| 13:32 | rch | paul: yes, i agree with the 'expected' language for serials |
| 13:32 | will make other changes as requested, | |
| 13:32 | and get the sysprefs in updatedatabase | |
| 13:33 | paul | great, thanks. |
| 13:34 | owen | Hi rch and paul |
| 13:35 | paul_away | (going to see my bank ;-) ) |
| 13:37 | rch | hi owen |
| 13:37 | owen | rch, are you getting any inquiries as a result of the meeting Tues? |
| 13:38 | rch | no, not yet |
| 13:38 | though i did see a post on open-ils list suggesting interest in evergreen | |
| 13:39 | owen | I think Evergreen will get some attention because of the need for consortium support |
| 13:39 | Have you worked with Evergreen at all yourself? | |
| 13:40 | rch | only preliminarily |
| 13:40 | it's not too hard to get the system running, but | |
| 13:41 | putting any data in is not so straightforward | |
| 13:41 | owen | I wondered if Stephen's difficulty in getting it to work was typical |
| 13:41 | rch | definitely. |
| 13:41 | it takes a lot of effort just to get all the services running and talking to each other | |
| 13:42 | owen | Have you been working on specific functionality in Koha to address the needs of consortiums? |
| 13:43 | rch | i've read the ncip docs, and have a pretty good idea of how to implement |
| 13:43 | i'd like to make that top priority, but so much to do... :) | |
| 13:44 | owen | Yeah... Hopefully NCIP can get some $$ thrown at it if we get some more libraries on board. |
| 13:44 | It's funny--even some librarians at NPL have this idea that we really need NCIP even though we don't really need it for our resource-sharing system. | |
| 13:47 | rch | so how do you participate in MORE? |
| 13:53 | owen | We have our server open to z39.50 requests, but we don't let patrons place requests themselves |
| 13:53 | If we wanted patrons to be able to log in to MORE directly and place requests we'd need NCIP support | |
| 13:54 | That's just a policy decision on our part, though. We didn't want to deal with the number of requests that might result if patrons had direct access. | |
| 13:54 | ...just another one of those barriers to service we erect ;) | |
| 14:55 | rch | anyone know if there's a problem in rel_2_2 if you repeat 090 field? |
| 14:56 | koha will always assume first 090c holds biblionumber ? | |
| 15:53 | paul | rch : not at all. I have some libraries where biblionumber is in 001 |
| 15:53 | you can put biblionumber & bibliotiemnumber where you want | |
| 16:30 | rch | hi toins |
| 16:30 | how's opencataloger coming? | |
| 19:24 | owen | rch, you around? |
| 19:57 | Hi cm | |
| 20:04 | cm | hi. |
| 20:04 | did you get to try out that patch for the expiry date i made? | |
| 20:23 | owen | Sorry... disappeared for a while. No, I haven't. |
| 20:26 | cm | it seems to be working here, although i don't know if the cause of the problem is the same for both of us. |
| 20:27 | owen | cm, I'm curious--where are you in the migration process? |
| 20:27 | cm | i think some of our patrons were imported without an expiry date. |
| 20:27 | we are almost ready. Koha Day is May 21! | |
| 20:27 | training is beginning next week....fortunately, someone else has volunteered to do it. | |
| 20:28 | owen | Hopefully your staff won't need that much training. I think most of the search/circ stuff is pretty straightforwad |
| 20:29 | cm | yeah, it is. but our staff has been using a dos-based circ for the last 12 years or so, so it's going to be quite a shock for some. |
| 20:30 | a couple have never used a mouse! | |
| 20:30 | owen | I was about to ask :) |
| 20:30 | cm | :) |
| 20:31 | i have a question...what exactly is 'withdrawn' for? | |
| 20:31 | for temporarily pulling something out of circulation? | |
| 20:32 | owen | No idea. Presumably one of the original Koha libraries wanted that status, but we've never used it |
| 20:32 | cm | i was wondering. :) |
| 20:32 | i suppose we could hide it in our template to avoid confusion. | |
| 20:33 | owen | we did a lot of that in our first couple of Koha versions, but it was a pain to keep up with minor changes at upgrade time |
| 20:34 | cm | yeah, we've been finding that out already. |
| 20:34 | have a good night! | |
| 20:34 | owen | Thanks, you too |
| 20:41 | chris | yep withdrawn is for pulling things out of circulation, 1 step before deleting them entirely |
| 20:47 | cm | i see. thanks chris. |
| 21:11 | chris | damn, just sent a mail to the list with no subject |
| 21:11 | more coffee needed | |
| 22:24 | atz | withdrawn: the step before "burning" |
| 22:32 | chris | :) |
| 22:32 | selling usually |
