[Koha] best way to catalog new library?

2012-01-27 Thread smurfett

Hi

We're a bilingual school  in the US that's trying to catalog our chinese 
books from scratch.  Because I can't find the Chinese MARC records from US 
libraries, I've added some z39.50 servers in Taiwan.


I'm trying to figure out if there is a way for us to easily catalog our 
books.  The current Koha interface seem to suggest that I have to type in 
ISBN numbers one by one, it searches the z39.50, I edit the MARC record, 
and save it.  I know Koha allows importing via Excel.  But my problem is I 
don't know how else to get all these MARC records to begin with except 
through Koha.


I bought a barcode scanner and I'd hoped I could somehow scan all the ISBN 
numbers in and some program will search and download all the MARC records 
in a batch format instead.


Do you have any suggestions on how I can catalog my books?

thanks!
nancy

[Koha] Overdue Notices

2012-01-27 Thread Marie Wardall
We are currently working with Koha 3.2 soon to be moving to 3.6 but we have a 
question regarding Overdue Notices.

Our secondary schools have notices set up to run with a delay of 0 days to 10 
days (there are 3 schools and all have different delay settings).  They would 
like one notice they can run that would show all items overdue to patrons when 
they run it on a particular day.  For example our Senior High runs overdue 
notices every Tuesday.  They would like any overdue items to show up on one 
notice for patrons so that they can print them out, cut them apart, and give to 
the patrons homeroom teacher.

Can anyone tell us how we would do this?  Can we set it up in ToolsNotices or 
Overdue notice/status triggers?  Or do we need to create a report that will do 
this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Marie

Re: [Koha] best way to catalog new library?

2012-01-27 Thread smurfett

Wow!  Thanks for the quick reply.  I will check it out.

On a related note, when I search on Koha to these Taiwan z39.50 servers, 
Koha doesn't like the MARC records I downloaded.  I wouldn't let me save 
the record because it keeps complaining about fields that are missing.  I'm 
only vaguely familiar w/ MARC records.  Is this because of compatibility 
issues between the libraries here and the MARC record formats in Koha?  Do 
I have to play w/ how MARC records are setup?  How do I reconcile the 
differences in MARC records?


I used an open z39.50 server listed at IRSpy.  According to that website, 
the z39.50 server I added supports USMARC, which is what I configured the 
syntax as.  I also configured the encoding as UTF8 rather than MARC-8 
(which the sample US servers are configured as).


Thanks!

[Koha] koha on windows 7 install instructions?

2012-01-27 Thread Syneran
I'm having a tough time finding information about installing koha on windows.  
Installing apache, perl, and mysql on windows is no problem.  The issues arise 
when trying to install koha.  The a2enmod and a2ensite commands are difficult 
to translate into something meaninful for windows (since my knowledge what 
these commands do is sketchy).
 
I'm willing to document the process for windows installation and submit it  to 
the docs team for any future windows people.  I just need some help or pointers 
on getting this up and running.
 
Also, the install notes say:
 ln -s /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha
 
which I guess is softlinking the .conf file to a file in the sites-available 
subdir of apache2.  However, my windows intall of apache 2.2 has no 
subdirectory called sites-available. 
 
Any help is super appreciated.
 
Thanks!

Hello.

I'm having a tough time finding information about installing koha on
 windows.  Installing apache, perl, and mysql on windows is no problem.  The
 issues arise when trying to install koha.


I'm not surprised. Installing Koha on Windows is very difficult. I'd
recommend against running Koha directly on Windows in the strongest
possible terms. If, however, you want to brave it, Chris Nighswonger has
written a guide to how he got Koha running under Windows:
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_3.4

I'm willing to document the process for windows installation and submit it
 to the docs team for any future windows people.  I just need some help or
 pointers on getting this up and running.

 Also, the install notes say:
  ln -s /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha

 which I guess is softlinking the .conf file to a file in the
 sites-available subdir of apache2.  However, my windows intall of apache
 2.2 has no subdirectory called sites-available.


You'll need to read the documentation on using Apache under Windows to
figure out where .conf files with Apache virtual hosts go. a2enmod is for
enabling Apache modules (probably has to be at compile time under Windows),
and a2ensite is for enabling sites.

I can't offer any more help than that, as I stopped using Microsoft
products willingly before Windows XP was released.

