| 12:48 |
|
hdl |

Hi qiqo |
| 14:02 |
|
qiqo |
owen i have a question |
| 14:06 |
|
owen |
qiqo: go ahead, I'll help if I can |
| 14:07 |
|
qiqo |
is koha capable of being the ils of a national library |
| 14:14 |
|
owen |
Koha can be the ils of a national library if it has all the features required by that library, and if it scales sufficiently for the size of the library. The library should also consider whether they have the technical know-how to set up and maintain it |
| 14:15 |
|
qiqo |
ohhh cool |
| 14:15 |
|
owen |
You can't really answer the question unless you know all the library's requirements |
| 14:30 |
|
kados |
qiqo: a couple national libraries already use koha |
| 14:30 |
|
kados |
qiqo: cook islands for instance |
| 14:30 |
|
kados |
samoa I think too |
| 14:30 |
|
paul |
hi kados. |
| 14:30 |
|
kados |
morning #koha |
| 14:30 |
|
paul |
kados : we should advertise more that ! |
| 14:30 |
|
paul |
(I didn't knew that) |
| 14:30 |
|
kados |
paul: yes, we should! |
| 14:30 |
|
kados |
koha.org needs more content |
| 14:36 |
|
qiqo |
it should have success stories |
| 14:36 |
|
qiqo |
i mean, migrating from proprietary to opensource |
| 14:38 |
|
qiqo |
well ive been teaching koha in our university |
| 14:40 |
|
atz |
qiqo: as librarianship, or programming ? |
| 14:40 |
|
qiqo |
librarianship |
| 14:40 |
|
atz |
cool |
| 14:40 |
|
qiqo |
in cataloguing specially |
| 14:41 |
|
qiqo |
professors usually invite me for 2 sessions, and students tend to be in their workstations |
| 14:42 |
|
atz |
how do the students react to koha? |
| 14:42 |
|
qiqo |
well it's a new thing to them |
| 14:42 |
|
qiqo |
but they get the idea of having an ILS |
| 14:42 |
|
qiqo |
before, they dont discuss online ILS |
| 14:43 |
|
qiqo |
so right now im drafting the information systems strategic plan of my college |
| 14:43 |
|
qiqo |
and im including koha as the official ILS for cataloguing |
| 14:43 |
|
qiqo |
and also for other modules |
| 14:44 |
|
qiqo |
btw we also developed our own ILS, just that i dont like it |
| 14:44 |
|
qiqo |
ilib.up.edu.ph |
| 14:44 |
|
qiqo |
http://ilib.upd.edu.ph/ |
| 14:45 |
|
atz |
is ilib open source also? |
| 14:45 |
|
qiqo |
nope |
| 14:45 |
|
qiqo |
its inhouse develped |
| 14:46 |
|
atz |
i see why you don't like it :) |
| 14:46 |
|
qiqo |
and we wasted millions of money on that |
| 14:46 |
|
paul |
qiqo : then you can say it's opensource ;-) |
| 14:46 |
|
paul |
it's just open for you ! |
| 14:46 |
|
qiqo |
not really |
| 14:46 |
|
paul |
(which is the strict definition of opensource : user CAN see/modify/distribute the code) |
| 14:46 |
|
qiqo |
these people from our computer science department are such idiots |
| 14:46 |
|
qiqo |
that our university hired two batches of programmers |
| 14:47 |
|
qiqo |
and still that program is not yet working |
| 14:47 |
|
atz |
yeah, my 1st click gets an error! |
| 14:47 |
|
atz |
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space |
| 14:47 |
|
qiqo |
lol |
| 14:47 |
|
qiqo |
see! |
| 14:47 |
|
qiqo |
hahaha |
| 14:48 |
|
qiqo |
that uses xserve! |
| 14:49 |
|
qiqo |
well it's been 6 years in development and nothing works |
| 14:49 |
|
qiqo |
even circulation during training period crashed! |
| 14:49 |
|
qiqo |
lol |
| 14:50 |
|
atz |
At least they ripped off of decent CSS. |
| 14:51 |
|
qiqo |
lol |
| 14:51 |
|
qiqo |
yeah,, they are good at css and not with java |
| 14:51 |
|
qiqo |
trying to complicate things so other non java programmers wont get their jobs |
| 14:52 |
|
atz |
that will be a pretty hard argument as koha continues to gain popularity and prominence |
| 14:53 |
|
qiqo |
well that's why i want koha to be the ils of very prominent institution in my country |
| 14:53 |
|
qiqo |
*institutions |
| 14:53 |
|
qiqo |
and i will keep on convincing them that this is a great matured product |
