22:34 bgkriegel bugweiser: larsw means Z39.50. On other hand, every copy must have a unique identifier, then you can't use the ISBN label if you have more than one copy of a book
22:28 chris bugweiser: http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/
22:28 chris not sure why then, the biblibre ppl run the list so ill check with them
22:27 bugweiser chris: where can i find the manual?
22:26 larsw bugweiser, a tip from a newbie: it's possible to import most of the cataloging data from public sources, for most books: the Z24352.3546313 search (can never remember the numbers) is the tool for that, highly recommended
22:26 robin Jun 14 11:20:47 zarathud postfix/smtp[24493]: 2A83D358149: to=<koha-patches@lists.koha-community.org>, relay=mail.catalyst.net.nz[202.78.240.40]:25, delay=0.26, delays=0.13/0.04/0.04/0.05, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 877A56836F)
22:26 robin yep, just have it set to nomail
22:25 chris robin: ill have a look ... you are subscribed to koha-patches eh?
22:25 chris yep you can do that, but in order to catalogue an item you are going to have to deal with marc ... id suggest having a look at the manual
22:25 robin chris: looking at the archives, that patch I sent yesterday didn't appear to make it to the list - any idea why?
22:24 bugweiser What if I don't utilize all of the bells & whistles on it?
22:22 bugweiser I have had SOME minimal exposure to the terminology and what not of library systems...
22:22 chris its designed to run 'real' libraries, so while you can use it for a home one .. there's a lot to get your head around
22:22 chris koha has a lot of features and things like MARC that is pretty scary when first encountered
22:22 bugweiser haha :)
22:21 chris thats going to take the longest time :)
22:21 chris then spend a bunch of time learning how to be a librarian
22:21 larsw bugweiser, if you can put Debian squeeze on the box, software installation is pretty easy ("apt-get install koha", plus some manual steps; see http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian)
22:21 chris install debian squeeze, use debian.koha-community.org to install koha
22:20 bugweiser I.E., 1) Get a server with Debian, 2) Putz around on the command line for approx. X hours installing the server side, 3) scan ISBN barcodes on books...
22:19 bugweiser chris: Do you think you could give me an idea of what the setup process would be like for me?
22:18 bugweiser chris: Okay, simplicity is a plus for me, but not a must.
22:17 chris s/in/and/
22:17 chris yeah koha will do all that in more, koha might in fact be overkill for you
22:17 bugweiser larsw: Hi. :)
22:17 bugweiser physical location of the book on the shelves, really, although it would also be nice.
22:17 bugweiser s to copy an administrator or something would be nice but those are the two essential things I need. I don't even NEED to be able to find the
22:16 bugweiser another that Jack has out, not due back for 2 weeks. Also I'd want to be able to cross reference books to patrons, in other words to be able to pull up Jack's file and see that he presently has 2 books out, The Jungle Book and The Fantasic Mr. Fox and when each is due. Other extras such as email notifications to Jack when his books become overdue with optio
22:16 bugweiser I just need to the inventory system to be able to inform me that there are presently 3 copies on the shelves, 1 copy that Bill has out, due back in a week, and
22:16 bugweiser Oh, and I don't need differentiation between the different copies. In other words, say I have 5 copies of The Jungle Book. Lets say Bill takes out one copy for a 2 week term, and then a week later Jack takes out another copy, for a 2 week term as well. I don't care which copies they all have (i.e., Bill has copy B and Jack has copy E)
22:15 larsw bugweiser, it sounds like Koha might do the job for you, yes (I don't know about details, I'm too new to this stuff myself)
22:14 bugweiser I need to track circulation, and I have books with multiple copies. I'd like to be able to simply use the ISBN label that is already on the books as the circulatory ID for the book.
22:12 bugweiser Hi. I have a "library," which right now consists of some shelfs with a bunch of books, with no organization whatsoever. I own a barcode scanner, several windows machines and a headless desktop that I plan to use as a server. Is Koha a good place to start for me?
21:58 jo thanks larsw
21:58 jo there you go then :)
21:57 larsw "15 June 2010 at 22:00 UTC" -- I _think_ that's in 24 hours
21:56 jo do we have a kohacon meeting thismornign?

20:26 chris authorised values joetho
20:25 joetho Hello, any idea what table I would find shelving location descriptions in?
20:25 chris_n you're right about that... I hate medicine, but that is how bad the throat got
20:24 wizzyrea ^^ hard core
20:24 chris_n I finally resorted to Tylenol and Tussin with Codeine to kill the pain
20:24 wizzyrea omg it's internet communicable
20:23 chris im gonna need more painkilers
20:23 wizzyrea ew
20:23 chris eek 3 weeks!!!
20:23 chris_n along with the worst sore throat of all time :-P
20:23 chris_n chris: I just got over three weeks of that sort of thing
20:03 wizzyrea yes, coughing on your coworkers is not nice
20:00 chris :)
20:00 chris yeah, started with a headache, im in the sore throat and coughing phase now, so better for larsw and others if i dont go in and cough all over them
19:56 wizzyrea poor chris
19:54 larsw ouch
19:53 * chris is off work today with some kinda crazy flu thing
19:53 chris morning
18:15 Joe_Me I can't add a new Item Type. I try to add it and then it closes the window, but doesn't list a new item type. I tried it logged in with superlibrarian access and with the root account I setup for Koha. Anyone have any ideas?
18:12 Joe_Me hello?
17:24 cait hi jdavidb :)
17:24 jdavidb hi, cait! :)
17:24 cait hi koha
17:21 Owner I still need to get the barcodes printed
17:21 Owner there is an issue with that
17:20 wizzyrea you can also get csv output from the guided reports wizard
17:13 librarian have you tried phpmyadmin
17:09 librarian there must be way to spit out all the info from the database using another mysql interface
17:09 Owner I would have to go within the database
17:08 Owner not that I am aware of
17:06 librarian is there a way to create labels without Koha's label creator?
16:52 Owner I am just doing this pro bono
16:52 Owner there is no budget for this
16:52 Owner they are an ngo
16:52 librarian last resort would be to pay for help
16:51 Owner what are my options?
16:50 wizzyrea sorry, I can't help you with that I'm not running your version.
16:50 Owner is there s workaround?
16:50 Owner is unreasonable
16:50 Owner doing it manually
16:49 Owner it is a popup
16:48 librarian yeah, i started doing it individually by searching by titles
16:48 wizzyrea is the window behind your main window?
16:48 Owner now we are unable to do a batch
16:48 Owner as they have already entered items
16:48 Owner iI don't know what I should do
16:47 Owner I went with the latest stable
16:47 wizzyrea wow that was a typo festival
16:47 wizzyrea to*
16:47 wizzyrea 3.0.6, i mean
16:47 wizzyrea sadly it works in both systems I have access too, but neither are exactly 2.0.6
16:47 Owner if I select barcode
16:46 Owner yes
16:46 wizzyrea and if you put a date in each, it returns nothing?
16:46 wizzyrea and you see "barcode", added on or after and added on or before
16:45 librarian i have the same problem
16:45 wizzyrea so you clicked add items to batch
16:42 Owner by I can't kind the syntax to add all items added between a certain date
16:41 Owner I checked the documentation
16:41 Owner any ideas?
16:41 Owner when they go to create a batch to print labels we cannot get the results for all items added between certain dates
16:40 Owner they are running 3.0.6
16:40 Owner they have succesfully entered some items
16:39 Owner I am installing koha for an ngo
16:39 Owner hi folks
16:11 kf bye all
15:59 sekjal gladly. :)
15:59 librarian thank you so much
15:58 sekjal sudo make upgrade
15:58 sekjal make test
15:58 sekjal make
15:58 sekjal perl Makefile.PL --prev-install-log /path/to/koha-install-log
15:58 sekjal the instructions consist of:
15:58 sekjal librarian: if you've downloaded 3.0.6 in a compressed folder, and you're doing a production installation, you can find upgrade instructions in the INSTALL files included in the download
15:54 wizzyrea caveat: I haven't done it, because I use dev installs and do updates through git
15:53 wizzyrea which should preserve your koha-conf and zebra settings and whatnot
15:53 wizzyrea you should be able to download the new package, unzip it, then run the installer and ask to "upgrade"
15:52 librarian *I can't find any
15:51 librarian I'm going to update koha 3.0.1 to 3.0.6 but I can't be any documentation on how to update ... Am I suppose to install it all over again?
15:50 librarian hello, can someone tell how best to update Koha or can point me in the right direction
13:46 * chris_n grimaces
13:43 wizzyrea I may be productive again in a few days, lol
13:43 wizzyrea I'm busily setting up my replacement computer

07:53 chris because that seems like a lot
07:52 chris is that return?
07:52 * paul has found the traveling to auckland will cost 1800� and take 30 hours (for each of us)
07:51 paul our best ennemies

07:51 Elwell meh, roll on next years 6 nations :-)

07:50 chris :)
07:50 larsw we won't be cold, I got my benchmark machine up and running and it's burning the cpu all night now :)
07:50 paul rough translation. better one : "soccer, it's 22 men running after a round ball and trying to score a goal, and, at the end, germany wins"
07:49 larsw chris, aye
07:49 chris larsw: have the heater on tonight? cold southerly coming in

07:45 paul we will probably stay in South Africa just a few more days...
07:45 paul mmm... who is lol ? everybody ? well, you're right
07:45 chris hehe
