[Koha] Problem with email notices

[King, Fred]

Esteemed Koha colleagues,

I recently set up overdue notices via Gmail. Everything seems to be going well 
except for one thing. I have Koha set up to send a friendly reminder on the day 
the item is due. For example, Schooner got this message (condensed to save 
space):

Dear  Schooner,
This is a friendly reminder that the following item(s) you borrowed from the 
library is/are now due:

"Bellevue "
by Oshinsky, David M.
WX 28 .O82 2017
Barcode: 32975000764287

(If the title, author, etc. are blank, please disregard this notice. We're 
trying to figure out why this keeps happening.)
Please return as soon as possible, or contact the library at 202-877-6221, or 
at whclibr...@medstar.net if you would like to 
renew it. (Note that reserve books cannot be renewed except under special 
circumstances.)
For after hours returns: There is a book drop in the hallway outside of the 
library (2A43)
Thank you very much for your prompt attention to this matter.

Note: Schooner is my dog, who has no reasonable expectation of privacy 
regarding her book borrowing, so I can identify her by name.

The following day, she got another message:

Dear  Schooner,
This is a friendly reminder that the following item(s) you borrowed from the 
library is/are now due:

""
by

Barcode:

(If the title, author, etc. are blank, please disregard this notice. We're 
trying to figure out why this keeps happening.)
Please return as soon as possible, or contact the library at 202-877-6221, or

circumstances.)
For after hours returns: There is a book drop in the hallway outside of the 
library (2A43)
Thank you very much for your prompt attention to this matter.

This is happening with every friendly reminder that goes out. It's not 
happening with any other notices, and it's using the same template for the 
reminder and the blank one.

Is this happening to anybody else? Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix 
it? I'm stumped.

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Reservoir vs catalog

[King, Fred]

I can think of a couple of possibilities.

First, how did you transfer the data? Did you import the data into the catalog? 
If you staged but didn’t import, they’d be in the reservoir but not the catalog.

Second, did you rebuild the index after importing the records? Lately I’ve had 
problems with records not showing up in the catalog—turned out I needed to run
   koha-elasticsearch –rebuild -d -v [name of the Koha instance, in my case, 
library] –commit 1000
My thanks go to Nick Clemens of Bywater Solutions for the –commit 1000 ending. 
My Elasticsearch had just one node and crashed every time I tried rebuilding 
the index using the default of 5000. It won’t be a problem for your Koha 
instance of 800 records, but someone else reading this might find it helpful. 
You can leave out the –commit 1000

But what do you mean by lost since the digital access path has ben changed? If 
it has a new IP address, pointing to that should work. Can you get to either 
the staff client or the OPAC?

Reply off-list if you’d like.

Hi everyone,



We are an independnat library which recently installed Koha. We

cataloged our c. 800 books, on a local system on a PC. Yet, we had to

move the catalog to an other computer (and cloud) and the whole list

have been lost in the process since the digital access path has been

changed.



However, we have been able to tranfer (and find) our 800 books , which

are gathered in the reservoir (name, author, ISBN, etc.), but we

cannot find the catalog, which lists each item of our library and

which  allows us to do loans, etc.



Do you know how can we recover such pieces of information?  Where can

we find the catalog?



Thank you very much.

[Koha] CHAT/Video: the Avenging Chicken Fills and Interlibrary Loan Request

[King, Fred]

Esteemed colleagues,

This has absolutely nothing to do with Koha, but it does have to do with the 
Avenging Chicken, libraries, and interlibrary loans. If you're not interested, 
please hit the delete key now and accept my apologies for the post.

For people not in the medical library field, a bit of explanation may be in 
order. Docline is an interlibrary loan system started by the U.S. National 
Library of Medicine, used by medical libraries throughout the U.S. and Canada. 
It is an absolutely wonderful system, especially when an article is needed 
RIGHT NOW for urgent patient care. When it was started in 1985, its mascot was 
Tugger, a dog owned by an NLM employee. Docline was extensively revised around 
2019, and he was retired. Many people miss him, and he makes a brief appearance 
here.

Several months ago, an earworm insinuated itself into my mind, and the symptoms 
became so severe that I was compelled to turn it into a stop-motion video 
starring the Avenging Chicken. For those of you not familiar with the 1966 
American TV series, look up Batman and the composer Neal Hefti. The video is 
here:
   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbN060kqOUo
and it's part of the Avenging Chicken's YouTube channel:
   https://www.youtube.com/@avengingchicken

Usual disclaimer applies: my opinions only, and I have no idea of where this 
was filmed.

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] KOHA OPAC customize page

[King, Fred]

Greetings!

IF you have customized your OPAC pages using the same method I used, I have a 
solution that MIGHT work. I’m kind of doubtful since I don’t have my 
configuration altered when I update my Ubuntu, but even if it doesn’t work, it 
might give you some ideas.

What I did was modify the xslt templates to show what I wanted. If you go to 
Administration > System preferences > OPAC and scroll down to 
OPACXSLDetailsDisplay and OPACXSLResultsDisplay, you’ll see the names and 
locations of the templates for the OPAC. If it’s “default” then the files are 
(on my system, configured in English)
   
/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/xslt/MARC21slim2OPACResults.xsl
 (search results)
   
/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/xslt/MARC21slim2OPACDetail.xsl
 (single record)
I don’t think that an Ubuntu update would overwrite those, but it’s possible.

What I did for the MedStar Authors Catalog (http://medstarauthors.org, not 
https:, not accessible from everywhere—I don’t think EU countries can see it) 
was modify those files and save them as
   
/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/xslt/new_authcat_results.xsl
   
/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/xslt/new_authcat_detail.xsl
You can put them anywhere you want, as long as they’re on a site Koha can 
access. For example, you could put them in
   /var/www/html/results.xsl
Or
   http://dokument.space/results.xsl (actually that won’t work since I’m not 
storing files there anymore, but you get the idea.

I did a presentation at last year’s koha-US conference that covers this a bit 
(I only had an hour and I didn’t want to overwhelm my audience too much.) See 
https://youtu.be/MfZ8msQ0ZQA

I also have the files and some other information at 
http://medstarauthors.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-page.pl?page_id=9.

And if that doesn’t work, hmmm… well, you might try my method. It’s 
time-consuming to get everything right, but it works.

[Koha] CHAT: The Avenging Chicken goes forth. Twice!

[King, Fred]

Esteemed colleagues,

After far too long, or maybe too soon, I present two new Adventures of Fred and 
the Avenging Chicken. Last May we went to the MLA-SLA joint conference in 
Detroit, then in September we ventured north to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, for 
the koha-US conference. Thanks to everybody we met, and if you notice any 
errors please let me know.

The polite fiction that my employer is unknown has probably worn out, so it's 
even more important to include this disclaimer: The opinions expressed here are 
my own, and are not necessarily representative of MedStar Health, its 
management, associates, affiliates, attending physicians, their families, or 
any of their household pets. And I mean it.

The trip to Detroit is here: 
http://avengingchicken.online//mla-sla2023/
The trip to Portsmouth is here: http://avengingchicken.online/koha-us_2023/

Question to ponder: if the Chicken goes forth twice, is that eight or half?

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Re: Elasticsearch in Debian 12

[King, Fred]

This will not be helpful, but it might be comforting and it might make you 
chuckle. I'm running my Koha instances on Ubuntu, and I haven't been able to 
install any Elasticsearch past 6.x, or on anything beyond Koha 22.11. I've 
gotten the "no nodes" error many times, also error messages about shards. Two 
instances have a status of green, one is still yellow. It works, which is the 
important thing.

My experience is that sometimes Elasticsearch installs successfully, sometimes 
it doesn't. When I tried to install Elasticsearch during a live demo at last 
month's koha-US conference (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sks5Jfb9drQ), it 
didn't go well at all, despite the fact that I had done a dress rehearsal the 
week before using THE EXACT SAME IMAGE AND COMMANDS. I didn't make a complete 
idiot of myself--my pants didn't fall down--but it wasn't one of my better 
presentations. When I got home I tried it again and it worked perfectly. I 
actually have a video of it in the works--I just need to add the narration.

I should add that I'm unsupported, and although I have made and broken more 
instances of Koha than most of you, I'm definitely not an expert in fitting all 
the parts together. YMMV.

This looks exactly like the problem caused by ES clients not wanting to talk to 
some versions of ES server. David posted this to the koha-devel list in another 
thread about the same problem:


which ES perl client is installed?

the newest version that still works with ES7 (which we are using) is

https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://metacpan.org/release/EZIMUEL/Search-Elasticsearch-7.717/view/lib/Search/Elasticsearch.pm__;!!D7IIWT94AA!9VAThxI0e4HJyPMlE28y3ZwAYLjcmmOIMERMl7pt_hkfF3yZRjoHUxygqMJidWpG2ToGCISVtOdsL9o$
 

check currently installed version
`perl -MSearch::Elasticsearch\ 
Search::Elasticsearch version  required--this is only version 7.717.`

if necessary, downgrade
`cpanm Search::Elasticsearch~"< 8.00"`


For us, downgrading "solved" the ES problems with newer Debians.

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Re: Suggestion for a Debian Managed VPS

[King, Fred]

If you're willing to give up a few of the features you want, you might want to 
consider Digital Ocean. They don't do automatic updates and if you want UFW or 
Time2Ban you have to install and configure those yourself. They do offer 
automatic backups for an extra 10%. I'm running our small library with 4GB RAM 
and something like 80GB SSD for around $30USD per month. They have other 
options with more RAM, CPUs and SSD sizes. You can also make a snapshot of your 
Koha instance so if you do something horrible to it you can restore from the 
snapshot. They're also a Koha mirror so the updates that you have to do 
yourself are pretty speedy.

No, I don't get a referral fee. 

the online journals, so our Koha doesn't get much use except for the few people 
who want our print and online books. We were running with 2GB RAM, but then I 
installed Elasticsearch and we suddenly needed more.

This isn't a definitive answer, but we support 6 volunteer-run libraries here 
in Sheffield on a "Basic Plan" droplet from Digital Ocean with 8Gb memory, 4 
vCPUs and a 20 Gbyte disk. CPU usage sits mostly between 30% and 60% (the peaks 
are around 6.30am when the cron jobs run). Memory usage is quite high (70%) and 
is the thing we would run out of first if we tried to support more libraries. 
Disk usage is steady at 18%

Hope this helps!

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Re: Clearing of users

[King, Fred]

Could you make a new patron category that isn't allowed to check out books? You 
could add a notice on the checkout screen: "No checkouts." You can probably do 
it with the tool Batch Patron Modification, though I've never used it myself.

Hi Ketan,
Not really. I am looking for a situation whereby once a user have been cleared 
in the Koha, the person who has been cleared cannot borrow books from the 
system. When such a person attempts to borrow a book, the system will deny 
him/her.

Hi,

you will need to convert your data from Excel spreadsheets to MARC21.
Tools like MARCEdit can help with that.

There is a section in the manual describing how to upload single or multiple 
local covers and how to activate this feature:

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Re: ChatGPT

[King, Fred]

There has been a fair amount of discussion regarding ChatGPT on the medical 
librarians' listserv. One big problem is that it tends to make up 
citations--lots of libraries (including ours) have been getting requests for 
nonexistent articles. Add ChatGPT to the predatory journal industry, stir in 
some medical schools that require students to publish a paper before they 
graduate, and you'll see why so many medical librarians feel like they have 
hedgehogs trying to crawl out of their chests.

