Implementation of Koha in the Library of the University of Cádiz
by Aurora Marquez Pérez 03 Oct '18

03 Oct '18

Dear colleagues, after the first year in production, from the Library of the University of Cádiz we decided to share our experience on migration from Millennium ILS to Koha by publishing a paper in the Spanish professional journal El profesional de la Información. Implementing Koha at the University of Cádiz Libray. Fernández-Alfaro, Leonor; Márquez-Pérez, Aurora; Chamorro-Rodríguez, Ricardo (2018). "Implementation of Koha in the Library of the University of Cádiz". The professional of the information, v. 27, n. 4, pp. 928-936. https://doi.org/10.3145/epi.2018.jul.21 As our situation is similar to that of many other libraries that are currently in analogous processes, we encourage you to read them as we describe the different phases of the Project: the choice of software, migration, parameterization and a final consideration as a conclusion. We hope our experience will be useful to you and, of course, we are at your disposal for any question you want to ask us. Kind regards.

Re: [Koha-devel] [Koha] Inventory lists incorrectly sorted
by David Cook 02 Oct '18

I think Koha should be taking care of normalizing the call number into something like “AL_333_910000000000000_WHY_1986” (admittedly a Dewey-ish example) for sorting purposes. If Koha isn’t sorting the call number correctly, I think it’s worth raising an issue. It seems to me that the on-screen inventory list and the CSV/spreadsheet export inventory list should be identical in how they’re sorted. That way you can print off a shelf list, do your inventory, and then scroll through your screen marking items as seen in the order that they were seen for real.

We sort the reports we generate from Koha in Excel with the following formula by Lee Ann Nolan and Jameson Conley: https://scholarsphere.psu.edu/concern/generic_works/qv33rw719 The formula is a big help, but it doesn't work for call numbers starting three letters, such as in the K class <https://www.loc.gov/aba/publications/FreeLCC/freelcc.html> , where there are numerous call numbers starting with KJA, KKH, KZA, etc. I would love to hear whether anyone has devised a better script or formula to sort LC call numbers in either LibreOffice / OpenOffice or Excel.

I received reports of this and during my investigation I found https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19021 but that didn't seem to solve the root problem, which actually appears to be with the item data stored in the database - rather than Koha code per se. I've opened https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21447 to look into this. I've solved it in my case using touch_all_items.pl <http://touch_all_items.pl> , but it might not be feasible for everyone to run this. Keen to hear ideas about how people think we should resolve this issue for all people.

Problem of OpacHiddenItems
by DevinimKoha 01 Oct '18

01 Oct '18

Hello everyone, We faced a quite big problem in Opac search for a while and we were not able to find a workaround for that. When we use OpacHiddenItems system preference value for a specific items, let's say withdrawn items, in the Opac search result, related item become hidden and the numbering is being closed automatically. However if all items in the second page were also hidden then it says "0 results found". Is there anybody hit this problem and any workaround for that? We created the bug https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19688 and we think that the change in the bug https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10584 may be the result of this bug. Thanks. Devinim Koha team.
