Is there any way to ask for password when a patron is trying to issue a book? -- Sent from: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-general-f3047918.html
Hi, how are you issuing the book? From the staff interface, the web based self check or a SIP2 based self check? Katrin On 23.02.2018 18:42, camilabezerra wrote:

Usually only staff with circulation permissions check out books for patrons from the staff interface, so there is no password required. If you want patrons to be able to check out books themselves take a look at the web based self check: https://koha-community.org/manual/18.05/en/html/05_circulation.html#self-che...

Have you created a circulation rule? Bob On 24/02/18 07:19, Katrin Fischer wrote:

Yes, I have a circulation rule. The problem is that the library staff wants the patron to use its password (inside the staff interface) as way to confirm that the books are being checked out and should be returned in 14 days. Is there any way I can do that? -- Sent from: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-general-f3047918.html
No, there is not a way to do that, afaik. Why are patrons using the staff interface? Its for librarians. The OPAC is for patrons. It sounds like you need to investigate the Self Check-Out Module, as Katrin advised you a few days ago. See the manual. Bob On 25/02/18 11:09, camilabezerra wrote:

Thank you for your response. The patrons are not using the staff interface. The librarians when checking out a book for a patron (at the staff interface) want this patron to confirm with their password. Something to mean as "I agree to check this book and return it at the proper date". I had a look at the self checkout module and is not quite what my librarians want. -- Sent from: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-general-f3047918.html
"I agree to check this book and return it at the proper date".
This statement should be on your library bulletin board or student handbook, or circulation rules, not in the ILS, Koha. 2018-02-26 0:42 GMT+08:00 camilabezerra <crego@hawk.iit.edu>:

Hi, I work with Camila, I'm a librarian! Together we're helping the libraries to install, customize and migrate data to Koha. The problem is, in Brazil it is very popular to ask a password to the patrons before the check-out. It is a local practice. Specificly in this library (the one we are helping with), they don't have a self check-out or chekc-in, hence the only way is to choose the book at the shelves and go to the front desk to do the check-out or check-in. So the check-out happens at the Staff Interface, and it is made by a librarian. What we need is a kind of plugin or tool to insert a password before the process of check-out is complete. Summarizing, it works like that: you choose your books, go to front desk, the person in there puts the barcode in the system and, in the end, the patron type a password to conclude your check out. 2018-02-25 21:11 GMT-03:00 Anthony Mao <maolins@gmail.com>:

Hi Ingrid, thx for explaining! It's always great to learn new things about libraries and how they work in other places. Maybe file an enhancement request on bugzilla? It might help you to find other libraries with a similar requirement: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/enter_bug.cgi?product=Koha Katrin On 26.02.2018 18:33, Ingrid Schiessl wrote:
