This systempref is only for "MARC addict" ! * MARC21 : many plugins have been added (by joshua). It seems you now have as many plugins for fixed length fields in MARC21 than in UNIMARC ! Note that plugins help you filling a tag/subfield in the MARC editor. === MEMBERS === - + * patron images management. A new systempreference has been added (patronimages, in borrowers section). If set (to an image extension, like jpg or gif), the image will be shown on patron detail or circulation page. The images must be stored in KOHADIR/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/patronimages.

Once you've scanned everything in your library, just query for all books not seen since the beginning of the inventory, and you'll get "lost" books. === SERIALS === - * Adding item creation on the fly when recieving serial : if you activate systempref > Catalogue > serialsadditems, below the recieve of an serial, you'll have a form to create an item on the fly.
