If the Systems Preference for 'Virtual Shelves' has been enabled, both staff and patrons may create Lists. An item included on a List is directly linked to that item’s bibliographic record in the Online Catalog. Clicking on the item will take you directly the the item’s “Details Screen” and allow you to check for availability, find the item’s location or reserve the item. </p> </div> <h4><a id="importantpatrons_must_be_logged_in_to_their_account_online_to_create_and_edit_shelves" name="importantpatrons_must_be_logged_in_to_their_account_online_to_create_and_edit_shelves"></a>IMPORTANT: Patrons must be logged in to their account online to create and edit shelves.</h4> <div class="level4"> </div> <h4><a id="tipwhy_staff_might_use_virtual_shelves" name="tipwhy_staff_might_use_virtual_shelves"></a>TIP: Why staff might use Lists</h4> <div class="level4"> <p> Lists are a great tool for Reader’s Advisory. Staff can use Lists to create a variety of reading lists for borrowers (for example, according to age and reading level, or on specific topics). </p> </div> <h4><a id="tipwhy_educators_might_use_virtual_shelves" name="tipwhy_educators_might_use_virtual_shelves"></a>TIP: Why educators might use Lists</h4> <div class="level4"> <p> Lists can be used by professors to create a bibliography/ reading list for class assignments. Clicking on an item in a List connects directly to the details page of that item in the Online Catalog. Students can easily see where the item is in the library and whether or not ist is available for checking out. </p> </div> <h2><a id="qwhat_types_of_virtual_shelves_are_there" name="qwhat_types_of_virtual_shelves_are_there"></a>Q: What types of "Lists" are there?</h2> <div class="level2"> <p>Koha supports three types of Lists: </p> <ul><li class="level1"><div class="li"> Public: Anyone may view a public list, but only the person who created it may edit it.</div> </li><li class="level1"><div class="li"> Private: Only the person who created the list may view and edit it.</div> </li><li class="level1"><div class="li"> Free: Can be added to and changed by any user (not available when a shelf is created by Staff</div> </li></ul> </div> <h4><a id="tipborrower_uses_for_virtual_shelves" name="tipborrower_uses_for_virtual_shelves"></a>TIP: Patron uses for Lists</h4> <div class="level4"> <p>Patrons can use Lists to share their reading favorites/ preferences with other patrons by creating one or more “Public Lists”. By creating “Private Lists”, patrons can keep lists of what they’ve read, or what they want to read for research or recreation. “Free Lists” are a great way to create an evolving, community-based reader advisory. </p> </div> <h2><a id="qhow_do_i_create_a_new_virtual_shelf_from_the_staff_intranet" name="qhow_do_i_create_a_new_virtual_shelf_from_the_staff_intranet"></a>Q: How do I create a new "List" from the Staff Client?</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> To create a new List: </p> <ol><li class="level1"><div class="li"> Click on “Lists” (You should see the Lists that have already been created)</div> </li><li class="level1"><div class="li"> Click on “Add or Remove Lists”</div> </li><li class="level1"><div class="li"> Under “Add List”, enter a name for your new List in the “Name” field.</div> </li><li class="level1"><div class="li"> Choose a “Category” (”Public” or “Private”)</div> </li><li class="level1"><div class="li"> Click on “Add New List”</div> </li></ol> </div> <h2><a id="qhow_do_you_add_items_to_a_virtual_shelf_from_the_staff_intranet" name="qhow_do_you_add_items_to_a_virtual_shelf_from_the_staff_intranet"></a>Q: How do you add items to a "List" from the Staff Client?</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> A: You can add items to a List in one of two ways: by barcode OR through a search in the catalog. </p> </div> <h3><a id="to_add_items_by_barcode" name="to_add_items_by_barcode"></a>To add items by barcode?</h3> <div class="level3"> <ol><li class="level1"><div class="li"> Click on the List you wish to add items to.</div> </li><li class="level1"><div class="li"> In the “Barcode” field, scan or type the barcode and click “Save”</div> </li></ol> </div> <h3><a id="to_add_items_through_the_online_catalog" name="to_add_items_through_the_online_catalog"></a>To add items through the catalog?</h3> <div class="level3"> <ol><li class="level1"><div class="li"> Search for the item/s using the Quick or Advanced Search</div> </li><li class="level1"><div class="li"> Click on “Brief Display” in that item’s Details Screen</div> </li><li class="level1"><div class="li"> Click “Add to List”.