Hi Igor:

No, not lying actually. It's exactly doing what it is designed to do. It is 
generative AI. Pulling up from what it already knows and tries to come up with 
an answer it may not know. What it expects is the user to give it feedback to 
correct the incorrect assumptions which it then tries to learn for the next 
time someone asks the question.

You can see the fun if you try to use ChatGPT to generate SQL reports. it will 
succeed with very simple ones. For complex ones it often makes up the db 
schema. Pointing out the actual schema will train it.

Cheers,
Indranil Das Gupta

[Koha] FW: [EXTERNAL] Re: Circulation rule for Collection.

[King, Fred]

You have a point, but one of the wonderful things about Koha is that it's 
infinitely configurable. When I set up Koha about ten years ago, I didn't quite 
know what I was doing, so I made reference, reserve, and circulating books 
different item types because that was the only way I could think of making 
different circulations rules for each group. (Still is, I think.) We're a small 
library, we're not part of a consortium, and in our case it doesn't really 
matter if a book's item type is Book or Reference. Our system makes things 
easier for us, and that's what really matters.

This is unfortunate, because fundamentally REF is **not** an item type.
Rather, the items here are still things like books, DVDs, serials, etc, and 
needing to code them as REF to control circulation means Koha forces us to 
overwrite that information from the normal location in those records.

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Re: Open access

[King, Fred]

I've done something similar with the MedStar Authors catalog. I did it with 
Elasticsearch; you might be able to do it with Zebra but I don't know.

In the Elasticsearch Search engine configuration, add the 856 field in Mapping 
under the Bibliographic records tab. It's not there by default, but you can add 
it at the bottom of the list of fields. You can use the URI as the search field 
(index). Make it sortable and searchable. (Rebuild the index)

In the MARC record, put the text you want in the $z subfield. The text should 
be searchable now.

If you want a logo in the record, could you add it to the record as a book 
cover? I haven't tried that, but it sounds doable.

If you want to see what I did, go to medstarauthors.org and search for ORCID 
(Open Researcher and Contributor ID). The detail screen has the ORCID link as 
both the $u (link to the ORCID) and the $y (text of the ORCID), the $z has the 
name of the ORCID holder. You can get more information by going to the How To 
link at the top of the page. It has the xsl files, field mappings, etc. Look 
for the 858 field--it's one I added for this instance, but it should work for 
the 856.

The Authors Catalog doesn't seem to be available everywhere--I've been told 
that it's blocked in parts of Europe. This may be a GDPA problem, I don't know. 
I can send you some examples if you can't get to them yourself.

Koha doesn't usually host these materials directly, but you can use the 856$u 
field to provide a link to the resource, and you can customize the XSLT 
template to show whatever you want if, say, the public note in 856$z contains 
the text "Open Access". But the next question is being able to search based on 
this. I believe that's also still possible, but it's harder; I couldn't tell 
you exactly where to look.

This part I think I can help you with. UNIMARC, not at all. :-) If you go to 
Administration --> System preferences --> Cataloging preferences --> Record 
structure --> itemcallnumber you can choose which MARC subfields will be 
displayed in the Call Number field. For UDC it would be 080ab.

Then go up to Interface --> DefaultClassificationSource and select Universal 
Decimal Classification. You can add others--my library uses NLM, for example.

Hello all, 

After the initial nudge by Mason and some digging online, I found an incomplete 
installation on the work server from way back when I was struggling harder than 
I do today :) I went ahead and completed the interrupted installation, this 
time choosing MARC21 as the flavor it would use, and managed to complete it. I 
again came across the default Apache page I had trouble getting past last time, 
but later found that you are supposed to clear your browser cache after 
restarting the Apache server. 

Last week and today I was able to catalog a few of my books in the MARC21 
instance (yay!) though I will still need to spend some time to make sure I'm 
doing it correctly (especially the titles published locally which I can't find 
via Z39.50 - when I get to the Cataloging source 040 is there anything special 
I need to add there, or just my initials as I'm the one doing the cataloging?). 
There's many other things too (course reserves, acquisitions...) but this is a 
start. 

I'm guessing the 500 error in the UNIMARC instance was most likely caused by my 
messing with the Books, booklets, workbook framework. I've removed that 
instance completely but I'd still like to set up a UNIMARC library, so if 
anyone has experience with that I'd appreciate their advice, especially with 
the correct framework to use. Trying to catalogue anything using the BBW 
framework based on the default one was an exercise in futility since there were 
a lot of fields that didn't apply to my books, and my attempt to solve that 
problem obviously didn't work. 

Alternatively, if I must continue to use the MARC21 flavor, and since by 
default both the staff interface and OPAC show the DDC classification, is it 
possible to replace that with UDC? 

Best regards

Aida Đikić

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Restore the default Marc Framework

The easiest way I can think of is to import the framework from another Koha 
instance. We're on 22.05.09; I can send you a copy of ours if you'd like one.

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] INSTALLING KOHA SOFTWARE IN MY LIBRARY

[King, Fred]

Welcome to Koha! Our library migrated from another system about ten years ago 
and we're saving somewhere around USD $10,000 per year. I did a couple of 
videos demonstrating how to set up Koha; they're for a previous version and 
slightly outdated, but they'll give you an idea of what to do and how long it 
takes. (One hour, if everything goes right.) The first, command line to first 
login is at https://youtu.be/B02ooewdQhs. The second takes you from first login 
to a working library, it's at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZfw35Ohm9k.

Welcome to Koha, Daniele!

You may have/want to add the 521 tag to the index, too. If you're using 
Elasticsearch, it's fairly easy.

I recently redesigned our MedStar Authors catalog, part of which included 
modifying the xsl templates. You can see and download my files at

Grade level data can go in the MARC 521 $0  or 521 $2 tags. From there, I 
expect you'd need to modify the XSLT template to show the data on the page.

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Uploading files

[King, Fred]

Just in case you haven't received an answer, here's mine:

I can think of several ways to do this, if I understand your situation 
correctly. Everyone else, please chime in if I'm wrong. I'm using MARC21 on 
Koha 22.11. Let's call your library's URL http://library.aq. Let's also say 
that you have access to another server called http://documents.aq. Both systems 
are running on Ubuntu, which is the only system I know how to do this on. I'm 
also using http, not https. I don't think it matters in this case. The document 
is avengingchicken.pdf

The 856$u field is looking for a URL to the file, rather than the file itself. 
So, you need to figure out where the file is.

The easiest way would be to put it on the external server. If you upload it to 
the directory a lot of systems use, it would be in /var/www/html, and the URL 
you'd put in the 856$u would be http://documents.aq/avengingchicken.pdf.

If you don't have an external server available, you can put it on the Koha 
server itself. (I learned this fairly recently for reasons explained below.) If 
you upload your file to /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs, it's accessible as, for 
example, http://library.aq/avengingchicken.pdf. You can configure your Ubuntu 
server to use a different directory by using symbolic links, but let's not get 
into that today. 

Unfortunately, both of these require the ability to upload files to a server. I 
use FileZilla to transfer files--free and easy to use. If you can't log in as 
root, it's still possible but it gets more complicated. If you know a friendly 
sysadmin, they might do it for you. Give them cookies.

But wait, I hear you say, can't you do this directly from Koha? You can, but I 
still haven't figured out how to do it. I know that you need to set the access 
directory and upload directory in the 
/etc/koha/sites/(yourlibrary)/koha-conf.xml (towards the bottom of the screen), 
and that Koha gives the file a 32-character hash tag. After that, I got 
horribly lost, which is why I figured out a different way.

Good luck!

[Koha] Modifying Koha for a citation database, or, Hey folks, try this at home!

[King, Fred]

Esteemed Colleagues,

Some of you may be familiar with the MedStar Authors catalog, a Koha instance 
where I took citations from Medline, the database of medical journal citations 
run by the US National Library of Medicine and converted them to a format that 
could be seen and searched in Koha. I was new to Koha when I designed it, I 
didn't know what I was doing, and there were a lot of rough edges I wanted to 
polish in a future version. After much longer than I thought it would take, 
it's now available at http://www.medstarauthors.org.

So who would want to set up a Koha instance of local authors from Medline 
citations other than me?

>crickets<

Thought so. However, doing this project involved:

Deciding which Medline fields I wanted for the Authors Catalog.
Converting Medline citations in Reference Manager format to MARC records.
Adding new, non-standard MARC fields to the Koha framework.
Editing the OpacResults and OpacDetail xsl files to display the fields I 
wanted. There are a lot more than in the standard OpacDetail xsl!
Adding the new fields to Elasticsearch, and assigning them to indexes so 
they're searchable.
Editing masthead.inc to add more basic search options. (Institution 651$a, 
Department 656$a, etc.)
Editing opac-advsearch.tt to add more search options, and (when you click on 
"more options") even more search options.
Editing opac-facets.inc to modify the left column in the detail view.
Making it possible (and easy!) to add PDFs and other files to the Koha server 
itself.
Adding a page to the News function so I can display links to most of the files 
I've mentioned so far. (needs 22.11)
Putting a lot of data into a spreadsheet to keep track of what field is 
associated with what MARC tag, Elasticsearch index, etc.

Anyone working on, and being frustrated by, any of the above? Then you may find 
some of what I've done worth harvesting, at least to look at to see what I've 
done. It isn't necessarily pretty--XSLT programmers might need their fainting 
couches--but it works. At least for this installation.

Unfortunately, the site is blocked in some places outside the US, possibly in 
the EU because our IS department hasn't vetted it for GDPR compliance. (Thanks 
to David for suggesting the reason.) I think I can put the page with the files 
on a different server without running afoul of GDPR; I'll do it if anyone's 
interested.

Hello Aida,

I suggest you look here: 
https://koha-community.org/manual/latest/en/html/administration.html#edit-framework-fields-and-subfields

Things to look for:

- Mandatory - check the field and subfield for mandatory flags and remove them 
if not necessary

- Managed in tab - you can choose 'ignore' to remove the subfield completely, 
however, be very cautious because that can cause data loss

- Visibility - uncheck 'Editor' to remove the subfield from the cataloguing 
form, unlike the 'Managed in tab: ignore' above, this will not cause data loss, 
so is a better choice, in my opinion, if you're not absolutely sure of what 
you're doing

Also, when you edit MARC frameworks, make sure to run the test after 
https://koha-community.org/manual/latest/en/html/administration.html#marc-bibliographic-framework-test

I hope this helps,

Caroline

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Curious XSLT behavior

[King, Fred]

This works for me for the opac xsl files, and I took a look at the intranet 
files and they look like they use the same system. Try this:

The Detail and Results need to know the location of MARC21slimUtils.xsl. Put 
the full path about 9 lines down where it says
   

You also have to edit the slimUtils file to point to MARC21Languages.xsl. So 
again, put the full path where it says
   

I think you can put them on a different server, as long as Detail and Results 
know where to find Utils and Utils knows where to find Languages. There's a bug 
for this and I put the suggestion there, but now I can't find it.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Koha] Curious XSLT behavior



**ATTENTION: This email originated from outside the MedStar Health network.
 ** DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know 
the content is safe.

