From a school perspective our whole purpose in a shared catalog was to borrow and see each others materials. So we turned independant branches OFF. I'm looking forward to the granularity of security options to lock users out of
the MARC record! You may need to add some attributes for schools - homerooms, grade etc. to run overdues. If they use student ID's you can probably load them right into the cardnumber field or create another attribute for barcode. We're going through the migration process with 67 schools to go live in January! Should be interesting! David Schuster Tim McMahon - West Liberty Public Library wrote:
I was thinking about that. I had to turn that off a while back to get returns to work, but returns seem to be working with IndependantBranches=ON now. Thanks

We're checking into the idea of adding the school district to a Koha 3 install. We were thinking of adding each school as a branch. We let Koha assign our patron barcodes and use our own item barcodes. The schools buy their item barcodes and use student numbers. There shouldn't be any overlap in our numbering systems. I'm looking for any tips on settings, importing items and patrons, things to look out for or anything else that would be helpful in a situation like this.
you already have IndependantBranches=ON, haven't you ? Otherwise, you should investigate this option ;-)
