Some Questions About Koha
by Liz Rea 30 Dec '15

30 Dec '15

Hi Fabricio, I'm on holiday this week, but I've forwarded your message to the koha community email list, hopefully someone there will have an answer for your questions. Cheers, Liz ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Fabricio Soares" <fabriciosoares(a)yahoo.com> Date: Dec 30, 2015 6:59 PM Subject: Some Questions About Koha To: "wizzyrea(a)gmail.com" <wizzyrea(a)gmail.com> Cc: Hello Liz I found your email by Github (Koha project). My name is Fabricio and I'm from Brazil, I am working on the implementation of Koha in my institution with about 20 libraries, and we are writing some scientific articles (one of them has been published in a scientific journal here in Brazil ) in one of the articles that we are writing, we are describing the evolution of development by assessing the Bugzilla bug reports . Anyway, we have some questions and we would like to clarify for the completion of our work. Do you know who can clarify such matters? We look forward to completing our work and thus disclose the Koha in scientific journals and also in Brazil (which still does not know the tool) and South America. I await answers , Fabricio Soares da Silva
