[Koha] Hello

[Ms. Naveen Ali]

Hello, This is Naveen from Pakistan. 

I work at a Public Sector Higher Education University and am trying to 
implement KOHA. 

We have been using in house developed LIS. However it needed upgrade and KOHA 
seems a good next step as many of our requirements have been implemented and 
tested. 

I am currently analyzing what policy and functional changes are required for 
koha implementation. 

I have found out so far that majority of functions are adaptable. 

However need some minor customization and am looking into plug ins which I 
believe are the way to go. 

With thanks and best regards, 

Naveen.

[Koha] Hello

[Mai]

Hi everyone, nice to meet you!

I'm Maite, a librarian from Argentina. I've been interested in Koha since
2009 but hadn't had the chance to use it on a working environment up until
recently.

Since mid 2017 and early 2018 I've been working on a project to implement
Koha at one of Argentina's National Atomic Energy Commission's libraries.

We're running Koha 16.11 on a test server and so far have successfully
migrated our largest databases (books and periodicals) from CDS/ISIS. Now,
we've moved onto customisation of patrons and circulation modules to start
testing and tailoring Koha's behavior regardingloans, notices, etc. so I'm
very excited about this project.

Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and say I'm really looking
forward to learning a lot from you guys!

Best regards,

Re: [Koha] Hello

[Nathan Cluff]

I found my notes on my previous version of Koha, it was running
3.08.01.000.  The last time I fired up the old server, I was able to export
spine labels to PDF without the export process capitalizing everything.  On
the new server (with imported database from the old server) version
16.05.05.00 whenever I export my spine labels something in the process is
changing the capitalization.  I am not sure where to start looking for why
this is happening.

[Koha] Hello

[Nathan Cluff]

Hello Koha community,

I am a system administrator at Arizona State University and have inherited
a Koha database.  I have been wanting to dabble in Koha for a while so now
I am jumping into a full live database.  The original setup was running
Koha 3.x (sorry I don't have the original version readily available) but I
am updating hardware and software for the library and in doing so we are
now using Koha 16.05.

Now the reason for the posting, everything appears to have imported
properly into the new build but one problem I am having is when exporting
spine labels to PDF it capitalizes everything.  When I view the item
record, go through the quick spine label creator or export to csv the
capitalization is correct.  I have not been able to find where to change
this.

Thank you

Update:

After adding

my $borrower;

to line 38 of opac-memberentry.pl I was able to successfully access the 
personal details page without error.


The code area in opac-memberentry.pl to which I am referring looked like this:

36 my $cgi = new CGI;
37 my $dbh = C4::Context->dbh;

and now looks like this:

36 my $cgi = new CGI;
37 my $dbh = C4::Context->dbh;
38 my $borrower;

Very strange, but could this perhaps be a bug? Also, I have absolutely no idea 
whether this  declared variable will impact the rest of the code, or interfere 
with other areas of Koha.

Please advise.

Hi all,

Just upgraded to 16.05.03 from 16.06.02 (Ubuntu 14.04, package install).

Logging into the OPAC, then clicking on "your personal details" throws this 
error:

Software error:

Global symbol "$borrower" requires explicit package name at

For help, please send mail to the webmaster ([no address

Any idea what's going on here? Is there something awry with the 
opac-memberentry.pl script?

Anyone else experience this?

Re: [Koha] Hello from Vermont

[King, Fred]

Welcome to Koha! One of the reasons I was able to convince my employers to 
switch to Koha was that I presented them with a demo that consisted of a 
fully-functional system. Sounds like you're on your way. As for tweaking it, I 
agree with Brooke--set up a virtual system (or several--one barebones, one 
that's configured for your library, one with data, etc.) and keep playing 
around until it's perfect.

And feel free to ask questions. Someone here usually knows the answer.

Subject: [Koha] Hello from Vermont

Hi all,

I'm a retired software geek, now living in a small town in Vermont
after many years in Silicon Valley.  I've been using Linux on my own
computers for 20 years, and have hacked on everything from microkernels
in assembly language to web apps in Ruby on Rails.

I also spent a year in NZ as a child and still consider it as my first
home, and miss it very much, though I've not been back since.  It's
cool to see such great open source software originating from my old
homeland.

Our town library currently uses proprietary software from Mandarin,
but I've been investigating what it would take to convert to Koha.
Many libraries here in Vermont are in a consortium that is using Koha
hosted by a commercial vendor.  But the consortium is closed to
new members.

