Re: [Koha] How to handle the support providers list (was Re: Spam from BestBookBuddies (OpenLX))
I mostly just read this list but I thought I'd comment on this subject. I think this should be put to a vote. I think Chris has spelled out three good categories. It might be that there are one or two more categories. Just add those suggestions in the next day or two and then put out a poll.

Re: [Koha] [ByWater Partners] COPPA and self registration
I'm not sure how this is all that different from staff doing the registration. You need to protect patron privacy and that happens after the information is entered into the system, whether by staff or a patron. I'm not sure what would be done differently. Maybe I am missing something. ALA actually has lots about privacy policies, including COPPA, though I don't see anything specifically about the self registering in a library database: http://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/librarybill/interpretations/qa-privacy (and other places).

Re: [Koha] Intermittent issue: printing holds queue does not print all pages
We had this problem when using Firefox. We switch to Chrome for printing the hold queue list but do everything else using Firefox. On Mar 18, 2015 8:01 AM, Barton Chittenden bar...@bywatersolutions.com wrote: One of our partners has reported that when their holds queue spans more than one page of results, printing the queue may only print the first page. I.e. when the partner has a branch set, then navigates to home circulation holds queue and the holds queue spans several printed pages, only the first page will print. The partner has verified that there are no records with diacritics which might cause partial printing. I'm trying to collect more data for trouble-shooting purposes. Has anyone else run into this issue?

I have also asked them to refresh the browser to see if this clears it up. Because we're 8 time zones apart, trouble shooting sometimes takes a while. 1) After searching, and clicking through to a single record the search box at the top changes to patron search. (This I saw happen once, but after many searches, it hasn't happened again on my machine (Mac OS X and Chrome). 2) in normal view, a save record box appears below the item record box, which is something new and unnecessary.

Re: [Koha] Development for 'On Demand' Printouts of Overdue Bills
I'm not sure what the difference is in what you are suggesting and the overdue notices we are already able to print. I know that our libraries have set up a report for ovedues that are mailed. It took a bit of trial and error but seems to work well now. On Mar 25, 2014 9:18 AM, Lisa Gugliotti l...@hchlibrary.org wrote: Hi Koha Community, We are a small public library that is very interested in having the ability to print out overdue notices on demand for patrons who don't have email, or who don't want to share their email accounts with us. We'd like them in letter format so we can snail mail them out. We've tried Mail Merge from a Koha report, but it's difficult and tedious to get patrons with more than one item overdue to work correctly on a single bill. Would any other entities be interested in funding a development that would allow Koha to print individual overdue bills on demand?

Re: [Koha] Receipt Printer Recommendations
We already had some Star Micronics TSP100 receipt printers before we started with Koha in June. They seem to be working just fine.
