23:07 bugolf     Is it this? http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
23:01 bugolf     Where would I find the list?
22:59 cait       you might want to ask on the list - i think others have done that before
22:57 bugolf     If you would like the know what the old system we are transfering from it is mandarin oassis
22:52 bugolf     Ok that makes sense. Sorry for me not understanding I work in that technology department at my school because we have a small library and our librarian isn't actually formally trained I'm mantaing the system rather the her.
22:45 eythian    http://kotaku.com/a-reminder-that-not-everyone-reads-before-commenting-1557812641 <-- this is totally brilliant.
22:45 eythian    if it's smaller, then it may be less necessary.
22:45 eythian    The call number is to find it on the shelf though, so if you have a big library, most things probably do.
22:44 eythian    No, not always.
22:44 bugolf     does a record always have to have call number
22:43 eythian    and as such, it's stored at the item level.
22:43 eythian    usually all copies of a book have the same call number, but it's by no means a requirement.
22:41 cait       well printed on a label on the book spine
22:41 cait       the callnumber is what is printed on the book to locate it on the shelf
22:41 cait       and ofte there is also a classification in the record
22:41 cait       it might be different in your current ils
22:40 cait       the call number is on the same level as the barcode
22:40 cait       hm no
22:40 bugolf     or am I understanding this wrong
22:40 bugolf     So for my understanding a call number reffers to a record of a book and then each copy of a book has a barcode.
22:37 cait       and there is also a copynumber you can use
22:37 cait       koha normally stores them in a single field
22:36 cait       call numbers go into the items
22:36 bugolf     Well I'm trying to move my ILS to koha as I said and I'm trying to figure out how call numbers work because I am not a librarian.
22:31 eythian    ...and what cait said...
22:30 eythian    bugolf: that's a very broad question.
22:30 cait       we can help with advice, but you will have to ask a bit more specific questions :)
22:29 bugolf     can any one help me figure out how i can transfer ils to koha
22:27 bugolf     hello
22:27 cait       hi bugolf
22:25 wahanui    que tal, bugolf
22:25 bugolf     Hello
22:12 eythian    It's cloudy right outside my window. That's not so usual.
22:11 * cait     waves
22:07 eythian    hi
21:25 wizzyrea   wow typing.
21:25 * wizzyrea reads teh backscrol.
21:24 wizzyrea   someone comes in, says "hi help me" then slaps someone with a fish? So rude.
21:24 wizzyrea   heya
20:49 cait       :)
20:48 kathryn    no, long summer evenings are nice but everything else is just confusing
20:47 cait       daylight savings doesn't make it any easier
20:47 kathryn    hmmn too many time zones for me..correct!
20:47 cait       where yo uare...
20:47 cait       so it's not quite nine where you were?
20:47 cait       so 10 hours now..
20:47 cait       aah
20:46 kathryn    also, we gained an hour, so could rise leisurely this morning
20:46 cait       :)
20:46 kathryn    I think the rain is going to get worse ;)
20:46 cait       ?
20:45 kathryn    wellington is being sprinkled  on, due to turn more into, hmm...chocolate hail, then possibly too much icing
20:44 cait       how is wellington today? :)
20:44 kathryn    hi cait
20:44 cait       hi kathryn
20:43 kathryn    Hello hello! Hope you are all well :)

19:28 cait       @wunder Konstanz
19:08 cait       hi khall :)
17:34 huginn     cait: The operation succeeded.
17:34 cait       @later tell oleonard - could you take a look at bug 11978? I think your library is using overdrive?
14:37 cait       hi dbs :)
14:24 * dbs      concurs with cait, koha's much easier to install thanks to the interactive script and packaged dependencies
13:22 cait       monday more people will be arond, or tonight, when nz is awake
13:22 cait       :)
13:22 ogio71     I will win :-D
13:22 ogio71     :-) tnx for now... NOW  It is a challenge
13:22 cait       but not nearly as complex to install as evergreen
13:21 cait       hm koha is a bit bigger
13:21 ogio71     I checked even evergreen and openbiblio. Openbiblio was easy to install, but I can't understand some things... There isn't a delete
13:21 cait       good luck :)
13:20 ogio71     I will check for debian 7.0. Just 3 or 4 hours to install all. If it works, I will check for a fresh stable installation :-)
13:19 cait       it's really working quite nicely and people here can help - just wekends are a bit quiet
13:19 cait       i'd give the pacakge installation a try if you can
13:18 ogio71     Well.. I know... even if the school is little (150 people)
13:18 cait       i mean a virtual image
13:17 cait       as a proof of concept that would be ok, but you hsould never use that in production
13:17 ogio71     I found 6.0.6 and 7.0.0
13:17 ogio71     As the koha installation is a proof of concept for my children school, I would like to download a virtualbox image already installed
13:16 cait       not sure, i would use the current
13:16 ogio71     I don0t know well the versioning for debian. What is the best version? 7.0?
13:15 cait       :)
13:14 ogio71     Well... I will check immediately.
13:13 cait       i did, chck teh link above
13:13 ogio71     Ok, so I will check with debian... can you point to an installation guide for debian?
13:12 cait       you will have to add the koha repository but then it works nicely
13:12 cait       yep
13:12 ogio71     and with debian it should installed all with apt-get?
13:12 cait       it will just install all the dependencies there, using the packages :)
13:12 wahanui    packages is at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
13:12 cait       packages?
13:12 cait       debian would be easiest
13:11 ogio71     Hi cait, I can choose other distros
13:11 cait       and yes, zebra is absolutely required for searching
13:11 cait       not many people will be able to help you here
13:11 cait       using centos makes thins more difficult ogio71
13:07 ogio71     I can't continue installing koha because the ZOOM is required
13:06 ogio71     I'm unable to find a version 4.0 of yaz that works on centos
13:06 ogio71     ZOOM-Perl requires at least version 4.0.0 of YAZ, but you only have version 3.0.49.
13:05 ogio71     Regarding  Net::Z3950::ZOOM
13:04 ogio71     I can't understand what is the problem
13:03 ogio71     but   /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK
13:03 ogio71     cpan downloaded the TIMBRODY/HTTP-OAI-4.02.tar.gz
13:02 ogio71     I'm installing perl modules on Centos 6.3, but I'm unable to install HTTP::OAI and Net::Z3950::ZOOM
13:01 ogio71     Hi all, I need some help installing Koha. I'm using an Italian installation guide from koha.it
10:42 cait       jcamins: around?
