Dear All I need to know if is recall function added to koha 3.8.1 or not if is not how i can add it or use it in this release Thanks for your effort Best Regards, Alaa BadriSystem and network administrator New Generation International Schools01227204728
Hi Alaa. Koha doesn't have this feature as far as I can see in 3.8.1 or 3.8.2 (happy to be corrected if it does). There is an abandoned RFC (request for comment) for this: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Recall_requests_RFC Recalls are also mentioned in this RFC: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Messaging_rewrite_RFC To add this type of feature you could log an enhancement request, develop it yourself if you have the skills, or sponsor the development e.g. through another developer or one of the commercial Koha support companies: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Enhancement_Request_Guidelines As a non-librarian my only comment is that this seems like a very strange 'feature' to have. I have an item checked out, someone else wants it and can't wait until it is returned by the normal due date (using the holds/reserve feature), but can then make me return it early! (I know what my response would be!). After a quick search on the internet it looks like something academic libraries might use. I could understand this type of feature if the loan period for an item was months or years. As 'they' say, every library is a little different....

University libraries have it, where a student may be allowed, say, 3 recall requests per year to allow for things that are real emergencies. I used it once when I needed to verify something a week before my thesis was due. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

To add this type of feature you could log an enhancement request, develop it yourself if you have the skills, or sponsor the development e.g.
And commit it back to Koha for all to use as well, I'm sure you also meant to say. :) Chris through
