Renewal setup?
by Chris Hobbs 04 Sep '10

04 Sep '10

I cannot for the life of me figure out where to configure renewal limits. All of our items are not renewable in Koha without activating the override control (AllowRenewalLimitOverride). Can anyone point to the right screen? Thanks! * <http://library:8080/cgi-bin/koha/admin/systempreferences.pl?op=add_form&sea…>* -- Chris Hobbs Director, Technology New Haven Unified School District -- This message was scanned by ESVA and is believed to be clean.

Billing Automation?
by Chris Hobbs 04 Sep '10

04 Sep '10

When a patron has lost an item, or the appropriate amount of overdue days have accrued, the item is placed into a 'Billed' status in our system (Billed is one of our Lost options). When the patron pays for the book, we want the lost status of the item to change to 'Paid'. We'd also like the book to be checked in at that point. Is there a way to handle this automatically, or do our librarians need to touch the Fine, the item status, and circulation to keep all of this in sync? Thanks! -- Chris Hobbs Director, Technology New Haven Unified School District -- This message was scanned by ESVA and is believed to be clean.

RFC: Cost Of Resource Exchange (NISO CORE) Protocol
by MJ Ray 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

NISO have just announced a way for Koha to send financial data to other software packages, so I've added an RFC for 3.4 at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/NISO_CORE_protocol I'm interested in working on that after our current tasks, but I suspect it will also need someone to work on corresponding changes in another package like a finance system for it to be worthwhile for a library. What do other Koha users think of this? Would it be worth having for you? Thanks, -- MJ Ray (slef), member of www.software.coop, a for-more-than-profit co-op.

Roadmap for EDI/9XX
by Conelly, Max A. 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Hello Koha Listserve, My library is currently looking towards a migration to Koha. We have seen that there is no EDI/9XX functionality currently. I have seen that there was some discussion about "maybe" having EDI in 3.4. Getting these two technologies working in Sirsi was a game changer for our Technical Services department, and I don't want to be taking a backwards step when we migrate. My question to the group is when such features might be available. Is anyone else looking at implementing it through a paid vendor? Is anyone trying to develop it in house? Is there a group trying to throw money or resources at it and can we join? Thanks in advance, Max Conelly <mailto:maconelly@washoecounty.us> D.C.A.S. Washoe County Library 301 S.

HOLDPLACED being sent to patrons?
by Nicole Engard 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Hello all, I have a report that the HOLDPLACED email is being sent to patrons - or at least it looks like it's being sent to patrons. I looked at this patch: http://lists.koha-community.org/pipermail/koha-patches/2009-August/010025.h… which seems to say that the email is being sent to the librarian (as expected) but this screenshot http://bywatersolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/holdplaced.png shows that the email is being logged on the patron record as being sent. Can someone confirm for me the behavior that is expected? Is the message being sent only to the librarian? or is the message going to the patron as well? If it's going to patron as well we need to change the preference explanation so that's clear - or we need 2 preferences. If it's not going to the patron then I don't think it should show on the patron's message log. Thanks for any clarification, Nicole C. Engard
