That often signifies an encoding problem in the title tag.  Check
the record.  If you'd like more help, you'll probably need to tell
people where to obtain the record from or how to recreate it.

That error probably should be trapped better, but there are tons
of possible encoding errors and just when we think we got them all...

Hope that helps,

Re: [Koha] Koha 4 timeframe

[Ian Walls]

We haven't nailed this down with any finality as a community, but the
general idea is that when Solr search indexing is ready, we'll bump from
the 3.X line to 4.0.  Hopefully, that will be soon, like April or Oct of
2013.

[Koha] Fwd: Re: File names

The reason the 090 line is commented out is that Koha doesn't use 090 for
biblionumbers anymore. 090 is generally used for local call numbers, which
are not suitable alternatives to biblionumbers (which Koha stores by
default in 999$c). Did you upgrade from 2.something?

Jared

[Koha] Local call number

[Paula Corman]

I am embarking on cataloging about 400 CD's and I want to use a locally 
assigned call number.  It appears from the MARC records I have examined that 
libraries are using the 09X field.  However, the template for the version of 
Koha that this library uses does not have that option.  Can someone please tell 
me what to do to add this field to the Koha template?  I do not have a systems 
person and/or programmer who can help, so if possible, please keep the 
directions simple.  Thanks.

[Koha] Itherm 280 receipt printers with Koha Circulation

[Randy Smith]

Our library consortium is preparing to go live with Koha next week.  We 
want to print receipts for checkout, etc. using our Itherm 280 receipt 
printers, but have searched in vain for any available configuration 
instructions or advice.  Is anyone using Itherm 280 receipt printers for 
patron checkout, hold slips, etc.?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: [Koha] Itherm 280 receipt printers with Koha Circulation

[Bernardo Gonzalez Kriegel]

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

[Koha] Seeking Pacific Island Koha users

[Pamela Bidwell]

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.bidw...@usp.ac.fj 
if you would like to be involved.

I hope to hear from you soon.

[Koha] marc framework and importing records

[smurfett]

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?

[Koha] Custom call-number schemes

[Peter Aronson]

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
