hm, I have a problem sending hold notices by email from head - can somebody else test this too? first I had a problem because hold_print notice was missing, so I added it. but my patron has an email adress and no mail was generated. |

if you have a virtual machine running linux, on your windows machine (say using vmware) you could run koha 3.0.5 on that |

oh, a library asked about a module for ... exchange of publications(?) - does someone know how this could be done with koha or if there is development planned? |
12:35 |
|
kf |
not sure if this is special for our libraries |
12:35 |
|
jdavidb |
interlibrary loan, kf? |
12:35 |
|
kf |
no |
12:35 |
|
kf |
the institution of the library publishes a book and the books are send to different other institutions |
12:35 |
|
kf |
and they get publications from those institutions |
12:36 |
|
kf |
I think you need to manage adresses of your exchange partners and mark the items |
12:37 |
|
|
kmkale left #koha |
12:37 |

hm.. That wouldn't be a huge extension, I wouldn't think. Could manage the exchange partners as a fixed patron class, maybe, if you just need to keep a mailing list. |

my problem is, I never worked with such a module, but I get asked for it |

I think a lot of it could be done with reports and perhaps you could manage them as patron or vendor |

I've not heard of it in this country; generally, if a library is going to publish something in larger quantity, they'll send it out to a publishing company, I'd think. |

12:41 |

gmcharlt |
how strictly do you need to audit them? |
12:42 |
|
gmcharlt |
i.e., if a library fails to send you their publications, does your workflow need to be able to detect that |
12:42 |
|
kf |
Im not sure, I have to get more information about the process, I had hoped its a more common practice |
12:42 |
|
gmcharlt |
? |
12:42 |
|
jdavidb |
Most of that here would be handled by the publishing company; you'd send them a "courtesy copy" list, and they'd send 'em out when the publication came out. |
12:42 |
|
kf |
I think in some cases yes, |
12:43 |
|
kf |
jdavid: dont tell me, tell the libraries :) |
12:45 |

The nearest equivalent I can think of in the US would be the federal depository libraries -- libraries designated to get a copy of every federal publication. There isn't a reciprocal (the libraries don't send the gov't anything in return) and I don't know how the libraries track receipt of federal publications. |
12:46 |
|
jwagner |
I know a few depository sites -- I could ask around if it would help any. But I imagine they just get publications in the mail & catalog as normal. I doubt there's any kind of tracking. |
12:48 |
|
gmcharlt |
US govt depository libraries do get to select what subset of the documents to get |
12:48 |
|
gmcharlt |
and there are shipping lists that they can refer to |
12:49 |
|
gmcharlt |
to ensure that they get what they're supposed to |
12:49 |
|
gmcharlt |
not sure how amenable that is to machine processing |
12:49 |
|
gmcharlt |
also, a lot of libraries use thrid-party vendors such as MARCIVE to supply them with catalog records for the government documents |
12:51 |
|
jwagner |
Thanks, gmcharlt -- that's more detail than I knew :-) |
12:51 |
|
kf |
jwagner&gmcharlt: thx |
12:51 |
|
kf |
I just talked to my colleague |
12:52 |
|
kf |
she told me its about tracking who got what publication, lists of who got what from the library and who wants what and so on |
12:52 |
|
kf |
have to think about it a bit more |
12:52 |
|
kf |
an example: museum libraries exchange their exhibition catalogs |
12:55 |
|
schuster |
I worked with Gov docs for awhile and there are programs to track what you have received or not received from the government. Most of them are Serial type items |
12:57 |
|
schuster |
kf sounds more like an ILL type situation to track what you have sent out, or are you trying to track what you should be getting? |
12:57 |
|
kf |
both, but you are never getting things back |
12:57 |
|
schuster |
So backup - what is the ultimate goal you are trying to achieve? |
12:58 |
|
schuster |
But there would be a record that it was sent. |
12:58 |
|
schuster |
It would be a courtesy also to provide at least a shell of a MARC record to those you are sending the document to. Why not make them epublications? |
12:58 |
|
kf |
and some kind of report, I was also told there should be a balance |
12:59 |
|
kmkale |
I have recently had a requirement from a multi branch library which does central purchasing and despatches the books to branches. They needed tracking of this within koha |
12:59 |
|
kmkale |
possible? |
13:00 |
|
kf |
schuster: some time ago a student would have to print about 50 and more copies of his thesis and the library would send them out to other libraries - today many things are published on institution repositories |
13:00 |
|
schuster |
I wonder if you could use KETE for something like this in an e format? That way the items wouldn't have to be "sent" but would be available to everyone. |
13:00 |
|
kf |
schuster: this is about printed publications, books, journals |
13:00 |
|
schuster |
Yes - I was talking with a doctorate student that indicated they had to provide the finished copy 1 hard, 1 PDF, 1 word editor type document for repository purposes. |
13:01 |
|
schuster |
kf the problem with books journals is single use - I do like paper personally, but there is storage, space, and convenience - e - manages all of those concerns. |
13:02 |
|
kf |
schuster: you dont need to convince me - although I think some things are more enjoyable in print form |
13:02 |
|
|
joettt joined #koha |
13:02 |

