> Yes, we do use the offline circ for our Bookmobile.
> We're generally happy with it but there are a few things to be careful of.
> Mostly related to making sure the data file that you upload to Koha is
> correct. If the patron barcodes are wrong checkouts get assigned to a null
> patron. When this happens you have to fix it with a SQL query replacing the
> null patron with a "real" patron. Also sometimes the barcode scanner misses
> a few digits on a item barcode so we look for that in the file before we
> upload.

> The other issue is that you need to be a superlibrarian to upload the files.
> This has caused some issues since I would not normally give library staff
> those premissions. Of the close to 200 staff at GCPL only 4 of us had
> superlibrarian permissions before we started using the offline circ program.
> I've had to add those permissions to 3 more staff just so they can do the
> uploads.
