You can use suspreff 'OpacSuppression' it allows to hide from public OPAC
records when you tha tag 942$n=1 *note do not turn on this syspref *before
hide at least one record or the opac won't give results

 Hello all,
 I'd like to know if there's a way in koha which allows indexers to add
 records (individually not in an imported marc file)  but can't be added to
 catalog and doesn't appear in search in purpose of revising the indexer's
 records before adding it to  catalog.
 We use koha 3.16.01
 Thanks.

 I'm going to say maybe, but by not picking an actual license they make it
murky,
 maybe you could get in touch and ask them to put them under an actual
license.
CC-BY  would probably be a good choice.  Or CC0 even.

It's unclear if they have the rights to license them, IE im unclear if they
hold the copyright or if they took those icons from somewhere else.

[Koha] Cataloguing in Koha

2015-02-19 Thread Diana Haderup
Hello all,

I'm new to the list and have a question concerning cataloguing in Koha (version 
3.16.04).
It pertains to the MARC fields 110/111 or 710/711 respectively. All of them 
have the First Indicator in common, which is defined as follows:

First Indicator
Type of corporate name entry element
0 - Inverted name
1 - Jurisdiction name
2 - Name in direct order
(see: http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd110.html)

The LOC examples did not help much to interpret the meaning of the first 
indicator. Can somebody shed light on how to understand the numbers' 
descriptions and when to choose which number?
I'd be grateful for examples as well.

Thank you!

I don't know if this is the list for regular cataloging questions. Most 
of those go to lists such as Autocat. To answer your question:
The 2 is used in most cases. The 1 is used with some kind of 
government agency where the government agency controls a jurisdiction 
(national, down to local such as a city). Therefore, you will see in the 
examples:


1101#$aUnited States.$bNational Technical Information Service
1101#$aMinnesota.$bConstitutional Convention

because the US and Minnesota are jurisdictions, while any 
non-jurisdictional agency will have a 2, e.g.


1102#$aInternational Labour Organisation.$bEuropean Regional Conference

because while the ILO is a inter-governmental agency, it is not a 
jurisdiction.


But note. There is also

1102#$aCatholic Church.$bConcilium Plenarium Americae Latinae

where the Catholic Church gets a 2 because it is not a jurisdiction, but

110 1_ |a Papal States. |b Congregazione del buon governo
and
110 1_ |a Vatican City. |b Comitato centrale del grande giubileo 
dell’anno duemila


these get a 1 because they are jurisdictions.

This also goes for references, e.g.
110 2_ |a New York Public Library
has a reference
410 1_ |a New York (N.Y.). |b Public Library
as a subbody of the jurisdiction of New York City.

Determining whether bodies should be entered subordinately to larger 
bodies or not can be difficult. It can be especially tough for 
government (jurisdictional) bodies. The rules for AACR2 are 24.17-24.19, 
plus the RIs at 
https://sites.google.com/site/opencatalogingrules/library-of-congress-rule-interpretations


Whenever I explain these things, I have to stop and discuss why 
cataloging rules can be so complicated. Often it makes sense but in this 
case, I have never in my life seen how a 1 or 2 makes any difference in 
searching or display (I have never run across a 0). In theory, I guess 
you could have the 1 file differently from the 2 so that you 
could--in theory--get government bodies filed separately (if anybody 
would want it), but it wouldn't work anyway because the rules for 
determining the form of name of a subordinate body are so obscure it 
would be almost totally arbitrary. For instance as we saw,  New York 
Public Library is *not* considered a subbody of the jurisdiction of New 
York! Although it is! It's only a reference. Explain that to a member of 
the public!


And how these forms will be at all relevant in the world of linked data, 
I really cannot imagine. These are some of the issues I have hoped the 
world of cataloging would address, but they haven't. Oh well, back to work!

Re: [Koha] What patron permission allows creating booklists?

