Koha community adopts code of conduct
by Galen Charlton 25 Sep '14

25 Sep '14

In order to help provide a safe and welcoming environment for all attendees at Koha events, the Koha community has approved [1] a code of conduct and anti-harassment policy [2]. All delegates, attendees, and organizers at Koha events, including the upcoming KohaCon14 in Argentina, are expected to abide by this policy. The organizers of KohaCon14 have taken steps to effectively implement this policy, and specific details of how to seek assistance and report incidents while on site will be forthcoming. The full text of the policy is available on the Koha community website. Please read the policy and disseminate it widely. Although the policy is currently focused on behavior at conference, all participants in communications forums used by the Koha project, including the mailing lists and IRC channel, should abide by it. The code of conduct is expected to be revised as circumstances and our experiences suggest ways of improving it. Suggestions for changes can be made via the general mailing list or by contacting any member of the release team.

Important security update for Linux systems
by Robin Sheat 25 Sep '14

25 Sep '14

This isn't strictly Koha related, but very important to be aware of nonetheless. There's a recently announced vulnerability in bash in Linux which is remotely exploitable. Some references: http://www.csoonline.com/article/2687265/application-security/remote-exploi… http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q3/650 https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2014/msg00220.html I'm not aware of any way that Koha makes this easier to exploit, but I wouldn't be surprised to find that there is one somewhere. So go run your security updates. Also keep an eye on them over the next couple of days, I wouldn't be surprised to find a better-fixed version coming out in the near future. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF

Unexpected behaviour in 942 $h (3.14)
by Elaine Bradtke 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

We're running 3.14.06.000 When editing a catalogue record, we manually type in the contents of the 942$h (call number). This is usually the last thing that is added before saving the record, otherwise we might not have seen what happens next. Just after you hit save and before you are presented with the item record screen a space and numeral 1 appear after the call number. Here it is in a record - the call number should be only "AP" as it is in the 099 field. =LDR 00885nam a22002417a 4500 =001 201409241538.nw =003 UkLoVW =005 20140924154908.0 =008 140924s1760\\\\enkag\\\\\\\\\001\0\eng\d =040 \\$aUkLoVW$beng$cUkLoVW =099 \\$aAP =245 \\$aThe universal magazine of knowledge and pleasure, vol.

We have $6 set to ignore in the framework. To add to the strangeness, the 1 sometimes appears only as you are saving, but does not remain in the MARC after you have saved the record. But sometimes it does. Just as an experiment, I duplicated the above record. The 1 appeared during the save process, but did not appear in the saved duplicated record. What's more, when I try to replicate the problem by creating a new record (either with a Z39.50 download or original cataloguing) it doesn't happen. The cataloguer tells me that it doesn't always happen when he creates records either and that if he's persistent enough he can eventually delete the extra space and 1. I asked him to keep track of the records that have this problem, perhaps with more than one example, we can see a pattern. Has anyone else experienced this? Does it have anything to do with ignoring subfield 6? Because I can't replicate this problem I haven't been able to test it in 3.16 which we're running on our test site.

Re: [Koha] Put Barcodes in Books Without Barcodes Automatically
by indradg 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

Basic question: How do you expect Koha to know which barcode to insert for which item? Indra Sent from Samsung Mobile -------- Original message -------- From: Alyssa Enganio Gono <vhevhangvhakhikhang(a)gmail.com> Date:23/09/2014 13:37 (GMT+05:30) To: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: [Koha] Put Barcodes in Books Without Barcodes Automatically I have already catalog and save 9000 books . To make KOHA fully functional, I was planning to print the barcodes of all the books but I noticed that I forgot to put barcodes on it during cataloging. Now, the problem is, it is very tedious if I will manually edit all the items I'd saved just to put barcodes on it. Is there any functionality built-in within KOHA, that query all books with no barcodes and put barcodes automatically on it? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Put-Barcodes-in-Books-Without-Barcodes-Au… Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

Importing Marc files
by Ian D 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

Hi I am looking at some tutorials on how to export current data from a library database we have and then use markedit to convert into a format for Koha. I am following this guide: http://manual.koha-community.org/3.2/en/marceditexcel.html I initially export the data as a csv and then open with excel and same as a tab separated .txt file. I do marcedit delimited text transfer. Then marcmaker. then I try to upload and get the output. MARC staging results : 0 records in file 0 records not staged because of MARC error 0 records staged Did not check for matches with existing records in catalog 0 item records found and staged I ran marc validator and got results like this: Record #: 1 001 (if defined): 245 (if defined): Errors: One 245 field must be present in a MARC21 record. Record #: 2 001 (if defined): 245 (if defined): Errors: One 245 field must be present in a MARC21 record. I was wondering if there is a template I can use to match my fields? Thanks
