Deny staff patrons permission to check in items issued to them.
by muirunyeri 25 Oct '19

25 Oct '19

Hello team, Our library staff are allowed to borrow upto 5 items. Either junior books or adult books. We are looking for setting in koha that only allows the chief librarian ability to checkin or checkout items to the staff patrons and deny any other staff from doing it. We also want to ensure that staff donot checkin items issued to them. We also are in the process of introducing a new item type- Laptops and tablets and would like them issued by a particular staff e.g. I.T. clerk. How can we set this in koha?. We are using koha version 17.05 Someone please help. Warm regards. James

Restricting access to files attached to bibliographic records
by Myka Kennedy Stephens 24 Oct '19

24 Oct '19

Hello, Is it possible to restrict access to files attached to bibliographic records based on patron category? We have a professor who wants to put a print journal on course reserve. It is a loose issue that is coming unbound, and I'm not comfortable in allowing it to circulate as a course reserve. It is covered under copyright and we do not have access to it through one of our full-text databases. One option is to simply scan the article the professor wants to use and make it available to students within the course management system. However, I was thinking that it would be helpful for the library to keep the scan in its collection for long-term preservation purposes. I was looking at a way to do this within Koha using an analytic (child) record and attaching the scan file to that record. Since it is under copyright, however, I would need to restrict access to the file to only faculty and students who are logged in to Koha. A compromise might be to restrict access to the file in Koha to only library staff (i.e., viewable in staff client only, if that's possible). Then the file could be shared with students through the course management system. Is it possible to use the upload files plugin in this way? How are other libraries managing preservation copies of texts that are protected by copyright? Any suggestions or other ideas are appreciated.

On-site check out

Hi. Is there a way to make the "On-site check out" checked by default? We have patrons with on-site check out only privilege. It is kind of troublesome to repeatedly ticked the box and often it is forgotten. Thanks. Ma. Victoria H. Silva-Manuel Registered Librarian, 3892

Re: [Koha] Printing individual spine labels (TSNZ Library)

Yes, we have this exact setup. Just make sure you have SpineLabelAutoPrint set to do, and our SpineLabelFormat looks like this: <span style="font-size:13px; line-height: 90%"><itemcallnumber></span> That's about all there is to it. ___________________________ Christopher Brannon IT Coordinator 702 E Front Ave Coeur d'Alene, ID 83814 (208)769-2315 Ext. 456 cbrannon(a)cdalibrary.org www.cdalibrary.org Keep tabs on us at: I am new to this list and have recently taken over management of a small library using Koha. I would like to be able to print individual spine labels rather than batch printing. I read on the Bywater site that Dymo LabelWriter 450 twin Turbo will do this and is compatible with Koha. Can anyone confirm this or suggest an alternative?

Holds issue after recent upgrade
by Steve Nickerson 23 Oct '19

After recently upgrading to the packaged version of 19.05.04.000 on Debian, we can no longer cancel any holds. We get the following Software error in the Staff client: Can't call method "notforloan" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Reserves.pm line 1171. Any ideas? Thanks! Steve

Re: [Koha] Development to allow batch cancellation of selected

And what happens to those holds once they are cancelled? Will they trigger the next hold, if there is one, or transfer back home? One of the reasons we don't use this tool is that it is slow. Another is that it doesn't trigger to go home or to the next hold. For those reasons, we find no compelling reason to use it. We just check the item in, cancel the expired hold, and then check it in again to trigger any pending actions. This is much faster at this point. Whether it is batch or not, you have to process everything again to see if there are any pending actions. ___________________________ Christopher Brannon IT Coordinator 702 E Front Ave Coeur d'Alene, ID 83814 (208)769-2315 Ext. 456 cbrannon(a)cdalibrary.org

Incomplete import of framework
by Michael Kuhn 21 Oct '19

21 Oct '19

Hi There seems to be a problem when trying to import a framework. As usual when creating a new framework I did export the standard framework in XML format, created a new framework ABC and the imported the XML file into the new framework ABC. I tried to do this in virgin installations of Koha 18.11.04 and Koha 19.05.00 but instead of importing all 345 MARC fields, only 102 were actually imported. Is this a bug or did I miss something? However, I then tried to export and import a CSV file which worked as expected. Best wishes: Michael -- Geschäftsführer · Diplombibliothekar BBS, Informatiker eidg.
