[Koha] Reference books & books for loan

Sat Jun 13 01:30:08 NZST 2009

You'll need to assign your non-circulating books to one Item Type, and
your circulating books to another (you could use more Item Types if you
need to make more distinctions for statistical purposes).  If you do not
want to burden your patrons with this distinction in the OPAC, you can
then define a CCODE (in Authorized Values) for Books, assign both
circulating and non-circulating books to that CCODE, and switch the
AdvancedSearchTypes system preference (in the Searching tab) from
'itemtypes' to 'ccode'.

This is assuming you aren't already using CCODE for something else...

Hope this helps,

Subject: [Koha] Reference books & books for loan

In our library, there's a big part of books which a patron can read
inside of the library but which are not available for loan. There's
another part of the library which contains books for loan. I would like
to ask how is it possible to distinguish these categories in Koha. 

If I simply check the "Not for loan" field for items which are for
referene only, the OPAC search summary displays "No copies available"
(but they are available, but not for loan). 

I could also define that for ex. that books are not for loan (in the
"Item types and circulation" settings). But in this case I can't
distinguish books which are for loan.

Would anyone know how to resolve this difficulty?

Thanks
