Dear Nancy;
Please visit the following site :
http://ksrcas.pbworks.com/w/page/3809371/editingmarcframework
Question : (for example the 00 fields?) will I run into a problem when I
import records?
Answer: better not to delete/hide the default / mandatory fields, these
mandatory fields are clickable only. Won't take that much time.
Question: Put another way, if I import records all from the Library of
Congress for example, using the import script, will the script fail if the
field is not defined in my framework?
Answer: No issue, if you select the customized framework for Z39.50 search
and catalogue, you will be able to store the content/biblio.
You can go ahead and customize the framework and it will work very
effectively for you.
Feel free to revert back for any clarifications.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Randy,
I think there are two problems: how to print and what to print.
If you can register your thermal printer as a standard windows printer,
capable to print a web page from a browser, then this link can help you:
http://www.nexpresslibrary.org/go-live/configure-your-receipt-printers/
Next, what is printed in the circulation slip is basically in the file
$KOHA_DIR/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/members/
moremember-print.tt
that file could be tailored to your needs (logo, etc), handled with care by
someone who understand html.
It's a sort of html file, but not quite. It's used by Koha to generate the
html of the receipt.
Hope that helps

Dear Koha users,
I would like to hear from users of Koha in the Pacific Islands.
Many small Pacific countries struggle with extra issues when automating
their libraries, such as unexpected power outages (and damaging power
surges), intermittent and slow Internet access, old technology and limited
IT expertise. For many Pacific libraries, Koha is their first automated
system, and staff training is a real issue. Quite a few Pacific Koha
projects have stalled as a result of these problems.
We need to develop a supportive local community that shares knowledge and
offers support.
I hope to set up a smaller discussion forum for the Pacific Koha community
(while still being involved in the wider Koha community discussions). The
forum will talk about day to day use of Koha, answer basic questions about
using the system and share resources such as training materials. I would
also like to discuss regional training possibilities.
Please email me at:
pamela.bidwell at usp.ac.fj<mailto:pamela.bidwell at usp.ac.fj> if you would like
to be involved.
I hope to hear from you soon.

Hi
We're a small school library and don't really need all the fields used in
MARC records. But I would like to import my marc records using the import
perl script. I was wondering, if I edit the BOOK MARC framework for
example, and delete fields that we don't really care about (for example the
00 fields?) will I run into a problem when I import records?
Put another way, if I import records all from the Library of Congress for
example, using the import script, will the script fail if the field is not
defined in my framework?

Hi,
We're a very specialized library dealing with a very narrow range of
subjects, so we've created our own classification/call-number system. I'd
just like to make sure we're doing it right: We've created something like
CALLNUM as an authorized values category, and then we're putting our general
call number heading (e.g. BC1100) as the Authorized Value, and then
"Reference--Dictionaries" as the Description and the Description (OPAC). And
then we've mapped CALLNUM as a mandatory field on our Marc framework.
Does it sound like we're doing this the right way?
Thanks,
Peter Aronson

Probably not, but I think the usual way is to set up new frameworks
and leave the full ones there. The import script can (must? check it!)
use the default framework, which is another way out.

I think the answer is: no, but it may behave slightly strangely
when you edit the record or need you to use the default
framework to edit all the fields. Nothing should break as a result
of this, though.
Hope that informs,

In Home ? Administration ? System Preferences I have specified that the
field "itemcallnumber" should map the MARC subfield 099aef.
However Koha only maps subfields a and e (099ae)? It is not mapping subfield
f. Is this option limited to only 2 subfields?
Thanks,
Peter

Hi Paula,
You need to add it to Koha's MARC Framework.
#1 Login to the Staff Client Side, click on the "More" drop down menu, and
choose Administration. That will bring you to the Administration page.
#2 Under Catalog heading click on "MARC Bibliographic framework". This
takes you to a list of the MARC Frameworks in your instance of Koha.
#3 Click on the "MARC Structure" link beside the MARC Framework you want
the 09X field added to.
#4 Enter 09X in the "Search for tag" search box and click search.
#5 Click the subfields link on the 09X tag line, then click edit subfields
and at the bottom of that page you will see a link that says "display more
constraints". Click on the "display more constraints" link.
#6 You will need to set the "hidden" field to the correct value. -1 will
make it visible in the OPAC, on the Intranet, in the editor, and will make
it show up as collapsed in the editor. See this page for more details:

OK, I think I found the problem. We have a number of patrons who were
created (or somehow set) the privacy setting on their accounts. This
was not readily visible and not taken into account when we were trying
to perform the anonymizing.
Where on the OPAC can a patron set their privacy flag? I've not seen
where that option can be set.
Thanks,
Tom
