Good Afternoon, I'm a tech person who is working with our church librarians to upgrade their software and they asked me a few things about KOHA that I'm not sure about. 1. Can we have an email sent whenever a hold is placed on a resource by a patron? This would allow us to notify the librarians so they can pull the resource. 2. How do we set the replacement costs for a resource? 3. How do we configure the system to automatically set fines for resources that are checked out? 4. Is there a way to show the amazon image of a resource if we don't have one available? We're currently on version 3.8.03 and I really don't know anything about library management so any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Josh

1. Can we have an email sent whenever a hold is placed on a resource by a patron? This would allow us to notify the librarians so they can pull the resource. Yes. There's also a Holds to Pull report. 2. How do we set the replacement costs for a resource? Populate items.replacementprice 3. How do we configure the system to automatically set fines for resources that are checked out? The Circulation and Fines Rules provide for this. 4. Is there a way to show the amazon image of a resource if we don't have one available? I'm not sure what you mean by #4 - certainly Koha has Amazon support. We're currently on version 3.8.03 and I really don't know anything about library management so any help would be very much appreciated.
So the manual is your friend: http://manual.koha-community.org/3.8/en/ Hope this helps, Bob Birchall Calyx
