http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3262 Summary: OPAC needs syspref to show homebranch instead of current location on detail page Product: Koha Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 Component: OPAC AssignedTo: jmf@liblime.com ReportedBy: wizzyrea@gmail.com Estimated Hours: 0.0 Change sponsored?: --- In a library system where individual libraries have different call numbers, the display on the detail page is weird and misleading. Example: The location field shows an item is currently at Wellsville Library, with a Call Number of YA F MEY. A Wellsville patron consults the OPAC and asks a staff member "where is this item?" and staff member looks and says "This is not in our library, we don't have this call number" and has to look up the item in the staff interface (we have modified our staff interface to show homebranch on the detail page instead of the current location) to determine where Wellsville's copy is located in the library. /example In my opinion, the information of current location is largely redundant, because the status field shows whether the item is in/out/on hold/in transit/etc. Lots of times, patrons only want to know if the library they are standing in actually owns the item they want. I believe this should be a syspref so home location vs. current location column can be chosen (as well as the similar column in the staff interface) by the librarian without editing templates directly. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
