[Koha] koha-circulation policies and patron restricions

Fri Jul 27 22:02:11 NZST 2012

Dear Mr Satish, 

That is right I have done a similar configuration for a UP based medical
university. But with minor modification/changes. 

Membership Type
1. SC Students
2. ST Students
3. General Category

Item Type
1. Book (normal Koha defined book category)
2. Book Bank (BBK) 

Policy 
General Student : 
BK = 2 for 30 Days 
BBK = 0 books 

ST Students 
BK = 2 for 30 days 
BBK = 15 for 365 days 

SC Student 
BK = 2 for 30 days 
BBK = 15 for 365 days  

We went further they had a policy of not issuing books to PG students so we
have taken steps accordingly. 

Feel free to contact for any clarifications. 

Thanks and Regards

Hello Agnes,

I am into the role of developing a library from the scratch and we are using
Koha 3.6.2.
Currently we identified, 3 types of students (patron category) as follows.
1. General Student 2. Student from SC Community 3. Student from ST
Community.
and item type comprises only Books.  The collection comprises in only one
location.
1. General Stack 2. SC Book Bank 3. ST Book Bank.
And check-out criteria is as follows.
1. SC student can borrow max of 2 books from SC Book Bank ( for 1 semester)
+ 1 Book from General Stack ( for 15 days)
2. ST Student can borrow max of 2 books from ST Book Bank ( for 1 semester)
+ 1 Book from General STack ( 15 days)
3. General Student can borrow max of only 2 books (15 days) from General
Stack, and no books are allowed for checking out from SC and ST Book bank .

To work around, so for I tried to create, 3 item types - namely:
1. Books ( Default with koha) 2. SC Book Bank 3. ST Book Bank and with the
help of circulation rules, (item type and patron category), load period and
current checkouts have been updated accordingly and I am feeling so happy
after doing this.

Am I going in the right direction?? any other alternatives??

Thank You in advance.

Dear Friends,
In a previous letter I mentioned about problem in viewing "MARC View" in
OPAC.
MARC view display only Leader information and Item information.
Screen shot here,
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-F7FZ3iL-ZZ4/Ty0QI40BtcI/AAAAAAAAGfE/_U-HX
bPKnUQ/s400/koha-marc-view.png

My koha version is 3.6.3 on Ubuntu 10.04.03.

I just installed fresh koha on Ubuntu 10.04.03 again, the same problem still
persists.
Anybody else got the same problem?
I found the problem with Koha 3.6.2 and 3.6.3.

I hope that developers will seriously notice it and solve it soon.

Regards,

Hmm I have quite a few koha 3.6.3 installs and none of them have this
problem. How did you add the records and have you changed the frameworks?

Thank you for lot of responses.
I customized data entry fields in cataloguing using the following method,

http://ksrcas.pbworks.com/w/page/3809371/editingmarcframework

When I imported records using following commands, records are display
properly.

cd /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools

perl bulkmarcimport.pl -d -commit 1000 -file /home/koha/marcfilename.mrc

When I enter records manually and import manually, MARC Veiw display has
problem.
I am sure, my biblio data is in good condition.

Any idea about my problem?

Not sure about that one...

Koha 3.0.6 does not support sets. There is a patch for this bug, but
it is currently "Failed QA":

"Bug 6440 - Koha's OAI-PMH does not support sets"
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6440

Hopefully that will be fixed, so setscan be available in Koha version 3.8.

we can try this check:
-- open in catalogiung one of the records with the problem
-- Chnage framework from your to 'Default'
-- Save the record
-- Go to Opac and see the result.
