Dear Koha Dev [Rachel], Thank you very much your response for my queries. But, we are still facing the problems in making Koha setup up and running. We are here with giving you a snapshot of the setup of what we have and try to address our major concern. Our Concern:Koha system is not allowing us to issue a book with out entering the bar code. We are struck at the screen in the below URL [keeping at a URL, because attachments clog your mail boxes] http://www.angelfire.com/indie/vijayk/koha/circulation.html We want to know which parameter should be turned off inorder to avoid entering bar code. The system parameters in our setup are as shown in the following URL http://www.angelfire.com/indie/vijayk/koha/systempreferences.html We will be really thankful to have your inputs and any further setup we have to do. Thanks in advance, Vijay --- vijay.kankipati(a)tcs.com wrote: > ----- Forwarded by Vijay Kankipati/HYD/TCS on > 05/26/04 08:07 PM ----- > "Rachel Hamilton-Williams" <rachel(a)katipo.co.nz> > wrote on 05/11/200402:41:58 AM: > > Dear Vijay > >> > 1.

Enhancements
by Owen Leonard 29 May '04

29 May '04

We've had a few people recently expressing interest in contributing to Koha. I think it would be great if people who were new to the project could take a look at the list of enhancement bugs and pick a first task from there. It would give new developers a chance to get familiar with the code, and it would give users a welcome update. Just my 2 cents. Pat, maybe you could weigh in? -- Owen ---- Web Developer Nelsonville Public Library http://www.athenscounty.lib.oh.us

Re: [Koha-devel] Please restart IRC logger
by Owen Leonard 28 May '04

> The logger has gone? Cool, that's one less reason > for me not to be > there. I think everyone else will agree that the logger is a great idea, since valuable information can be gleaned from the IRC log (http://www.haz.cmsd.bc.ca/cgi-bin/kohalog.pl) by users and developers. Some of the best work we've done on Koha has been while in conversation with developers on the IRC channel (for which they are owed many thanks!). It's an invaluable tool to a community like ours that spans several countries. -- Owen

MARC biblio framework => question
by paul POULAIN 28 May '04

28 May '04

I had a meeting yesterday with 35 librarians. I spoke of Koha 2.2 (and showed 2.0) About the MARC biblio framework, I had a very good suggestion, that I think we should adopt. For instance, a MARC biblio framework can be defined for an itemtype. The suggestion is "why do you want to connect framework & itemtype ? Sometimes, we want to catalog a simple monography, sometimes, a complex one. So, the framework could be defined freely. A librarian could have 1 for "simple cataloguing", one for "complete MARC cataloguing", one for "quick CDROM", one for "CDROM - full UNIMARC" ". I think that's a very good suggestion. If you have something to complete, pls write in this mailing list. Unless otherwise stated, I'll do it ASAP. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Could someone please restart the IRC logger? I like to check the logs occasionally to keep up with what's happening with the project, and the logger seems to have died about a week ago. Thanks, Rob

blank acqui.simple/addbiblio.pl

I linked up CVS (see script below) and went to add a new biblio, but find that the addbiblio.pl script displays only the tabs, the heading "MARC biblio:", and buttons for "Add biblio" and "z3950 search". The Id line from the script is: # $Id: addbiblio.pl,v 1.36 2004/05/18 15:22:10 tipaul Exp $ I'm not yet familiar enough with Koha to see immediately what might need some tweaking.