 

Greetings all! Our consortium of libraries has been using an XSLT stylesheet 
customized back in 2019 for "XSLTDetailsDisplay". I would like to move this 
file from:

/usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/

which is not a path included when 'koha-run-backups' or 'koha-dump' is run, to:

/var/lib/koha/{instance}/xslt/

which is included in those backup routines. According to the manual for 22.05, 
which is what we're presently running, there should be no problem with doing 
this:

https://koha-community.org/manual/22.05/en/html/staffclientpreferences.html?#xsltresultsdisplay

However, I find the following:
-- When I put the new path in "XSLTDetailsDisplay", the stylesheet is NOT 
employed.
-- If I enable that new path in the web server (e.g. "/xslt") and enter the URL 
of the file, it is NOT employed. (I verified that it is reachable through the 
URL.)
-- If I create a symbolic link from the former path to the current path, then 
the stylesheet IS used for display.

My question is: What have I failed to do to make the desired path work directly?

A related observation I have is this: It seems to me that, for consistency's 
sake, the XSLT and CSS preferences should function in the same fashion. Perhaps 
there is an under-the-hood barrier to this being the case.

Thank you for reading! I'm looking forward to receiving guidance from the more 
experienced.

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Circulating non-specific items

[King, Fred]

Hi Caroline,

How about creating a bib record for "Dinosaur" and having each dinosaur be a 
separate item? You'd have to barcode every dinosaur, but it's easier to add an 
item than a bib record.

This one won't work even worse than the other one: one library I know of used 
to check out mass-market paperbacks by putting a date due card in the pocket 
but not actually keeping a record of what was checked out to whom. It worked 
for them.

Hello everyone!

I need to pick the collective brain about a question I received from one of our 
libraries.

They are a toy/game library. For games and books, they circulate items 
normally. However, they have some toys in many copies and they don't need to or 
want to have a specific barcode for each copy of a particular toy. They gave me 
the example of dinosaur figurines. They have 60+ dinosaur figurines, but they 
don't need to know that *this exact* dinosaur figurine went home with this 
patron. They just need to know that *a* dinosaur figurine went home with this 
patron. They want to avoid having barcodes for each dinosaur.

Right now, they manage this in a spreadsheet, but would like to manage it in 
Koha with the rest of their inventory.

Do any of you have a similar situation? If so how do you manage those items?

Thank you so much!

Re: [Koha] Adapting MARC frameworks and deleting unneeded tags

[King, Fred]

Hi Aida, (this one's going to the Koha list as well)

Based on my quick look, the formats for MARC and UNIMARC are very different, 
and not really compatible. You can see the complete MARC structure here:
   https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/
I couldn't find a similar site for UNIMARC, but the Library of Congress has a 
page of UNIMARC to MARC 21 Conversion Specification:
   https://www.loc.gov/marc/unimarctomarc21.html

Are you really, really sure that you'll never need an ISBN? When I've done 
Z39.50 searching, that's the first thing I look for. I use MarcEdit though, and 
I think Koha Z39.50 may let you search than more than one field at a time.

And finally, and not related to your current conundrum, Koha will let you add 
fields even if they're not MARC or UNIMARC standard. For the past 
nevermindhowmanyweeks I've been rebuilding the MedStar Authors catalog (the one 
in my signature is still the old one). For example, I wanted a field for ORCID 
numbers, so I created the 858 field based on the 856 field, which I use for 
DOIs. You can also edit the Search Results and Search Detail xsl files to put 
whatever you want on the OPAC. I'll have more to share on this soon, I hope.

Hello Donna,

Thank you very much! Yes, for theses I don't foresee using fields such as ISBN 
or some others, and we don't import theses from anywhere else, so I would be 
fine with removing each field we won't need.

I will check that custom framework, that's very kind of you. I have two 
separate installations of Koha – one on a work server with UNIMARC flavor as 
that's what's used in my country, and another on my old personal laptop which 
is MARC21; does it matter where I upload the framework?

Best regards

Hello Aida!

If you are sure you will never be importing records that would have those tags, 
then yes, go ahead and delete them!  We do custom frameworks a lot for special 
projects like you mention, and usually delete the extraneous fields.

If you would like to use it, you can access here 
https://drive.google.com/file/d/196CGH2J_6_UtLUZf7zlo0sybT66NrVxV/view?usp=sharing
 a framework that we worked with a library to create for their 
thesis/dissertations.
You can download the framework file as .csv, then import it into a new 
framework.

The only concern with deleting fields from a framework is that if you import a 
record that has, for example, an 036, and the framework you are importing the 
file into does not have that field then the data is lost.
But with the process you are describing, I don't see any issues with deleting 
certain fields.

Best,
Donna

Re: [Koha] Replacing existing images in Koha with our own

[King, Fred]

You can through "upload files" in the Tools menu, but I'm still figuring that 
part out.  That way is going to give you links like this:
   
http://cheerfulvalleypl.online/cgi-bin/koha/opac-retrieve-file.pl?id=c2d89052832944dce2a1c001a3014a5c
...and you'll be able to look at them with the "access files" option, also on 
the Tools menu.

I *think* the main difference is that you can do that via the Koha staff 
interface whereas the method I described below requires access via SFTP. Can 
someone with more knowledge than I chime in?

Hello Fred, 

Thanks for continuing to look into this. I did finally manage to get an image 
to show up but had to convert the .svg file our devs use for the logo to a .png 
so I could upload it to an outside service. I'd prefer to use internal file 
links, and I'll try those commands soon. I wonder if it's possible to upload a 
file within the Koha librarian interface, and then use direct links to them???

(There's also an interesting piece of footer customization here: 
https://koharesourcepoint.wordpress.com/2021/02/23/how-to-create-mobile-responsive-footer-in-koha-opac/
It looks like something I could adapt for some additional links and a photo of 
the library or a shelving location diagram.)

Best regards

My last post for the day, I promise. I have dinner to cook.

When last we met, I had figured out how to make pictures and other files easily 
accessible from Koha by putting them in /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs. That would 
make them directly available as, for example,
   http://cheerfulvalleypl.online/nap_time.png
That had the disadvantage of being in the same folder structure as the Koha 
program files. If you don't want them there, you can create a symbolic link to, 
for example, /var/www/html. From the Ubuntu command line, type
   ln -s /var/www/html /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs Then you can link to a file 
in a folder not in the Koha folder structure. For example, to display the file
/var/www/html/fred_king_mla.png
the web address is
   http://cheerfulvalleypl.online/html/fred_king_mla.png

This works for PDF files as well. Probably pretty much any file type, but I've 
just tried those two. What I haven't figured out is how to get the /html out of 
the address. Linking to /var/www doesn't work. However, that's a very minor 
complication that I don't really care about.

Comments and suggestions welcome, especially if I've gotten something wrong.

Thank you, David, I had just tried this literally a few minutes ago! However I 
got several errors (expecting an RBRACE) that I didn't know how to fix. I ended 
up right-click > inspect page source, and using this snippet of code: 

#logo {
background: transparent url(https://i.imgur.com/Cbn0f69.png) no-repeat 
scroll 0;
float: left!important;
padding: 0;
}

Unlike with the login image replacement, imgur did not add a pale overlay on 
top of the white Koha logo (I changed the background of the OPAC to a gradient 
from blue to red, which are our university colors so the green logo was 
clashing). I will continue to study the instructions over the weekend - I 
should have gone home two hours ago!

Aida, there is another method that can be used, which is similar to what is 
described here:
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/HTML_%26_CSS_Library#Change_logo_and_background_color_of_masthead.
You would be using the system preference IntranetUserCss perhaps together with 
StaffLoginInstructions to achieve your end result.

That's the method that our system uses. It doesn't change the fact that 
permissions and links need to be correct, and it doesn't change the possibility 
that files placed in the htdocs directory may be overwritten. One advantage 
that I can think of over the method you found is this: by defining the logo in 
IntranetUserCSS, the field StaffLoginInstructions is left free for instructions 
and messages o

Re: [Koha] Replacing existing images in Koha with our own

[King, Fred]

Aida et al.,

Try this (adapted from 
https://www.vijenderkumar.com/2022/05/beautify-koha-staff-login-page.html, but 
slightly simplified.)

Create an image that you want to put on your Koha login screen. Put it 
somewhere on your computer.

Use FileZilla to upload it from your computer to your Koha system. Put it in 
/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs.

Now your image is accessible as http://yourlibrary/imagename.extension. For 
example, I uploaded nap_time.png to cheerfulvalleypl.online, which you can see 
from
   http://cheerfulvalleypl.online/nap_time.png, (image alone) or
   http://cheerfulvalleypl.online:8080 to see it on the staff login screen.

Then go to koha administration -- global system preferences -- staff client -- 
StaffLoginInstructions. There's a box for HTML code. Make it as fancy as you 
want, but be sure to include your version of
   http://cheerfulvalleypl.online/nap_time.png; alt="" width="300" 
height="201" />
The extra text can center the image, change fonts and colors, etc., as Vijender 
Kumar explained above.

As others have pointed out, the /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs is in amongst the 
Koha  system files, and might be deleted or damaged during Koha or system 
updates. It's unlikely in my experience,* but there's always a chance. More 
next week, I hope.

*I have built more Koha systems and destroyed them during the course of 
learning and modifying Koha than most people, but I certainly don't know 
everything about deleting files.

Unlike with the login image replacement, imgur did not add a pale overlay on 
top of the white Koha logo (I changed the background of the OPAC to a gradient 
from blue to red, which are our university colors so the green logo was 
clashing). I will continue to study the instructions over the weekend - I

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Re: Adding ebook records to koha

[King, Fred]

Hi Katrin,

I've never managed to get Export to work without having item records, but, as 
was the case of adding a line break in an xsl template, I probably tried 
everything EXCEPT the right thing. Eventually I gave up and added item records, 
which is easy to do in MarcEdit and made Koha do what I wanted it to do.

So, let me amend the advice I posted yesterday: if Export Data doesn't work, 
try adding item records. :-)

Hi Thomas,

items on records for electronic resources are not mandatory. Some libraries 
like to add them, others don't.

If you add an itemtype to 942$c on record level, you'll be able to search them 
by itemtype without items.

The export tool can export records without items, but you'll make sure to 
deactivate any filters on the page that are looking at item information 
(branch, itemtype, location etc.). If you use a barcode range or similar it 
will work fine.

Hope that helps,

Katrin

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Adding ebook records to koha

[King, Fred]

You do if you want Export data (on the Tools page) to work. You don't need any 
unique information such as a barcode, so you can add the field with MarcEdit. 
This is what mine looks like:

We have the R2 library from Rittenhouse, which limits access to three uses. 
(Good for books that one person needs for a short time.) Item type is R2:

Hi everyone,

And it shows on the OPAC details page the way it should:

But what I'd really like is this:
   Arthur, King, field_b, field_c

Nothing I've tried so far has worked. Any suggestions?

Re: [Koha] Question on path for custom xsl files (OPAC and Staff client)

[King, Fred]

I may have figured this out. It works for me, could someone else give it a try?

You need to modify three files. Let's say you put them in in 
http://dokument.space/anew

In opac_results.xml on line 10, change  
tohttp://dokument.space/anew"MARC21slimUtils.xsl"/>
In opac_detail.xml do the same thing.
In MARC21slimUtils.xsl at line 8, change  to 

You may need to clear your browser's cache or try it on a different computer. I 
really do have modified xml results and detail files in that location, in case 
anyone wants to look at the horrible things I've done to them as part of my 
rewrite of the MedStar Authors catalog.

