Modifications log and privacy
by Jerry Carbone 11 Jul '14

11 Jul '14

We are a 6 member consortium running Koha 3.14.5. In the State of Vermont we have a robust library record protection statute and all libraries have policies regarding retention of personally identifiable information. Do other libraries have concerns regarding the modification log that keeps links to item that patrons have checked out? The anonymizer cron job is running and links to the item record and patron are broken. Welcome any and all replies, especially from libraries that may have work-arounds to this situation in protecting patron reader privacy. Thanks Jerry Carbone, Library Director Brooks Memorial Library 224 Main St. Brattleboro, VT 05301 802-254-5290, ext 101 802-251-8195

Barcode bug - barcode scanning fails
by Phillip Ponchot 11 Jul '14

11 Jul '14

I've got a major problem in that the barcode reader reads a book on checkout or checkin but fails to do either. The checkin or checkout can be entered by hand and the book will checkin or checkout. Of course this forces extra work on the circulation desk. As I can tell, the closest bug is 11292 and I have seen this issue mentioned intermittently on the web. Is there a patch or fix for this barcode reader issue and how do I get it? Thanks for any info. Phillip

Koha search error
by Dibyendra Hyoju 10 Jul '14

10 Jul '14

Hi all, Just recently after upgrading the Koha from 3.14 to 3.16 we have been facing following problem when certain keywords are used during the search like: account, business, accounting, financial, financial accounting, etc. Earlier there were no such problems. But when I search other keywords apart from the mentioned keywords, there are no problems. Has anyone faced this kind of problem and found a solutions already? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Software error: Can't call method "as_string" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Koha.pm line 1608. Regards, Dibyendra Hyoju
