Time Nick Message 13:32 rch paul: yes, i agree with the 'expected' language for serials 13:32 rch will make other changes as requested, 13:32 rch and get the sysprefs in updatedatabase 13:33 paul great, thanks. 13:34 owen Hi rch and paul 13:35 paul_away (going to see my bank ;-) ) 13:37 rch hi owen 13:37 owen rch, are you getting any inquiries as a result of the meeting Tues? 13:38 rch no, not yet 13:38 rch though i did see a post on open-ils list suggesting interest in evergreen 13:39 owen I think Evergreen will get some attention because of the need for consortium support 13:39 owen Have you worked with Evergreen at all yourself? 13:40 rch only preliminarily 13:40 rch it's not too hard to get the system running, but 13:41 rch putting any data in is not so straightforward 13:41 owen I wondered if Stephen's difficulty in getting it to work was typical 13:41 rch definitely. 13:41 rch it takes a lot of effort just to get all the services running and talking to each other 13:42 owen Have you been working on specific functionality in Koha to address the needs of consortiums? 13:43 rch i've read the ncip docs, and have a pretty good idea of how to implement 13:43 rch i'd like to make that top priority, but so much to do... :) 13:44 owen Yeah... Hopefully NCIP can get some $$ thrown at it if we get some more libraries on board. 13:44 owen It's funny--even some librarians at NPL have this idea that we really need NCIP even though we don't really need it for our resource-sharing system. 13:47 rch so how do you participate in MORE? 13:53 owen We have our server open to z39.50 requests, but we don't let patrons place requests themselves 13:53 owen If we wanted patrons to be able to log in to MORE directly and place requests we'd need NCIP support 13:54 owen That's just a policy decision on our part, though. We didn't want to deal with the number of requests that might result if patrons had direct access. 13:54 owen ...just another one of those barriers to service we erect ;) 14:55 rch anyone know if there's a problem in rel_2_2 if you repeat 090 field? 14:56 rch koha will always assume first 090c holds biblionumber ? 15:53 paul rch : not at all. I have some libraries where biblionumber is in 001 15:53 paul you can put biblionumber & bibliotiemnumber where you want 16:30 rch hi toins 16:30 rch how's opencataloger coming? 19:24 owen rch, you around? 19:57 owen Hi cm 20:04 cm hi. 20:04 cm did you get to try out that patch for the expiry date i made? 20:23 owen Sorry... disappeared for a while. No, I haven't. 20:26 cm it seems to be working here, although i don't know if the cause of the problem is the same for both of us. 20:27 owen cm, I'm curious--where are you in the migration process? 20:27 cm i think some of our patrons were imported without an expiry date. 20:27 cm we are almost ready. Koha Day is May 21! 20:27 cm training is beginning next week....fortunately, someone else has volunteered to do it. 20:28 owen Hopefully your staff won't need that much training. I think most of the search/circ stuff is pretty straightforwad 20:29 cm yeah, it is. but our staff has been using a dos-based circ for the last 12 years or so, so it's going to be quite a shock for some. 20:30 cm a couple have never used a mouse! 20:30 owen I was about to ask :) 20:30 cm :) 20:31 cm i have a question...what exactly is 'withdrawn' for? 20:31 cm for temporarily pulling something out of circulation? 20:32 owen No idea. Presumably one of the original Koha libraries wanted that status, but we've never used it 20:32 cm i was wondering. :) 20:32 cm i suppose we could hide it in our template to avoid confusion. 20:33 owen we did a lot of that in our first couple of Koha versions, but it was a pain to keep up with minor changes at upgrade time 20:34 cm yeah, we've been finding that out already. 20:34 cm have a good night! 20:34 owen Thanks, you too 20:41 chris yep withdrawn is for pulling things out of circulation, 1 step before deleting them entirely 20:47 cm i see. thanks chris. 21:11 chris damn, just sent a mail to the list with no subject 21:11 chris more coffee needed 22:24 atz withdrawn: the step before "burning" 22:32 chris :) 22:32 chris selling usually