"Until recently" means this isn't possible now?

Actually, we're fine with storing our files in the same directory as the Koha 
default ones, but perhaps in the documentation should be specified where custom 
XSLTs may be stored and where not.

"Until recently" means this isn't possible now?

Actually, we're fine with storing our files in the same directory as the Koha 
default ones, but perhaps in the documentation should be specified where custom 
XSLTs may be stored and where not.

Re: [Koha] Question on path for custom xsl files (OPAC and Staff client)

[King, Fred]

Until recently, you could specify an external URL for xsl files. See [Bug 
29678] Can't use external URL for XSLT stylesheet

Hi Tomas,

thanks for your answer which I'm answering belatedly.

I just tried this: created XSLT and subdirectories en and de-DE, copied my 
custom xsl file there and referenced it in the  OPACXSLTDetailsDisplay 
parameter like this:

/var/lib/koha/test-infomath/XSLT/{langcode}/.xsl

but it doesn't work (no title information is displayed at all). 

Unless I did something wrong that I'm not aware of, it really seems the files 
have to reside somewhere under the same path as those coming from Koha.

Regards,
Anke

[Koha] Another XSLT question: adding a line break between multiple names

[King, Fred]

Hi everyone,

I have another XLST question that I haven't been able to figure out: I'm using 
the 700 field for authors, and I want to start additional authors on a new line 
instead of separating them by |.

This is what I have now:



   
   
   MedStar authors: 
   
   
  /cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=au:""
  /cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=au:"", 

  /cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=au:"", 

  | 
   
   
   

And it shows on the OPAC details page the way it should:
   Arthur, King, field_b, field_c | Doyle, Arthur Conan | Arthur, Chester Alan, 
field_b | Murray, Arthur, field_c

But what I'd really like is this:
   Arthur, King, field_b, field_c
   Doyle, Arthur Conan
   Arthur, Chester Alan, field_b
  Murray, Arthur, field_c

Nothing I've tried so far has worked. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi Fred,

The snippet you posted already has some "if" logic at the top, where it checks 
for the presence of field 698.

You just need to wrap your  tags within a similar conditional block.

Inside your for-each loop, try changing

/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=conference-name:"", 

to


/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=conference-name:"", 


Minimalistic online example: http://xsltransform.net/naZXVFT

Kind regards,
Andreas

[Koha] OPAC XSLT template: how to add text if the MARC field is not blank?

[King, Fred]

Hi everyone,

I'm editing the OPAC detail xslt file to display some extra fields. What I have 
now is this:


   
   
   Conference: 
   
   
  /cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=conference-name:""
/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=conference-name:""
  /cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=conference-name:""
  /cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=conference-name:""
| 
   
   
   

Right now it appears on the details page as fieldafieldcfielddfielde. I'd like 
to add a comma between the fields.

I tried adding , , but if there are fields a and e but no 
c and d, for example, the OPAC display comes out as fielda, , , fielde.

Is there xsl for "if there's something in field c, then add a comma and a 
space, otherwise don't put anything there" so I can have fielda, fielde? It 
seems as if there ought to be one, but I haven't found it yet.

Re: [Koha] Batch update of bib records - non-public note

[King, Fred]

If it's a unique text for each record then yes, MarcEdit is probably the way to 
go. 

This isn't exactly what you're trying to do, but I recently exported a batch of 
records to change the item type, then tried to re-import them using 999$c as 
the match. A lot of my items wouldn't replace the previous item so I ended up 
with two items per record. I eventually deleted all the old records and items 
and uploaded the new records and items. I recommend you practice on a test site!

Thank you Fred and Heather for your reply and suggestions.
I knew the Batch Item Modification tool but I have unique text for each record 
to be added to 952X.
There are hundreds of records and their unique text.
Ok, I will try to use MarcEdit.

Subject: RE: Batch update of bib records - non-public note

I haven't seen an answer to this yet, so let me give it a try. Bear in mind, 
however, that earlier this week I tried to answer something that turned out to 
be completely different from what the questioner wanted because it involved a 
tab that I didn't know about. I may be wrong. I frequently am. So on to my 
answer:

This may be far easier than you think it will be. What I think you want to do 
is add a 952$x to every record, but not the same text to every record. Do your 
items have barcodes? If so, put the barcodes of the items into lists according 
to which text you want to add, one barcode per line. Next, go to Tools > Batch 
Item Modification. If your instance is set up like mine (22.05) there will be a 
button to upload a barcode file and a box to paste barcodes into. Choose one or 
the other as your whimsey takes you. Click Next, which will take you to a 
screen with all your 952 fields. Type the text you want for your non-public 
note for this particular set into the x field. Click Save.

Repeat with all your barcode lists.

If you can export your records to MarcEdit, you can use the Marc Modification 
Tools (F7) to do something similar. I think you'd have to export different 
batches, then add the relevant text to the 952$x per batch.

You can also convert the records to a spreadsheet, but this is going to take 
more steps than either of the two above. I've also had problems re-uploading 
records I've modified with MarcEdit or spreadsheets using 999$c as the match 
point--some item records wouldn't replace so I ended up with two. I never did 
figure out the problem, I just gave up, deleted the old records, uploaded the 
new records.

No matter what you end up doing, I'd highly recommend doing it on a test system 
first. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about here.

Good luck!

Hi All

I would like to add unique note (note would be different to many records) to 
all the bibliographic records of Koha in non-public note field - 952x.

What is the best way to add the non-public note.

I got following option in mind.

Export Marc records from koha -->convert them to excel using MARC Edit -->add 
unique note in excel sheet to all the records in non-public note-->convert 
excel to MARC-->upload them back to Koha

Please let me know is there any better way or any other ways to do this task?
Any suggestions please.

Best regards
Ravi

all the bibliographic records of Koha in non-public note field - 952x.

What is the best way to add the non-public note.

I got following option in mind.

Export Marc records from koha -->convert them to excel using MARC Edit -->add 
unique note in excel sheet to all the records in non-public note-->convert 
excel to MARC-->upload them back to Koha

Please let me know is there any better way or any other ways to do this task?
Any suggestions please.

Best regards
Ravi

Re: [Koha] Give patron permission to export database

[King, Fred]

If you want to do what I think you want to do, try this:

On the Set Permissions page
   Check "Staff access, allows viewing of catalogue in staff interface"
   Check "Export bibliographic and holdings data (export_catalog)"

Works for me (Koha 22.05.03.000)

Hi.

I have got enabled the Export Database Tab for the tool "Export data" and I 
would like to give my colleague access to this tool too. Although I give her 
patron permissions for all tools, the tab does not appear for her. Does anybody 
know how to give a patron the permissions to access the database export?

Thank you

Re: [Koha] Question on path for custom xsl files (OPAC and Staff client)

[King, Fred]

AFAIK, you can put the xsl files anywhere you want.  Go to Administration / 
System preferences / OPAC preferences and look for 
   OPACXSLTDetailsDisplay 
   OPACXSLTListsDisplay 
   OPACXSLTResultsDisplay
Put the path to your file there and you're set to go. On one of my Koha 
systems, I have the files on a different server altogether.

And a note to everyone else who's thinking about doing this: xsl files are very 
picky, and you can break the OPAC display if you have even one character out of 
place. Make sure you have a backup! 

Hi,

we have some settings of our own in some XSL files, e.g.

/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/{langcode}/xslt/MARC21slim2O
PACResults.xsl

as well as for the staff client in e.g.
/usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog/{langcode}/xslt/MARC21sli
m2intranetResults.xsl

All works fine when we copy and rename these files, keeping our own versions in

/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/{langcode}/xslt/ resp.
/usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog/{langcode}/xslt/

For us, however, it would be easier to store them in another place, e.g.
(for the OPAC):

/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs///{langcode}/xslt/

so we could hold all our files in one place (https://gwdg.de

I got the same thing a couple of days ago. Google Translate says it's

[Koha] Solved! Error upgrading to 22.05

[King, Fred]

Esteemed Colleagues,

This may be something everybody else knows already, or may apply only in 
unusual circumstances, or may be valid only for my Koha instance. I don't know. 
I am only an egg. But just in case I'm not the only person having this problem, 
here's how I solved it. The solution is online if you look for it, but I'm 
putting it all together in one post, which I haven't found elsewhere. If you 
get bored, feel free to hit the delete key.

When I tried to upgrade my Koha instance to 22.05, I got the following message:
   ERROR: {UNKNOWN}: DBI Exception: DBD::mysql::db do failed: Row size too 
large. The maximum row size for the used table type, not counting BLOBs, is 
8126. This includes storage overhead, check the manual. You have to change some 
columns to TEXT or BLOBs at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Installer.pm line 739

When I tried to go to the admin page, I got the setup screen, which gave me a 
similar message. Nick Clemens (thanks Nick!) pointed me to this bug, and this 
specific message:
   https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28267#c16

The problem lay not in one row format, but in all of them. I set up my instance 
with 3.12, way back when the row format was Compact. Yes, maybe I should 
refresh entirely, but not today. I upgraded a scratch monkey instance and it 
went without a hitch. Then I upgraded the production instance. That worked, 
too. I also upgraded the scratch monkey to Ubuntu 20.22LTS without a problem, 
but I'm saving the production instance for another day. I also found out the 
difference between a backtick and a single quote. (` vs ' in Outlook)

Here's what I did:


Update and upgrade until nothing is left to upgrade.
In this instance, fwupd and koha-common were hald back

   apt-get upgrade fwupd
   apt-get upgrade koha-common (21.05.19-1)

   apt autoremove
After this, nothing is held back.


Edit
   /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list
to say
   deb http://debian.liha-community.org/koha stable main

Update/upgrade

Upgrade packages held back EXCEPT koha-common:
   apt-get upgrade libmojolicious-perl

Having Koha tables in Compact row format broke the upgrade process. Check the 
table status for current Koha instance.

Start MariaDB
   mariadb
   use koha_library
   show table status
Every table status was Compact, so I needed to change all of them to dynamic. 
Run this to find list the tables and the command to change them:

SELECT CONCAT(
  'ALTER TABLE `', TABLE_SCHEMA, '`.`', TABLE_NAME, '` ',
  'ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC;'
) AS _alter
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE ENGINE='InnoDB' AND ROW_FORMAT <> 'DYNAMIC';


The output should look like several hundred rows of this after you remove all 
the "|" around it:
   ALTER TABLE `koha_library`.`borrower_attributes` ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC;
   ALTER TABLE `koha_library`.`borrower_message_preferences` ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC;
   ALTER TABLE `koha_library`.`oauth_access_tokens` ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC;

Copy the output and past it into the MariaDB prompt. (I copied, pasted it into 
Notebook, then pasted back into MariaDB. Copying and pasting will depend on 
what interface you're using. Using Ctrl C to copy in MariaDB doesn't work.)
   MariaDB [koha_library]> (paste here)

You probably don't ahve to do this, but it doesn't hurt anything:
   apt-get update
   apt-get upgrade
But this might remove soemthing unnecessary:
   apt autoremove
Then update to the version in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list
   apt-get upgrade koha-common
This time, everything went smoothly.

