Hello, I was wondering if someone out there using KOHA could help me? Our consortium is Southeast Kansas Library System SEKnFIND we use KOHA. Is there any possible way to empty out the biblios in the reservoir? Do the staged MARC records need to remain or is there any way to clean them out. When we bring on new libraries we are getting records in that have no items attatched to them and are just sitting there. These records were suppose to remain only in the reservoir but came on in anyway. We would like to get rid of those records in our catalog. I'm not sure how to do that. Thank you Kim Burns Kim Burns 218 E. Madison SEK Library System Iola, KS. (620)365-5136 catalogcat@yahoo.com
We had to pay our vendor for database maintenance time to empty the biblio reservoir. I believe your vendor is the same as our vendor, so I would request a quote for the work. Liz Rea NEKLS On Oct 20, 2009, at 3:24 PM, Kim Burns wrote:

Or you can wait for 3.2 - I believe there is a patch for that :) Nicole On Tue, Oct 20, 2009 at 5:41 PM, Liz Rea <lrea@nekls.org> wrote:

Ah yeah - that's one of the key things I promote when I teach open source - that the data is yours!! Unlike with the proprietary options where you can't get anything out. As for the new code - it has been in Koha's HEAD version for a while now - I can't remember the patch number or who wrote it - but see attached - it's a simple tool that lets you clean our the reservoir for free.

It also would be worth asking your vendor for access to your database, it is after all your data.

Galen did it http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=commit;h=ae5b76c89b8a61ad825... And yep, it works just fine. Chris

Having no clue how git works, I'm not clear on which version of Koha this new patch has been applied to. We have v. 3.0100032, but this feature seems to be missing. Thanks, Cab Vinton Sanbornton Public Library
You're pretty behind the times - the most recent version of HEAD is 3.01.00.058 Nicole On Wed, Oct 21, 2009 at 10:25 AM, Cab Vinton <bibliwho@gmail.com> wrote:

You're not wrong :) On a project migrating from a proprietary database to Koha, we had to scrape the web pages on the old system (one for each biblio) to get the data. But Koha prevailed in the end. cheers rickw -- _________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services "A Ministry of Defence guide to preventing information leaking into the public domain has leaked into the public domain."
HOLY COW!!! That is totally insane - and now I have a new story to share at my open source talks - NONSENSE!! It's your data!! - okay rant over :) Nicole On Tue, Oct 20, 2009 at 9:44 PM, Rick Welykochy <rick@praxis.com.au> wrote:
