Actions was initiated by Koha itself
by Thu Thủy Dương 24 Jul '21

24 Jul '21

Hi all, I'm having issues related to hold function in Koha. One patron in my library received notification by email about hold confirmation. But, her report with the Library is not place hold, and I checked the log circulation of the system, all librarians of the library also do not perform this action, whose action is performed by Koha. As described of Koha, "*In the action_logs table, timestamp always indicates when the log entry was written, and user is either the borrowernumber of the staff member taking the action or 0 if the action was initiated by Koha itself (e.g. in the case of fines added or updated by fines.pl <http://fines.pl/>*). Can anyone help me find the cause of this issue, and the cases was initiated by Koha itself? (log *borrowernumber is **0, **e.g. in the case of fines added or updated by fines *as described by Koha? Many thanks!

Koha User Restrictions
by Stephen Graham 24 Jul '21

24 Jul '21

Hi All - we don't fine users for overdue items, but instead we add a "restriction" when the second overdue notice is sent out. The restriction, as well as stopping users borrowing any more items, prevents users from placing reservations/holds. I've looked through the systems preferences and I cannot see any way of allowing holds if a user is restricted. We are looking for a way to only prevent further borrowing but allow everything else if a user has a restriction. Is this possible at all? BTW, we are running 20.11.

Re: [Koha] Searching databases from the Koha Library Catalogue
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 23 Jul '21

23 Jul '21

Hi Lizelle, Thanks for reaching out. That's a big question, and there are a lot of different answers, depending on your situation. One option is to get your database vendor to supply you with MARC records that you can import into your Koha. Depending on who provides your database content, they might provide a "discovery layer" that provides access to their database content (both EBSCO and Ovid do this), and then you can set up your Koha's OAI-PMH server to export MARC records, so that the database vendor can import your records into their search system. (There is also a Koha Plugin which lets you search EBSCO's EDS system from Koha itself.) There are other more self-service "discovery layers" out there as well (like VuFind and Blacklight and Aspen Discovery) where you import the MARC records from Koha and those database providers. Koha also has integrations with services like OverDrive which can show results in the search results itself. Depending on your situation, there might be some other potential solutions too. I hope that helps. Feel free to get in touch if you need more help.
