Hello: Our overdues procedure is probably fairly similar to other libraries. Our Koha system sends out a first, second, and third letter at specified intervals. After that we begin a manual process that escalates through various steps. Before we get to a certain point, we want to start calling severely delinquent patrons on the phone, in hopes that a personal call will get a better response. So we need to be able to easily generate an overdues call list. To that end we approached our support vendor, Equinox, for some enhancement work to create a new customized overdues report (see http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8053). I am hoping to find one or two cosponsors for this small project. Rough Description: The end product would create a new report that would be linked from the circ menu page. It would produce an overdue list and function similarly to the holds to pull report. It will open within the Koha environment (i.e. not exported to a spreadsheet) and will be sortable by column and limitable by date, also similar to the current Holds to Pull report. The report will be printer-friendly (to the same extent that holds to pull is). Columns would include: > Patron barcode> Last name> Firstname> Phone number > e-mail address > Items list > Date Overdue since > Replacement cost > total Current fines owed (on account). It will be limitable to overdue issues that are at least x weeks past their due date and no more than 12. A date range could also be manually entered by staff as in the current practice with HOLDS TO PULL. The end product would be made available for consideration in mainstream community Koha. If you are interested and would like more specific details about the proposed development, you please contact me directly. The proposed development cost isn't huge - just a little more than we can take on by ourselves. If you think your library could benefit from this enhancement, and you would like to learn more about sharing costs, read the proposal specifics, etc. please contact me directly. It would be good to hear from you soon as our proposal expires in 90 days. Your advice is welcome too. Feel free to tell me if there is a better way to drum up co-sponsorship. Thanks for your time, Rich Boulet Richard Boulet Library Director Blue Hill Public Library 207.374.5515x13
