Work-around for fees?
by Joelle Hannert 15 Mar '19

15 Mar '19

Hello! I've been surprised to find that Koha's settings for lost item fees are not as flexible as I'd have hoped. I'd like to be able to apply them based on Patron Category, and also based on item type, but I'm finding that it's an all-or-nothing setting with no granular options. Has anyone found a work-around for this? And, if not, would it be something worth considering as an enhancement? I'm a fairly new Koha user and haven't been involved in the enhancement process yet. Here are a couple examples specific to our library, in case it helps to have some context: Patron Categories and lost item fees: We are a college library, and we don't charge fines to faculty/staff. We also have an ILL profile type that we don't charge fines to. We do want to charge students the replacement fees for long-overdue items. Item types and lost item fees: There are some items that we charge $1/day overdue up to the cost of replacement. For higher-priced items, they hit the long-overdue threshold (28 days) long before the full cost of replacement overdue charge is up (example: $300 for laptops). In our system, at 28 days overdue the lost item replacement charge is put on their account and the daily overdue fine stops accruing. If the item was an overdue laptop that isn't returned until, say, 200 days overdue, the person wouldn't be charged a $200 overdue fine as intended, but a $28 overdue fine, and the $300 replacement fee would be refunded. This is why we'd like granular control, to exclude these item types that accrue overdues up to the cost of replacement from the long overdue process. Thanks for any insight you can provide! -- Joelle Hannert Library Technical Services Coordinator Northwestern Michigan College (231) 995-1684 Work days: M, W, Th evening, F

Display of book cover image
by Peter Lau 13 Mar '19

13 Mar '19

For the book cover images, if we choose both Google book and Amazon, for example, can we set up the system so that it’ll display the first one available with the order of preference of our choice? Currently, it’ll display multiple images if it’s available in both of them.
