Hello, Is it possible to restrict access to files attached to bibliographic records based on patron category? We have a professor who wants to put a print journal on course reserve. It is a loose issue that is coming unbound, and I'm not comfortable in allowing it to circulate as a course reserve. It is covered under copyright and we do not have access to it through one of our full-text databases. One option is to simply scan the article the professor wants to use and make it available to students within the course management system. However, I was thinking that it would be helpful for the library to keep the scan in its collection for long-term preservation purposes. I was looking at a way to do this within Koha using an analytic (child) record and attaching the scan file to that record. Since it is under copyright, however, I would need to restrict access to the file to only faculty and students who are logged in to Koha. A compromise might be to restrict access to the file in Koha to only library staff (i.e., viewable in staff client only, if that's possible). Then the file could be shared with students through the course management system. Is it possible to use the upload files plugin in this way? How are other libraries managing preservation copies of texts that are protected by copyright? Any suggestions or other ideas are appreciated.
