[Koha] Acquisitions

[Jolanta Kaun]

We are using acquisitions and generally it works fine. Except couple
things:

1.	There is still a bug and I can not run a list of items received.
There is an amount in a summary but not titles. I wonder if others are
getting that list...
2.	When the item is on order, you actually do not see that in OPAC.
Our patrons only see the bib record without item attached. So you do not
know if the title is on order or it is some kind of a error record
without an item...
3.	Receiving of multiple copies is time consuming as well. For
example, we had 150 copies to receive and all of them had to be entered
manually. If you have done it with 10, you should know how it feels to
enter 150 barcodes, shelving places, etc.!

 

I am not mentioning any nice things that Koha has... If you are looking
for a free soft, it is still worth getting it!

Does anyone out there use the acquisitions function of KOHA? I've been
calling libraries in the U.S. that use KOHA and so far they all tell me
that they don't use the acquisitions. Several have told me, "they've
heard it leaves a lot to be desired," but can't give me a specific
reason why. Any feedback?
Thanks,
Leslie G.
