Importing books from a csv file, including bar codes
by magmatic 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

I'm trying to import books into Koha. We have a few thousand books with bar code stickers stuck onto them and we don't want to change them. If I got a csv file with the authors, titles, and bar codes, how can I import this? I looked around at how to set the bar code of a book in Koha, but I couldn't find it. It doesn't look like it is a part of MARC. And since it is not a part of MARC, I can't really just import a MARC file, can I? Help! -- Tim -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Importing-books-from-a-csv-file-including… Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

OT: Looking for Dynix Classic Recall help
by Jim Maroon 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

Hi. Sorry for this interruption, but I desperately need help with a Recall report on our old Dynix Classic server. It has to do with fines, lost items, and such. These didn't migrate to Koha very well and I need to dig around in Dynix to find some information. Unfortunately, reports dealing with patrons and fines and such in Dynix were never my strong suit. So, a shot in the dark... if there is someone who can help, please respond to me off-list. My email is storypage(a)yahoo.com Thanks! Jim Maroon

Notices Documentation Question
by Nicole Engard 29 Oct '13

29 Oct '13

Hello all, Up til now I thought (and I forget who told me thing) that all notices with the exception of the overdues needed to have the <<items.content>> notation to show the items the notice was talking about. Today I learned that this isn't true for the check out digest - and maybe others. Instead you need this notation: ---- "<<biblio.title>>" </b> by <<biblio.author>> (<<items.itype>>). Due Date: <<issues.date_due>> ---- The dashes included ... so what I need to know is what notices need to be like this and what use items.content and which use the <item> </item> tags? Thanks Nicole

Hello Mr. Maileseni. First of all you should create a requirements specification of your consortial needs. Initially we didn't make a proper specification about what we really need and what we could agree to on a political scale to unify our processes. And we got to pay a lot for that. So set your targets straight first and be ready to make compromises. It is way easier for us to help you if you can provide a list of requirements in english. Sincerely yours...

Could you be a bit more specific? I administer Koha for a 32 member library consortium and each library has different loan periods and fine structures as well as patron categories unique to some members. Koha handles this quite well. Koha also allows for different overdue messaging preferences and checkout slip configurations for member libraries.
