EBSCOHost and Koha? Is anyone using/integrating both?
I am considering going with EBSCO Host ... I have a few questions if anyone can answer. 1. DOES THIS MAKE SENSE: If I make EBSCOHost my main OPAC system; I can input Safari MARC records into EBSCOHost. I would only have my print book resources in Koha (and would upload them to EBSCOHost) so all resources are in EBSCOHost. 2. CAN KOHA AND EBSCOHOST BE SYNCED: I would use Koha to track all physical resources. In EBSCOHost they will show available (unless I can sync the two). 3. CAN THIS BE DONE: To do so, I would need to purge/cleanup my Koha database to only include records and items that have a barcode. Is this easy to do? What kind of algorithm would I need to save just those records (and their items). Can you help me with that? David W. Hartman WDP&R Technology Library Team Disney 336N
I Want that integration too but looking to download EBSCO Marc records and import them to Koha as a digital collection. http://discovery.ebsco.com/pulse/article/first-eds-api-plugin-for-koha-now-l... https://github.com/ebsco/edsapi-koha-plugin http://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/api/koha/ Saludos, FAOA ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. -- Este correo electronico puede contener informacion confidencial y privilegiada, por lo que se prohibe el uso, reproduccion, retransmision o divulgacion no autorizada, parcial o total, de su contenido.

Kia ora, This may address more general interest in using Koha to search across other databases (in this case using the Ebsco EDS Api). You can read a story from NIWA who worked with Ebsco and Catalyst to create and implement the EDS api, here: http://koha-community.org/koha-community-newsletter-april-2014/#ebsco Since NIWA's implementation, a few other libraries have followed, and expanded on this. The Department of Corrections in NZ sponsored a new feature so the OPAC search box can be customisable, see: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12296 This allowed the library to have their desired view of the search box - a two-tabbed search box. One tab to search "discovery" (Ebsco+Koha) and another for Koha Catalogue only search. Perhaps I'll do a little news item with screen shots sometime.
