Fwd: Fw: Suggestion - For Requesting Full Text of Article
by Ishwar Goudar 12 Jan '19

12 Jan '19

Dear Professionals, 1.This is in response to Vinod Mishra's query whether the acknowledgement for the receipt of document against article requested should be private or public. Before posting my suggestion I gave a thought, but remained silent. Being private, one is not dumping additional mail on to Forum unnecessarily On the other hand being public all will come to know that there is no need for further attempt by others. So it is left to the discretion of ILL requester. 2. Another suggestion for those libraries having access to J-Gate +. It has incorporated union catalog of University and several other libraries in the country. A link is provided as “Find-in-a-Library for 55 million articles indexed in it. One can easily find out which are the Libraries likely having the journal issue required. More importantly a request can be placed to the library of our choice directly using the e-mail proforma built in without trying trace contact details of library concerned and also type article details.

NewGenLib to Koha migration scripts
by Dr. Saiful Amin 10 Jan '19

10 Jan '19

Greetings to fellow professionals. I have been doing data migration for library systems for more than a decade and found very few of them similar. Even when the source and target systems are same, the configurations and policies are not. Hence it is very difficult to make a generic tool for migration from one system to another. But recently I had an opportunity to migrate a university library system from NewGenLib to Koha. This is not an opinion on any of the systems as both are very capable platforms. The decision to migrate from one system to another are many and often situational. The point of this post is that I found both systems very stable, well structured and both supporting common data standards. Thus compared with my past experience of migration from non-standard systems, this was relatively trouble-free. In fact, it reflects quite well on the standards support in NewGenLib, especially MARC21 for bibliographic data and RDBMS backend for other data. Since no single system is permanent it is always prudent to be on a system that supports established standards which is easy to migrate from, if and when needed. I have decided to make the migration related scripts public without any restrictions. I have removed the customer-specific data mapping and data cleaning sections to make it generic and suitable for simple use cases. I have made the library-specific data mapping configurable using a config file. The code is in Perl and it makes the following migrations possible: 1. Bibliographic and item holdings data. 2. Patrons data with any additional attributes (e.g. Dept, Course). 3. Circulation transactions, including circulation history. The source code is available in GitHub: https://github.com/semanticlib/NGL2Koha I can provide further help as much as my time permits.
