CVS status, the next 2 weeks & holidays
by Paul POULAIN 15 Jul '04

15 Jul '04

Hi koha developpers, I've commited my last stuff. It's about "suggestions" (I don't have replaced the word by "request", as "request" is used in Koha for "book reservation"). I think acquisition should work, but probably poorly. It's because I've modified the DB structure, to fix a long lasting problem that causes race conditions & limited features. For instance, there is nothing to describe a "basket". A basket is only stored in order lines. now, a table, called "aqbasket" will store "orders headers". Other features in CVS are : * baskets in OPAC. doXulting commited it's work, it works fine, except for mail sending of a basket that will be completed soon, to let the user choose the format of the mail (iso2709, attached file, biblio in mail...) * Authorities management : seems to work fine. Needs some documenting (IMPORTANT : jean, pls, write some doc on the wiki to explain how authorities work) I've updated the wiki roadmap page (www.koha.org/wiki) to reflect Koha status. The roadmap is still valid, except for 2.1.1 that will be released a little bit after july 30 (because of my holidays). The 2.2 should still be released in end of september. In the next 2 weeks... * I'll be off. It's Holidays here in France. I'll be back on August, 1 (or maybe 2) * Jean baron will work on serial cataloguing, serial management (subscription...) * doXulting should complete OPAC baskets. * Stephen Hedge (from NPL) & Irma birchall (from NZ) should work on onlineHelp. don't hesitate to give them a hand if you have some time to spend. Bye & see you again in august. Take care of our common dream becoming reality. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Koha@Buffalo continues
by Christopher Brown-Syed 07 Jul '04

07 Jul '04

Greetings one and all. This past January, we began using Koha to catalogue two special collections in the State University of New York at Buffalo. We have run practicums for Master's students in library studies, with the intention of providing access to a unique colledtion of books and archaeological field notes housed in the Classics Department,involving about six volunteers. The students were impressed enough to set up a discussion for their colleagues in April. This project will continue in September. A second project involves the university's teaching and learning collection of materials to support instructors. Chien-Lin Liu, the UB Koha guru, has produced a custom Web interface which allows access to these collections, and provides a feedback bulletin board to collect student experiences and suggestions. We have not finished analyzing these, but will post summaries when available. Our ongoing use of Koha in the classroom continued during the first Summer session here in the University at Buffalo. About 17 students in a course on UNIX/Linux systems administration mounted Koha servers as part of their six-week course. One suggestion which arose from both of these experiences was that a more typical MARC table be included in the generic Koha parameters. A "cheat sheet" of "most frequently used" MARC tags was procured from the campus libraries, and we would be happy to share the specs.For instance, the publisher field designations currently include only the date ($c), not the place and publisher fields of the MARC 260 tag. This is confusing for newbies to MARC. The Library of Congress does publish a compact MARC brochure for about $10, but we think it might help to turn on the most frequently used tags and subfields from the get-go. At any rate, we now have a couple of dozen newly-minted open-source enthusiasts here - about six cataloguers and about seventeen budding sysadmins.I'm allowing for one or two who might not yet be convinced. :) -- Christopher Brown-Syed, PhD, Editor, Library and Archival Security.

Re: [Koha-devel] Limit on size of grid in admin/charges.pl?
by Stephen Hedges 01 Jul '04

Try using the npl templates instead of the default templates. I think you'll discover that there really is no limit on the number of categories, it's just the way the template looks.

Limiting number of renewals?
by Kris Boutilier 30 Jun '04

30 Jun '04

Is there a method hiding somewhere in v2.0.0 for defining limits on the number of renewals? If not, is it coming down the pipe for a later version? I had a quick look through the roadmap but didn't see anything. Optimally this would seem to be best served by some sort of Item Type/Borrower Category grid, much like the Charges mechanism. Thanks.

Limit on size of grid in admin/charges.pl?
by Kris Boutilier 30 Jun '04

30 Jun '04

We've been casually experimenting with Koha v2.0.0 and noted that although the number of definiable Borrower Categories (admin/categorie.pl) seems to be unlimited, and the number of columns shown on admin/charges.pl reflects this, the actual data entry grid on this page stops at 9 columns. Bug, feature or user fault? Thanks. Kris Boutilier Information Systems Coordinator Sunshine Coast Regional District
