Yes, I waited until the very end of THURSDAY, but it is still Thursday. At least it is where I am. Anyway, George and I shall now bore you to tears with an exciting tale of two ways to count your borrowers. Aren't you glad you waited around for this? https://youtu.be/iFLj2rhgE6I Sincerely, Christopher Brannon koha-US Admin

The Terrific Every-Other-Thursday Training Videos | 609
by BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER 29 Jan '26

29 Jan '26

You fail. I fail. We all fail at one time or another. More often than not we fail at typing in our passwords correctly. Today, George will share a report that will highlight our failures in one neat report. Now you can see how well you fit in with the rest of your staff and patrons. But better yet, this report will show you trends on failure rates, and if anything should be addressed. So, go get a big spoon and a carton of ice cream and brace yourself while you take in this report. https://youtu.be/1YbuMqLXaMA Sincerely, Christopher Brannon koha-US Admin
