Hi All,
As the circ module for telnet isn't being maintained any more, was just wondering what people would think of the circulation module doing something along the following: 1. Librarian scans the card for the patron 2. Librarian scans the patron's items 3. Librarian scans a barcode that is stuck to the desk which signals 'next borrower'
As we have deployed Koha in a school, when it's 'borrowing time' we have 30 patrons and 100 books to process. Observation has shown that the only frustrating part for our teachers is where they have to move the mouse up to the 'Next Borrower' icon.
Hi Luke Heres a trick that works in 1.2.x releases I assume it will still work in 2.0.0. When ur finished with a borrower, try just hitting the return key (on the keyboard) That should automatically start a new borrower. If this works for you, it might negate the need to have the barcode signally next borrower. (Essentially a blank barcode signals next borrower to koha as it is) Chris -- Chris Cormack Programmer 027 4500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris@katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz
