Koha in schools: group patrons by class?
by FNPS Library 28 Apr '18

28 Apr '18

Hello everyone, I work in a primary school library in Melbourne, I'm looking at transitioning our library system from Oliver Junior to Koha. We have set up a test system to play with settings and so on, and I was hoping someone might have an idea for this. I want to be able to group students by class (e.g. 56A, 56B, 56C, etc.) for the purpose of finding them for checkout, and for grouping overdue notices. I thought of using a custom patron parameter, but I was wondering if anybody had a more elegant solution available. Thank you, Kind regards, Michael Barry.

Koha everywhere (and further)

Hi all, Here is a link to a News blog post from BibLibre in France. About a new Koha user in Antwerp, Belgium (yes my original homeland). https://www.biblibre.com/en/blog/koha-everywhere-and-further/ This give you a little insight <> * ...."But the most interesting aspect was search. Indeed, each director looking for a play suitable for the cast available in the group, requires a search facility that does exactly that, e.g. searching on the number of roles – per category – required to stage a play. A group with two women and one men won’t be interested in plays written for 6 children. So we setup specific indexes and setup a dedicated interface for searching on these criteria! " .....* I hope this sends you into the weekend inspired. Enjoy!
