Hi Crusoe |
11:06 |

Crusoe |
In Russia the university libraries have very specific task: they must provide the students with the learning aids and textbooks |
11:07 |
|
Crusoe |
so we have to know, how many students per book do we have |
11:07 |
|
Crusoe |
is there anything like this anywhere in the Earth? |
11:08 |
|
Crusoe |
I'm just curious how to name my report generator |
11:09 |
|
Ropuch |
Don't know, actually |
11:10 |

Crusoe |
in russian this sounds like 'literature provision' |
11:11 |

and i don't like this translation |

I'm starting a page about koha in polish, but I'd like to have list of libraries using in close aproximity of Poland |

Ropuch |
I've came up with Books providing reserve, but I'm not sure it means what i think it means ;> |
11:35 |
|
jdavidb |
No, "Reserve" in en_US libraries means something totally different. |
11:36 |
|
Ropuch |
provision then? |
11:36 |
|
jdavidb |
If it's applied to students, this concept would be "Texbook management" or simply, "Students per textbook report", if that's what it's telling you. |
11:37 |
|
Ropuch |
Crusoe: here you are :) |
11:38 |
|
jdavidb |
If the report is actually telling you a number of students per textbook available, then I would name it that; that would be consistent enough across all the en_ variants for people to know what it's about. |
11:38 |
|
Ropuch |
jdavidb: I know it's not #learn-basic-english channel, but is "book providing provision" any close to what it's supposed to mean? |
11:39 |
|
Crusoe |
actually there are different requests: one may wander how many students per book there is for a given discipline, or a set of disciplines taught by some department |
11:39 |
|
Crusoe |
so the application requires a more general name |
11:40 |
|
Crusoe |
s/wander/wonder/ |
11:40 |
|
jdavidb |
Pretty close, yeah. Generally, when it's learning materials meant for students to work directly out of, it's "textbooks." You normally wouldn't see "providing provision" as an English construct. |
11:41 |
|
Crusoe |
textbooks? provision then ? |
11:41 |
|
jdavidb |
Crusoe: The first report could be simply "Students per book report", but the second...is this the kind of thing where you have fifty copies of the same book, and everyone in a class has one, or where you have a bunch of different books? |
11:41 |
|
jdavidb |
"Textbook provision" would be a good descriptor, Crusoe, I think. |
11:42 |
|
Crusoe |
each discipline is associated with main literature list and optional literature list |
11:42 |
|
Crusoe |
so there are many books per discipline and the report contains that many numbers |
11:42 |
|
jdavidb |
I did a report like that, on another system, where certain call numbers were assigned to a university department, and we could take counts and average ages of the collection for that department. Sound similar? |
11:43 |
|
Crusoe |
alike |
11:43 |
|
jdavidb |
A user didn't need to know all the call number ranges, they just entered "Art department", and got everything that we'd decided fit there. |
11:44 |
|
jdavidb |
Our report was used so that the department could figure out what they needed to buy more of, so we called it the "Collection Development Report." You could also call something like that a "Departmental collection analysis." |
11:45 |
|
Crusoe |
analysis sounds very good! |
11:46 |
|
jdavidb |
Excellent! Anything else I can help with on that? |
11:46 |
|
Crusoe |
thank you |
11:47 |

My english is result of reading unix man, some rpg handbooks and watching Seasame Street, so my grammar is often non-existen |

Sesame Street is not the worst place to learn basic English, Ropuch. Lots of people my age (I'm 41) learned to read and speak English with the help of Sesame Street. |

Colin, I _like_ the idea of "large man with big stick visits patron" as a fine option! |

Colin |
It's simple to implement too!! |
13:06 |
|
chris_n |

But is there a Perl module for it? |
13:08 |

Colin |
I suspect the London perl mongers would be only too eager to whip one up |
13:08 |

* chris_n |
thought about a GPS tag for use in books |

then the large man could drive right to where the book is |

Question - in the opac - when an item is put in transfer the opac indicates "In transit from Forman Elementary, to Dooley Elementary, since 05/08/2009" - is that a table or where is this information stored? |
13:14 |
|
schuster |
I'm also curious about how many items I have in this situation - "transfer/transit" any sql suggestions? |
13:17 |
|
Colin |
there's the table branchtransfers see C4::Items,pm ModItemTransfer |
13:20 |
|
schuster |
Thanks! overlooked that table I was looking for transfers! not in the b's. |
13:22 |
|
Colin |
select count(*) from branchtransfers where datearrived is NULL should get number in transit |
13:24 |
|
Ricardo |
Question: In Bugzilla, how should I refer to the HEAD of a different branch from MASTER? Should I pick "HEAD" and in the comment textarea explain that it applies to other branch (3.0.x) in this case? |

