The other thing to check for is whether the computer used for check-in and
check-out is on a wired network or wireless. On my system I discovered that
check-in/check-out tends to be slower or on a computer with wireless
connectivity than the one on a wired network

Re: [Koha] Question on Cataloguing Graduate Thesis

2013-04-08 Thread Nicole Engard
Chris,

I don't know how in depth you want me to go here.  Your best bet is to use
Analytics (which are meant for this very thing).  So you catalog the bound
edition as '2013 graduate theses' or some such title). Then you catalog
each individual theses and link them to the whole. Here's a start on how
that works:

 David,
as Koha depends on Apache+MySQL+Perl+Zebra then it could probably run on
any Linux distribution,
the difference is on how much work you need to set it up.

Most important thing is your Perl version, you need = 5.10.
Is that's not the case, you need to compile Perl and all the needed
modules. Doable, but too much work.

If you have the right Perl, check how many needed modules can
install from packages (you need all listed by koha_perl_deps:pl -m -u)
The more you have, less work.

Check if your distribution have Zebra, if not compile it.

With that dependencies solved, Koha can run happily without problems.

Regards,
Bernardo

PS: I installed Koha 3.10 on CentOS 5.3, so I had to do all the work.

 Hi, all. We are having a problem with batch modification, and I hope
 someone out there has found a work around or way to fix it.


 We have a default replacement price of $15. This is inserted in the item
 record when we create an item. The only time we use this is when the item
 is a gift and has no price attached to it. Otherwise, we use the retail
 price for the item. This of course flags circ when an item is lost or
 damaged and needs to be replaced by the patron.

 The problem we are having is the actual replacement price is being replaced
 by the default price when we do batch modification on one or multiple
 items. We tried taking out the default price in our settings, but then it
 just replaces the replacement price with nothing.

 Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, did you find a fix for it?
 I'm wondering if there is something about Koha we are missing.

 Thanks in advance!

[Koha] How often do upgrades happen to Koha?

One final question... on average, how frequently is Koha updated (so I can 
determine support requirements if we have to move to Red Hat as opposed to 
Debian)?

It looks from the schedule I see that every month there is an update.  Is that 
true? As we mentioned in previous thread, our Corporate IT support will only 
support Red Hat so if I only need to update every 6 months or over, then that 
would be fine to have them support for that long interval.

We are also looking at a hosted solution Thanks again for your time and

Hi All,

   I got a lot of help from the Koha-community IRC chat room when I 
installed Koha on RHEL6, and I attempted to capture as much as I could 
and put it on the Wiki. Let me know if there's anything I can help you 
with. If you're interested in the modified rc script, I can provide that 
to you or upload it to the wiki.


V/r,
Anderson Manly

I am using ubuntu 12.04 and koha 3.8.7. I have about 1000-2000 books. My search 
about 2s. your problem is, maybe, large database, next ram is low (check it 
with free -m), then check %cpu is working! Make sure zebra is working ps aux | 
grep zebrasrv and is enabled in Koha!

Hi Randall

No, that is not why a lot of people repost unfortunately, what you ran
into was the mailman instance that administers the list had stopped
processing for a few days. This is very rare, I think it has happened 3
or 4 times in the 13+ years it has been running.

Once the queue processing started again it caught up. Hence a flurry
of email. Fortunately this is very rare, and unfortunately, no there
are still impatient people :)

Re: [Koha] How often do upgrades happen to Koha?

2013-04-08 Thread Mark Tompsett

Greetings,


One final question... on average, how frequently is Koha updated
(so I can determine support requirements if we have to move to Red Hat as 
opposed to Debian)?


Roughly, every month is a BUG fix, no enhancements are added, as far as I 
understand.
Every 6 months is a new version, enhancements that were held back and are 
tested and Q/A make it in plus bug fixes.


I do not believe you have to update every month (unless you find something 
fixed that you are encountering), and you may even be able to get along 
nicely skipping a new version (unless that new fangled enhancement is just a 
necessity you can't live without). Annual updates keep you from falling too 
far behind and keep your system administration needs to a minimum. Though 
under debian-based OS'es, two or three commands monthly isn't so bad. ;)


GPML,
Mark Tompsett

 The other thing to check for is whether the computer used for check-in and
 check-out is on a wired network or wireless. On my system I discovered that
 check-in/check-out tends to be slower or on a computer with wireless
 connectivity than the one on a wired network

Re: [Koha] Koha - Red Hat question

2013-04-08 Thread Callaghan, Michael D.
The problem David and I are facing is that we have been directed to move our 
Koha server into a data center that is managed by our corporate IT personnel. 
They only support RHEL 6 and Windows Server 2008, and will not allow us to 
install any other OS. Given that limitation, would you recommend we push 
forward and try to install on RHEL, or should we abandon the attempt and find 
another application?

Barring other reasons, I would recommend running Koha on Debian whenever

install it from packages!

Since RHEL6 includes Perl 5.10, that at least removes one major
barrier, and installing Koha on that platform is certainly doable --
and it's even more so if you're allowed to pull dependencies from EPEL
and RPMForge.

[Koha] serials help

2013-04-08 Thread JessWeitz
I am writing to you from a small public library in Southern Vermont, USA. We
are about to launch a new 5 library consortium within the state using a
shared Koha ILS. Over the coming years, many more public and academic
libraries in the state will join our consortium. We are the only library
that has used a serials module in the past (TLC) and will be setting up a
lot of the records and predictions that will be used by the consortium. 

We are looking for a library that has been using Koha Serials for a resource
to ask questions to as we set up this system...

Thank you!

Re: [Koha] Koha - Red Hat question

2013-04-08 Thread Mark Tompsett

Greetings,

You may have to CPAN some libraries in -- even with RPMForge and EPEL. :( I 
was playing with CentOS 6.3 and found this issue.
Though, I was beginning to play with cpan2rpm, which would hopefully allow 
for future upgrading as the libraries become available in the default repos.
And though it is strongly recommended against to install from CPAN (because 
upgrading becomes a CPAN only option), Koha can function just fine under 
RHEL 6.

Also, it would be helpful to know what layout you are using.

Re: [Koha] Question on Cataloguing Graduate Thesis

2013-04-08 Thread David Friggens
 Where/how do you catalog multiple graduate theses in a single binding in
 dewey/loc/foobar?

IANAC (I Am Not A Cataloguer) for for LCC, I know of a library that
catalogues all its (individual) theses under AS741 (Academies and
learned societies - By region or country - Oceania - New Zealand)
rather than the individual subjects. For example:
AS741 VUW TC 27   (the 27th masters in chemistry)
AS741 VUW PhD TEd 22   (the 22nd doctorate in education)

It looks like AS22 is the equivalent for USA. Something similar could
be done for bound volumes, and presumably for Dewey too (378.2?
011.75? 378.071?)
