This is being touted as a replacement for MARC Something to keep our eyes on because it could have a major impact on Koha. http://www.loc.gov/bibframe/ -- Elaine Bradtke Data Wrangler VWML English Folk Dance and Song Society | http://www.efdss.org Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 (This number is for the English Folk Dance and Song Society in London, England.

Comment Needed: Renewing of Lost items
by Kyle Hall 30 Jul '14

30 Jul '14

Attention Librarians! We need some input for dealing with Bug 9805 - Lost items are un-lost if returned, but not if renewed. http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9805 The issue is that renewing a lost item does not mark it as found. I filed a patch to correct the issue, but there are concerns about patrons being able to 'un-lose' items by renewing from the OPAC. We have two proposed solutions solutions: 1) Prevent the renewing of lost items 2) Make renewing a lost item marking it as found controlled by a system preference I submitted a patch for the latter solution, but after some thought I and some other developers think the former solution would be best. What do you all think?

Re: [Koha] Report help

I rewrote the report to make it user friendly to my colleagues who aren't familiar with Roman numerals. . . little tweaks like this I can do. It's the syntax and commands that I don't know how to use properly that's the real problem.

Re: [Koha] Subject: SIP2 AF field sent even if patron password is invalid
by BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER 30 Jul '14

30 Jul '14

I have an interesting SIP2 implementation issue. When authenticating through SIP2, if a valid patron id is passed in, but an *invalid* password is passed in, Koha's SIP2 server send back the AF ( screen message ) field even though the credentials are invalid. If a patron owes any fees, the server will send back the amount owed in an AF field. For instance, Overdrive will display this AF field even with an invalid password. Freegal does not ( but it may not display any AF field ). At least one SIP2 machine we tested against will also display the AF field when an invalid password is submitted. Is this a Koha issue, or a client side issue? The SIP2 protocol specification does not indicate that AF fields should be removed in the event of an invalid password. My guess is that some SIP2 server implementations may send back "Invalid password" messages which may be useful. Kyle Kyle, I filed a bug back in April related to this issue. It hasn't been touched yet. http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12126 Christopher

Patron Statistical Records..
by Jerwyn Fernandez 30 Jul '14

30 Jul '14

Good day!.. The idea is to generate a statistical record/report who visited the library on a specific time and date. Basically there is a RFID reader at the entrance of the library or a barcode reader, before library patron enters the library it is a must for them to scan their ID. I have heard some library have done this, integrated with our KOHA system, please instruct me how am I going to implement it to our library. Thank you and best regards, -- *BE AMAZING.

[off-topic] Free Linux course
by Robin Sheat 30 Jul '14

30 Jul '14

I've heard of quite a few people who would like to do more with Koha, but get stuck due to unfamiliarity with Linux. The Linux Foundation is doing a free course that starts in a few days time, called Intro to Linux. Normally this course costs US$2,400. It might be the bit of a jump you need to let you get more out of it.

Barcode Generate Problem
by Jiwan 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

I have two MarC Framework. One is Default and another which I created. I am able to generate a barcode using the default framework but not through the framework I created. I crosschecked the my Marc bibliographic framework with the default one and is almost same (except for few tags). My "advanced constraints" in 952 & P is set to items.barcode which is the same as default. What could be the problem now? Please help -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Barcode-Generate-Problem-tp5806167.html Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Cataloguing boxes?
by MJ Ray 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

Is anyone using Koha to catalogue boxes of articles and circulate them? In the case I've seen, circulating the individual articles is not needed, but there would be a table of contents in the catalogue entry. Periodically, some boxes would be disposed of. I had a bit of a dig through the discussion archives, but most concerns with article management seemed to about cataloguing the articles and linking them together various ways. On IRC, the wonderful gmcharlt and jcamins explained that package-based installations speak marcxml internally now (so the 99999-character MARC record size limit mainly affects binary exports) and analytic cataloguing is another option if that much detail is needed. Dyrcona asked whether 505 tag (where the table of contents would be in MARC21) was searchable, which it is. So, is anyone doing this sort of circulation for real and are there any other problems? Thanks, -- MJ Ray (slef), member of www.software.coop, a for-more-than-profit co-op http://koha-community.org supporter, web and library systems developer.
