This section provides information about your Koha installation. It is useful for developers and if you wish to report bugs or issues to the Koha community. 

Server Information

This section tells you which version of Koha and supporting software you are using. If possible, when reporting issues to the Koha community, always give details of which version of Koha you are using. Koha is under active development and it is highly likely that an upgrade to a more recent version will provide patches and bug fixes you require.

Administration Help

How to configure Koha?

There are two parts to the System Administration in Koha.

System Preferences

Koha has an extensive set of system preferences. The system preferences control all the various features within Koha and whether they are active in your install or not. System preferences are generally set once at install and then not changed. 

If  you are not sure what combination of system preferences to use, try using one of the sample profiles at install. Note: many preferences interact with each other. Turning on one system preference may require that others are also set. 

System Parameters

System parameters is where library policies are set and governed. It is best to set your system preferences, and then to work through the Parameters in the order that they appear on this page. 

Note not all system parameters are required to be set. For exampe if you do not plan to use budget based acquisitions, then Accounts and Budgets, Currencies and Exchange Rates can be ignored. For more detail, see the Koha Wiki (wiki.koha.org) and KohaDocs (www.kohadocs.org).

Cataloguing Help

How to edit a bibliographic record?

To edit a bibliographic record, use the cataloging search to find the record. This can be done either via the cataloging interface or the catalogue search. A search with in the Cataloging module will search the catalogue and the reservior (see below). 

How to add a new bibliographic record?

Use the "New Record" button to add a new record. Choose the framework that you will use to shape the bibliographic record. Frameworks are cataloging templates that can be created and edited under "System Admininstration". 

How to add new items to a record?

A bibliographic record needs items or holdings for it to show in the OPAC. There are two ways to add new items to a bibliographic record:

  1. Through Cataloging. After adding the new bibliographic record, you will be given the option to add items the record. One record can have many items.
  2. Through Acquisitions.  Items can be added to orders in acquisitions. Item details are added upon recieving the item. Using the acquisitions module for adding items allows you to track the libraries spend against funds and budgets.

What is the reservoir?

The reservoir is a holding area for bibilographic records that are not yet used in the library catalogue.  When an item arrives that matches a record in the reservoir, the two can be matched and the bibliographic pulled from the reservoir into the main catalogue. 

The reservoir can be populated with MARC records through the "Stage MARC Records for Import" under Tools.

Holidays Calendar Help

What is the Holidays Calendar?

The Holidays Calendar allows the library to define days where the library is closed. Circulation rules are then recalculated to taken in to account that library is closed and there will be no one present to return items. 

There are 2 types of holiday:

  1. Unique Holiday:One off events or closeures.
  2. Repeatable Holidays:Holidays that either repeat the same day of every week or repeated yearly on the same date.
Holidays are set per library and the same holiday will need to be set for all libraries in a system.

How to enable the Holiday Calendar?

To make use of the Holidays Calendar, the System Preference "useDaysMode" under Circulation needs to be set to "Calendar".

News Help

What is News?

News items are short, blog or news item type posts that can be displayed on both the OPAC and Staff Client main pages. News posts can be formatted using simple HTML code. 

How to post a News Item?

To add a new news item the following fields need to be completed:

Language

For single language setups, there will be 2 options here. One for the opac (language code) and the Librarian interface. For multilingual setups, multiple languages for the OPAC will show. News Items must be entered in all languages to show up for each language in multi lingual setups. 

Title

The title of the news post. Try to keep this short and pithy. Avoid long sentances. 

Expiration Date

This is the date the item should be removed from the news item listings. Note that the posting or publishing date of an item will default to today's date (where today is the date of entry). 

Appear in Position

An integer value (e.g 1,2,3). Items at position 1 appear at the top of the listings. If two items have the same position value then the order defaults to publication date, where the oldest item displays at the top posistion, and newer items are displayed under this.  

News

This is the content of the news item. Note that all news appears in line in the same page. Try to keep news items to no more than a couple of short paragraphs. If you wish to add images and embed them into your posts, then these will need to be uploaded to a web server somewhere and linked to using standard HTML image tags.
