Relevance of purchase suggestion in staff client?
by vinod mishra 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

Dear All, What is the relevance of purchase suggestion module in Koha staff client under Acquisition if one can enter the record from option "new empty record" because purchase suggestion can be only placed by library staff from this module which seems to be irrelevant further if a staff has to enter the suggestion than why he/she can't directly enter through "new empty record" rather than using one more step of "suggestion". Please suggest me where i am wrong ? I feel if there will be an option to select the suggester name in that module (suggestion) than there may be more relevancy . Thanking You. -- *With Regards,Vinod Kumar Mishra,Assistant Librarian,Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL),* *NIT Rourkela,* *Sundergadh-769008,* *Odisha,* *India.* *Mob:91+9439420860* *Website: http://mishravk.com/ <http://mishravk.com/>*

Re: [Koha] Fwd: Converting MARC 21 from AACR2 to RDA
by Paul A 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

On a sort of related point, our cataloguers have recently brought to my attention the "new" RDA "264 - Production, Publication, Distribution, Manufacture, and Copyright Notice" field, which some of the Z39.50 imports appear to be using *instead of* 260 -- they tell me they're seeing it more and more often. 264 does not exist in Default framework (therefore in no others) so they are having to manually copy the data fields. Has anyone looked into this? Any thoughts of how best for Koha to deal with it?

Unicode Barcode / Spine Label Soring Issue
by Via Vitae Solutions 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

Dear All, During customization work we are facing problem to sort (ascending / descending) Barcode / Spine Label those are entered in regional language esp. Bengali, Hindi etc. (in Unicode). Example: For numeric digits - while sorting a series of numbers like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 - it (barcode / spine) generate as ১,১০,১১,১২,১৩,১৪,১৫,২,৩,৪,৫,৬,৭,৮,৯ (1,10,11,12,13,14,15,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) For Alphabetic characters - the characters are not just like A,B,C,D. This are something completely different (for languages like Bengali, Hindi)- like অ,আ,ক,খ etc. Although we are using Unicode compliant keyboard layout such as Bengali Provat India (UTF-8), but this sorting is not working exactly as desired. Please help. -- Via Vitae Solutions Kolkata - 700064 India

Koha LDAP configuration
by deno.karapatakis＠srnl.doe.gov 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

not sure this is the correct list. We've setup Koha 3.20 and would like to configure Koha to use LDAP only for authentication, ie logins (no mapping or attributes). Koha is running on Redhat 6.6 I can successfully query LDAP (Active Directory) using linux command ldapsearch binding to email address however I can not seem to correctly configure koha-conf.xml. I believe I read over all how to's but I continue to get LDAP bind failed as kohauser someUserID: LDAP error #8: LDAP_STRONG_AUTH_REQUIRED server requires authentication be performed with a SASL mechanism via the web login and running opac-user.pl username=someUserID password=someUserIDpassword > junk.txt Other then the ldap statements in koha-conf.xml are there any that would have koha use the ldap.conf file?