2015-02-19 Thread Owen Leonard
 If I want to allow teachers to make booklists, what permission do I need to
 have checked in their patron account?

Patron accounts need no special permission to be able to create lists.
You must have the 'virtualshelves' system preference turned on.

If you want users to be able to create public lists from the OPAC you
have to have the 'OpacAllowPublicListCreation' system preference

Free for commercial use isn't a Koha-compatible license. For example,
there are many people using Koha in a non-commercial library, and so
wouldn't be allowed to use it. I know, that sounds a bit silly, but
that's literally what the (poor excuse for a) license says.

Additionally, it'd be nice that if we had icons, they allowed derivative
works to be made, so we can modify them to suit more, change colours to
fit a theme, etc.

The absolute ideal would be CC-BY-SA, as that's a very close analogue
with the GPL, but most CC licenses would work provided it doesn't
include Non-Commercial or No-Derivatives.

There is also the temporary directory. It usually is on /tmp, but you can

If you are using 3.18, keep in mind the availability of the indexing daemon

[Koha] Error message at login: 'You do not have permission to access this page'

2015-02-19 Thread Frank Peters

Hi out there,

I'm glad to take part in this list in my effort to set up a working Koha 
database for the library of our institute.


Unfortunately, I encounter the first problem right at the beginning: 
When logging in with my database administrator account, I get this message:


Warning: You're logged in with the database administrator account. This 
is a bad idea, and you are likely to encounter problems. You should 
create a patron to use when administering Koha and give it 
superlibrarian permissions.


So I did: I've created a new patron with my name (peters), choosing the 
category SuperUser (SU) (the only available option). When I try to log 
in as this patron, however, I get the message:


Error: You do not have permission to access this page.

So, what's going wrong?!

Grateful for any helpful idea!

Frank

useful for disk caching, and you could experiment with disk fsync()

well be acceptable, for example just needing to a full reindex in case
of a power outage.

 useful for disk caching, and you could experiment with disk fsync()
 commit options (i.e. by making it not require data to be written back
 before returning.) This has risk though, but if you're careful, it could
 well be acceptable, for example just needing to a full reindex in case
 of a power outage.

[Koha] Koha indexing - files

2015-02-19 Thread Chad Roseburg
We are currently setting up a server and have a question about the location
of the zebra indexes.
Is /var/lib/koha/instancename/biblios/ the only place zebra keeps the index
files it writes to during the indexing process?

We are considering mounting the index files to a separate high-performance
disk array in hopes of improving performance during the indexing process --
has anyone experimented with something like this?

Thanks!

It puts temporary files in /tmp during the indexing process, and
authority indices in /var/lib/koha/instancename/authorities/

 disk array in hopes of improving performance during the indexing process --

It'd be worth seeing where the slowdown in the indexing actually is: is
the exporting the slow part, or the merging into the index?

Though, I've never tried with zebra indicies on a high speed disk, I'd
be interested to see some real benchmarks. Also, more RAM might be
useful for disk caching, and you could experiment with disk fsync()
commit options (i.e. by making it not require data to be written back
before returning.) This has risk though, but if you're careful, it could
well be acceptable, for example just needing to a full reindex in case

Okey dokey, makes perfect sense. I'll tell the library that.

 I got these suggestions for adding icons to Koha.  They are licensed
 as free for commercial use but not GPL - can we add them to Koha?

 Free for commercial use isn't a Koha-compatible license. For example,
 there are many people using Koha in a non-commercial library, and so
 wouldn't be allowed to use it. I know, that sounds a bit silly, but
 that's literally what the (poor excuse for a) license says.

 Additionally, it'd be nice that if we had icons, they allowed derivative
 works to be made, so we can modify them to suit more, change colours to
 fit a theme, etc.

 The absolute ideal would be CC-BY-SA, as that's a very close analogue
 with the GPL, but most CC licenses would work provided it doesn't
 include Non-Commercial or No-Derivatives.
