08 Mar '15

Kudos to Koha community. I like to introduce myself as Dr.B.Ravivenkat , working as Deputy Librarian in TumkurUniversity, Karnataka India. I have nearly 18 years of experience in administrationof library. Starting as apprentice, library asst, Documentation asst, Asst. Librarian,Librarian in college library and Deputy Librarian in University Library. I started learning automation activities by using CDS/ISIS, Inbuilt library softwares in institutions. but I exposed to the Koha in the University Library. >From the beginning I had some fascination for this open source compared to other may be due to its universal appeal. At present as an administrator I have completed the task of bibliographic record entry. Circulation module been used to full extent. further the library is going to use the Software to maximum extent and make the koha as software to be used in our University jursidiction(degree colleges and community colleges) I like to learn new things and to retain koha as indispensable in future development of library activities. -- *Dr. B.

Intro, and req for help :)
by Richard Fernandez 08 Mar '15

08 Mar '15

Hello all, I am a Unix admin and Perl programmer by trade, but know very little about library science :) I have a friend who has built a community library in Ethiopia, and I have volunteered to help with the catalog. So far I've installed Debian Linux and Koha 3.18 and done the basic configs of adding a library, and a "superlibrarian", but now I'm stuck with an XL spreadsheet of ~10K books which I have to import. I've written a script that will throw all my ISBNs against Worldcat's Classify, but that returns MARCXML which, I guess, I would have to translate into MARC21. Is this the best way? Am I barking up the wrong tree? I've found documents that walk you through manually querying with one ISBN and then manually importing into Koha, but I need to automate this as much as possible for bulk queries/imports. Has anyone done this?

Koha 3.18 Manual Feedback
by Nicole Engard 06 Mar '15

06 Mar '15

Hello all, I have finally "finished" the 3.18 manual and am looking for feedback. http://manual.koha-community.org/3.18/en/ It took me a lot longer than normal due to life issues, so I'd love to hear from you all if you think something is missing or not documented right. When I say "finished" I mean that I think I have all the new features documented - I will keep updating it as I get feedback. I will branch this manual soon and start on the 3.20 manual. Nicole

Koha ILS Driver for Vufind
by Olugbenga Adara 05 Mar '15

05 Mar '15

Hello all, I am hoping someone who has gotten Vufind and Koha working together can help me with this. I recently installed Vufind 2.3.1 and Koha 3.18.3 on Debian 7. I have configured Vufind and successfully imported the records from Koha into Vufind. However, I can't get Vufind to use Koha to authenticate patrons. I can see the status of Koha items update in Vufind searches, so I know Vufind can connect to the Koha database. The problem seems to be the password encryption used in the Koha ILS driver and the encryption used for passwords in the current Koha version. The Vufind Koha driver still uses MD5 while I have been informed that current Koha uses BCRYPT. Can anyone provide me with the Koha driver for Vufind or point me towards how I can update the driver to successfully authenticate with current Koha version? Thanks for your help. -- Olugbenga Adara
