Circulation Check Out (Issues)

+

Check Out (Issues)

-

Q: How do I check out an item to a patron?

A: Start by scanning the patron’s barcode or type in their name to find their account. Once Koha has found the patron, you will see a new form for scanning or typing the item’s identifying number (usually a barcode). If the item can be checked out without problems, it will be done immediately and shown with other patron checkouts at bottom.

-

Q: How do I set up a sticky date?

A: If you wish to have this item and all subsequent items in this transaction to have a date due other than the default date due defined for the item type, use the “Sticky Due Date” to set the date due before scanning the first item.

-

Q: What to do I do if there is a problem with a checkout?

A: If there is a problem with an checkout, then a box will appear and ask for confirmation, if possible. Confirming will override the system and check out the item.

-

Q: What can I do with a blocked checkout?

A: If the checking out is really impossible (for example, the barcode does not exist), then you can’t confirm the checkout.

-

Q: What happens if an item is checked out to another patron?

A: Confirming will checkout the check out and automatically check in the item from the other patron account.

INFORMATION: BRANCH AND PRINTER SETTINGS. -

Before you begin, it is very important that you take note of the branch and printer settings and change them if necessary. This should only have to be done the first time you do circulations from a workstation, after which a browser cookie will remember the correct settings. If you do circulations under the wrong branch settings then Koha will reset the location of all items scanned to the incorrect branch and the statistical reports will credit all circulations to the wrong branch.

This will show you the number of items you have to order for your library to meet your library's hold per item ratio. By default it will be set to the library needing 3 items per hold that has been placed. The report will tell you how many additional items need to be purchased to meet this quota.

Circulation Check In (Returns)

-

How do I  check in (return) an item?

Simply scan or type the returned item's identifying number (usually a barcode) in the box provided.

-

What happens if a patron has debts?

A red box will alert you. Fines are calculated and posted the following day.

If you know the items all have fines or debts associated with them, you can chose to "Forgive All Debts" by using the Check box. By usiing this check box, no charges will be placed against the patrons account.

-

What happens if the item is on reserve?

A red typed alert saying "Reserve Found" will be displayed along with the Reserve listing information. Click on the confirm button to proceed. If the item is confirmed than the items status will be changed to "waiting". If the item is requested by someone in another branch, then you must validate the transfer.

WARNING: BRANCH AND PRINTING SETTINGS. -

Before you begin, it is very important that you take note of the branch and printer settings and change them if necessary. This should only have to be done the first time you do circulations (or returns) from a workstation, after which a browser cookie will remember the correct settings. If you do returns under the wrong branch settings Koha will reset the location of all items scanned to the incorrect branch

Questions

+

What happens if I check in an item that was thought to be lost?
+

+

+When you check it in you will get a message telling you that the book has been marked as found.  +

+

+This means that the Lost status is changed on the item back to available. +

+

How is the dropbox date is determined?
+

+

+Is it the last open date for the +checkout branch? Is it today's date minus one? Can the dropbox checkin +date be set? If the library is closed for four days for repairs, for +example, there would be more than one day needed for the dropbox date. +

+

+You will only have one dropbox date and that will be the last day that +the library open (determined by the holiday calendar) because there is +no real way to know what day the +books were dropped into the box during the 4 closed days. The only way +to change the effective checkin date in dropbox mode is to modify the +calendar. +
