what's the importance of placing a reserve on an item? if the librarian searches for an item, will it displays all individuals whom place reserve/request on the said item? or in circulation, upon entering the borrower id, will all items he place a reserve be displayed? eric _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
Hi
what's the importance of placing a reserve on an item? if the librarian searches for an item, will it displays all individuals whom place reserve/request on the said item?
Yes it will
or in circulation, upon entering the borrower id, will all items he place a reserve be displayed?
If the borrower logs in they can see their own reserves, and if a librarian goes and checks the borrower record they can see the reserves as well - but that's not in circulation, that;s in borrowers. In circulation when an item that has been reserverd is returns it flags the librarian so they can set it aside. If the item gets to the point where someone else is being issued it, it will flag then as well, so that the librarian can either not issue it, or tell the borrower that they need to bring it back quickly. If you allow renewals in your library, if an item has been reserved the person who has it isn't allowed to renew it cheers Rachel ----------------------------- Rachel Hamilton-Williams General Manager Katipo Communications Ltd Phone: +64-4-934 1285 Mobile: 021 389 128 E-mail: rachel@katipo.co.nz Web: www.katipo.co.nz _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

what's the difference between "book bag" and place reserve?
OK they are quite different. Book Bag is basically saving that search, or biblio to a personal "scrap book" which I think only lasts as long as your session - so it's a short term quick save, and then you can mail it to yourself for later use (in a bibliography for example). A reserve is requesting that the library actually put that book aside for you to come in and pick up from the library to borrow. It's what you do when a book is already on loan to someone else. my current
version is 2.2.2, on this version i can place an item on my "book bag" even though I'm not log-in in the system does this bug already fix in version 2.2.2.b?
I don't know that the folks who speced/designed book bags would see that as a bug - but I have thought it would be nice to be able to save your book bag to your account though.

Saving the list to your account (or moving it to a virtual shelf) would be nice. Also, as I've mentioned before, if the book bag is the 'library shopping cart', the equivilent of 'checking out' is reserves -- so the book bag should allow bulk reserves. Any developers want to take a stab at improving the book bag?