schuster |
kmkale - depends on how much tracking you want? In 3.2 I believe there is more of this type of tracking available. Maybe jwagner can expound on that as I believe PTFS did the development? |
13:03 |
|
kmkale |
they wanted to be able to scan the barcodes on despatch in to koha and on recieving end again scan barcodes and do a reconciliation |
13:03 |
|
schuster |
kf - yes but even if you had it available in - e - format you could indicate who they could ILL the paper from rather than 5 institutions holding it? |
13:04 |
|
kmkale |
to track number of books sent = number received as well as correct books received at the correct branch |
13:05 |
|
schuster |
kmkale - from what I know when the item is created it goes into "processing" and then when the library receives it checks it in making it available. Seems like Dynix had something similar to what you are asking for but Koha doesn't have that unless you use maybe a transfer process? |
13:05 |
|
jwagner |
schuster, I've lost track -- what are you asking me about? |
13:05 |
|
kf |
schuster: I kind of lost track too :( |
13:05 |
|
schuster |
kmkale was asking about central processing and dispatching items. |
13:05 |
|
kmkale |
yes central purchase and despatch to branches |
13:06 |
|
schuster |
kf - sorry started mixing topics here. |
13:06 |
|
kmkale |
and sorry I jumped in |
13:06 |
|
jwagner |
No, we haven't done anything along those lines. Reading back, I think you may be referring to our in processing/shelving cart feature. I suppose it might have some uses along those lines, but it wasn't developed for that purpose. |
13:06 |
|
schuster |
kmkale seems like you could do that with transfer - but it would be a lot of repetitive motion scanning on both ends. |
13:07 |
|
kmkale |
how does transfer work? haven't used it before |
13:07 |
|
kmkale |
and can we get reco reports of transfers? |

13:11 |

kmkale |
Got it in docs |
13:11 |

kmkale |
but i dont think it will meet the purpose & requirement here |
13:11 |
|
kmkale |
I was thinking of writing a small separate web app for this |
13:12 |
|
kmkale |
but please let me know if you have any ideas on how to acchieve this from within Koha |
13:12 |
|
schuster |
kmkale - probably isn't exactly what you are looking for, but maybe could be tweaked for central processing purposes? through the cataloging menu add "distribution" which you could take that same bit of code, but have it also change the current/home when it was checked in. |
13:13 |
|
kmkale |
shuster: not sure I understand |
13:15 |
|
schuster |
The processing center would have its own location - so when you "dispatch" the item from the processing center it would indicate - Home library is who it is sending to, current library would be processing center. When it gets checked in both would be changed to Home library. |
13:15 |
|
schuster |
which I assume is who you are sending the item to. |
13:15 |
|
kmkale |
they want to create the bib and inter the item, generate barcode and then send it to the branch which will just put it on shelf and start lending. ( after doing the received reconciliation of course ) |
13:16 |
|
schuster |
Seems like transfer would work for that... We run an ILL report for items that are "in transit" from A to B to find items that didn't make it "home". |
13:16 |
|
kmkale |
do you mean we use the normal circulation mech to send the item and use check out at processing center and check in at receiving branch? |
13:18 |
|
kmkale |
Functionally it will work. but for reporting. let me try using transfer and see what kind of report I can generate |
13:18 |
|
kmkale |
thanks shuster |