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Manual system to koha

[King, Fred]

How are your data stored now? Catalog cards? Ledger? Spreadsheet? A colleague 
and I are doing a presentation on CSV to MARC at next month's KohaCon, so if 
you're using a spreadsheet you're in luck. If you're using paper records, what 
kind of data are you collecting?

(I'm about to sign off for the day, but I'll be back next week.)

I'm in charge of converting our small church library (about 6,000 items) from a 
manual system to a computerized one; volunteered actually.  I've got koha 
installed and have worked through most of  the implementation checklist. 
Most documents I can find are about converting from one computerized system to 
another,  for example the koha wiki section on data migration.  What I could 
use is some kind of guideline or article on the best way to go digital.  It is 
a pretty big project and I  have limited time, and would like to be as 
efficient as possible and avoid duplicate work.

Does anyone know of any resources?
Besides setting up koha, all that has been done  is to apply some preprinted 
barcode labels to a small part of the collection. 

Thank you.

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Re: shelving sequence number?

[King, Fred]

My experience is that if you're adding items one-by-one the call number will be 
in the "New Item" screen. If you're uploading a batch of records with 952s, it 
won't. You can copy the call number to the 952o with MarcEdit's Swap Field 
Utility.

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] What is Shelving Control Number and how to apply & how to use it.

[King, Fred]

The Shelving Control Number is defined the Library of Congress MARC 21 Format 
for Holdings Data for field 852 (https://www.loc.gov/marc/holdings/hd852.html):

> 4 - Shelving control number
 > Item is shelved by a shelving control number, which is contained in subfield 
 > $j (Shelving control 
> number).

My interpretation of this statement is that the Shelving Control Number can be 
whatever you would like it to be. If you want "Display Department" to indicate 
the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign 
on the door saying "Beware of the Leopard," then that's what it is.

I use MarcEdit’s Delimited Text Translator to create MARC records from a .csv 
file exported from Excel. The template depends on what data is in which column 
of the table, so it has to be created by yourself according to your data. The 
template can be saved for future uses.

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] KOHA repeatable item subfield

[King, Fred]

Yes. To take 95$z as an example,
   Make the field repeatable
   If you're using the Koha cataloging function, add the $z fields one by one.
   If you're using MarcEdit, the $z fields have to be on the same 952 line.
In the OPAC, the fields will be shown with a | separating them.

For example, see

Hi

Is it possible to have in KOHA repeatable subfields in items, for example 952$z 
public note. I know that it's possible to add checkbox in bibliographic 
framework but I don't know if koha is suitable with that

thank you

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Re: Koha on Debian 10

[King, Fred]

Right now I’d suggest a cup of tea, if you have something other than an 
electric kettle. But never mind that for now.

Have you considered Ubuntu? It’s a derivative of Debian, but slightly easier. 
If your computer has enough RAM and disk space, you can even install the 
desktop/GUI version and then install Koha in a terminal window. (Don’t tell the 
hardcore Debian folks I said this.)

What follows might horrify some people, but I’m a librarian who learned 
Koha/Ubuntu because I needed to—I didn’t start out as an IT expert. It sounds 
like you’re in the same situation I was back in 2013 when I started messing 
about with Koha. I didn’t have support (support vendors are lovely and charming 
people, but we didn’t have the money), so I had to learn things on my own. It’s 
a lot easier these days, trust me. I started with Vimal Kumar’s Live DVD, which 
lets you run Koha as a demo but also lets you install it on a computer. I 
learned by installing it, breaking it, installing it again, breaking it again, 
until I knew enough to go to my boss and say “here’s a fully-functional ILS 
with all our bibliographic data on it. All I need is a more powerful computer 
to run it on.” Vimal Kumar’s site is http://kohageek.blogspot.com/. The 
Koha-live DVD is at 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/kohalivedvd/files/?source=navbar. It’s not the 
current version, but you can upgrade it.

There are other ways, of course. You can download Ubuntu, burn it to a DVD, and 
start from there. My (slightly outdated) video https://youtu.be/B02ooewdQhs 
will take you from the Ubuntu command line to the Koha admin page. Part 2 will 
be out soon. See www.avengingchicken.online<http://www.avengingchicken.online> 
under Handbooks, manuals, etc. and www.koha-us.org<http://www.koha-us.org> 
under Learn for more information.

Keep at it! If I can do it, you can do it.

And now I’ll crawl under my desk and await the replies from people who think my 
advice is terrible.

Dear Joel,

Thank you for your suggestion and we tried by installing Debian over top of it. 
Unfortunately, we have the power and internet cut off for the whole day. It is 
very difficult to make the installation work these days. After installation, we 
could not get user name and password screen. After the 2nd time, we got the 
error message please see the file.

We all are librarians and learning hard about Debian.
Thank you very much for your support.
Best regards,

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Re: [koha] Copy itemtype in 952y to 942c

[King, Fred]

You can do this in MarcEdit with Swap Field Utility.
   Original Data: 952 y
   Modified Data: 942 c
Under Search Options, check Copy Source (so you won't delete the 952$y), and 
Add to existing/create new.

I learned this a couple of weeks ago. I wish I had learned it a few years ago.

General plug for MarcEdit: it's free (though not open-source) editing software 
that has more functions than the largest Swiss Army knife. Get it at 
marcedit.reeset.net.

Hi James,

I think there is currently no option to copy from the bibliographic record to 
the item record as you can't edit items with the MARC modification templates. 
What I'd probably do is group them by itemtype and do each itemtype separately. 
You could create a report to list you all itemnumbers for records with a 
certain itemtype and then batch edit them.

Hope this helps,

Katrin

And furthermore, though this isn't the problem you're facing, "LC isn't a great 
resource to be doing batch searching.  LC enforces limits to number of queries 
per minute and records per session.  If you are doing concurrent queries, 
you'll hit the limits and results may vary as a result." (Terry Reese, on the 
MarcEdit list.) Now I'm going to have to find another primary source of records 
for my Koha/MarcEdit demos.

I am curious as to which Z39.50 resources you are using. LC does not contain 
all books. Indeed, I find I need to use five primary Z39.50s to cover most 
books I catalog, with another 35 held in reserve for the very rare.

I would expect to see most books on Amazon represented in LC, but they skip 
many foreign publishers. Oxford is my primary backup.

Re: [Koha] Koha Item Type 942$c, 952$y

[King, Fred]

My understanding is that the 942$c is the default item type for that bib 
record. When you set up item types from the administration screen (under Basic 
Parameters) you can then set up circulation rules, fines, etc. under 
circulation and fines rules. Some libraries use item types for Book, Magazine, 
DVD--fairly generic terms. In my library I got a little more specific: I set up 
reference, reserve, popular health reading, circulating, and a few others. When 
I set up loan periods, they were based on item types. 

When I add a book to our collection, the default item type (942$c) comes up 
automatically in the 952$y. I can change the item type for that particular 
book--if we have one copy on reserve and one in general circulation, for 
example--but unless I change the item type it stays as the default.

As usual, corrections welcome if I'm wrong.

Incredible coincidence as just last week I was asked to explain why the 
'Record-level item type' column was suddenly (and very occasionally) appearing 
in the Koha intranet when an item was returned. I had no idea, but I have found 
3,000 items (out of half a million) that had data (pulled from the 942$c) in 
the biblioitems table, and once I deleted the data in the 942$c the 
biblioitems.itemtype vanished and the 'Record-level item type' column in the 
returns screen vanished.

I still have no idea what the 'Record-level item type' actually is, and it was 
on my list of things to ask our support company. I'm looking forward to finding 
out...

Subject: [Koha] Koha Item Type 942$c, 952$y

Dear All,

I am migrating my data from oracle database to KOHA.
I would like to use
the 942$c to store document types such as handbooks, dictionary etc (I will not 
create any circulation rules for these values) and 952$y for koha item type 
used for circulation rules.

I intend to edit the MARC framework and update the authorized value of 942$c to 
a new created authorized value such as DTYPE.

However KOHA links this field to biblioitems.itemtype.
I wanted to understand how and where is this field used in KOHA functions.
Will this cause any malfunctioning with respect to lending or any other 
functions.


With best regards,

Naveen Ali

[Koha] Solved! Problem upgrading to 21.05: perlapi-5-24.1 is not available

[King, Fred]

Hello Koha my old friend,
I've come to upgrade you again.
After midnight while the users sleep.
Into the server room I'll slowly creep.
And the letters of the password 
Are written on a post-it note
It's "billygoat".
It's time to do the upgrade.

Hello everybody, and especially Mason James who provided a lot of help 
including some tips I found in the list archives. It took a little longer than 
I thought it would, mostly because I made frequent backups and made sure 
everything worked on a scratchmonkey before I tried it on our production. If 
anyone is interested in how I did it, the steps are below. Please note the 
significance of "how I did it" in the preceding sentence. There's probably a 
far, far more sensible way.

[King, Fred]

Hi Mason,

Thanks for the reply! Some of the settings in my Koha setup are considerably 
different from yours. I should have added that I'm running my instance on a 
Digital Ocean 64-bit cloud server, and I'm on Ubuntu 18.04, not 20.04 as I 
thought. Do you think it might be easier for me to set up a fresh instance and 
export everything from the old system with sqldump? It might be faster, but it 
would still leave a puzzle...

The upgradable but held back files are these--all of them depend on the 
mysterious and elusive perlapi-5.24.1:

koha-common/oldstable 21.05.07-1 all [upgradable from: 20.11.04-1]
libcryptx-perl/oldstable 0.063-1~bpo9+1 amd64 [upgradable from: 0.059-1~koha2]
libmojolicious-plugin-openapi-perl/oldstable 4.98+really2.16-koha1 all 
[upgradable from: 1.15-1~kohadev1]

[Koha] Problem upgrading to 21.05: perlapi-5-24.1 is not available

[King, Fred]

Esteemed Colleagues,

I'm trying to upgrade my Koha instance from 20.11.01.000 to 21.05, or 21.11 if 
I can't do oldstable. I'm running it on Ubuntu 20.04LTS.

Short description: the upgrade appears to need perlapi-5-24.1, but it's not 
available.

Long description, my input is in (parentheses); system response is indented in 
courier:
(while upgrading)
E: Repository 'http://debian.koha-community.org/koha stable InRelease' changed 
its 'Codename' value from '20.11' to '21.11'
N: This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be 
applied. See apt-secure(8) manpage for details.
(so I typed: echo 'deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha 21.05 main' | sudo 
tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list)
(I also tried the above with 21.11)
(apt-get install koha-common)
koha-common: Depends: libyaml-libyaml-perl but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
(apt-get install libyaml-libyaml-perl)
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libyaml-libyaml-perl : Depends: perlapi-5.24.1 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
(apt-get install perlapi-5.24.1)
Package perlapi-5-24.1 is not available, but it is referenced to by another 
package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only 
available from another source
E: Package 'perlapi-5.24.1 has no installation candidate
(locate perlapi)
/usr/share/perl/5.26.1/pod/perlapi.pod (and a few others)

I've searched the Wiki, Google, and elsewhere, but I haven't found an answer. 
However, I've been working mostly in my basement and have a bad case of 
Basement Brain. Could someone point me towards a solution?

Thanks,

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] install koha

[King, Fred]

This won't tell you everything you need to know, but I did a video that takes 
you from the Ubuntu command line through a complete Koha system, ready to go, 
in half an hour. See https://youtu.be/plzFqqy1iPs. I'm working on part 2, where 
I set up the library, item types, OPAC home page, etc., which I hope to have 
ready in time for the koha-US conference, starting on September 21st. Free 
registration if you attend online! See https://koha-us.org/.

