In fact in my opinion signing off on a patch is exactly as important as writing one. You can check out some statistics at http://blog.bigballofwax.co.nz/2012/04/24/statistics-for-koha-3-8-0/ I encourage everyone to get involved for 3.10 .. lets get 100 developers and as many people signing off for it :) So if you want to help the project, and get your name in the history, join in. With the fantastic sandboxes Biblibre have developed anyone can signoff. Chris

patron circulation issue

Hi, We've recently been having an issue with circulating books to some of our patrons. When we scan the book a yellow box appears near the top of the screen but it doesn't say anything and the system won't allow the patron to sign the book out. It seems to be a patron specific problem and not a book specific problem. We've checked all the patrons' information and nothing seems to be wrong in that area. Any ideas as to what is the underlying cause?

Custom call-number schemes
by Peter Aronson 23 Apr '12

23 Apr '12

Hi, We're a very specialized library dealing with a very narrow range of subjects, so we've created our own classification/call-number system. I'd just like to make sure we're doing it right: We've created something like CALLNUM as an authorized values category, and then we're putting our general call number heading (e.g. BC1100) as the Authorized Value, and then "Reference--Dictionaries" as the Description and the Description (OPAC). And then we've mapped CALLNUM as a mandatory field on our Marc framework. Does it sound like we're doing this the right way? Thanks, Peter Aronson DGL Library, India
