4 </h2> <p> Lists are editable, permanent book lists. If the Systems Preference for Lists has been enabled, both staff and patrons may create Lists. An item included on a Virtual Shelf 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>

12 </h2> <p>Koha supports three types of Lists: </p> <ul><li> Public Shelves: Anyone may view a public shelf, but only the person who created it may edit it. </li><li> Private Shelves: Only the person who created the shelf may view and edit it. </li><li> Free Shelves: Can be added to and changed by any user (not available when a shelf is created in the Staff Intranet </li></ul>

14 </h4> <p>Patrons can use Lists to share their reading favorites/ preferences with other patrons by creating one or more “Public Shelves”. By creating “Private Shelves”, patrons can keep lists of what they’ve read, or what they want to read for research or recreation. “Free Shelves” are a great way to create an evolving, community-based reader advisory. </p>
