Dear Lisa and everyone, Lemonjar team is also manufacturer for all the library automation equipment. At the same time, we are also implementer and integrator for KOHA. We based in Malaysia. Having Self Check Kiosk is helpful in the library. It acts as a "staff/ agent" to allow patrons to borrow, return and even renew material by own. First, you need to see what is the main direction to have automation in library.. What I mean is for security or automation purpose. For security, definitely EM (Electromagnetic) and if for automation, then RFID (either HF/ UHF). Myself recommend for UHF. Perhaps can check our products at our website via https://www.lemonjar.com.my for further info. Aside of having standing Self Check Kiosk, Christ's idea is good too. If your library on RFID, you will need another item - RFID station to charge/ discharge the security tag. If your library is on EM, then you will need another item - EM Desk (Sensitizer/ Desensitizer) to arm and dis-arm the EM strips within books after circulation. That's the purpose of having kiosk (everything in 1 body).. so public can be orientate easily on the operation. Sharing you our implementation at one of the public library at Malaysia. It's a hybrid kiosk (running both EM and UHF RFID). https://www.lemonjar.com.my/index.php/2019/04/01/soft-launching-of-ssl-tg-a… Hybrid Self Check kiosk from us is around Malaysia Ringgit (MYR) 45,000.00. Integrating KOHA to third-party automation equipment is not hard. Configuration on the SIP2 config file will do. Hope it helps. Regards, Jesse Lemonjar Software Media Sdn. Bhd.

Hi Lisa (and everyone) We have started looking at this for a couple of the community libraries we support here in Sheffield (UK). Partly this is as a social distancing measure as and when we re-open after the pandemic. Self-service checkout mode is straightforward to configure in Koha ... take a look at the Bywater Solutions tutorial at https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__bywatersolutions.com_e… For hardware we are looking at something really cheap and cheerful ... probably just a chrome book and a bar-code scanner. (Our books don't have RFID tags). The challenge is to lock the chromebook down tight enough so that users can't browse out to other sites (we are looking at using Google Chrome in Kiosk mode), or escape the browser altogether. We're not expecting to pay more than around £350 for the hardware. We haven't looked at printers because we don't need receipts but Koha's self-checkout module certainly has the option to print them. I am not an expert so if you get a reply from someone with more experience you should defer to them!

Dear List, Is it possible to add in the "Advanced Search" mode after the Search field, an extra button , clicking on which will open a drop-down menu with the predefined elements? The main aim is to select one of those terms and upon clicking on it, to move that element to the search field. Thanks, Erlanda

about Scan indexes:
by tigran＠flib.sci.am 10 May '20

10 May '20

Dear List, In the Koha version 19.11.02.000, in the cataloging modules, when "Advanced search" is active, on the right side of search filed 'Scan indexes' option is accessible. This is very useful option. In the version 19.11.04.000, the 'Scan indexes' is not present. is it possible to restore this option in all higher versions? Also, is it possible to include this option in the OPAC? thanks, Tigran

System preference "OpacNavRight" doesn't exist anymore since Koha 19.05 (see Bug 23253). Instead you may fill content into this area using Koha menu "Tools > News". For more details see see https://bywatersolutions.com/education/monday-minutes-utilizing-the-new-new… Hope this helps.

Hi, all! The recording of today's Koha-US Cataloging SIG about authorities is up at https://youtu.be/J2WddLD41uQ with a link to the chat file that contains links to resources, tips and tricks. It was a great session looking at getting free authority records from the Library of Congress (and my learning a lot about that process, which is very new to me!), overlaying authority records, exploring linking, going through authorities sysprefs, using MarcEdit, reports, discussing clean up projects and ongoing workflow, and much more! Our next meeting will be about building your library catalog without OCLC, on Thursday, June 4, 2020 @ 8am – 9am PT (9 MT/10 CT/11 ET) US time, https://zoom.us/j/861480992 The meeting is open to everyone--you don't have to be a Koha-US member. Please feel free to join with video and audio enabled--please chime in, share your tips and tricks, even share your screen if you'd like, and ask questions! I'll try things out in our real, live, in production Koha catalog. Can't make it? The meeting will be recorded and available on the Koha US YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV58VVGJH5V1wNHZqYpAfX7y1dU9eWTXq The Cataloging SIG is one of Koha US's SIGs, listed here: http://koha-us.org/special-interest-groups/ You can join via the "Join" button on this page, or email info(a)koha-us.org<mailto:info@koha-us.org> for assistance with joining any of the SIGs.

As a workaround, we have added the 264 field as an additional mapping for biblio.copyrightdate using the ‘Koha to MARC’ mapping tool in the administration module. This seems to work for us although there may be unintended consequences that I’m not yet aware of. Here’s the 19.05 manual entry for Koha to MARC mapping: https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkoha-comm… The manual says “It is possible to link more than one MARC field to a database field. For example, you could link both 260$a and 264$a to the biblioitems.place field.” I hope that helps! Kind regards Henry Henry Bolshaw Systems Librarian Library, House of Lords, London, SW1A 0PW
