Configuring reserve books for overnight borrowing
by amutsikiwa＠uzlib.uz.ac.zw 19 May '14

19 May '14

Hi I have reserve books that are loaned to patrons for 2 hours before 15:00 , thereafter they are borrowed for overnight and becoming due the following morning at 09:00. How can I configure that. Does Koha have the concept of opening and closing time for library? How is Koha's Library day defined?

How to fix a corrupted database
by Phillip Ponchot 18 May '14

18 May '14

I'm running a very old version of Koha 3.0 and have had no problem backing up the database until now. Whenever I try to dump the Koha database, I get an error 2013 - can't connect to mysql server. There is a table and line number that is given showing that the dump of biblioitems dropped at a specific record number i.e 35432. This happens also if I try to run a dump via the command line. This happens every time I try at the same record. Once the 2013 error occurs, no more processing happens including backing up subsequent tables in the Koha database. I've tried to run a repair on this table but the repair apparently is not supported on this engine (mysql). I tried this via mysql and mysqlcheck. Since I have been able to run a query to find out what the record is, I'm hoping that the cataloger will be able to delete this record and reenter it correctly. Hopefully this is the only record in question. My question is: is there any tool to repair the table that will work. I've also tried to modify the my.cnf to lengthen the wait time and write time (since this can also create a 2013 error) but this did not resolve the issue. Thanks for any info or suggestions. Phillip

MARC 21 522 Geographic Coverage field display constant
by Elaine Bradtke 12 May '14

12 May '14

According to this: http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd522.html in the 522 field a blank first indicator should result in the display constant "Geographic coverage" But it doesn't seem to work in Koha (3.14.06) The contents of the field display, but not the phrase "Geographic coverage". We're testing out another import, and geographic coverage is an important part of this batch of records. I can add that statement in, pre upload, but was hoping the field would just do the right thing. Any thoughts? Other display constants in fields such as 785 seem to work fine. I didn't see a bug filed for this. -- 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.
