Vendor records (supplier's contact info) import
by Elaine Bradtke 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

We don't use a jobber or any other sort of centralized system of purchasing. All our subscriptions are done on an individual basis through the publisher. Which means we have a large number of vendors that have to go into the system in order for us to set up subscriptions and track incoming serials, etc. All the relevant information is present in our old database system . I would dearly love to be able to bring it into Koha without having to retype everything. koha/acqui/supplier.pl seems to be what governs this chunk of information. Is there a list somewhere of the relevant tags/fields that we need to map our data to Koha? Has anyone done this sort of thing? -- 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.

by Nora Blake 16 Dec '13

Greetings all, A group of Koha users is planning on hosting a meeting for Koha users based in the United States and Canada. We intend to hold this meeting next year, 2014, sometime during the month of August. We would like to invite proposals from agencies and libraries in the United States to host this meeting. We envision that the meeting would span 2-3 days. Please email your proposals to me, nblake(a)masslibsystem.org. Information in your proposal should include (but does not need to be limited to) the following information: 1. The location and what kind of conference facility would be offered. Confirm that the site would have internet and other technology available to enable presentations and general connectivity. 2. Dates when the meeting could occur at the proposed location. 3. Information about transportation -- the closest airports and train stations and how one could get from these places to the meeting site. 4. Lodging in the area. 5. Anything else we would need to know about the location and what makes it a great choice for this meeting. Please send your proposals to me, Nora Blake, via email, nblake(a)masslibsystem.org by Wednesday, January 15, 2014. If we receive multiple proposals we will set up a method for potential attendees to vote on the preferred meeting location.

Hello All， This is Junyu from China,We have encountered a messy code problem with Patron Cards Export,when we use tools export function to export a patch patron ; We got the messy PDF file,because we have some Chinese code inside,like username and branch,I have do deep check about PDF::Reuse module in perl,it used to create the exported PDF file, the module allow us only use about 14 fonts like "Times-Roman, Times-Bold, Times-Italic, Times-BoldItalic, Courier, Courier-Bold, Courier-Oblique, Courier-BoldOblique, Helvetica, Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica-Oblique, Helvetica-BoldOblique ",but all of this font does not support Chinese character,so the module should call system fonts to create the PDF file,it did not yet. Does any body have good suggestion? this really Confused me,I have spend half month on this,and it is import for us. feel free to let me know if you have any idea.