Does the patron owe any more money for anything else? Check the value in the noissuescharge syspref. |

jwagner: the value of noissuecharge is given "10" ... so..... |
18:10 |

jwagner |
If you edit a patron record, down near the bottom is a section called Patron Account Flags. One of the entries is Debarred. If that's set to yes, the patron will not be able to borrow anything. |
18:11 |
|
jwagner |
The noissuescharge syspref is a threshold -- if the patron owes more than that amount, then checkouts are blocked. |

Is there anyone about who understands bib1 attributes? |
19:27 |
|
jcamins |
I'm trying to understand why the bib1.att file calls Use attribute 30 'copydate' and what the ramifications might be of changing that to 'date' (since in fact Use attribute 30 is supposed to include the data in MARC21 033, too). |
19:28 |

I sent that patch in November, but I don't think it's ever been pushed. |
19:33 |
|

jcamins: I think copydate is the index name, look at record.abs if 033 is indexed there too |
19:34 |
|
owen |
jwagner: Can you explain your last comment on that bug? What problems was it causing? |
19:34 |
|
jwagner |
Some of what you were having, also problems with it not blocking holds between branches. |
19:34 |
|
jcamins |
cait: It is not. There is a commented out line: #melm 033 Date |
19:35 |
|
jwagner |
owen, in particular, the original feature didn't have item-level holds, and it was placing next available holds without regard for the branches. Some of that was fixed by setting the hold policies in the circ rules, but it was a problem. |
19:35 |
|
cait |
zebra configuration is spread in 3 files, ccl.properties is involved too |
19:35 |
|
jcamins |
I added a completely separate index, since we use 033s to hold auction dates, but that doesn't seem quite right. |
19:36 |
|
owen |
jwagner: So the problem with multiple holds not obeying the maxreserves limit is resolved by disabling multiple holds? |
19:36 |
|
jcamins |
cait: (it works fine, but I feel like I may have created more of a maintenance headache than is absolutely needed) |
19:36 |
|
jwagner |
It's a workaround, not a fix :-) |
19:36 |
|
jwagner |
If they have to place holds on each individual title, then it obeys the limits. It's just the multihold feature that doesn't work right. |
19:37 |
|
cait |
jcamins: I know what you mean, we have an separate index for inventory numbers - an additional field in items |

cait |
oh, looks familiar |
19:39 |
|
jcamins |
cait: Is this something worth bringing up on koha-devel, do you think? The bib1 standard specifies 033 (obviously this would be a change for 3.4, not 3.2... most people probably don't use 033) |
19:40 |

perhaps ask gmcharlt about it, I dont know enough about z39.50 |

and open discussion is never a bad idea :) |
19:41 |

gmcharlt |
indeed not |
19:42 |
|
gmcharlt |
enabling use attribute 33 shouldn't be a big deal |
19:43 |
|
gmcharlt |
but now I'm confusing myself - since when did bib1 actually specify a MARC mapping? |
19:43 |
|
jcamins |
gmcharlt: http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/bib1.html |
19:43 |
|
gmcharlt |
ah, that's distinct from the bib-1 attribute set itself |
19:44 |
|
schuster |
chris_n about? question about label printing... |
19:45 |
|
jcamins |
Yeah, but right now Koha's configuration files call use attribute 30 'copydate' and if we enable 033 in record.abs, and want it to match to use attribute 30, that would be confusing. |
19:45 |
|
gmcharlt |
yep |
19:45 |
|
gmcharlt |
I think that would be the main thing holding back just uncommenting the melm line |
19:46 |
|
gmcharlt |
is whether there would be an issue with slightly changing the semantics on the pubdate sorting |
19:46 |
|
chris_n |
schuster: here |
19:46 |
|
jcamins |
I think Koha uses use attribute 31 for pubdate. |
19:46 |

