Error when staging MARC records for import
by Pedro Amorim 01 Nov '15

01 Nov '15

Hello, I have been banging my head with this problem for the past couple of days now and I have no idea what might be causing it. When I upload the .mrc file with the records to import all goes fine but when I press "Stage for import" it stays at 0% for a while, then fills the logs with errors (see below) and after that it goes to "manage staged records" as if everything went fine. It lists how many records were staged and 0 errors found. However, my imported records don't seem right: - The "citation" column is null for every record; - Some MARC fields don't seem to have been imported; I'm not sure if the problem is with the .mrc file or my Koha installation, or both. I've been focusing on the "binmode() on closed filehandle STDOUT" message, changing permissions in files, changing owners, changing the file permission before uploading it, but nothing. Error stack: [Sat Oct 31 13:06:24 2015] [error] [client 10.11.5.52] [Sat Oct 31 13:06:24 2015] stage-marc-import.pl: binmode() on closed filehandle STDOUT at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Templates.pm line 122., referer: http://10.13.54.70:8086/cgi-bin/koha/tools/stage-marc-import.pl [Sat Oct 31 13:06:24 2015] [error] [client 10.11.5.52] [Sat Oct 31 13:06:24 2015] stage-marc-import.pl: Filehandle STDOUT reopened as FH only for input at /usr/lib/perl5/Template/Provider.pm line 965., referer: http://10.13.54.70:8086/cgi-bin/koha/tools/stage-marc-import.pl Thanks, Pedro Amorim

Introduction
by John Sterbenz 01 Nov '15

01 Nov '15

Hi! My name is John Sterbenz and I am exploring joining the Koha community as my library examines its needs in a post-physical collection world. In May of 2013, we had 150,000 physical items across two facilities and six primary collections, with access to around 400,000 electronic titles. By July 2014, we had exactly 215 non-circulating physical items that fit in less than three average-size bookcases,with continued access to the electronic collections. Nearly all of our electronic collection access is provided by aggregators like EBSCO and ProQuest and electronic book packages. There is no more circulation of any sort, no need for patron records (we handle remote authentication via EZ-Proxy), and only a handful (ten) of print serial receipts--all annuals. We ran an Innovative ILS from 1992 until this year. I was hired by my current library back in 1992 to work in it given my background in retrospective conversion cleanup and was named its administrator in 1998. Given our new reality versus what Innovative wanted to continue to charge us for the one product we would actually need, the decision was made by administration to shut down the system and not replace it, causing me, my Technical Services staff, and the other systems librarian here fits. Therein began my examination of open-source solutions, which had actually begun around a year ago when I saw the writing on the wall. Unfortunately, this examination wasn't considered to be a priority by anyone but me, and there were far more pressing issues to handle. After a number of failed attempts since last October, I've gotten Koha 3.20 installed and configured on a Debian jessie VM and will get it to a "proof of concept" stage with our own records for others here to view before making a complete commitment to it. While I haven't made a final decision to make a go of this on my own or call on the expertise of one of the companies that offers support for Koha in various ways, I expect that unless I decide to do the former that I will not get approval to proceed. There are other open-source options for me to consider, of course, but from discussions I've had with others, Evergreen is essentially "too much" for what we need and Kuali, at this point, is a wildcard that requires further examination but also demands much more of my time than I can provide right now even with the promise of its ERM component. While we have lost a lot with the effective shutdown of our old server (especially the loss of ERM functionality), I've been very pleased with my examination of the breadth of features available "out of the box" on Koha, including things that our Innovative implementations never supported. No matter what happens with a public-facing interface, I'm going to use Koha to maintain a "legacy catalog" of what we did once have so that my staff and I can continue to answer questions about a collection we no longer have and exists only through the records and ancillary historic data I've exported from the old Millennium server. I'm sure I'll have questions but I also hope to be able to contribute back to this community in one capacity or another in due time. I look forward to "meeting" and interacting with this group!

Koha ILS authorites module missing interface

Hi! On a test server Debian and Koha 3.20, in the Edit/Add authorities module, the interface does not show, please see below: <http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/file/n5858824/weird_authorities_interface…> It's just so weird why I'm getting this. I have another test server with same specifications but it's working fine, can somebody lead me to where the weirdness is coming from? :P Thanks and cheers! -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-ILS-authorites-module-missing-interf… Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Display 440- series info in OPAC results
by clint.deckard 01 Nov '15

01 Nov '15

Greetings all, A library has entered series info in the 440 tag and would like to this to display in OPAC results. There is an XSLT snippet in the XSLT library on the wiki for displaying 490 data; can this be edited for 440 data, simply substituting 440 for 490 does not work. Also they wish to hide publisher, literary form and isbn number on the OPAC results page- what is the best approach to achieve this. Many thanks, Clint.

Koha Offline Circulation 1.3 Released!
by Kyle Hall 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Hello All, I've updated the original desktop Koha Offline Circulation app for the first time in 5 years! Coeur d'Alene Public Library has sponsored the addition of a new feature. The "Database" menu has now been renamed "Settings" and has a new option to pre-set a default directory to save your .koc files in. When you set this directory, by default the program will now save your files in that directory with timestamp as the file name! You can download the installer here: https://github.com/bywatersolutions/koha-offline-circulation/releases If you are upgrading from a previous version, you will want to uninstall the old version first, as I had to create a new installer from scratch. You'll also need to reselect your borrowers.db file if you had previously selected one.

Configuring smtp mail server to work with Koha
by Pedro Amorim 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Hello, I want to configure an smtp server so that Koha can use it to send e-mail notifications. I was expecting some sort of configuration file where I would configure the server, username, password and some other parameters but that is not the case. >From my research I found 2 possible ways: 1) Editting /usr/share/perl5/Mail/Sendmail.pm file and inserting the smtp server at the top of the file, but where do I insert the smtp credentials (user/pass) in that same file? or 2) Through some postfix configuration which I really would like to avoid. Would anyone shed some light on the matter or provide some sort of guidelines on how to do this? Thank you very much, Pedro Amorim

Create a report that lists biblio number for a specific item type
by Charlotte Stock 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

I've searched the forum but cannot find an SQL report that will allow me to generate a list of biblio numbers for a specific item type (for example, list all DVDs or list all Set Texts). Should I be creating a report for this type of listing or should I be using another tool to create the information I need? Thanks in advance for your time Charlotte -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Create-a-report-that-lists-biblio-number-… Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
