Re: [Koha] koha - consortia

2013-11-05 Thread Kivilahti Olli-Antti
I am not 100% certain , but I think:

In Koha there is only one catalogue. Catalogue contents are not divisible by 
the library, but for the items such a modification can be made. So you could 
search for biblios and limit the availability based on the items home library.

I don't understand what is the business value for your patrons if you could 
limit catalog searches by a permission?

Hi Mr Kivilahti,
Thankyou so much for your input in my question.

My main task is to find out if Koha could be used for our library which is part 
of a consortia of libraries.

Our library is part of a consortia. Each borrower at each library could search 
on other libraries catalogue but they have to be added to a special group of 
users known as smart that are allowed for this. could you please point out 
which feature of Koha that would allow this.

Thanks!

Hello Mr. Maileseni and Mr. Sasse.

A very interesting question.
Firstly you should tell us what kind of features you need for a consortium?

I know you can run a succesful consortium with zero consortial features
and probably this will be the best way for your staff and your patrons,
since it is really simple to have unified settings. It is also the most
clear solution to your users if you allow transportation of items
between libraries.

If you are not transferring material between libraries and want to limit
the availability of your items to a specific library, you can do that
with UseIndependentBranches-feature. If you want libraries A, B, and C
to form a sub-consortium and libraries D, E and F to form their own; and
limit permissions and holds and acquisitions between consortias, while
sharing the same user and bibliographic database, Koha wil limit your
barrier building, but you should aim to resolve those issues politically
by making compromises.

Tho if you have only 6 libraries I recommend you unify practices, let
everyone edit each others item and patron records and work more closely
together. It is proven that libraries deliver more success by working
together than building or maintaining artificial walls. Especially since
everyone is cutting our budgets.

 Our consortia has only six libraries, is there any way for me to test the

 Could you be a bit more specific? I administer Koha for a 32 member library

 well.



 Koha also allows for different overdue messaging preferences and checkout
 slip configurations for member libraries.

 Do a borrower search, tick off some borrowers.
 Just like adding books to a list, you pick Add to - new list
 Give it a name
 
 Then, what you can do with it - is BATCH MODIFY based on that list -

you really need to supply a little more information in order for people

Did you scan the right barcode?
Does the item exist already with this barcode?
Is the barcode being scanned displaying correctly?
