[Koha] questions on spine labels, permissions, & virtual shelves

[Nicole Hatch]

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.

 

FLAGS



superlibrarian 

Access to all librarian functions 



circulate 

Circulate books 



catalogue 

View Catalogue (Librarian Interface) 



parameters 

Set Koha system paramters 



borrowers 

Add or modify borrowers 



permissions 

Set user permissions 



reserveforothers 

Reserve books for patrons 



borrow 

Borrow books 



reserveforself 

Reserve books for self 



editcatalogue 

Edit Catalogue (Modify bibliographic/holdings data) 



updatecharges 

Update borrower charges 

 

 

 

 

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