When it puts the text on the screen for the individual spine label is that controlled anywhere for font size or you get what you get? |

edit the layout for your spine label and look near the bottom of the screen |

there you can adjust three attributes of the text: alignment, font type, font size |
19:52 |
|
schuster |
OK I'll poke around a little more on that. |
19:52 |
|

So far as I can tell, copydate (use attribute 30) isn't actually used anywhere. The only mention outside of the configuration is in Search.pm, in the list of all indexes. |

you could try fix it in your installation by changing the code, but the patch is not in head yet and im not sure it will work for 3.0.x - perhaps someone of the developers can help, I dont know git and perl good enough to help here :( |

perhaps you will need to live with the bug until its fixed, you could add to the bug report, tht this is a problem in 3.0.x too |

cait: I e-mailed you the XSLT (and a screenshot), in the hopes that it might be helpful to you. |
20:32 |

jcamins: thank you! |
20:33 |

cait |
jcamins: I will tell you about my progress |
20:34 |
|
jcamins |
You're welcome. Hopefully it will be helpful. The linking is useful, but I don't feel like what I wrote (aside from the patch I already submitted) is really patch quality. |
20:35 |
|
cait |
not sure I wil reach patch quality - but will try. |
20:36 |
|
cait |
I already saved your other patches to look at them :) |

Well, maybe between all the people who care about analytics we'll manage. |
20:36 |
|
cait |
I think feedback from other librares with other cataloging practices is needed here - im not a cataloger and not a programmer, so will need some help |
20:36 |
|
jcamins |
It would be very exciting if Koha had good analytic support... I think it would be the only ILS. |
20:37 |
|
jcamins |
I'm a cataloger, but I stopped being a programmer five years ago. |
20:37 |
|
cait |
I dont know, in our catalogs articles and links between records are very common |

chris: it's still in a state of flux, but our branch is in github, if you want to see it (see the list of public repositories on the wiki) |
20:43 |
|
chris |
yup i looked, very cool |
20:44 |
|
chris |
the more public repos the better |
20:44 |
|
cait |
can you have a public repo when working with virtual box? |
20:44 |
|
jcamins |
cait: Yes! |
20:44 |
|
chris |
cait: yes use github or gitorious |
20:44 |
|
jcamins |
cait: That's what I'm doing, actually. |

chris - question about pazpar2 - so if you are using pazpar you really don't use Zebra or you use it in conjunction? |
20:45 |
|
chris |
conjunction |
20:46 |
|
schuster |
Ah ok that makes more sense thank you. I was trying to figure out why you would use Zebra at all if Pazpar has these other features! |
20:46 |
|
cait |
jcamins: I will remember that :) |
20:46 |
|
schuster |
Is the setup for pazpar2 documented well anywhere? |
20:46 |
|
jcamins |
Clone a repository on github, and add it as a remote (github's instructions explain this). Then you just have to set up a public key, and you can use git push. |
20:47 |
|
cait |
not sure I undestand it, still struggling with git a lot |
20:47 |
|
jcamins |
Neither do I. |
20:47 |
|
jcamins |
If you look through the IRC logs, though, someone (I forget who) is an expert, and was able to explain it to me. |
20:48 |
|
jcamins |
Okay, time to close up before the security guards kick me out. |
20:48 |
|
jcamins |
Have a good week, all. |
20:48 |
|
cait |
yes, time for me too |
