Re: [Koha] Global Bug Squashing Day - September 3 2015!
Hi, At Lyon 3 University, we sometimes organize Testing Days with other French Librarians. I think that it could be interesting to associate this event to a GBSD. Unfortunately, September 3d is in the middle of the start of the new university year and it will be difficult to plan a testing day at this moment. But for the next GBSD, I could try to make coordinate both. At least, for September 3d, I propose to communicate about it via the Koha french association to promote the GBSD. I have a simple tutorial in French about the use of sandbox and signing a patch : I can try to translate it (and it can be improve !) but there's already a wiki page : http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Sandboxes I hope it can help to make GBSD more successful !

During the July General IRC meeting [1] we talked about the Global Bug Squashing Days (GBSD) in general and about how to make them more successful. One of the ideas discussed was to have some events during the day - tutorials, questions answers, developers talking about new stuff they are working on etc. So now we are looking for: Ideas! - What would you get interested in participating? - What would help you to get started with testing? - Do you want to know how to file a bug? - Sign off a patch? - How to use a sandbox? - How to set up a Koha testing environment`on your own computer? ... Volunteers! - Would you be able to run a tutorial on that day? - Do you want to present some of your new developments? - Will you be there to answer questions during a specific time slot? ... Please let us know and/or add your ideas to the wiki page [2]!

[Koha] Re-catalogue a library
I would appreciate any tips, hints or suggestions for re-cataloguing a 7000 item library. At the moment, an item is scanned and then the record updated via Z39.50 but this is a slow process. What other approaches are there?

Re: [Koha] Re-catalogue a library
When you say re-cataloguing do you mean that there are records in place from an old system? If so that can be accomplished with some scriptingotherwise read on: We just finished up something like this a year ago and I will say organization is important! It is also important to make sure you have a long list of Z39.50 targets. From my experiences you have found the fastest option and you just need to keep it up! It took 2 people about 6 months of 4 hours of work 5 days a week. Your mileage will vary...

Disclaimer: untested; we are not a lending library so cannot double check all possible repercussions. However, if you are convinced that your problem is limited to / caused by case sensitivity of 'homebranch' and 'holdingbranch' in your *items* records, the easy solution is to edit MySql: mysql UPDATE items SET homebranch = 'CARY' WHERE items.homebranch LIKE 'cary'; mysql UPDATE items SET holdingbranch = 'CARY' WHERE items.holdingbranch LIKE 'cary'; This will only work if CARY is the properly declared value -- otherwise you'll get an error message about foreign keys (MySql is your friend and won't let you make a major mistake.)

Hi Clint, One possibility is to compile of file of ISBNs and submit it to your national library (Te Puna in your case). They could provide you with a file of MARC records. Matching on title and author might also be possible. There might be a fee involved and you still have to create items locally, but its quicker than cataloguing individually. Hope this helps.

Re: [Koha] Re-catalogue a library
Likewise with Riley, if you already have an a existing data and you would want to re-catalog them for some reasons I would suggest to use marcedit. 1. Export the data 2. Extract the ISBN 3. Harvest the data through z39.50 using marcedit. 4. Delete the new callnumber and combine the old one since its already attached in the books. Or Just use the new one. 5. Match the biblionumber with the ISBN 6. and lastly re-import them in koha, record matching biblionumber / ISBN. Hope this would help.
