Hi,
I am not sure if someone is planning to implement the full specification as
written on the wiki, but there is some work in progress on taking opening
hours of the library into account:
Bug 8133 - hourly loans doesn't know when library closed

Hello,
I am creating a new library for our local charter school and I am having a
bear of a time. I would like Koha to generate barcodes as I catalog and then
print labels from the label creator.
I have set the appropriate option in the admin and the barcode generates in
the item record, but I cannot, for the life of me, get it to then print via
the label creator. In fact, it doesn't seem to be pulling any information at
all.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thank you,
Lichen
ps. Please email me directly, for some reason I do not get list updates.

I'd like to second Chris' question - I will normally only fill out a survey
if there is some explanation about what the data will be used for and what
happens to it. And if a survey asks for personal information like a name, I
am even more careful.

I'd like to 3rd that thought...
If this survey is for publication, information on attribution/anonymity
rules would be much appreciated. Informed consent, etc parameters would be
nice as even a survey is usually considered human subjects research!
Sorry to add to the paperwork...
Thanks,
Nick

Folks, it's a seriously vague survey. . . nothing to get worked up over.

Hardly qualifies as being worked up. I'd still like a public statement
about what the information is about.
If that counts me as worked up, so be it.

I'm not worked up...!
It is just for some institutions that have strict guidelines, not
being up front with that information (and the potential use of the
results) can be extremely problematic - involving questions of
compliance, and also can limit use of the results permanently. It is
also, to me, a courtesy thing generally!
This is one of those things it is better to be a bit over the top on,
and be squeaky clean about!, than otherwise. Getting a bad rap on
this sort of question is really hard to fix, too. Being totally OK on
this sort of thing means more groups/institutions can participate in
Koha... and contribute.
I'll be quiet now!
Sorry to jump back in on this on,
Nick
