Subject: [Koha-oz] Koha Development Opportunity : Display of images in OPAC
 from multiple sources (Funding has been secured)
Message-ID: <CALPHr=ivDcOx61bK3g_Pn0vut+r-=bUPoBEbv6SJjj9wQGExow@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Koha-OZ member,

Recently, there was a call for community support to fund the development of
a feature in Koha that needs improving.

The funding was secured rapidly, work was started today and I am told "good
progress is being made".

I paste below the series of emails that show what can be achieved in a
community like ours.
Apologies for cross-posting these emails if you have already read them on
the general Koha e-list.

If you have a development requirement for your library or resources centre
and you think it might be of interest to others as well, let us know and we
will happily help you look for support in the wider Koha community.

Best regards,
Irma
CALYX

Kia ora koutou,

Just to let you know that Melissa found the required support for funding
this enhancement to Koha, and development is now underway.

Many thanks to the NZ Institute of Chartered Accountants, Region Halland
libraries (Sweden), South Taranaki District Libraries (NZ), NZ Education
Institute and Libriotech of (Norway) for your contributions. Despite being
on directly opposite sides of the globe from each other, we all want the
same things :)

Wishing you all a lovely day,
Kathryn

Dear Melbourne based colleagues,

This is not directly related to Koha but I thought you might like to know
about this event.  Apologies if it is a duplication.

The Library Stars 2014 forum showcases public libraries, recognizes their
successes, achievements and inspires library practitioners to greater
heights. The one day forum on 15 September 2014 at the Library @ The Dock,
Melbourne, will be hosted by the Public Libraries Victoria Network as a
satellite event to the ALIA 2014 Conference: Together We are Stronger.

The keynote speaker is Marie Ostergaard, Project Manager, Aarhus Public
Libraries, Urban Mediaspace Aarhus <http://www.urbanmediaspace.dk/en> ? New
Central Harbour Square and Mediaspace, City of Aarhus, Denmark.

The presentations should be very interesting and highlight great examples
of innovation and excellence in Australia as well as hearing about the largest
public library

Dear Koha Users and Koha-curious, 

At the last Koha meeting in Melbourne Moyra McAlister asked if someone would step in to organise the Koha meetings. I offered with some tentativeness as I am the least technically minded of people. However I appreciate all the work Moyra has put into setting up our Koha group in Melbourne so I felt I would have a go. The Athenaeum Library kindly said they would continue to host the meetings as they offer such a central place.  Irma and Bob Birchall are attending the forthcoming ANZTLA Conference July 2nd - 5th and they kindly offered to speak on the following three topics, so a meeting has eventuated. My apologies for the short notice. Here are the details:

 
There will be a meeting of Koha Users on Monday June 30th @ 5.00pm. It will be held at the 
 
Melbourne Athenaeum Library
Ist Floor
188 Collins St
Melbourne 3000
Tel: 03 9650 3100

Website: http://melbourneathenaeum.org.au/

There will be a presentation by Irma and Bob Birchall on the following topics:
Koha and Libraries Australia Authority Control,
Koha and RDA and MARC Frameworks, 



Koha and the Bootstrap Responsive Design for the OPAC.



Please let me know if there are any issues you would like to raise and I?ll 
put together an agenda or feel free to raise them on Monday.

I do hope as many people as possible can attend. 

With best wishes,

Siobhan Foster

Thanks for this Siobhan and thanks for stepping up to organise the
evening.

We'd just like to emphasise that this is not a Calyx event.  We're happy to
present some info to start the conversation but its really then a forum for

other support vendors).

Hope to see many of you there.

Cheers, Irma!

I won't be able to make it to the meeting as I'll be in Sydney, but I would
love to hear how this goes. 

I'm especially curious to hear thoughts about "Koha and Libraries Australia
Authority Control" and "Koha and RDA and MARC Frameworks".

As the author of the Z39.50 search for authorities in Koha, I would love to
know if people are using it and any ideas they might have for improvements. 

I'm also quite interested in how people use frameworks and how they'd like
frameworks to work. Personally, I'm working a bit on better ways of keeping
frameworks current (especially in terms of making sure MARC fields added by
RDA are present). For the technically minded, I've created a bug report in
the hopes of fostering some discussion about how to improve MARC Frameworks
in Koha (http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12477).
Happy to chat more directly with CALYX folk about this too!

I'm copying Kathleen Fitzgerald into this email as well, as she's been
interested in attending meetings with other Koha librarians in Melbourne.

Perhaps someone would be willing to take some notes about the meeting and
report back to the listserv for those of us who can't make it to the
meeting?

Re-posting the meeting details for convenience:

There will be a meeting of Koha Users on Monday June 30th @ 5.00pm. It will
be held at the