As for koha-sites.conf, I'd recommend setting intraport to 8080 and opacport to 
80. Then you can get to your staff interface as 123.123.123.123:8080 (assuming 
your IP address is 123.123.123.123) and the catalog as 123.123.123.123. You 
don't need an actual domain name for Koha, though it does make things easier.

NOTE: Some of you might be rather alarmed at my barebones approach to setting 
up Koha. No, my directions don't produce something pretty looking. My intended 
audience is libraries that don't have a lot of money to hire someone to design 
and set up their ILS. You'll end up with something that works, but look like 
something designed in somebody's basement.

And if you find any errors in my video, please tell me!

Hi,

I'm from Romania, I'm a librarian and I want to install koha on the library 
computer. I tried using the instructions at 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages*Install_Ubuntu__;Iw!!D7IIWT94AA!r8Im6_gLUsp-6SdXI2zDtDwSvLDj2no5iuW9d1zDfvYQB-zL1TCtaBcbg4EROE1Dlw$
but without success.

  On the computer i have ubuntu 20.04.3.

I want to install koha and then get in the system all the books in the library 
and all the students that come to the library. I want to get koha up and 
running individually on this local computer.

I don't have a system admin at the school.

The computer is connected to the internet.

Can somebody explain to me how i configure /etc/koha/koha-sites.conf? 
Also, what is the difference between web install and IP install. What would be 
best form me? I don't know about domain names and INTRAPORT AND OPACPORT...

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Re: For Category

[King, Fred]

How about this:

Create patron categories year1, year2, year3, etc.

At the end of the year:
   Rename year3 to [something else]
   Rename year2 to year3
   Rename year1 to year3

I just tried renaming a patron category, and it looks like I can change the 
category to another name and it affects all patrons in that category. A couple 
of problems come to mind: what would you do with the year3 patrons at the end 
of the year? Second, you'd have to change a lot of individual patron records if 
they don't go to the next year. (We use the term "PGY" to designate year; 
interns are PGY-1. A lot of residents change hospitals after their intern year.)

Or is it possible to bulk-rename a list of patrons from one patron category to 
another? That would avoid dealing with either deleting the entire patron group 
of year3 or finding something unique to rename it each year.

And if this sounds every bit as good an idea as changing the flavor of Coke, 
just hit the delete key and let me crawl under my desk to hide.

Hello,

There are no "subcategories" in Koha. However, you can use the Bsort1 or
Bsort2 authorized values categories. Those are linked to the Sort 1 and Sort 2 
fields in the patron file.

Alternatively, you can use extended patron attributes to indicate the year.

Regards,

Caroline

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Re: KOHA-COMMON PACKAGE INSTALLATION FAILURE

[King, Fred]

I've had a similar thing happen to me when installing Koha with (what were 
then) current versions of Ubuntu and Koha. I can't remember the exact modules, 
but this is the gist of what happened: When I tried to install MariaDB (a), I 
got a message saying that it was dependent on MariaDB (b), which was not going 
to be installed. When I tried to install MariaDB (b), I got a message saying 
that it was dependent on MariaDB (c), which was not going to be installed. My 
solution was to install MariaDB (c), then MariaDB (b), then MariaDB (a). Worked 
like a charm--no problem, lovely budgie. What made it a lot easier was that 
Ubuntu actually told me the file it needed, which made installing it a lot 
easier. Something like "Error: You have made an error." wouldn't have been as 
helpful.

hi Josh

you are on an older version of ubuntu, so you'll need to add the additional 
'bionic' codename to your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list file

Hello everybody,

As a lot of you know, I’m interested in making Koha available to libraries that

takes the viewer through an actual installation, filmed (mostly) just as it

[Koha] New video: Installing Koha from the Ubuntu Command Line

[King, Fred]

Hello everybody,

As a lot of you know, I'm interested in making Koha available to libraries that 
don't have the budget to have an outside vendor install and configure Koha. To 
show that it's possible to set up Koha by yourself, I've created a video that 
takes the viewer through an actual installation, filmed (mostly) just as it 
happened. I also wrote a few scripts that run some of Koha's more complicated 
installation commands for you.

I'm putting this out for peer review-corrections and comments welcome! The 
video is at
https://youtu.be/B02ooewdQhs
The link to the video and more information about the scripts is at
   http://avengingchicken.online/
under "Handbooks, manuals, etc." It's been so long since I've done HTML that I 
had to edit it several times. The code is right now, but an older version may 
be cached somewhere.

Have you ever used DOS? It’s a bit like that. Even if you haven’t, you’ll catch

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] KOHA help

[King, Fred]

Back in 2012-2013, I learned Koha by installing it, breaking it, then 
re-installing it, breaking it again, etc. If you have access to something like 
VirtualBox, you can create a Koha instance, make a copy of it, and practice on 
that copy. Taking a class in Ubuntu (or whatever you install Koha on) helped 
me, but probably wasn't absolutely necessary. I still don't consider myself a 
Koha Expert, but I know enough to get by, and I do know how to install Koha 
without a support vendor, which I consider is Koha's strong point--anybody can 
do it. There are many more instructional videos and print guides available now. 
Look though the koha-community.org web site and the koha-US.org  web site. 
(Full disclosure: I'm a member of koha-US.) The latter group is very interested 
in education and how to make Koha easier to use.

I've been working on a video on how to install Koha from the Ubuntu command 
line, and I'm about 80% finished. I still need to add something on making the 
OPAC screen available, add the final credits, and redo the introduction 
completely since I recorded it with my webcam and it looks and sounds terrible. 
From bare Ubuntu command line to ready-to-configure staff page takes less than 
30 minutes. I'll send you a link to the YouTube video in a separate e-mail.

If anybody else would like to see the DRAFT video e-mail me and I'll send you a 
link. Please don't share it with anyone else, since it's only a DRAFT that 
needs several bits redone. I'm at a conference next week, so it might take me a 
while to get back to you.

For those of you on the koha-US education committee who have already seen the 
DRAFT version from last week, the new one doesn't have anything terribly 
different--just another disclaimer added and a short bit taken out. That video 
is no longer available.

Yes, there's a reason I'm writing DRAFT in all caps, but that's a story for 
another day.

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] INSTALLING KOHA ON UBUNTU

[King, Fred]

Hi James,

I don't have my notes with me, so this is the long way:

Go ahead and install mariadb-server-10.5. You'll get another error message 
telling you that you can't install that because it depends on, I believe, 
mariadb-client-10.5. Install that, then install mariadb-server-10.5, then 
mariadb-server.

I'm typing this on a computer with a very small screen, so if you think you see 
typos, you probably are. Just put in what Ubuntu tells you it needs for the 
next step.

[Koha] Koha installation puzzles

[King, Fred]

Esteemed colleagues,

I'm running into some bumps while I'm setting up a Koha installation. I'm using:
   An Ubuntu server from Digital Ocean, 20.04. (In Toronto, if that makes any 
difference.)
   Koha 20.11x
   Using packages from mirrors.digitalocean.com

While I'm installing koha-common, right before the end, this happens:
   The following plugins have been enabled:
  rabbitmq_stomp
   started 1 plugins
[that's normal, but then nothing happens for a couple of minutes, and I get 
this:]
   Failed to enable unit: Unit /run/systemd/generator.late/koha-common.service 
is transient or generated.
[then setup returns to normal]

I've never seen this before, and I've done a LOT of Koha installations. Any 
ideas of what's happening?


I also want to add Memcached. (If it matters, I've also installed plack.) The 
instructions at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages 
say:
   If you want to use memcached:
   This may need to be installed first with: sudo apt-get install memcached
   Include --use-memcached
[then the next line is:]
   sudo koha-create --create-db library

Problem is, I can't figure where to include -use-memcached. All right, I have a 
bad case of Basement Brain. Could someone un-confuse me?


And finally, when I try to install a language with
   Sudo koha-translate -install fr-FR
for example, I get the warning
   connection to '__MEMCACHED_SERVERS___' failed
and warnings that performance will suffer greatly.
Then when I try to install another language such as es_ES, de_DE, or am_ETHI, I 
get a message that the language is not available. Later in the installation I 
get the option to use FR, so it seems to have been installed.
The Memcached settings in /etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf.xml appear to be 
correct.

It's dinnertime here in North American Eastern Time, but I'll be back on 
Monday. Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

[Koha] CHAT: Another Adventure of Fred and the Avenging Chicken

Yes, the conference took place last August, but I've been preoccupied. So now, 
as a ray of silliness after some rather odd months, may I present

   http://avengingchicken.online/mla2020

I regret to add that there won't be Adventures at the koha-US and KohaCon 
International conferences. By the time I finished my presentations, I was too 
worn out to photograph Adventures. Also, as I noted in the site, I used up all 
my jokes unless I wanted to do something like the Angriest Dog in the World.

Re: [Koha] Biblio export does not export records when they have no items/holdings

[King, Fred]

I ran into this same problem a while back when I was trying to export records 
for R2 books that had been archived. There are probably better ways to do this, 
but I think I ended up going to Tools/Managed Staged Records and undoing the 
import of that entire batch of records. Another tedious way of exporting those 
records might be making a list of the titles, downloading the list in compiled 
MARC format, and using MarcEdit or Koha Tools to add a 952, then uploading the 
batch, importing the item records.

Hello,

  I am having some trouble with the KOHA export of bibliographic records. In 
short it seems to export records only when they actually have. I am using KOHA 
version 18.05.14.000. Here is what I am doing exactly:

KOHA --> Tools --> Export Data --> Export bibliographic records

  To export, I use a file specifying the biblio numbers. Let’s say it has 
numbers 95 and 96, where 95 does not have items/holdings but 96 has.
  I do not click „Don’t export items“ but even if I do it does not change 
anything.
  I do not click „Remove items…“ but even if I do it does not change anything.
  The „Dont export fields“ field remains empty.
  For output format I choose Xml but that does not matter. It is the same what 
ever I choose


  *   I click the export button.

  Now I get my resulting Xml file which only has item #96. If I add an 
item/holding for #95, that one will be exported as well.

  How do I get it to work such that biblio records without items/holdings get 
exported? My aim is to use the resulting file and import it into another KOHA 
instance oft he same version.

  Thanks in advance

Hi Charles,

As far as I know, you can have as many superlibrarians as you want--it just 
depends on what your budget for red capes is.* In our system, 60% of our staff 
are superlibrarians. And before you all let out a collective gasp, that's three 
accounts out of five.

Is this the complete path? I'm new to the Linux environment, and I know 
from experience that if you miss a slash in the beginning of the path, you get 
something else.

Thank you for the help.

Re: [Koha] Academic Repository

[King, Fred]

Greetings!

This may not be the Best Way, but here's how I would do it. Esteemed 
colleagues, please add corrections and improvements.

Create a MARC record for each document the same way you'd create one for any 
book, journal, etc. Don't worry about the record being perfect and following 
all the cataloging standards. As long as your users can find the record in 
Koha, that's what really matters. What's important is probably the title (245), 
author (100), maybe a few subject terms (650), year (260)--whatever you deem 
useful. 

If you want full-text access, put the files on a server somewhere and add the 
URL to the 856$u field. You can make it behind your institution's firewall or 
out in the open depending on what you want--talk to your IT department.

