Another option is this: starting in Koha 3.14.0. there is a system preference that you can turn on called itemBarcodeFallbackSearch. Turning it on enables you to retrieve titles for checkout using a keyword search instead of a barcode lookup. Note that for this feature to work, you still need to have something in the barcode column of the items table, but it can just be a sequentially assigned number. For example, if that column is blank or null in all rows in your database, you could do something like this: UPDATE items SET barcode = itemnumber; You can then set the autoBarcode system preference to continue the sequence for any new items you add via Koha's staff interface.
