| 12:00 | Amit | hi paul |
| 13:15 | good evening koha | |
| 13:39 | `WILLETS_PHOTO_ | Good day Koha folks....I have a question |
| 13:39 | 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 | rhcl | You may want to look at Greenstone. greenstone.org |
| 13:41 | If you want to use digitized images, that is. | |
| 13:42 | 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 | yes is this possible or do i have to enter all the book information manually? | |
| 13:54 | danny | `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 | `WILLETS_PHOTO_ | Great that would save me alot of work |
| 13:55 | shedges | The Koha Z39.50 search tool should be helpful |
| 13:55 | `WILLETS_PHOTO_ | thanks |
| 13:55 | anyone know Where I can start? like a website or manual to kinda guide me through the process | |
| 13:56 | shedges | http://www.kohadocs.org/ |
| 13:57 | paul_laptop | hello shedges. Nice to see you here |
| 13:59 | shedges | hi, paul! |
| 13:59 | paul_laptop | how are you ? what's new for you ? |
| 13:59 | for me, what is new is that we are looking for 2 new persons to hire. That will make BibLibre be 9 persons ! | |
| 14:00 | (in 1 year...) | |
| 14:00 | shedges | wow, congratulations! |
| 14:00 | we're dealing with budget cuts here | |
| 14:00 | 14.7% cut in the last 9 months | |
| 14:00 | paul_laptop | wow... that's really a lot ! |
| 14:01 | shedges | so we're always trying to do more with less |
| 14:01 | thank goodness for open source! | |
| 14:01 | good to hear BibLibre is doing to well | |
| 14:02 | so well | |
| 14:02 | owen | Hi shedges , paul |
| 14:03 | shedges | WILLETS, it's a little out of date, but check http://www.kohadocs.org/usersguide/ch04s02.html |
| 14:04 | (actually, it's a LOT out of date) | |
| 14:04 | Hi, owen | |
| 14:05 | paul_laptop | hi owen |
| 14:05 | owen | Newer version: http://sites.google.com/a/libl[…]ntents/Cataloging |
| 14:06 | shedges | thanks, owen |
| 14:06 | owen | Thanks go to nengard for all the work she has put in on it |
| 14:07 | nengard | huh - what? are we talking about the manual :) hehe - was off reading emails |
| 14:07 | shedges | hi nengard |
| 14:08 | nengard | hiya |
| 14:44 | owen | 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 | 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 |
| 18:46 | maxx | Hi can anybody help me here? |
| 18:50 | no one here alive? | |
| 19:10 | danny | i'm alive, how can I help maxx? |
| 20:12 | nong | hi pau; |
| 20:12 | hi paul | |
| 20:13 | hi jeremy | |
| 20:13 | hi rhcl | |
| 20:16 | JeremyLC | anyone around for a quick question? |
| 20:28 | 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 | :) | |
| 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 | 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 | you would have to return it, and issue it for each peron | |
| 20:58 | person | |
| 21:11 | hdl | pianohacker: ? |
| 21:19 | chris | hi hdl |
| 21:19 | hdl | hi |
