[Koha] Self Check-Out

I know there used to be a self checkout module as I've seen it in documents
in the past.  It's mentioned on both the Koha and Liblime websites.  I
haven't seen it in the distribution in a while and I suspect it's
unmaintained and may need to be updated.  The good news is that I may be
totally wrong.

  Hello,

  I found this to work like this:

  1. After you create a user, MODIFY the user's privileges to CIRCULATE
only.
  2. The person will be able to LOGIN to Koha using the name and Password
provided.
  3. On the left side column of KOHA: CIrculatio Issues: Issue to: The
person inputs their name or their CARD number in the space.
  4. Hit ENTER or click SUBMIT and that person's will now be able to ISSUE a
book on the main screen using th BAR CODE of the book. Just enter the BAR
CODE and bam.

  The draw back to this is that the person can issue books to anyone else as
well.

  Hope I was clear enough. It is 12:30 am...

    Hi All,

    Just wondering if anyone knows if Koha has a self check-out option or
    what the easiest, most effective way to create this would be? Id like my
    patrons to be able to check out books themselves, but arent so keen on
    having the admin side of everything open to them to play with!

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
