| 12:01 | owen | itemnumber makes its way into the items table, though |
| 12:33 | shaun | is there any kind of printable inquiry at the moment? our library finds it useful (using the current propietary solution) to be able to make a print-formatted document automatically, with the basic data and often all of the relevant bibliographical data, with the name of the library at the top, and the search terms listed clearly. |
| 13:01 | owen | shaun, still there? |
| 13:01 | Do you mean a printable version of the search results screen? | |
| 13:08 | shaun | (i will be back in 10 mins) |
| 13:15 | i'm back | |
| 13:15 | yes, basically | |
| 13:17 | *is going again* | |
| 13:19 | owen | What about a print style sheet? Would that do the job? |
| 13:28 | michael | hi all ! |
| 13:29 | owen | hi michael |
| 13:31 | michael | hi owen ! i'm happy tonight because i will not work until next wednesday ;-) ouf ! |
| 13:31 | make some fresh air in my brain for some days to come | |
| 13:45 | shaun | back again | hi michael/tim - i don't know you yet... |
| 13:49 | tim | I've been here before, but not much recently. |
| 13:49 | shaun | owen: the results should come up in a new window, for easy copy-and-pasting into excel or word (they're still on M$ on the clients) or, ultimately, printing |
| 13:49 | I'm a hardened n00b - working on template design atm | |
| 13:50 | tim | I've been fumbling my way through for a pretty long time. |
| 13:50 | Still have a lot of fumbling to do. | |
| 13:58 | owen | shaun, so what would the page look like, to fit your needs? Is it not possible to modify the template to reach that goal? |
| 14:00 | shaun | owen: in the current system, it is basically (in web-based ILS terms) pure html, with either tables, or fixed-width words with spaces to fill gaps |
| 17:33 | kados | rach around? |
| 17:35 | si | she should be in shortly, she's just taking the blood doners to the vet |
| 17:35 | kados | erp? |
| 17:36 | sounds dangerous ;-) | |
| 17:36 | si | olive is a big dog, bloody type universal doner |
| 17:37 | so she's in demand at the local vet clinic to help out during difficult operations | |
| 17:37 | kados | huh ... I guess I didn't realize blood transfusions were given to animals ... cool! |
| 17:38 | si | she'll get a bit of free dentistry while she's in |
| 17:39 | and a rebate next time she needs treatment | |
| 17:39 | the only downside is that the blood donors need to be sedated as well | |
| 17:39 | kados | sounds like a good deal for her owners ;-) |
| 17:39 | si | so she'll be zonked for a few hours this evening |
| 17:39 | and probably a bit whiny coz the room is spinning | |
| 17:39 | kados | hehe |
| 17:40 | rachel | hello |
| 17:40 | kados | hey rach |
| 17:40 | rachel | is v quiet when there are no dogs here |
| 17:40 | kados | :-) |
| 17:40 | rachel | you were asking out our cute boxes I believe? |
| 17:41 | kados | yea ... they're really cool |
| 17:41 | LibLime would like a few for our ALA conference | |
| 17:41 | rachel | I could just mail you some :-) |
| 17:41 | ie printed out and ready to be made up | |
| 17:41 | or I can send you the file to get printed etc locally | |
| 17:41 | kados | what kind of paper did you use? |
| 17:42 | (and printer) | |
| 17:42 | (and size of paper?) | |
| 17:42 | rachel | we got some printed out on A4 paper, which makes boexst sort of cd case sized |
| 17:42 | and we got some printed on A1 Ithink it was which makes boxes A4 sized | |
| 17:43 | kados | makes sense ... I suppose we could get it printed locally at Kinkos or something |
| 17:43 | (we don't have an 8.5x11 printer) | |
| 17:43 | (which I think A1 is) | |
| 17:43 | rachel | so we took them down to a printing out place to do |
| 17:44 | the small ones they had thick enough card | |
| 17:44 | but the big ones we then double sheeted - so spray glued them onto another bit of card | |
| 17:44 | before cutting them out | |
| 17:44 | kados | right ... makes sense |
| 17:45 | well when you get a chance I'd love the files | |
| 17:45 | are they Gimp files? | |
| 17:45 | rachel | they don't need to be super thick - but there is a bit of a trick to getting them folded nicely (involves a butter knife and ruler to score first) |
| 17:46 | ah no, they are freehand files, they may be pdfs | |
| 17:46 | kados | freehand is fine ... I have MX |
| 17:46 | rachel | ok cool |
| 17:47 | our new library client is anouncing themselves today | |
| 17:47 | kados | sweet! |
| 17:47 | Koha's time has come | |

| 17:50 | they are anouncing to the library managers meeting | |
