Unique Barcodes across branches
by Jeramey Valley 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

Looking more for confirmation here.... Multiple "independent" branches still require unique barcodes for each item, correct? I was under the incorrect assumption that there would be behind-the-scenes magic that would tie barcodes to their home library/location and so there could be the same barcode in use at multiple branches, each for a different item. As in: Library 400 Book A, barcode 2001 Library 500 Book B, barcode 2001 I was looking forward to having one install with a shared catalog, patron database and other "one stop management" functions. -- Regards, Jeramey Valley Network Manager, Bullock Creek Schools valleyj(a)bcreek.org

Data Conversion from Libsys to Excel for Koha, Newgenlib, Evergreen etc.
by Vinod Kumar Mishra 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

Dear All, The following are the General steps to get your libsys data in excel format for final conversion into Marc format to switching into other ILMS software. Please note that there are several other tips and tricks which you can use to convert your libsys data in excel, so that you can migrate in some other desired software like Koha, Newgenlib, Evergreen etc. The reports module given under Cataloging/Circulation/Serial of Libsys software can be used to get the data in Excel format. In-case you are not getting subject heading than it can be added at the time of excel data conversion as well as you can also group together all the same titles, but you should have at least ISBN/ISSN number in your records. Marc editor (http://marcedit.reeset.net/downloads ) is wonderful software which not only converts your data in marc format but it also gives you opportunity to make your data standard before importing in new ILMS. In case of any help needed in this regard please feel free to contact. We have implemented the Koha software at various libraries and found Libsys is the only software which does not have option/permit to export the data in Marc format however this have option to Import in any format (It allow you to come inside the room but does not allow you easily to go out side the room)!!! . The link of the help file is given below: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2Cmcc6xutSgWFFHWnV0TjVlYUk/view?usp=shari… I hope my colleague Mr. DP Tripathi may make good video on this for sharing. Thanking You With regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library, NIT Rourkela, Mob:91+9439420860 91+6612462103 (O) email: vinod_librarian(a)rediffmail.com : mishravk79(a)gmail.com

Saving a new item type
by Paul A 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

I'm looking for some help please having come up against a brick wall. We defined a new "Item Type" "Files and Binders" code 'FB', made a new Framework structure, and entered a few biblios/items to verify it. Appears to work, see <http://opac.navalmarinearchive.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-MARCdetail.pl?biblionu…> where both the 942$c and 952$y are _correctly_ showing 'Files and Binders' However, we use a script that needs $itemtype and which works perfectly for all item types _except_ this new one. So I looked into the MySQL side of things, and the new 'FB' is _not_ getting saved: mysql> SELECT itemtype from biblioitems Group by itemtype; +----------+ | itemtype | +----------+ | NULL | | AU | | BK | | CM | | CR | | HB | | VI | | VM | +----------+ 8 rows in set (0.00 sec) and mysql> SELECT ExtractValue(marcxml,'//datafield[@tag="952"]/subfield[@code>="y"]') AS itemt FROM biblioitems HAVING itemt REGEXP 'FB'; Empty set (0.59 sec) "Test MARC biblioframework" is good. All other cataloguing is fine. I must be doing something wrong or making a basic mistake that I just can't see. Help or suggestions on adding a new "itemtype" would be warmly welcomed. Thanks -- Paul

Can't get jquery scripts to work in koha
by Marty Jongepier 18 Oct '14

18 Oct '14

Hi all, I tried to get a jquery to work in koha 3.16.04.000, using iceweasel with iced-tea web plugin. Since i am new to jquery, I tried two existing jquery scripts, I copied and pasted from here; http://www.mydk-tomic.net/?q=node/17, which should be a script that gives me 3 different words in the advanced search page, instead of 3 times keyword, I want title, author and subject, or whatever else I choose . Apparently this script should do it; $(document).ready(function(){ $("#booleansearch option:eq(0)[value='ti']").attr('selected','selected');$("#booleansearch option:eq(1)[value='au,wrdl']").attr('selected','selected');$("#booleansearch option:eq(2)[value='su,wrdl']").attr('selected','selected');}); I pasted that in the intranetuserjs system preference, and behold; nothing is happening. I still get keyword, keyword, keyword. So I tried something else, and found in the koha jquery library a script by Nicole C. Engard (and I am convinced she KNOWS what she is doing) to change the text of the OPAC login form. I pasted that into the opacuserjs system preference, and that did not do anything either. Just for reference, I pasted that in here as well (see end of message). So, what do I do wrong? Did I miss a setting, is there a kind of main switch preference for turning jquery on or off? Thanks! Marty $(document).ready(function(){ $("#auth legend:contains('Log in to your account')").text("Log in to your library account"); $("#auth label[for='userid']").html("Library Card Number:"); $("#auth label[for='password']").html("PIN:");});