You can modify fields as you want--Koha is (literally) infinitely configurable.

I created something similar for our institution's local authors, which you can 
see at medstarauthors.org. I took Medline records (a database of medical 
citations), converted the records to MARC, and uploaded them to Koha. If we 
have full-text access to the article, the URL goes in the 856$u field. If the 
article as a DOI (digital object identifier), that goes in the 857$u. (You say 
your catalog doesn't have an 857 field? Well mine does. Remember what I said 
about infinitely configurable?) 

We also have some files that are stored locally--the PDF versions of our 
printed bibliography, among others. I tried to create a folder on our system 
that could be accessed on port 81, but our IT department doesn't allow that. 
(We're a hospital, and security has been much on their minds in the past few 
years.) I created a separate server, but I know there's a way to store local 
documents on Koha--I just can't remember how. It's in the documentation that 
I'll read as soon as I get a few other tasks done.

Hope this helps, and feel free to contact me off-list if you'd like, especially 
if this doesn't answer your question at all.

[Koha] CHAT: A gift to the world from Tom Lehrer

[King, Fred]

(I posted this to MEDLIB-L, so apologies to the Koha medical librarians and 
others who receive duplicate e-mails.)

Esteemed Colleagues,

Chances are that if you are of A Certain Age or a computer geek (I'm both, so 
don't take umbrage), you grew up listening and quite often memorizing the songs 
of Tom Lehrer. I am delighted to say that not only is he still alive at the age 
of 92, he has also posted the following on his web site, 
https://tomlehrersongs.com/:

   I, Tom Lehrer, and the Tom Lehrer Trust 2000, hereby grant the following 
permission:
   All the lyrics on this website, whether published or unpublished, 
copyrighted or uncopyrighted, may be downloaded and used in any manner 
whatsoever, without requiring any further permission from me or any payment to 
me or to anyone else.
   Some lyrics written by Tom Lehrer to copyrighted music by others are 
included herein, but of course such music may not be used without permission of 
the copyright owners. (The translated songs may be found in their original 
languages on YouTube.)
   In other words, all the lyrics herein should be treated as though they were 
in the public domain.

It continues, but that's the gist of it. I knew all of the songs that appeared 
on his albums, plus a few extras like the Subway Song, but a lot of them were 
new to me. The site shuts down at the end of 2024, so download them while you 
can!

And if you're unfamiliar with Tom Lehrer, see 
https://www.youtube.com/user/6funswede. NOW!

(My favorite, I think, is the Irish Ballad, which I learned when I was maybe 
nine years old-My parents had his original record. How about you?)

Hey King Fred,

I have tried afew things like rebooting the server and restarting apache which 
have not worked.

I can ping the server and log in directly and access other sites. I'll try the 
ncdu. I wonder if its space issues with my 1TB internal storage showing its 
35GB full.

Any other pointers towards a solution will be most appreciated.

Regards
James

Has the server filled up with logs and other files? If you can get to the

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Koha / Installation / Manual / Needed / 2020-Reg.

[King, Fred]

If you're installing on Ubuntu, start here:
   https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages

At last week's koha-USA online conference, I did a presentation called "Koha 
for Nothing and your MARC for Free," where I set up a library using Koha, 
MarcEdit, and Z39.50. Three libraries, actually, though only one in detail. 
Part of the presentation was a video of me creating an actual instance of Koha 
on Ubuntu using those directions. Since I didn't have a lot of time and I 
didn't want my audience to fall asleep, I speeded up the installation by around 
4x, so it's not really useful as a detailed training tool. However, you might 
find it interesting as reassurance that it can be done, and it's fairly 
straightforward--almost easy.

Conference page with all presentations is here:

One of the easiest IP network calculators to use on the web that I’ve found is 
at

  
http://www.subnet-calculator.com/subnet.php?net_class=B<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.subnet-2Dcalculator.com_subnet.php-3Fnet-5Fclass-3DB=DwMFaQ=RvBXVp2Kc-itN3g6r3sN0QK_zL4whPpndVxj8-bJ04M=vKh6XwOmjyC51IkP1OfsdjQZoWT2vpi6VZl8El8EPRI=SedjTjhSL5u6Lty5N79OwD0gVFpS6ppqwP7WxBNpWsk=iN8Y55IswKkQJrbzfzvaBqF_QQ4s51JZGzdopNzutAM=>

Put in an IP address, select the right range, and play with the number of bits 
of masks to see what the resulting groups are that you can get. This form is JS 
powered, so there’s no submitting and reloading pages to recalculate — it 
happens as soon as you change a field value.

With masks, you’ve got to remember that the ranges you’re working with are 
based in binary, so multiples of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc are going to work a whole 
lot easier than 1, 10, or 100 decimal.

For example, you first query:

192.168.x.x

is easily handled by

192.168.0.0/16.

However, things get complex when you start thinking in terms of decimal and try 
to map that to binary. So while it’s easy for humans to grok your next request:

192.168.22-65.*

Thinking in terms of binary, 22 = 16+4+2. Yuck.

192.168.22.0/23 = 191.168.22.1 - 191.168.23.254
192.168.24.0/21 = 191.168.24.1 - 191.168.31.254
192.168.32.0/19 = 191.168.32.1 - 191.168.63.254
192.168.64.0/23 = 191.168.64.1 - 191.168.65.254

Yes, you need all 4 of those masks to fill up the whole range. Using the 
aforementioned calculator, I started off with your base address (192.168.22.0) 
and kept shrinking the number of bits in the mask until the resulting range 
fell outside of your desired results (from 24 down to 23 — once I switched to 
22 bits, the 192.168.22 subnet dropped to a 192.168.16 range — too far!) Go 
ahead and try it — put 192.168.22.0 in the IP Address field, and start reducing 
the number of Mask Bits from 24, to 23, and then 22, keeping an eye on the Host 
Address Range results.

Next, take the next range up (we ended the first range with 192.168.23, so 
start at 192.168.24.0) and keep shrinking the mask to increase the range of 
available hosts until you again go one bit too far and the resulting range 
falls outside your desired results.

Lather, rinse, repeat, until you have all your subnets.

Hope this makes sense!

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Re: Self-service hardware question

[King, Fred]

I'm not sure if this would work, but maybe someone can take my idea and turn it 
into something practical.

How about running Firefox on a Raspberry Pi? You could lock it in a box and run 
cables to a keyboard, barcode scanner, mouse, and monitor to it. Definitely 
inexpensive, especially if you have a spare monitor, keyboard, and mouse 
hanging around. I'm not sure how easy it would be to prevent people from 
browsing to other sites, but someone here might know of a way.

Hi Lisa (and everyone)

We have started looking at this for a couple of the community libraries we 
support here in Sheffield (UK). Partly this is as a social distancing measure 
as and when we re-open after the pandemic.

Self-service checkout mode is straightforward to configure in Koha ... take a 
look at the Bywater Solutions tutorial at 
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__bywatersolutions.com_education_setting-2Dself-2Dcheckout-2Dfeature-2Dkoha=DwIGaQ=RvBXVp2Kc-itN3g6r3sN0QK_zL4whPpndVxj8-bJ04M=vKh6XwOmjyC51IkP1OfsdjQZoWT2vpi6VZl8El8EPRI=ULJzl7snsamosQnLCPdubRO_x_K1emz4q2NQR8LecY0=eIi0-JPLRXKgTOOD48ufAIwj8nkZKS0FzOuynUdtyMo=
 

For hardware we are looking at something really cheap and cheerful ...
probably just a chrome book and a bar-code scanner. (Our books don't have RFID 
tags). The challenge is to lock the chromebook down tight enough so that users 
can't browse out to other sites (we are looking at using Google Chrome in Kiosk 
mode), or escape the browser altogether. We're not expecting to pay more than 
around £350 for the hardware.

We haven't looked at printers because we don't need receipts but Koha's 
self-checkout module certainly has the option to print them.

I am not an expert so if you get a reply from someone with more experience you 
should defer to them!

Best Regards,

Chris Brown

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Re: Koha as Doc Man System

[King, Fred]

Take a look at my MedStar Authors Catalog, at http://medstarauthors.org. It's 
probably not what you're looking for, but it might give you some ideas. I've 
taken Medline citations (a database of medical literature from the National 
Library of Medicine) for journal articles our staff have written, converted 
them to MARC records, and fitted them into a Koha system. For copyright reasons 
I can't store the records on that system, but I have the 856$u field pointing 
to the article that we can access within our network, and the 857$u pointing to 
the DOI. They're usually the same now, but some publishers (Wolters 
Kluwer/Ovid, for example) still have two different ways of getting to the 
documents.

What, your system doesn't have an 857 field? Well mine does. Koha is infinitely 
configurable. 

You would need to clarify what you mean by "docs management system". 

If you're referring to a system as described by 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_management_system, then I would say no. 
Koha isn't a records management system nor is it a digital library. 

Koha is an integrated library system / library management system, which works 
by storing and indexing metadata about resources (e.g. books, DVDs, journal 
articles, et cetera). It doesn't store the resources themselves. There is some 
basic capacity to store arbitrary files in Koha, but not as sophisticated as 
you'd find in a document/record management system or digital asset management 
system. 

Of course, Koha is open source, so a person could always build document 
management functionality into Koha. 

But I would say it's not viable at present without work.

Subject: Koha on Digital Ocean (Was: Re: [Koha] Installation on so-called 
virtual server at external internet service provider IONOS)

Hello Chris, Heinz-Jürgen, and everybody,

I'm glad to hear that someone else is using Digital Ocean!

We're currently running the MedStar Authors Catalog Koha instance at Digital 
Ocean, and since I bought our in-house Koha instance server refurbished seven 
years ago and I'm getting kind of nervous, I'm trying to move that to Digital 
Ocean as well. I'm planning to start on the $5 USD per month configuration ($6 
USD with weekly backup), though we may splurge for the $10/$12 configuration if 
we need to. Yes, we're a very small library--circulation is maybe in the high 
two figures per month and is mostly the Advanced Cardiac Life Support exam 
review book. Getting another in-house server isn't an option.

My next step is a Technical Review Meeting with our IT department where I need 
to convince the Demand Management Team that Koha/Digital Ocean will not present 
a security threat to the rest of our network and the Protected Health 
Information contained therein. Our systems were attacked a couple of years ago 
and we were shut down for a couple of weeks (my desk has never been so tidy), 
so their concerns are understandable. The form they asked me to fill out was 
the same one that any software vendor chosen by the hospital needs to use, 
though in my case a lot of the answers were "not applicable." 

Which brings me to a few questions, some general and some Koha or maybe Digital 
Ocean specific:

One of the things I think they'll ask me about is data encryption. The form I 
filled out asked the highest level--TLS 1.3, 1.2, 1.1, SSL 3.0 or less. Any 
ideas? Yes, it's a basic question that I should know, but there are large gaps 
in my knowledge as I'm mostly self-taught.

They're also going to ask about antivirus protection. I have never heard of a 
Koha instance running on Debian/Ubuntu being affected by a virus or anything 
similar, and if it had happened I think I would have heard of it since I've 
been involved with Koha since version 2.something-or-other. Does anybody know 
something different?

