[Lori Bowen Ayre]

FYI, I responded to Josh too...with slightly different answers!  I wish the
Koha list "replied to all" by default.....

Josh,

1.  Yes, see  the
emailLibrarianWhenHoldIsPlaced<http://manual.koha-community.org/3.10/en/administration.html#emailLibrarianWhenHoldIsPlaced>
system
preference.
2.  I think you have to create a manual invoice for lost items.  See
http://manual.koha-community.org/3.8/en/patroninformation.html#patronfines
3. See the circulation fine rules table.  More info here:
http://manual.koha-community.org/3.8/en/patscirc.html#circfinerules
4. yes.

The answers above can be dug up from the documentation which is more
complete for version 3.8 than 3.10 but you can find what you need with some
poking around.  See  http://koha-community.org/documentation/ for both
manuals.

Hope that helps!
