RFID reader in browser with data from Koha
by Dobrica Pavlinusic 05 Apr '09

05 Apr '09

Back in October, I worked a bit on RFID reader protocol as described in http://lists.koha.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2008-October/008395.html Now, I have something to show: http://blog.rot13.org/2009/04/comet_experiment_rfid_reader_with_koha_data_i… In the end, it will probably be Koha add-on to support user cards and items checkout/checkin, but I'm wondering if this is interest in occasional e-mail from me about status of this on koha-devel since I didn't really got any response last time. --- Dobrica Pavlinusic 2share!2flame dpavlin(a)rot13.org Unix addict.

RFC: decide on one OAI-PMH server implementation
by Galen Charlton 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hi, I have pushed Frédéric Demians OAI-PMH server to HEAD. We now have two OAI-PMH servers, and I propose that we replace the older one with Frédéric's new code for the following reasons: * Unlike the older implementation, it is based on an OAI-PMH module (HTTP::OAI) that is in CPAN and is actively updated. * It is easier to add new metadata formats to HTTP::OAI based servers - rather than writing code to implement the new format, only a new XSLT to convert from MARCXML to the desired format is required. Frédéric's patch demonstrates that by adding support for MARCXML. * The new implementation is more compact, requiring only about 500 lines of non-CPAN code as compared to about 1800 for the older implementation. * The newer version acts as a drop-in replacement for the older implementation. I ask all interested developers to test and compare the two OAI implementations and provide feedback. If I receive no feedback or sufficient reasons to not proceed with this proposal, I will remove the older implementation from HEAD after a week has passed.

Dear Mr. Soni You can easily migrate to Koha 3 (an excellent Web 2.0 compliant LMS with support for NCIP and other global standards). You may test the OPAC in many sites in India (DPL, granthalaya.org @ http://www.granthalaya.org/, DLIS, University of Burdwan @ http://burdwan01.kwc.kohalibrary.com/) If u r interested I can give u the admin password for checking system features. In India a few service providers are available such as OpenLX (http://www.openlx.com/koha.php) Welcome to Koha3 partha Dr. Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay Department of Library and Information Science University of Burdwan, Burdwan, West Bengal, India ----- Original Message ----- From: "Navin Soni" To: koha-devel(a)lists.koha.org, lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in Subject: [Koha-devel] Data Conversion form Newgenlib to koha Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2009 14:07:14 +0530 Dear Professionals, Goog Mrng..

Problem with 007 framework?
by Wagner, Jane 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

I'm not finding anything on bugzilla and I'm not quite sure if this is a bug, or if something's not configured right. Trying to original catalog a DVD, with the DVDs, VHS framework selected (but the same problem exists in all the frameworks). If you click the ellipse after the 007 Physical Description Fixed Field, it brings up a builder screen. However, the only options available in the pulldowns are 00 Category of material t-Text 01 Specific material designation a-Regular print b-Large print c-Braille d-Loose-leaf u-Unspecified z-Other These choices are only appropriate for 007-text (books). For DVDs, Library of Congress says the 007 choices should be 00 - Category of material v - Videorecording 01 - Specific material designation c - Videocartridge d - Videodisc f - Videocassette r - Videoreel u - Unspecified z - Other | - No attempt to code Other material types of 007s have different value choices. What needs to be done to make the Koha 007 builder have the appropriate choices for each framework? This seems to be calling intranet/cgi-bin/cataloguing/value_builder/marc21_field_007.pl, but I can't read the code well enough to see where it's getting the values. Thanks.
