Good day. This is my first post to the mailing list, so please bear with me if I tend to be a bit off on the culture of the mailing list. I am a database administrator at the National food technology Research centre in Botswana, www.naftec.org. I have installed and did a bit of customisations to the LMS , library.naftec.org for the centre.
I have a few libraries that have since requested the installation of Koha, but there is always a question of identification and non-repudiation. To solve problems of repudiation and authentication I have thought of introducing Biometric identification during check out and enrolment. Being new to both Koha and Perl, I have difficulties of where to start and where to introduce these customisations. I am a Java programmer, and in Java there are a few facilities such as AJAX and webservices that I could use to solve this problem. Please assist on this regard. Maybe I should share my thoughts: If possible, I am thinking of form submission to throw a picture picked somehow from the Finger print scanner and authenticate the Patron through Koha on the staff client. I am also thinking of a standalone GUI application to authenticate and authorise checkout but that clatters the workflow. Please assist.