I'd also like to hear from other users of Digital Ocean, or from people whose 
Koha systems have had to undergo a review of this type. Any advice? I know 
enough about Koha, Ubuntu, and Digital Ocean to be able to set up, migrate, and 
run our small Koha system, enough to install it on a Raspberry Pi 
(http://avengingchicken.online/misc/installing_koha_on_raspberry-pi-4.pdf), 
take part in a panel discussion 
(http://koha-us.org/learn/conferences/kohacon2019/, see "Unsupported? You're 
not on your own!"), but this part is something new to me.

Thank you,

Hi Heinz-Jürgen,

I don't have any experience of IONOS but I successfully host Koha on a virtual 
private server from Digital Ocean. For a long time we were running on a small 
configuration costing 20 USD per month though we have now upgraded as we're 
supporting 5 libraries (and a web site). I have had a smooth ride (though I do 
have prior experience of administering Linux servers). Digital Ocean will give 
you a VPS with Debian pre-installed which makes it easy to get started.

If you're hosting in-house, some things to think about:

1. Does your ISP offer a static IP address?
2. You will need to set up a tunnel (or do I mean a bridge?) through your 
broadband router to your Koha server 3. You will need a way to do backups -- 
preferably off-site

Good luck!

Best Regards

Chris Brown

Esteemed Colleagues,

End-of-year festivities have passed, and now in the Northern Hemisphere we're 
facing the long, hard slog until Spring.* Days are getting longer, but it's 
hard to tell. I can't give you a week in the tropics, but I can give you 
another Adventure of Fred and the Avenging Chicken. This one took place last 
September, when I went to the koha-US conference in Pueblo, Colorado. It took 
me three months to sort through the pictures, but they're finally online. See

[Koha] CHAT/POETRY: exporting records cataloged on a certain date

[King, Fred]

Esteemed colleagues:

PLEASE NOTE: this entirely frivolous; please hit the delete key if you wish. 
Any opinions expressed here are mine and mine only, not necessarily shared by 
my employer, the Koha community, koha-US, or any poultry that might be 
associated with me.

A while back I was trying to figure out a way to export records that I had just 
uploaded to Koha so I could get information in the 999 field. (So I could build 
a new RSS file with links to the bib in the MedStar Authors' Catalog, but that 
doesn't really matter at the moment.) "Export Data" wasn't working-the export 
files had zero bytes.

While I was pondering a possible solution, the muse grabbed me by the keyboard 
and we produced a litter of couplets. Then someone (Katrin, was it you?) 
suggested unchecking the "With items owned by the following libraries" box, and 
it worked like a charm.

That left me with an obsolete poem.

I hate waste.

What to do? Well, I added a few more couplets below the "-" as an appendix 
wherein I reveal the solution. The meter gets a bit twisty in places, but it 
really does scan. I won't attest to the accuracy of all the information 
presented.

I upload records by the score
Into Koha's reservoir

From "Manage Records" dialog
Import into the catalog

Rebuild Zebra then I look
To see what's new, with bib as hook.

To find one is no chore at all
Search for bib number? What a doll

My Koha is! if only one
Bib record I want and I'm done

But now I want to see the batch
That with my Koha I did hatch

I want to see all that is new
But soon I'm mired deep in glue

Perhaps Reports will now display
The records that I've done today.

The Koha SQL collection
Might point me in the right direction.

Alas, I get an error message!
It doesn't work! There's no expressage!

Then from the menu Main I go
To menu Tools, because I know

That in the column Catalog
Export Data, like a dog

Has served me faithfully before
And helped me through the catalog's door.

Export records by the date
they're cataloged? No bytes, not great.

Export records by bib range?
Still no bytes, it's very strange.

If these don't work, what can I do
To see my MARC creations new?

Can I put them in a cart?
All bibs selected, part by part?

That seems to work; they are just fine
Complete with MARC tag 999.

But now I want to add a date
260$c--is it too late?

I add the line and recompile
Then upload the replacement file

Check dups on field 097
A field I added--plucked from heaven

Still I'd like to understand
What happens to my little band

Of records new that with my hand
From Reference Manager so grand

I fashioned into format MARC
So they can shine out in the dark

To show the world what we have done
In MedStar's realm of medicine

Does anybody have some thoughts?
I'd sure appreciate them, lots.

For curiosity, you know,
Librarians do not forgo.



BUT WAIT! I think I found a way
To find additions for the day

Most likely other specs as well
But on this point I shall not dwell.

From Export Data uncheck the box
For owning lib'ry, that unlocks

The filter that prevents me from
A happy, joyous MARC outcome.

And if you have more than one branch
"Clear all" allows the avalanche

Without a lot of extra clicking.
Make haste! I hear the clock is ticking.

And that, my friends, is my solution
That works well at my institution.

And I'm reminded every day
Where there's a Koha, there's a way.

Hi Charles,

You probably know this already, possibly because I posted something similar a 
few weeks ago, but MarcEdit has a Delimited Text Translator that makes 
converting from a spreadsheet to MARC absurdly easy. You can see a very short 
example in my "MarcEdit in three minutes" presentation at
   
http://avengingchicken.online/misc/king_marcedit_in_three_minutes_with_notes_mla2019.pdf
and get MarcEdit at

Hi Charles,

in German libraries an acquisition number like this is very common.
There is a specific Koha item subfield for it already: 952$i = stocknumber or 
inventory number. It is indexed in Zebra and there are some value builders 
(like stocknumberAV.pl) to generate different sequential number patterns that 
can be used with it or could be adapted to generate what you currently have.

Hope this helps,

Katrin

Hi all,

Wondering if any of you have advice on how to perform an export and them import 
back into the MARC records ?

One of my people would like to add Lexicon information to the MARC biblio for 
each record

Specifically we would like to:
 export a list of MARC biblios in csv / Excel format, (maybe by barcode #
???)
 modify the 526 a-d fields with our Lexicon information in the CSV update / 
import the csv back into the MARC biblio record(s)...

Anyone have a process / step by step on how to do something like this ?

Thanks in advance,

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Export / import fields to MARC records

[King, Fred]

Hi Scott,

[cue dramatic music]

This sounds like a job for...

[trumpets]

MarcEdit!

Seriously, this is one of the things MarcEdit was made for. You can export in 
.mrc format, convert it to text with MarcBreaker, then use one of the tools to 
modify the fields. Then compile the records back to MARC, upload, and 

[cue strings]

Viola! You're finished. See https://marcedit.reeset.net.

[Koha] Image for Koha on a Raspberry Pi now available!

[King, Fred]

Esteemed Colleagues:

I am delighted to say that I did indeed manage to get Koha working on a 
Raspberry Pi in time for my presentation at the koha-US conference last week in 
Pueblo, Colorado. The image is now available for download via the Avenging 
Chicken's web site. Go to 
www.avengingchicken.online, scroll down to 
the section Handbooks, Manuals, Etc. The installation has a Superlibrarian and 
minimal configuration, no items or bib records.

Comments are welcome, either at this address or at 
koha(at)avengingchicken(dot)online.

My slide show will be available once my eagle-eyed colleague has had a chance 
to proofread it. The next Adventure of Fred and the Avenging Chicken will be 
available once I recover from the conference and get caught up on things.

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Re: Web installer stuck on Mojolicious::Plugin::OpenAPI

[King, Fred]

I tried this and the suggestion from Mason James. Both times the command line 
said that it was installed, but when I went back to the web installer I 
couldn’t get past Mojolicious. Browser cache? Gremlins? Squirrels?

One of the great things about Koha is that it’s fairly easy to start over and 
keep at it until you get it right. (Oops—I just gave away what I’m going to say 
at my other koha-US presentation with John Sterbenz.)

Or, as Peter Arno put it, “Well, back to the old drawing board.”

[Koha] Can't include itype in report (was Bulk search/delete by ISBNs?)

[King, Fred]

Thanks to Chris and a script from George Williams, it worked like a charm.

Almost. With a few of them.

After a lot of trial and error, I think I might have found the problem: my SQL 
queries can’t find the item type EBOOK, or any data associated with bib records 
of that type. Since there aren’t any items associated with these records, that 
makes sense, but…

Is there any way to run an SQL report looking for something in the 
biblioitems.isbn field when there aren’t any items attached? The 020 field has 
them, and I can put the ISBN in the search box, so the system knows they’re 
there.

Thanks! And if I’m totally confused, could someone point me in the right 
direction?

I’m about to leave for the day, and Monday is a holiday here in the States, so 
I might not be checking e-mail for a while. Have a great weekend everybody.

Hi Fred

You might be able to write a report to get all biblio with no items attached, 
of a certain type and then use that list of biblionumbers in the bulk biblio

My library has a collection of about 5000 online books that are in Koha with

Re: [Koha] Debian vs Ubuntu server for koha

[King, Fred]

(Sorry about the weird formatting--Outlook 365 hates me.)
Mark Tompsett:

Though, it is strange to install a desktop on your server, because Koha is  
access via webclients, which can be on any computer which knows how to reach  
your server. The only use case that I could see is a small library with no  
budget for multiple computers, and only a single staff person doing all the  
check-ins and check-outs.

I've thought about that as part of Crossing the Linux Barrier. Adding a GUI to 
the Koha server would make copying files and navigating through directories 
much easier. It would take processor power and RAM, but you could start it and 
stop it as needed.

I'm trying to think from the perspective of someone on the first day of their 
job who asks "Who's the sysadmin?" and is told "You are." (That actually 
happened to me with our previous system.) Getting used to the Ubuntu command 
line was fairly easy for me because my first home computer ran on DOS 3.3. It's 
pretty much the same except that the virgules go the other way. However, there 
aren't as many people like me around these days.

difference for me is that I’m reasonably comfortable with Ubuntu and I’ve never 
used Debian. One of the things koha-US is working on is Crossing the Linux 
Barrier, so you’ve given me more to think about. If my talk on “Got a hundred 
dollars? Get an ILS!” isn’t a complete flop, I’ll post the slides on the 
Avenging Chicken’s web site.

Hi Fred,

As far as administration of Koha within the web based interface is concerned, 
you'll see no difference whether you're running on Ubuntu or Debian. Even if 
you're working at a Linux command prompt you're going to see the same commands. 
Ubuntu uses Debian as its "upstream" distribution.

As was pointed out (by Michael I think) you might find some minor differences 
between installed package versions between Ubuntu and Debian, and might get a 
smoother ride installing onto Debian so I would go with that unless you have 
some other reason to prefer Ubuntu. (I am too out of touch with the Ubuntu 
Server distro these days to know what "added value" it offers, if any.)

Hope this helps,

Best Regards,

Chris Brown

  the following distributions are currently supported:

* Debian 8 (Jessie)
* Debian 9 (Stretch)
* Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic)

Personally, I think I heard or anyway I feel like the developers are usually 
using the newer Debian version (thus Debian 9) which results in a smoother 
installation process. I'm not sure if it's true but it seems to me even if Koha 
can be installed on Ubuntu or even some other Linux distributions, it will 
often need some extra effort to make it work on them.

So if you're not absolutely depending on Ubuntu or any other distribution I 
would always recommend Debian GNU/Linux. Also just because Debian GNU/Linux is 
the base of Ubuntu anyway.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes: Michael

Re: [Koha] Debian vs Ubuntu server for koha

[King, Fred]

As far as Koha administration is concerned, what are the differences between 
Debian and Ubuntu? I know Ubuntu is said to be the easy version of Debian, but 
how does that translate into Koha?
