[Koha] where to put a link to ILL?

2014-06-17 Thread Kohn, Karen
Hello, I just added a link to my library's Interlibrary Loan form in the OPAC, on the 'No results found' screen . However, I'd imagine that often someone will do a search and there will be *some* results, but not the item they are looking for. We are trying to think of somewhere else on the search

The idea of creating a fake patron was so he could scan the books rather than typing the titles. I see we can make a list by scanning barcodes as well, so we'll do that. Thanks. I don't see a report in the library that is limited to items on a particular list. Is there a simple way to do that.

Hello, I just got a note from a student worker who oversees circulation with a question about holds. She said, "Question: in Koha we are able to place books on hold so the patron should get an email when the book is checked in and placed on the hold shelf, but this system doesn't actually work."

I was told this was a known bug in the version that we are using (3.01.00.061). I imagine it’s been fixed by now, since we are a little behind on our upgrades. Maybe someone else can tell you which release has the fix. Karen Kohn Collection Development Manager Education and Sociology Lib
