Tune Koha to enable precise regional language searching
by Vimal Kumar V. 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Dear Friends, Here are the steps to tune Koha to search Indian languages precisely. I tried these steps on Koha 3.12.x installation based on Debian packages. I borrowed these steps from Koustubha Kale posting ( http://tinyurl.com/kza7l84) in Koha Discussion forum. I made slight changes in the instructions. Lets start tuning... Open a terminal and apply following commands one by one. Install additional packages sudo su apt-get install libicu-dev yaz-icu Copy few files to a new location cd /usr/share/idzebra-2.0/tab/ cp icu.idx phrases-icu.xml string.chr words-icu.xml /etc/koha/zebradb/etc/ cp /etc/koha/zebradb/etc/words-icu.xml /etc/koha/zebradb/etc/icu.xml Folder ownership sudo chown -R library-koha:library-koha /etc/koha/zebradb/etc gedit /etc/koha/sites/library/zebra-biblios.cfg add line at the bottom of the file, index: icu.idx Restart zebra server sudo su koha-restart-zebra library Rebuild zebra index sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -f -v library Turn Off Home → Administration > System Preferences > Searching > QueryFuzzy -- Vimal Kumar V.

Fwd: Towards a New Library Model
by Shamprasad Pujar 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Daniel Gil <daniel.gil(a)cobdc.org> Date: Thu, Oct 3, 2013 at 1:57 AM Subject: [IFLA-L] Towards a New Library Model To: ifla-l(a)infoserv.inist.fr ** We need to think again, in a radical and disruptive way, about our professional future, and the future of the buildings of our libraries. This is not about introducing small improvements, or doing some new stuff so as to avoid big changes. This is not useful anymore. *In spite of the obvious and avowed success of the actual model of library, the social, economic and cultural reality imposes itself just like a heavy slab; and this reality imposes, wants and needs a systemic change, a new way of doing and posing the libraries – of all kinds, not only the public ones*. Everything we have done and planned during the last 30 years is not useful anymore. I wonder if it would be necessary to create a new reading map. And I wonder as well if a library of the magnitude and dimensions of the new Public Library of Birmingham<http://www.bauenblog.info/2013/09/04/biblioteca-publica-de-birmingham/>is applicable in our envirorment and social and cultural ecosystem; moreover, I wonder if it would be advisable to build. I seriously doubt about what to answer, despite my intuition makes me say ‘no’.

Dear all, Please share your knowledge and experience regarding "Google Scholar Institutional Access Program". There is a link below on this but it is not very clear (steps for availing its services or becoming an institutional member of this program) - http://googlepress.blogspot.in/2005/05/google-scholar-institutional-access_… I think, it is like a discovery service but free from Google.
