Good day Koha folks....I have a question |
| 13:39 |
|
`WILLETS_PHOTO_ |
We have tons of books and are thinking of building a library. Can we scan the books into the system or do we have to enter the book information manually by hand? |
| 13:40 |

You may want to look at Greenstone. greenstone.org |
| 13:41 |
|
rhcl |
If you want to use digitized images, that is. |
| 13:42 |
|
rhcl |
Ah, I read too quickly--you want to scan the Marc info into the computer. Disregard my comments. |
| 13:42 |
|
`WILLETS_PHOTO_ |
no not the book image but the book information like author name publish date etc... |
| 13:44 |
|
`WILLETS_PHOTO_ |
yes is this possible or do i have to enter all the book information manually? |
| 13:54 |

`WILLETS_PHOTO_: I've never really done cataloging, but from what I have seen you should be able to connect to certain databases like Library of Congress and it should be able to pull much of the marc info from those sources, I think, not 100% sure on that |
| 13:54 |

Great that would save me alot of work |

The Koha Z39.50 search tool should be helpful |
| 13:55 |

Just added an authority record. Why can't I find it with a search? |
| 14:57 |
|
nengard |
owen -search has to rebuild ... doesn't it |
| 14:58 |
|
owen |
Yeah, I thought I did that... I could be wrong though |
| 15:37 |
|
owen |
I wonder how multi-branch libraries use Serials. Do they define a separate subscription for each branch? Otherwise, how do you tell Koha that every week/month you get 7 copies of the same issue? |
| 15:44 |

brendan_ |
with zebra searching is there something I can enter in the OPAC that would return all of the results - in other search engines I was able to enter * and then I would get = displaying 1-20 of 767,232 |

|
pianohacker |
paul, hdl or other francophone: Could someone please help me with an english->french syspref description translation? |
| 20:48 |
|
JeremyLC |
hmm...quiet group |
| 20:48 |
|
pianohacker |
very |
| 20:49 |
|
JeremyLC |
maybe you could give me an answer? Do you know if Koha will allow multiple patrons to check out the same item simultaneously? |
| 20:51 |
|
chris |
no |
| 20:51 |
|
chris |
:) |
| 20:52 |
|
pianohacker |
JeremyLC: Why do you ask? |
| 20:52 |
|
JeremyLC |
we're a multimedia lab/library and we allow our patrons to share a single video. Their time in the lab is tracked, so it is important that any persons watching get properly credited for their time |
| 20:53 |
|
chris |
ahh tricky |
| 20:54 |
|
chris |
the way it works currently, you wouldnt be able to do that, you would have to do a bunch of checkouts |
| 20:56 |
|
JeremyLC |
I don't mind having to check out the same item for each person who wants it, but will it violate some internal constraint? |
| 20:58 |
|
chris |
well you cant have it out simultaneously |
| 20:58 |
|
chris |
you would have to return it, and issue it for each peron |
| 20:58 |
