Export results in txt
by Hugo Agud 22 Jan '15

22 Jan '15

Dear all For a long time we think that Koha missed the option to download records in ISBD or label marc to a txt file locally, for unexperienced users. More experienced users may use Zotero with firefox that works fineit is also possible to send the basket by mail, but still you need to send, receive, copy & paste and just some fields are published, , but I think it is not enough for our less experienced users, the question is, is there any development on this way? *If not we can discuss to sponso*r this development if nothing is on the pipe line right now THIS IS A SAMPLE EXPORT FROM MILLENIUM, it saves the result in txt locally Registre 1 de 50 LOCALITZ Biblioteca de Catalunya AUTOR Stevens, Christine, 1964- TÍTOL La Música como medicina : la curación a través del sonido / Christine Stevens ; [traducción : Alicia Sánchez Millet] INFO PUBL Argentina ; España [etc.] : Urano, 2014.

USER's GUIDE FOR LIBRARY PATRONS/CLIENTS
by CHRP Library 22 Jan '15

22 Jan '15

Hi everyone, I would like to ask if there is a brochure or a user's guide that can help us librarians to introduce the KOHA ILS to our users? As a librarian i think it is also important to have that in the library so our clients will have an overview of the system. It will serve as a guide on how they can register and use its full features to their advantage. Please send me a copy if we already have so I can print it and distribute to our library users. Thank you very much. Rochelle Palaña Basto Librarian I Commission on Human Rights of the Philippines

Importing Authority data
by Rivikantha Herath 22 Jan '15

22 Jan '15

Dear all, My name is Rivikantha and I work as a computer programmer inUniversity of Peradeniya main library. We are in the process of implementing Koha as our integrated library managementsystem. Currently we have imported datafrom the current library management system to Koha via a marc file and all thebibliographic data seems to be in order. I can search a book and all the dataseems to have imported successfully. But authority data such as Author Name has not beenimported. I cannot search authorities which results in 0 results. · Does I have to import authority data separately orhas the marc import process has a failure. · If so what is the procedure to import authoritydata from the current system.· Is there a way to generate authority data frombibliographic data. I am currently facing this problem and our data migrationprocess has come to a complete stop. We have to make the system live by april.So any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Rivikantha Computer Programmer.

by Edward Connor 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

Good morning (very early morning for you), I came across a forum post where you mentioned you had AutoSend setup for PowerSchool to transmit data to SNAP. If you happen to get a free moment and are still in the position would you be able to send me any setup info you have with for the AutoSend or screenshots perhaps. I'd be happy to offer an edible arrangement or the South Pacific equivalent. Best, Edward Connor Alton Central School IT Admin

by Hugo Agud 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

Dear all I am not sure If I am doing will sending this mail to this list, but I think It can be useful for the Koha community. I have already received a new about a new project called 'Aliada' it is an open source software that it is being developed to publish ILS content as Linked Data. Linked Data is something that is has been raised several times regarding Koha and Open Linked Data and perhaps this could be interesting. Here you have a link to a power point presentation: http://www.aliada-project.eu/sites/default/files/Artium_VIIEncuentros.pdf.p… Here you have a link to the project: http://www.aliada-project.eu/ I hope you enjoy Kindest Regards Hugo Agud -- *Hugo Agud - Orex Digital * *www.orex.es <http://www.orex.es>* Director Passatge de la Llançadera, 3 · 08338 Premià de Dalt - Tel: 93 539 40 70 hagud(a)orex.es · http://www.orex.es/ No imprima este mensaje a no ser que sea necesario.

advanced search in staff mode
by John Harrison 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

Is it possible for the "tags" in the 'advanced search - search for' in the staff mode to be MARC tags instead of English descriptions, i.e. 700 or 710 instead of added entry - personal name ( or "author as phrase"), or added entry - corporate name. I am thinking staff (librarians and catalogers who should know MARC) might find this a little more accurate. John Harrison SAR Library volunteer

Displaying Arabic script in KOHA
by Jesse Lambertson 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

I just submitted a question recently regarding MARC and display to AUTOCAT and the response I got prompted a Koha-specific question: I know that Koha is being translated into use for more and more languages to handle non-latin language/scripts. Good news! My question is: What is the default Koha display of Arabic script? I mean, as I start to catalogue my collection, following the 880 MARC rules for linking "alternative" script, what will that display look like (in this case Arabic)? I have seen examples of displays with romanized text followed by the Arabic script in the same field, but am not finding any examples of corresponding fields displaying that same script separately. Is this a matter of local cataloguing practice or the defaults in the ILS itself? Thanks in advance, Jesse -- Jesse A Lambertson Librarian Sultan Qaboos Cultural Center 1100 16th St, NW Washington, DC 20036 Ph: (202)-677-3967 Ext. 104 jlambertson(a)sqcc.org

Acquisition Help
by Jack Morash 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

Afternoon Everyone, In our library, we receive a lot of donated books. To better track where they came from, I started using the Acquisition portion of Koha. Apparently we are doing something wrong because we cannot seem to receive the books after they have been put into an order. We use a Vendor named Donations and have Baskets using the donors name. We add the books to a basket using External Source (Z39) and use a $0 for Vendor Price. After 1 to multiple items are added to the Basket, we go back around to the Vendor and Receive Shipments. You are then asked to put in the Invoice number which we use a date code. When you go to the next step there are no items to receive. The above process worked once for one Basket but will not work for other Baskets. I’ve tried deleting and re-creating both orders and Baskets to no avail. We are running Version 3.16.04 Amazon ec2 server instance OS is Ubuntu flavored Any help would be appreciated. Jack Morash South Bay Historical Railroad Society
