Hello,

I have been playing around with Koha 2.0 quite a bit lately and below are some questions that I would love to get answered. I’ve listed them in order of importance.

1) Is there a way to print spine labels directly from Koha? I just need the dewey decimal number.

2) When I set up my personal library account, I gave myself permission to do everything. This fall, I will have students working at the library, but I don’t want them to be playing around with the parameters etc. I set up their permissions as follows.

I have found that because I am allowing them to “add or modify borrowers”, they can also change their own user flags. I can get around this by not letting them “add or modify borrowers”, but then they won’t be able to tell people whether or not they have overdue items out etc. Is there some other way around this problem?

3) Is there a way to do a keyword search for “DVDs” that would bring up a listing of every DVD in our collection? This would be a really neat feature.

4) What on earth are virtual bookshelves? I don’t understand this feature at all. Perhaps there is existing documentation that somebody could direct me to.

Thanks so much! Nicole
