Inventory changed?
by Beda Szukics 14 Apr '19

14 Apr '19

Hi all Has the inventory changed radically? It works very differently as it used to. I have my call numbers in the form of: "1/ 1, 1" (the first digit beeing the group, the second the shelf, the third a serial number). When I used "4/43, 1" and "4/43,99" as limits of the search I got a list like: 4/43, 1 4/43, 2 and so on. Now I get 4/ 4,30 4/ 4,31 until: 4/ 4,39 and then: 4/43, 1 4/43, 2 and so on. The second difference: Until recently the inventory showed all the items on the shelf. Now only the items having a valid item type (field 943 c) are shown (I have many records without item type, because I made a mistake when I imported the records from my old system). Is there a way to have the "old" behaviour back? Beda

Should password be mandatory to send ACCTDETAILS notice
by BOUIS Sonia 14 Apr '19

14 Apr '19

Hello, We wanted to send notices to our new external patrons using ACCDETAILS notice but, we have seen that in members/memberentry.pl, there's a checking to be sure there's a password for the patron. We don't use the password (this field is in the "BorrowerUnwantedField" system preference in our Koha) because we send our patrons in the university directory with a specific password not created in Koha. We would like to use the ACCTDETAILS notices to send our new patron a summary of the services provided by the library and to explain how they could connect to their account or how to change their password. We don't want to send them the password by email. Do you see a reason to keep checking if there's a password in memberentry.pl or do you think we could remove it? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

How to place orders as grants i.e free of charge from vendor
by Luisa Korodrau 14 Apr '19

14 Apr '19

Our library has just installed Koha version 3.4 for our use and I'm using the Acqusition staff client module to place orders for a special grant to our library. I have already entered the Vendor details however the system keeps asking for the budget. These items are received as grant or donation and thus does not require budget. Appreciate any help to enable progress with the acquisition. Kind regards, Luisa Korodrau Librarian Davuilevu Theological Library Nausori Fiji

COURSE and Course Reserves
by Carlos Lopez 14 Apr '19

14 Apr '19

Hi folks I was hoping to compose a report (public) that would allow students to choose their course from a drop-down list, but when I went looking I found that the COURSE authorised value had not been populated by data from Course Reserves. So. Question 1: Is it possible to present borrowers with a customised public report that will allow them to choose from a set of values (like "Course code")? Question 2: Does Koha store course codes somewhere that might allow us to populate a drop-down menu for Question 1? We're on Koha 18.05. With kind regards from the Dalton McCaughey Library Team Carlos Lopez Dalton McCaughey Library | 29 College Crescent, Parkville, VICTORIA 3052 Ph: 03 9340 8888 ext.1 | library(a)dml.vic.edu.au | library.dmlibrary.org.au -- Message protected by MailGuard: e-mail anti-virus, anti-spam and content filtering.http://www.mailguard.com.au/mg

How do you do "Library of Things"?
by Chad Roseburg 11 Apr '19

11 Apr '19

I'm curious as to how other libraries are cataloging and circulating non-traditional items like: - Games - Tools - Kits - Electronics ....etc. We are new at this and stumbling into this area. Are you using Koha for this or separate systems? I notice that some libraries are using separate systems like KitKeeper for non-traditional kits, equipment ..etc. We have used both KitKeeper and Koha for this purpose and are still experimenting. Some staff members prefer the ease of cataloging multi-piece kits and LoT items in a separate system but that means 2 systems to track. Thank you! -- Chad Roseburg Assoc. Director / IT Automation Dept. North Central Regional Library

Advice for restricting loans from 3M self-check
by Mason James 11 Apr '19

11 Apr '19

hi folks does anyone have any advice for restricting some Koha item-types from being circulated (issued/returned) via a 3M self-check machine, but!... still allow the item-type to be circulated via Koha'a staff-admin interface? it seems it might be possible using a specific 'sip_media_type' value for an item-type does anyone else have a similar situation? thanks, Mason
