--- Comment #12 from Galen Charlton <gmcha...@gmail.com> --- I think a feature to add support for recalls needs more fleshing out before being committed to master, since most other implementations I know of have additional components. The most important one is doing something to keep track of to whom the recalled item should be given. Other ILSs do this by treating a recall as a special kind of hold request. Note that if the feature were to allow patrons to place recall requests directly, that is something that is typically not offered to all patron categories -- for example, in an academic library, often it's only professors and maybe grad students who are allowed to recall books. Secondarily, I feel that there should be a related permission on whether a staff member is allowed to place recalls in the first place. Next, consideration should be given to whether recalls are allowed to shorten the loan period for the originally borrower. In addition, I know that some libraries impose higher fines if a recalled items is not returned promptly enough. Tying recalls into the holds system (or perhaps creating a separate class of recall request) should be considered a sine qua non, in my opinion. I have doubts that a feature that simply sends recall notices at (staff) will is going to be sufficient. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list Koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
