Re: [Koha] Password to allow loan of books
Hi Ingrid, thx for explaining! It's always great to learn new things about libraries and how they work in other places. Maybe file an enhancement request on bugzilla? It might help you to find other libraries with a similar requirement: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/enter_bug.cgi?product=Koha Katrin On 26.02.2018 18:33, Ingrid Schiessl wrote: Hi, I work with Camila, I'm a librarian!

Thank you for your response. The patrons are not using the staff interface.

Re: [Koha] Password to allow loan of books
No, there is not a way to do that, afaik. Why are patrons using the staff interface? Its for librarians. The OPAC is for patrons. It sounds like you need to investigate the Self Check-Out Module, as Katrin advised you a few days ago. See the manual. Bob On 25/02/18 11:09, camilabezerra wrote: Yes, I have a circulation rule.

Have you created a circulation rule?

Hi, how are you issuing the book? From the staff interface, the web based self check or a SIP2 based self check?
