Hi, We are very new to Koha and this list. Our librarian is testing things out and reports some problems which you can find in the attached mail. We will be pestering the more experienced members in this list for some time as we are settling down. I thank all of you in advance for the time you will be sparing for us. Looking forward to some suggestions about the following problems. Many thanks in anticipation. Cheers, Suresh S P Suresh Chennai Mathematical Institute India Begin forwarded message:

Hi Suresh, i tried working on KOHA- it shows certain problems..they r listed below * When the MARK records are imported for a book we usually save it by clicking an option "Add bibliographic records and go to items" which takes us to the item frame where we could type the barcode number(ie. acc.no)--which is reflected on the OPAC. now i am unable to make changes..the full item list does not appear and in the opac when the acc.no is typed only the biblio.details reflect leaving the item box empty... u can check this please..(acc.no 3671,3672) * Not able to issue books that are catalouged though the opac shows the existance of the books..while trying to issue Koha says"Issuing impossible-barcode unknown" am not sure if i've gone wrong in importing the details or if the bib.details not saved due to the "item frame".. i would also like to know if there is any way to get the list of books cataloged in a lib. ie the books cataloged in a day/week/ total books cataloged etc.i tried to,but could not find any.. If any suggestion please inform. Saritha
