Re: [Koha] Importing books from a csv file, including bar codes
Hi It doesn't look like it is a part of MARC. And since it is not a part of MARC, I can't really just import a MARC file, can I? Yes you can import data in marc format includes Item data by using the 952 field at the end of each bib record . so if you have 3 Items in your first record your record should end with something like this : 952 \\$aMain $bBrunch $p1001 $t C-1 $o020 ABC.D 952 \\$aMain $bBrunch $p1002 $t C-2 $o020 ABC.D 952 \\$aMain $bBrunch $p1003 $t C-3 $o020 ABC.D that's it , and as what guys told you , you can use marcedit to make it easy mapping your fields to marc and local koha fields (like item field ) the 952 sub-fields are : 0 - Withdrawn status 2 - Source of classification or shelving scheme 3 - Materials specified (bound volume or other part) 4 - Damaged status 5 - Use restrictions 7 - Not for loan 8 - Collection code a - Permanent location b - Current location c - Shelving location d - Date acquired ... e - Source of acquisition f - Coded location qualifier g - Cost, normal purchase price h - Serial Enumeration / chronology i - Inventory number j - Shelving control number o - Full call number p - Barcode ... t - Copy number u - Uniform Resource Identifier v - Cost, replacement price w - Price effective from x - Non-public note y - Koha item type z - Public note Best Regards On Fri, Oct 25, 2013 at 5:04 AM, magmatic magma...@timkoop.com wrote: I'm trying to import books into Koha.

[Koha] Koha - Enrollment Period
Hi Guys! Is there any way of having different enrollment period for the same patron category?? Can yous please help me in this area! Cheers ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
Re: [Koha] Koha - Enrollment Period
Is there any way of having different enrollment period for the same patron category?? Can yous please help me in this area! No. The purpose of having different patron categories is to allow you to have different settings for each, including enrollment period. Why not have more than one category? -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
[Koha] Notices Documentation Question
Hello all, Up til now I thought (and I forget who told me thing) that all notices with the exception of the overdues needed to have the items.content notation to show the items the notice was talking about. Today I learned that this isn't true for the check out digest - and maybe others. Instead you need this notation: biblio.title /b by biblio.author (items.itype). Due Date: issues.date_due The dashes included ... so what I need to know is what notices need to be like this and what use items.content and which use the item /item tags?

Re: [Koha] koha - consortia
Could you be a bit more specific? I administer Koha for a 32 member library consortium and each library has different loan periods and fine structures as well as patron categories unique to some members. Koha handles this quite well. Koha also allows for different overdue messaging preferences and checkout slip configurations for member libraries.