I have those errors. |
14:18 |
|
gmcharlt |
hmm - that may be a case where we *do* want to add a $sth->finish after we've fetched from the statement handle |
14:18 |
|
gmcharlt |
does that make a difference? |
14:18 |
|
Ricardo |
hdl_laptop: Well, I think that I didn't change the "auto truncation" value from the default one. |

But have not tested |
14:21 |

hdl_laptop |
gmcharlt: yep that DOES make a difference |
14:21 |
|
gmcharlt |
hmm |
14:21 |
|
gmcharlt |
a bit odd though - select count(*) will always return exactly one row |
14:22 |
|
gmcharlt |
so the first fetch ought to be enogh to clear the statement handle |
14:22 |
|
gmcharlt |
unless DBI needs you to attempt (and fail) to fetch subsequent rows in order to mark the sth finished |
14:23 |
|
gmcharlt |
are there any paths by which the $sth can get prepared and executed but not fetched from? |
14:23 |
|
hdl_laptop |
I don't know. |
14:24 |

It might be worth a try. (mind you I've had some nasty experiences with prepare_cached and mysql before ) |

And I did on a wip branch. |
15:09 |

ok |
15:09 |

and used that branch to import. |
15:09 |

*most* uses of $sth->finish were not necessary |

but I guess all |

*not all |

prepare_cached(....,{},1) can also does the job |

Hello all. I've been testing the import of a periodical bib with 1900+ issues. Each issue has an item record attached. Zebra chokes on this. I did some experimenting and found that I can import the record as long as it has 1238 items or fewer. The import file is 46 KB. Is there a limit to the size of an individual MARC record that is set somewhere in the zebra config? If so, is there... |
15:28 |
|
ccurry |
...some reason I shouldn't increase this limit? |
15:28 |

Question for people -- how can library staff load MARC authority records into Koha? I tested, and the Stage/Manage records for import under Tools does't recognize that these are authorities -- tried it and Koha thought they were bib records. |

slef and ccurry - there is a limit to the size of a marc record |
15:48 |
|
ccurry |
schuster: do you know what it is and if it can be increased? |
15:48 |
|
schuster |
I can't remember what it is but that may be your problem is the character count gets off and you can't import it. |
15:48 |
|
schuster |
It is a MARC limitation not a system limitation. |
15:48 |
|
ccurry |
hmmmm... |
15:48 |
|
schuster |
Let me check with someone who would know off the top of their head - our migration specialist! |
15:49 |
|
ccurry |
any idea how to import a record with so many items? |
15:49 |
|
ccurry |
schuster: Great! Thanks! |
15:50 |
|
schuster |
I had to break several records when we migrated to limit the number of characters so they would import and also to SEARCH in Koha. From my understanding 3.2 will remove the items from the marc so this won't be a problem in the future. |
15:51 |
|
schuster |
99,999 - characters on a marc |
15:51 |
|
|
CGI049 joined #koha |
15:52 |
|
schuster |
So every subfield you add creates more characters. So the number of items varies based on the amount of data in the MARC and item records attached to it. |
15:53 |
|
ccurry |
schuster: what do you mean by: "3.2 will remove the items from the marc so this won't be a problem in the future" How can you import items without adding 952 fields to a record? |
15:56 |
|
CGI049 |
I am succesflly intalling kOha , and tried to test it using sample records using cataloging menu, but the fields in add new biblo page are not compateble with my library system so how can i customize the fileds to enter new record for example a new book to the cataloging record |
15:57 |
|
ccurry |
schuster: this particular record is 61,125 characters. So it should be a valid MARC record. Still doesn't index in zebra. argh. |
15:58 |
|
CGI049 |
i dont understan your response |
15:59 |
|
ccurry |
CGI049: if you're referring to my last post, you didn't understand it because it wasn't a response to your question. I was writing to schuster. |
16:03 |

ok thank you, I need a detailed answer for my question, my time is up now but i will not close my pc so i will get your response next time |

ccurry - sorry - what I meant was that you will be able to load lost of records match and you won't have a limitation on the MARC record - currently if you load a record with more than 99,999 characters it won't even index in Koha as it keeps all the 952's accurate in Koha. |
16:28 |
|
schuster |
It will be taking the 952 from my understanding out of the equation with 3.2 so you can have a bib with more than 250 items on it and it will still search etc. |
16:28 |
|
schuster |
Currently I have to watch how many items we add to a bib otherwise we will search and get 1 response when we should see 2 titles. |
16:29 |
|
schuster |
ccurry - don't forget to wait the 10 minutes or so for the zebra indexer to catch up to you when loading records |
16:30 |
|
schuster |
jwagner - there is no authority loader interface for the staff side just the command line loader. |
16:31 |
|
jwagner |
schuster, that's what I figured. I was just hoping I'd overlooked something really obvious :-( |

Probably - but you can't load XML into Koha. |

let the librarians tell you how they work and then base your training on that - no matter how well we know koha- we can't know how those in the library use it without listening to them |
