I've got some code I need to bundle up into a patch that does Self Checkout by login and password, instead of barcode scanning, to give the system an added layer of security. I've been a little swamped, and haven't released this to Koha patches list as soon as I would have liked (it's available in the ByWater repo at http://git.bywatersolutions.com/?p=bywater-koha.git;a=commit;h=5c212fe159e7f..., but may need a rebase). I'll work on rectifying that this month. -Ian 2011/3/9 Chris Nighswonger <cnighswonger@foundations.edu>

Is anyone out there using the Koha OPAC as a self-checkout station? I ask because I know this can be done with Evergreen (King County Library System is doing it) and it makes a self-check station cost $300 instead of $2000. All they did was tweak the OPAC a bit and put a scanner (or RFID reader) on a low end PC and bingo...self check.
Has anyone tried that?
Hi Lori
Koha has a selfcheckout mode, which you can enable and then run Koha in this way too.
We run Koha in self-checkout mode on a workstation nearly all of the time. It works a trick. I have some modifications in the queue which need to be rebased against the current master and re-submitted which might interest you as well.
