I've got some code I need to bundle up into a patch that does Self Checkout by login and password, instead of barcode scanning, to give the system an added layer of security. I've been a little swamped, and haven't released this to Koha patches list as soon as I would have liked (it's available in the ByWater repo at <a href="http://git.bywatersolutions.com/?p=bywater-koha.git;a=commit;h=5c212fe159e7f3a50d9a2528df261a8867368a06">http://git.bywatersolutions.com/?p=bywater-koha.git;a=commit;h=5c212fe159e7f3a50d9a2528df261a8867368a06</a>, but may need a rebase). I'll work on rectifying that this month.<br>

</div>Hi Lori<br>
<br>
Koha has a selfcheckout mode, which you can enable and then run Koha in<br>
this way too.<br></blockquote></div><br></div>We run Koha in self-checkout mode on a workstation nearly all of the time. It works a trick. I have some modifications in the queue which need to be rebased against the current master and re-submitted which might interest you as well.<br>
