Peter, You can also try to import your .mrk file using the bulkmarcimport.pl script since it's more verbose than the import from the UI. Let us know!

Hello all - We had our first meeting today using Google Hangouts. It was a very productive meeting and we are compiling minutes which will be emailed out and put on the wiki. We will have a few action items to be voted on at the next general irc meeting which we will add to that agenda. All committee members were present. Very exciting! Also just a reminder, there is a "donate now" button on the main page of http://koha-community.org - every small little amount helps.

Circulation Problem
by Bob Ewart 15 Oct '15

15 Oct '15

We have volunteers on the circulation desk. They are individual/family members of type 'Adult' not 'Staff'. We are currently running 3.18.11 built from the tar ball on openSUSE 13.2. Their permissions are set to: circulate (all) catalogue reserveforothers (all) borrow updatecharges(all) When they go to check out items, they get logged out with a "timeout" error. But the item is checked out! staffaccess permission doesn't make any difference on or off. It work as it should when the borrowers permission is set, but we don't want volunteers to be able to modify patrons. It was working in 3.18.05. -- Bob Ewart

Re: [Koha] Is it possible to use a thesaurus in RDF withing KOHA?
by Eric Bégin 14 Oct '15

Caterina, You are correct, Koha (which is not an acronym, so don't need to capital the whole word) can not import RDF thesaurus yet. However, a script (or even an XSL file) could be written to convert AGROVOC in MARC21 which then could be import in Koha.
