Re: [Koha] New OPAC design

2019-04-01 Thread Michael Sutherland
Those colors are hideous. Did anyone think at all about accessibility? You can't even read the yellow lettering on white because of the lack of contrast. Perhaps this is a fine design for a younger audience (theme). However, when considering a new design you should consider how individuals with

Hi there Sarah! We use ILLiad for ILL, as many university libraries do. For lending, we check in/out the material lent in ILLiad and then check in/out to an ILL patron in Koha. We are working with ByWater Solutions and Atlas to enable NCIP v2 (or another protocol) for ILLiad to communicate

Kerrie, Which version of Koha are you running? You would likely need to modify the following report found on the Koha Reports Library to meet your need. https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library#Zero_Results_Searches M.

I do not know about the speed and I'm not an expert either. The beauty of the reports is that we can borrow them from others, save them and change them as needed, right? It is the same as the former query 'ExtractValue(marcxml' changing to ExtractValue(metadata'. All of the reports in the

Joel, Since Koha is OAI-PMH compliant, you could have EBSCO harvest the catalog and ingest it into EDS. Then everything in your catalog will be searchable in EDS. When Virginia Tech was using EDS, I had it done this way. Are you hosted or have you installed Koha on your own? I suggest speaking

Greetings! I do not believe that's correct. You may create a patron list with specific permissions for that group; when you add the patron to that list, then they'll have whatever permissions you assigned to that list. I do this for staff and student workers who have different permissions. Our
