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. |

Hi rch and paul |

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 |

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 |