Regards,
Jared

Re: [Koha] Koha Digest, Vol 75, Issue 58

2012-01-27 Thread Stacy Pober
Sue McMillan wrote:
 Hi Anne, I don't believe there is a bulk biblio delete built into Koha.  It 
 certainly would be a good development though.

Perhaps she's on one of the PTFS/Liblime versions of their  Koha-based ILS?

At least one of the Liblime sporks has  a batch item deletion and
editing tool.  I have not found it to be very useful and instead do
all the batch record editing with MarcEdit (free, though not
open-source).   When there are a large number of deletions, I use Undo
Import if at all possible.

I have wondered why the process of deleting records is so tedious in
Koha generally.  You cannot delete the biblio without first deleting
the items attached, and that adds quite a few steps to the process.
It's a lot of clicks and it's a slow process. One of our ebook vendors
deleted a few thousand books last year from our subscription.  The
amount of staff time needed to go through all the steps of deleting
those records was unreasonable, so we just suppressed the records in
the OPAC.  We would have preferred to delete the records entirely.

In some library systems, they have a batch deletion method that allows
you to delete records by batch uploading the MARC records with a
deletion flag in one of the fields.  Since our major ebook
subscription vendor does provide MARC records when they delete books,
it would be simple to change one field to have a deletion flag with
MarcEdit and then upload those.  It would certainly be quicker than
thousands of iterations of the rather tedious individual delete
item/delete biblio procedure.

I'm just mentioning it here because you might want to consider
incorporating something like that into Koha.  There is no quick and
easy delete method other than undo-ing entire batches in any version
of Koha, as far as I know.   If you are working on a tool that allows
the deletion based on biblionumber or biblioitemnumber, consider
including  an interface that allows users to enter a range of
continuous numbers, so you could specify deletion of record
132000-132600 or whatever, rather  having to list each number
individually. Having an input box that allowed thta kind of  range of
records would have made the Liblime tool much more useful, and would
have provided an viable alternative to the batch undo method, which
doesn't always work perfectly.

As with the bulk edit/delet tool, there have been other features added
to the proprietary Liblime version of Koha that sounded useful when
planned, but turned out to either not have the functionality expected
or else broke some other important feature when activated.  For
example, there is a simple search feature which was highly
anticipated because it was supposed to offer a more user-friendly
search syntax.  The feature exists, but if you turn it on, Advanced
Search no longer works properly.  As a consequence, I don't think many
libraries are using that feature.

I've sometimes wondered whether the people active in software new
feature development process need to explicitly include the phrase
should not interfere with any existing functionality when they're
writing specifications.  It's kind of like the medical principle of
First, do no harm.

I think end-users assume this is implicit in their proposals but
designers sometimes fail to preserve the full functionality of the
program in the design process. .

 Hi Anne, I don't believe there is a bulk biblio delete built into Koha.  It 
 certainly would be a good development though.

 Subject: Re: [Koha] Biblio deletion

 When I try to import the file into the Batch Item Delete tool I get the
 following message.
 I'm not sure I have understood the function of the tool as it seems to be
 asking for a barcode not the biblio numbers that I am trying to load.
 Software error:

 Can't call method as_usmarc on an undefined value at
 /koha/lib/C4/Items.pm line 589.

 Perhaps she's on one of the PTFS/Liblime versions of their  Koha-based ILS?

 At least one of the Liblime sporks has  a batch item deletion and
 editing tool.  I

Koha itself has batch item modification and deletion, and it works
well. But she was asking about batch Biblio deletion. Koha doesn't
have that yet.

snip lots of stuff not about Koha but interesting nonetheless

The batch deletion of Biblio's has to be done very carefully, checking
for orders, receives, serials subscriptions etc. Items is a little
easier.

In Koha itself, the batch deletion of items works pretty darn well, so
as long as the biblio deletion tool is coded in the same way, we
shouldn't run into the problems some forks have had.

The nice thing about the Koha development process, is that all changes
need to be signed off, then pass qa, then pass the RM. That's after
they have passed whatever internal process the developers have.

Also new features always go into Koha turned off, and you have to
enable them. Principle of least suprise.

Re: [Koha] best way to catalog new library?

2012-01-27 Thread Sue McMillan
I use a product called Bookwhere to find MARC records. It's by a USA company.  
Bookwhere searches up to 50 barcodes at time through multiple library 
databases.  Very easy to use and would recommend it to anyone.
