Koha October Releases
by Paul Derscheid 20 Oct '25

20 Oct '25

Hi all, just wanted to inform everyone that we moved the date for the maintenance releases for October to the 29th due to vacations. Felt like the delay was long enough to warrant an additional heads-up. Kind regards Paul -- LMSCloud GmbH Paul Derscheid - Software Engineer Bismarckstr. 3 - D-72764 Reutlingen e paul.derscheid(a)lmscloud.de w www.lmscloud.de

Circulation Rules For Groups/Consortia
by Noah Brubaker 13 Oct '25

13 Oct '25

Hello, We are a consortium of libraries and trying to grasp circulation for Koha in a group scenario as we are having some challenges understanding what is possible. We are separate libraries in a shared instance and with a shared patron/bib database. What we would like to have happen is: 1. A patron from one institution can borrow from another (either walk in person or via placing a hold) using fixed consortial borrowing rules. For example 60 days for a book. This should be separate from the lending library's own local patrons which may get more generous terms. 2. We would like to have a single set of patron categories that are standard across the group. For example Faculty, Student, etc. The issue seems to be that Koha views the patron as "local" rather than from another library. Is there a way for Koha to be configured to take into account a patron's home library when determining rules? We would like to have the default most general rule be our reciprocal lending terms (60 days for a book), but it seems that Koha always lends the item as if the patron is part of the library lending it - rather than a patron not affiliated directly with that library. Please let me know if I can clarify, but it seems there should be a setting somewhere or something in the rules definitions we are missing. We noticed in the rules definition there is the term "same library" which is considered by the system but it doesn't seem to be doing that in regards to the patron and their home library. We were hoping to avoid needing separate patron types for all of our libraries to make this work, if possible. Thanks so much! ---Noah Noah Brubaker PALNI Associate Director (317)721-8198 | nbrubaker(a)palni.edu | www.palni.edu c/o Irwin Library, 4553 Clarendon Road, Indianapolis, IN 46208

Amazon cover images issue
by Paul Dokken 01 Oct '25

01 Oct '25

I have enabled Amazon cover issues but it is not always showing images for every book. I have checked to make sure the items where it is not showing have valid ISBN numbers and when I search for the ISBN number on amazon it shows the book with an image. I have disabled Google Jacket and local image storage. I have tried rebuilding the zebra index and rebooted but nothing seems to fix it. I have tried switching ISBNs to other items to see if it is the item and cannot find a pattern for which ones display and which ones do not. Anybody have any suggestions on what to check? -- *Paul Dokken* Information and Digital Technology System Administrator
