Auto Unsuspend
by magmatic 23 Aug '14

23 Aug '14

We have Koha set up so that if someone hasn't returned a book in 30 days, their account gets suspended. But we have noticed that some accounts are still suspended even though they don't have any overdue books. Maybe when a book gets returned, the account doesn't get automatically unsuspended? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks. -- Tim -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Auto-Unsuspend-tp5809204.html Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I am entering the data of our Serials in Koha. I have some questions. 1) If a entered USI Journal (Quarterly). then how can I do the article indexing of USI Journal in koha. ex. if Jan-April has 7 articles then where should I entered the title of these 7 articles in Koha. 2) If my user is searching for specific article then OPAC should show the Name of Journal, Issue and article title.

Circulation anomalies
by Mesfin Teshome 22 Aug '14

22 Aug '14

Dear all, I am facing a strange problem. I am a system/network admin and our librarians at the University are saying Koha is reporting no checked out items for people who have checked out books, or displays 1 or 2 checked out items while there are many books checked out. The librarians claim they have not done anything with the circulation. When I check the circulation history and modification logs at the Patrons profile, the logs show that the books have either been returned or issued but the librarians swore they have not done that and that the system is doing that by itself. I have tried to look at the Koha-error_log, I see this error message returns.pl: Use of uninitialized value in hash element at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/circ/returns.pl line 413, <DATA> line 522., referer: http://$libraryurl$/cgi-bin/koha/circ/returns.pl Is this related to the problem? Where can I start troubleshooting the problem? The librarians are very worried because bad record with circulation could mean loss of books and they are convinced it is a system problem. We are running Koha version: 3.12.00.000 I will really appreciate your response. Kind regards, Mesfin

EBSCOHost and Koha? Is anyone using/integrating both?
by Hartman, David W. - Tech Library 21 Aug '14

21 Aug '14

I am considering going with EBSCO Host ... I have a few questions if anyone can answer. 1. DOES THIS MAKE SENSE: If I make EBSCOHost my main OPAC system; I can input Safari MARC records into EBSCOHost. I would only have my print book resources in Koha (and would upload them to EBSCOHost) so all resources are in EBSCOHost. 2. CAN KOHA AND EBSCOHOST BE SYNCED: I would use Koha to track all physical resources. In EBSCOHost they will show available (unless I can sync the two). 3. CAN THIS BE DONE: To do so, I would need to purge/cleanup my Koha database to only include records and items that have a barcode. Is this easy to do? What kind of algorithm would I need to save just those records (and their items). Can you help me with that? David W. Hartman WDP&R Technology Library Team Disney 336N

introduction
by Daniel Owens 21 Aug '14

21 Aug '14

Hi, my name is Daniel Owens. I am a teacher at Hanoi Bible College in Vietnam, and organizing our fledgling library has fallen to me. My training is in biblical theology, but I enjoy computers (especially discovering fantastic new FOSS applications to make my life easier) and books, so this task presents a fun new challenge. I chose Koha in part because it has been localized in Vietnamese and there are some people already using it in Vietnam. The more I get into Koha, the more I see the possibilities it creates for collaboration between schools in Vietnam, so I am excited.

Koha manual branched
by Nicole Engard 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

I have branched the Koha manual so that master is now the working manual for 3.18 and 3.16 has it's own branch ( http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=kohadocs.git;a=summary) I believe that the translators will have to do some work on http://es.koha-community.org/manual/ to adjust accordingly and generate the PDFs properly for these 2 branches. Let me know when that's done and I'll update the manual links on the Koha site. Thanks Nicole
