Thanks Rob, that worked like a charm. It turns out I actually had that information, but I didn't realize I had it until I read your explanation of it. *sigh* Another slope up in the learning curve. And sometimes I feel like a very slow pup.

Hi Fred, If you used the Windows install package, it uses the Windows hosts file on the machine where you install Koha to provide name resolution for the Intranet interface. To access the intranet interface from other workstations, you can either add a record to your DNS server, or modify the hosts file on those workstations. See my previous post at http://www.nabble.com/Direct-URL-to-Intranet-tf4252150.html#a12102548for instructions on how to do this.

Hi Meiling,
The cataloging client was developed by LibLime as part of the Google Summer of Code, last summer, and subsequently we have been working toward a 1.0 release of that software, which we're calling 'Biblios'. It's in beta testing right now, and in fact, you can trial it on the LibLime Koha 3 demo at koha.liblime.com (Click on the Biblios link). It's a separate project from koha because it's functionally distinct enough to be a standalone application.
How this relates to Koha is that we have written plugins between Koha and Biblios to allow Biblios to not only retrieve records from Koha, but also save them directly to Koha either one at a time, or in batch.
The demo is somewhat limited, but should give you a sense of the basic functionality.
Hope that's helpful.
Cheers,

A new professional cataloging client was mentioned in the Koha
3.0Roadmap ( http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:roadmap3.0#cataloging). Now that Koha 3 Beta is released, is the new cataloging client available yet? If yes, where and how can we find it? Thanks.

Dominc -- Koha is equipped to handle MARC records, the standard format for library collection data. It doesn't sounds like exporting MARC is a possibility for your spreadsheet data. You can approach this two ways: 1. As a chance to establish fuller catalog records, or 2. As just another hurdle to bypass. Unsurprisingly, I recommend the former. The availability of a more complete and more formal record will affect the quality of search results and the linking of external data (like book jacket images). If you have available funds, you could acquire MARC records en masse from a vendor like Follett. Or if you have time, you could start pulling records from publicly available z3950 servers. Some small libraries will migrate to an ILS slowly, just putting in any newly acquired items, and cataloging old items as they have time. It's easy enough for them to tell which system to use (by the new barcode, for example). I actually don't know how you would bypass using MARC at some level. Even if you wanted import directly to mysql, one of the fields is for the MARC record, and it gets used regularly by the rest of the system. Maybe someone else can speak to that. --Joe Atzgberger Systems Administrator, LibLime On Thu, Mar 27, 2008 at 6:33 AM, dominic Anyanna <dominic.anyanna@gmail.com> wrote:

There is a freeware Windows MARC editor called MarcEdit (http://oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/html/index.php) that has a function to convert a delimited text file to MARC format. You could save your spreadsheet as tab-delimited text or CSV, then use MarcEdit to create a file that you can import into Koha.
