[Koha] Customizing self service to display title

[Jonathan Druart]

Hello Krishna,

What you want is not possible with Koha without code modifications.
You will have to hack Koha to make this change possible.

Do you have developer skills? If yes, you will want to add an ajax request
to a script returning the biblio title to display it in a popup. You can
take a look at the scripts in the svc directory of Koha for ajax script
examples. But there is no script already available to return the biblio
title from a given barcode.
I can provide help on the koha-devel mailing list if you are trying to
implement this change and you have specific questions.

Regards,
Jonathan
