Hello all,

Does somebody use a Z39.50 client server to query for MARC data about books in the Dutch language?

Regards,

Harry

i have found that AMICUS from Canada is quite good, with MARC-21
records from LoC and the British Library system

it does you require that you register (free) every 6 months

Do you find that there's extensive French language content in the
AMICUS records?

We prefer to keep our records relatively "clean", so lots of French
subject headings, etc. would be an issue for us.

no, they have the same records as everyone else.

very English.

but the library i am working with has a miniscule (<2000) number of books

one good thing about AMICUS is that they have taken the British
Library's records which are NOT marc and converted them to marc21 and
made them available via a z39.50 server.

i spoke to the BL and got a beta tester login to their beta z39.50
server which is not open to the public (they are still in the process
of deciding what way they should open it up) but will hopefully be
open by end Q3 this year

my advice would be to use amicus and see how it works out for you ..
spend extra oversight on the amicus records to see if they work right.
but as far as the library i'm working with is concerned, things are
good

I'm using Koha 3.0.0.3 on Suse 11.1 box

How to I setup Koha (or Suse Linux) to use our main Mail server (GroupWise) to send out all generated mails ?

I don't see any settings in Koha System Preferences

Hello,

Savitra, i guess you are suggesting that postfix be installed, configured, and run on the same server as Koha? This option may not always be feasible.

The last time i tried to configure Koha to use a regular SMTP server, i was directed to go fiddle with the code and add some custom configuration. AFAIK, this configuration is not part of Koha's system administration preferences.

i'll try to dig out which specific files are involved, in the meantime, you should find this info in the mailing list archives

regards,
krishnan

Dear all,

I have a problem with renewals. Since we did not manage to import the item
type on our books from the old system, I have not found a way to make all
items renewable. So on our circulation screen, all item will show "too many
renewals". I have then put AllowRenewalLimitOverride ON so that we can still
renew books.

(we don't have a specific number set for how many times you can renew since
we are a boarding school, and everyone has to return all there books while
leaving for holiday every 4 months.)

The override works fine for me who has superlibrarian permissions. But it
does not work for my circulation staff, who I have given the following
permissions:

circulation
catalogue
reserve for others
borrow

I have looked here
http://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.0/patrons/patron-permissions but I
can't figure out what permission I need to give them in order to be able to
override renewals.

Any ideas?

Anna

I could add, that the override renewal box shows when my circulation staff
are logged in, but when they actually click on renew they get the message
that they are an unauthorized user and are asked to login with another user
to continue..
