hai, i think you have to set atleast following permissions to the students if you want to work with them,never give them the add/modify/create memeber. View Catalogue (Librarian Interface) parameters Edit Catalogue (Modify bibliographic/holdings data) these are the minimum required Tags to enter the data ,but i think there should be the permission to enter the data without playing with parameters.no one enter the data if parameter permission is not with him.

Hello,
I have been playing around with Koha 2.0 quite a bit lately and below are some questions that I would love to get answered. I've listed them in order of importance.
1) Is there a way to print spine labels directly from Koha? I just need the dewey decimal number.
2) When I set up my personal library account, I gave myself permission to do everything. This fall, I will have students working at the library, but I don't want them to be playing around with the parameters etc. I set up their permissions as follows.
FLAGS
superlibrarian
Access to all librarian functions
circulate
Circulate books
catalogue

parameters
Set Koha system paramters
borrowers
Add or modify borrowers
permissions

borrow

reserveforself

editcatalogue

updatecharges
Update borrower charges
I have found that because I am allowing them to "add or modify borrowers", they can also change their own user flags. I can get around this by not letting them "add or modify borrowers", but then they won't be able to tell people whether or not they have overdue items out etc. Is there some other way around this problem?
3) Is there a way to do a keyword search for "DVDs" that would bring up a listing of every DVD in our collection? This would be a really neat feature.
4) What on earth are virtual bookshelves? I don't understand this feature at all. Perhaps there is existing documentation that somebody could direct me to.
Thanks so much! Nicole
