Time Nick Message 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? 21:56 jo morning 21:14 wizzyrea wb 21:12 larsw hi again 20:38 hdl good night all 20:36 richard hi 20:36 joetho report 20:33 * magn_away wishes chris a speedy recovery and everyone a good night (or other time-of-the-day of their choice) 20:28 chris or are you wanting it for a report? 20:28 chris joetho: you should be able to change it in the admin interface 20:27 hdl hi all 20:26 joetho I looked for that table first and didn't see it 20:26 * chris_n heads home 20:26 hdl hi chris 20:26 chris or authorized 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...
