Re: [Koha] Koha Digest, Vol 187, Issue 25

Michael, My knowledge on this is limited, but off the top of my head, I would say no, you can't create an account through this method. As you said, Shibboleth is just about authentication. You could setup a link to the separate online registration, and have it in a category that would authenti

Re: [Koha] How to connect Koha 19.11 with OverDrive ?

Walid, The best info to follow is at https://bywatersolutions.com/education/overdrive-integration-in-koha. I did this and got things connected very quickly. The instructions have been revised to accommodate changes made in Koha and OverDrive. ___ Christopher Br

Re: [Koha] Self-service hardware question

Lisa, Our self check stations consist of a touch screen, a small computer that mounts to the back of the touch screen, a barcode scanner and a receipt printer. You don't need anything more than that. You can use Koha's self check software, or there is other software, free or paid. If you want

Re: [Koha] Easy way to temporarily disable hold notice

Can you simply not fill holds? Notices are generated if you fill holds. ___ Christopher Brannon IT Coordinator 702 E Front Ave Coeur d'Alene, ID 83814 (208)769-2315 Ext. 456 cbran...@cdalibrary.org www.cdalibrary.org Message: 2 Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2020 15:57:58 + From:

Re: [Koha] Taking patron images out of db into a directory

I would also like to suggest while you are doing this, please add a way to manage this directory from Koha. I would see it as a huge asset if an administrator could browse and manage these images, along with images for other things, such as cover images, or even an online repository an archive.

Re: [Koha] Item Limitation

There is a limit. I don't remember what it is, but I had to split a bib in two because some of our items were not showing. We have 403 items on one bib and 291 on another. I think we broke it up by date range on the items. The limit could be 450. I am not certain though. __

Re: [Koha] OPAC Browsing Kiosk

Joel, The best free kiosk software I have found is OpenKiosk. It is built off FireFox. I don't know that you will be able to do what you want with removing logins, holds and carts without some smart jQuery based on IP addresses. However, I can tell you, we use this in our library for

Yes, we have this exact setup. Just make sure you have SpineLabelAutoPrint set to do, and our SpineLabelFormat looks like this: That's about all there is to it. ___ Christopher Brannon IT Coordinator 702 E Front Ave Coeur d'Alene, ID 83814 (208)769-2315 Ext. 456 cbra

Re: [Koha] Development to allow batch cancellation of selected

And what happens to those holds once they are cancelled? Will they trigger the next hold, if there is one, or transfer back home? One of the reasons we don't use this tool is that it is slow. Another is that it doesn't trigger to go home or to the next hold. For those reasons, we find no com

Re: [Koha] Separate hold queues?

Andreas, Our consortium simply does not show the patron where they are in the queue. We find it to be misleading, due to the number of items available to be placed on hold, local holds priority, cancellations, and high demand loan periods that kick in. Plus there is the rare occasion a

To All Koha Users, I would like to take the opportunity to repost the invitation to everyone to participate in this year's Koha-US Annual Conference: Koha-US is calling for proposals for conference talks/presentations, round table discussions, poster sessions, etc. for its 2017 annual conferenc

Re: [Koha] Finding patron's previous card number?

Actually this is a very common problem. We run into the same issue here, and unless we record the change in patron notes, we have no way to know the old number unless the patron recalls it. It would be great if the logs recorded these types of changes. ___ Christopher B

Re: [Koha] Notes on Self Checkout

Regarding 5 - Why would anyone checkout items they don't have in their hands? Checking out from the cart seems like a good way to confuse everyone if the item can't be found. ___ Christopher Brannon IT Coordinator 702 E Front Ave Coeur d'Alene, ID 83814 (208)769-2315

Re: [Koha] [ByWater Partners] [Koha North America] Your suggestions for a new name of Koha NA

I think too many people have too much time on their hands to squabble about stuff. We could waste a LOT of time trying to come up with something wonderful, that rolls off the tongue, and is a cool acronym, and offends the least amount of people. I vote for Koha Super Duper User Group! ___
