Re: [Koha] Koha on virtual machine?
by Scott Owen 04 Aug '14

04 Aug '14

I don't know about running it from a MAC ?? But... I've run our koha install for an elementary library ( http://koha.almaschools.net/) as a VM off an ESXi box for two/three years now...no issues at all, very low usage. VM is a Debian install w/512 meg RAM allocated..... :-) runs like a champ.

Generated barcode vs. label creator
by L. Jennings Rancourt 04 Aug '14

04 Aug '14

Hello, I am creating a new library for our local charter school and I am having a bear of a time. I would like Koha to generate barcodes as I catalog and then print labels from the label creator. I have set the appropriate option in the admin and the barcode generates in the item record, but I cannot, for the life of me, get it to then print via the label creator. In fact, it doesn't seem to be pulling any information at all. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you, Lichen ps. Please email me directly, for some reason I do not get list updates. -- ~ ad deum qui laetificat juventutem meam ~ L.

Re: [Koha] Data Migration, TLC to Koha

This is true, but there is far more data than just the bibliographic data. That is always the easiest bit. There is circulation, patrons, fines, acquisitions etc etc. It is a non trivial task, however it is certainly possible to do it yourself given enough time. >Please >see the link below, if you don't mind may i know how much they quote >and your data size/record? I imagine the quotes will have been provided as commercial in confidence. And as such sharing them without permission is not a good look. Collection size is actually pretty immaterial to how long a migration will take. Getting the data out in a good format is the hardest but and whether it's 1000 or 100000 it takes about the same time.

Overdue report/count at year-end
by Steven Nickerson 03 Aug '14

03 Aug '14

Hello everyone, We have implemented one of the overdue reports from the Report Library and that gives us a snapshot of the overdue count at the point in time when the report is run, but is there any way to get a count (by month, for example) of the number of items that were overdue throughout a year? Thanks! Steve

Bulk Print Patron Summaries
by Riley Childs 02 Aug '14

02 Aug '14

Is there a way to print patron summaries in bulk? We want to be able to run a report to show all patron accounts with overdues and then print their patron summaries in bulk. Is there as simple way to do this, or will we have to run a report for overdues and then export summaries manually.

Data Migration, TLC to Koha
by Ronn Raszetnik 01 Aug '14

01 Aug '14

Hi everyone, I am new to the list here. I am an electronic resources librarian at an independent public library in Florida. We are interested in migrating from our current self-hosted TLC system to Koha. Quotes we have received from vendors are higher than we had hoped, mainly because of hefty migration fees. Is it realistic to think we could do the migration ourselves? I installed Koha on an old server that we have, and it seems simple enough to use. Honestly, I don't think we need training or ongoing support, but the data migration (bib, patron, fine records) makes me a bit uneasy. I can work my way around Linux a bit, but I am not a database expert. Does anyone have experience migrating from TLC to Koha? What is involved? Thanks, Ronn
