Hi!

I just tested this with the latest code from git, and it's working there:

http://head.bibkat.no/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=2

Status: Checked out to 23529001000463 Edna Acosta

I don't know what could be hiding the name in your case, anyone else

have a clue?

Regards,

Magnus

Hi, Lenora et al!

I am very interested in an ILL module too - having worked as an ILL

librarian for several years it's one of the very few things that stand

out as "missing" in Koha, in my eyes. I also think that Norwegian

librarians are used to having this functionality integrated into their

ILS, as opposed to et least some other countries, where I understand

that the norm is to deal with this functionality outside of the ILS.

Unfortunately, here in Norway we have our very own ILL standard or

protocol, called NILL, which is documented, in Norwegian only, here:

http://www.biblev.no/nill/

Basically the protocol consists of a set of XML messages that are

passed between systems over e-mail(!).

Now, NILL may or may not be of interest to libraries outside Norway,

but I am thinking that at least some functionality will be of common

interest, and that there could be a choice of different protocols, or

an easy way to adapt the core functionality to different protocols.

I am but a tiny vendor trying to attract my first customers, but I

certainly hope to be able to find a library that could be interested

enough in Koha to be willing to sponsor some work on ILL and NILL. In

the meantime I am more than willing to contribute time and any

knowledge on the subject that I may have, in order to help Koha get an

ILL module up and running.

Magnus Enger

Hi all,

We have been thinking about developing Interlibrary loans for Koha.  We 

have a couple of prospective customers that are currently using ILL on 

their existing systems and a few customers who are likely to be 

interested.  We have not worked out a spec yet or the funding, but have 

been discussing doing so.

Folks here developed the Interlibrary Loans for Unicorn in the UK so we 

have some experience of developing this and understanding the workflow.  

That was done with the Unicorn API and without access to the source 

code, so it can only be easier on Koha.  The UK libraries make much use 

of the British Library Document Supply Service but also often interlend 

between institutions.  Both of these are often required or highly 

desirable by UK libraries.

Is there any more interest out there?

All the best.

Just curious: what kind of protocol or other means of communication do

they use for the interlending between institutions?

In the UK, about 80-90% of requests go via the British Library. They use 

a format called ARTTel (it's a plain text format, pretty basic). There 

is a call for some other formats though, mainly a generic type letter 

and also the BMA (British Medical Association). ISOILL never really 

kicked off and we don't really hear of any call for this.

I think, ideally, something where you could plugin extra formats would 

be ideal so that they could be added to on a regional basis or as the 

need arose. I know Spain and Denmark have regional formats.

The two who know this best are away for a couple of days on business but 

the simplest way was by use of emails with templates between 

institutions.  The British Library have their own ARTEL service which 

has its own online protocol or you can communicate with it using emails 

formatted according to their rules.  I understand that the 

implementation of ISO10160/1 never really took off.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

We have a number of problems with OPAC:

1) ?Advanced search always searches with ?and?, how can we get "or" and

"not" to work too?

2) Limiting searches by item type doesn't work. The result is always: "No

results match your search for kw,wrdl: bachmc-itemtype:CDAU". There are

matching records in the database.

3) Sorting search results only works for "title". We need it to work for

"author" and "dates" too.

Something's obviously seriously wrong with the search in this system. Any

ideas?

Hi!

I am afraid I have no idea about a solution, but it would probably be

easier to help if you told the list

- what version of Koha you are running

- if you are running with Zebra or NoZebra

hi all, i have our system (Koha 3.0) set to email the Librarian when a hold
is placed, however i can't find where to define the email address it should
use.  this is separate form the "system notifications" email address defined
in the system preferences.  i'm sure it's user error here ... does anyone
have any idea what i need to do.

thanks in advance!
