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. http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5250 Kind Regards, Chris