So to see what it would take for us to build our own Koha installation
from scratch, I installed 16.05 (using git) in an Ubuntu 14.04 virtual
machine and have started to play around with it.  I've exported our
catalog (about 22K items) from Mandarin into a MARC dump.  Now I'm
figuring out what I need to do to import these records and correctly
set things like the item call number and item type.  I may ask some
questions later if I get stuck.

Hi Mark,
If you don't have MarcEdit, I would suggest getting a copy.  It is a free
download.  It has a built in marc-8 to utf-8 converter.  It also has a lot
of other tools for manipulating your records.  I would suggest creating the
item tags (and moving data around) prior to importing the marc into Koha.
You'll be able to view your data and the item information prior to
importing. That is how I prefer to work with the data.

Thanks,
Joy

Thanks, all, for the kind welcome and advice!

Right now I'm working on a couple of things:

1. To set the item call number on import, I think I can use the Koha
cataloging preference "itemcallnumber".  It looks like setting
it to "852khi" would work for our Mandarin records.

2. To set the item type, I think I can use the MARC field 245$h, which
in our Mandarin installation contains things like "[sound recording]",
"[videorecording]", etc.  It looks like the MARC Modification
Templates, with their regular expressions, have enough power this
without my having to write a converter.  (I've already written a
MARC-8 to UTF-8 converter in Ruby, so writing another converter
wouldn't be too hard, but it'd be nice for our librarian to be able to
do imports on her Windows box.)

I should stop fretting and just go ahead and try this out :-) .

Re: [Koha] Hello from Vermont

HI Mark,
Welcome to the Koha community.

I've heard that git installs are not recommended as the production 
environment (though fine of course for your current exploration). The 
recommended method to install Koha in production environments is from 
Debian packages.  There is info on the wiki: 
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian


Again welcome.  Koha is awesome.  I hope it works out for your library.

Re: [Koha] Hello & first question

[Bob Birchall]

Welcome to the Koha community, Margaret.

You won't want to 'move' your journals from the catalogue - they'll need 
to be there for searching and reference.  The serials module refers to 
records already in the catalogue and is used to keep track of 
serials-related actions (like receiving the current issue, or 
maintaining a routing list).  The manual has a chapter on this:

http://translate.koha-community.org/manual/3.20/en/html-desktop/#serials
and an implementation guide:
http://translate.koha-community.org/manual/3.20/en/html-desktop/#impserials

I hope this is helpful.

Hello

Happy new year to all.

Just want to introduce myself.

We are a research library in Dublin Ireland and we migrated from 
Heritage to Koha just before Christmas. So it's all still very new.


First question - all our journals have come across into the cataloging 
module and we want to move them to the serials module (is module the 
right word?). Anyone know how this can be done?



Thank you

Margaret

[Koha] Hello

[Tim Skeers]

Recently I subscribed to the list, and the welcome message suggested a short 
post introducing myself so I thought I would do that. I hope I am using the 
right address!

I am a cataloger at Iowa Library Services, the agency formerly (and sort of 
still) known as the State Library of Iowa. We are a division under the State 
Department of Education. The new name reflects a reorganization that brought a 
formerly separate, statewide commission of regional library service areas and 
us together into the same agency. We run a depository program for State of Iowa 
government publications and my main job is to catalog them. It is mostly 
original cataloging but some copy cataloging as well. I also handle anything 
else that turns up needing original cataloging and I do some work with 
retrospective projects in the State Law Library collections.

The reason for joining the list is that we are in the process of transitioning 
our catalog from Sirsi/Dynix Horizon to Koha. We have been learning quite a bit 
but there is a lot yet to learn and a lot of work ahead of us for a successful 
conversion. I have some questions right now that I am thinking of posting to 
the list but plan to peruse the archives a little more first to see if I can 
find some of what I need there. 

Koha seems very cool so far and we are looking forward to being in the 
community, even with all the work it will take to get there!

Best,

Tim

[Koha] Hello to all!

[Walker Blackwell]

Hey everyone. I'd just like to introduce myself. I'm a lab tech at University 
of Vermont and started getting interested in Koha as an equipment cage 
management solution around v2. It just works way better than anything else I've 
tried! 

Anyway, congrats to all those hard workers who got 3.4 out! I installed it last 
night on Ubuntu 10.04 with zero problems.

One question, has anyone got Koha to work with Shibboleth? Many institutions 
(like mine) are sheathing their LDAP authentication behind a Shibboleth layer. 
I found a few notes about it on a Koha 4 ideas page on the internet but nothing 
else so far.

All the best!
Walker Blackwell
