Inventory/ shelf-reading
by Cab Vinton 22 Dec '14

22 Dec '14

Koha's inventory utility is handy but seems to be missing one critical element, namely the ability to flag items out of call number order. The utility also does not generate a downloadable file. This means copying & pasting the results into a spreadsheet & some rather tedious data clean-up to get workable data. Has anyone come up with a streamlined method for using the inventory tool to help identify mis-shelved items? I'm on the verge of getting into writing a macro, but my VBA skills are very rusty & I'm always happy to avoid reinventing the wheel. For what it's worth, we're not looking to get too fine-grained here. We're not too concerned with titles out of order, for example, within an author. We're really looking for authors out of order. Grateful for your thoughts & suggestions. All best, Cab Vinton, Director Plaistow Public Library

Koha 3.18 - Label Creator - Call number volume statement displaying as "0"?
by Craig Butosi 19 Dec '14

19 Dec '14

Hi everyone, Koha: 3.18.1 Ubuntu 12.04 I am attempting to set-up my label template (using Avery 9576 labels), and in doing so I've noticed that all items exported as PDF which have a volume statement in the call number (Koha field: "enumchron") is displaying as "0" rather than the anticipated "v.1, v.2..." etc. (see attached for an example). I have my template set to: Code 39 Biblio And call number fields to print set to 1. itemcallnumber 2. enumchron 3. copynumber Has anyone experienced this? If so, can this be fixed? Many thanks!

Proposal for fund raising for Koha - to discuss/vote at December General Meeting.
by Brendan Gallagher 17 Dec '14

17 Dec '14

Hello All - After discussing with many of you within the Koha project for many years and countless times, I'd like to bring forth the idea of having a fund-raising organization for Koha. It's about time the project raised money to help meet the needs and goals of the community. This idea and concept can only be a strong option with the support and help of many of us in the community. We believe that we have great organization to stand behind this great proposal in Horowhenua Library Trust (HLT) as a non-profit-organization (NPO) to help manage the funds for the Koha community in the most responsible way (For the good of the community). Please read below for some of the ideas and thoughts - and I would like to bring to this to a vote at the next General Meeting on if we should all as a community move forward with creating a Koha-Fund to use towards and only towards Koha. These are just thoughts and ideas and we can all move forward and work on the details and rules and laws etc after we get a "YES LET'S RAISE MONEY HOWEVER WE CAN TO SPEND ON KOHA". http://blog.bigballofwax.co.nz/2014/10/09/kohacon-14-day-3-funding-the-koha… *Organization for Fund raising:* Currently the Koha project generates more patches for enhancements and bugs than the collective community has time to work on. There is a need to raise funds so that more resources can be purchased to accelerate development. All funds that are raised via the project are to be used for improvement in the project. Koha has become a large international free software and open source software project. There are many projects and needs for a project this large. Many of the responsibilities that are needed for the future need to be funded and can not rely on the volunteer hours of the many participants of the project. For example, the current number of patches to be tested far outnumbers the amount of volunteer hours that we as a project are able to put towards that. Also in the future there are many software fixes that need to be completed that need funding, which can not be expected to be led by the users of the project. The current method of development and fixes of the software are led by the funding from the users, I propose that we fundraise from within the community and external to the community for being able to solve many of these large un-met needs. The fund raisin entity should be a non-profit organization so that all donations are not taxed and if possible the donors can have tax-deductions (if that is applicable for your local tax laws). The goal of this fund organization is to gather many many small donations to lead to an effective pool of funds available to support Koha development. Some thoughts so far towards identifying the appropriate fund raising entity is using the Horowhenua Library Trust (HLT) (Which we now have the full support of and Joanne can fill us in more about that). *Governing board:* This new fund should be governed by a board. That board should be made up of volunteers, that are interested to continue/champion fund raising efforts for the Koha project. The most important aspect of any board member would be to introduce new avenues for pursuing donations. Ideally the board would be representatives from all around the world so that board members could lead fund raising efforts in their local regions. This board will also be responsible with managing the funds that are donated, and will look for recommendations from the general meetings in Koha. The board will also be responsible for reporting the status, funds available, and goals of the Fund during each general meeting. *Grants Committee:* The Board will establish a Grants Committee, with the purpose of making decisions about the allocation of funds to advance the work of the Koha project. Members of the Grants Committee may be members of the Board or other persons with suitable qualifications and experience as determined by the Board. The Board will determine a Charter for the Grants Committee that will describe the procedures to be followed to promote efficacy, efficiency, equity and transparency in the allocation of funds. The Board will publish at least annually the details of grants allocated with sufficient detail to ensure transparency. *Goals:* (These can all be adjusted based on recommendations from Koha Community) First goal should be to hire a person to complete sign-offs and only sign-offs for the community development process. Further goals will be decided in time and as funds increase. Board members will decide on future improvements with recommendations from the Koha community general meetings. Another longer term possibility - is that the fund can sponsor some community members for attendance at international conferences/hackfests, students for attending local KohaCons, and sponsoring schools/universities with leading 2 week Koha academy sessions for getting more people interested/involved in the Koha project. *Avenues for Fund Raising:* Donate money now button on the homepage of Koha - and code for that button will be made available for anyone to put that on their own home pages, etc. Reach out to all support companies that are listed on the Koha community website for donations to help seed the fund. Board members from around the world will be responsible for leading local/regional fund raising campaigns Board members will pursue and write grant proposals for alternative fund generation. Think Mellon grants here. This paper is presented to the community for endorsement of the idea, so that we can move forward promptly toward this goal. Let's definitely discuss during the December General Meeting and we can vote then or if the community decides - vote in January. This will only be a vote on YES move forward, NO do not do this (nothing about structure etc.). Regards, Brendan Gallagher, Bob Birchall and Paul Poulain

Disable search in certain Koha search
by Dibyendra Hyoju 16 Dec '14

16 Dec '14

Hi all, I was looking at Koha preferences to disable searching in the certain tag fields of MARC records on OPAC, for instance I was trying to disable searching in 037 tag field, but couldn't find preferences to do that. If there are such preferences, please kindly suggest. Thank you. Regards, Dibyendra Hyoju

Re: [Koha] Adding accession number
by Johnstone Selemani 16 Dec '14

Dear All, Yes. The barcode and accession number are different. Koha is able to add that automatic number called the barcode. But I wanted to add another number called accession number which is assigned to the item when it has been acquired. Johnstone.
