Re: [Fwd: Re: [Koha] Koha Documentation Project]
Salvete! Here's what's in our server. The components were bought in February, and I bought one of the harddrives just yesterday for easy backup. It's overpowered, which is how I like it. They were bought from AllStarShop.com, I like those folks a lot. They are an eense more expensive than NewEgg, but NewEgg will not deal with government folks on a PO basis. Intel Pentium 4 2.66GHz 533MHz FSB w/ 512KB Kingston 1GB KIT DDR400 PC3200 CL3 (3-3-3) DIMM Codegen CAT-3307-CA Mid/Mini Tower ATX 350W PSU 2 ENERMAX 80mm Adjustable Speed Case Fans Mitsumi 1.44MB 3.5" Internal Floppy Drive Silver (This I bought because Hinsdale still has many things on 3.5" format. It had nothing to do with Koha) Samsung 52x32x52 Internal CD-RW Drive ATAPI 2 Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 80GB 7200RPM 8MB Buffer SATA HDD (Drive Only) Asus P4P800 i865PE P4 ATX Audio/GbLAN/SATA/RAID/AGP8X This set up minus one hard drive was 675 then. It's probably WAY cheaper now, although you could get much better stuff for the same price now.
Any ideas on some sort of other name for the Breeding Farm? It seems to cause confusion, for one, and I had have a longtime sneaking suspicion it doesn't work well when translated.
How about temporary records? BTW, how does one get all of the breeding farm out? IE copy then delete? Brooke @ Hinsdale

"Temporary records" is a term I hadn't considered, simply because of my past experience with a commercial ILS which used this term for items that were temporarily added to the regular catalog -- like InterLibrary Loan items or magazines. (We had a stack of "temporary item" barcodes on cards which we clipped to the item at circulation time. When the item was returned, the temporary item record was automatically deleted from the catalog.) But Koha has no such capability, of course, and maybe I happened to hit the one commercial ILS system in the whole world that does have this capability! Has anyone else had the same experience? Does anyone have any thoughts about "breeding farm" vs. "import repository" vs. "temporary records?" -- Stephen Hedges Skemotah Solutions, USA www.skemotah.com -- shedges@skemotah.com

Of those three, I prefer "import repository" or a simpler similar term like "import store". I am not a librarian, so I've been quiet so far. The programmer in me wants to label it "preloaded bibliographies" or "holding area" but they're probably no better than "breeding farm". -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and not of any group I know Creative copyleft computing - http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ LinuxExpo.org.uk village 6+7 Oct http://www.affs.org.uk

We do this in our current system. Scan the barcode on the card and it pops up with an uncataloged item dialog with one input box. We type the title and where the book came from. It's out of the system when it's checked back in. How do you deal with this now that you're using Koha? -- Tim McMahon Technical Services West Liberty Public Library http://www.wlpl.org
