若您已選擇 『總是立即顯示借出』 則將在借出盒之下看見借出清單。

Checkout screen with checkouts displayed

說明

The previousIssuesDefaultSortOrder system preference controls in which order these previous checkouts appear (earliest to latest, or latest to earliest).

說明

You can customize the columns of this table in the 『Table settings』 section of the Administration module (table id: issues-table).

At the top of the check out screen is a box for you to type or scan the item’s barcode into.

重要

Many modern barcode scanners will send a 『return』 to the browser, making it so that the 『Check out』 button is automatically clicked

  • 若該館藏沒有條碼,系統將提示您以快速編目的方式,把條碼加入。參閱本手冊的 快速編目 章節。

  • If you have itemBarcodeFallbackSearch set to 『Enable』, then you can enter a keyword search in this box instead of just a barcode (this will make it possible to check out using title and/or call number).

  • If you have AutoSwitchPatron set to 『Enable』, scanning a patron barcode here will take you to that patron’s file.

按下 『借出設定』 連結,就能夠擴展借出的其他設定選項。

Checkout box with checkout settings section opened

在條碼盒之下,可能的選項供您取代預設的到期日。

Below the box for the barcode you will see a checkbox for 『Automatic renewal』. This will allow this item to automatically renew if the appropriate cron job is running and there are no holds on the item.

Next is an option to not decrease the loan length based on holds. This overrides the decreaseLoanHighHolds system preference.

若允許 臨櫃借出館藏 (通常該館藏不外借且僅限館內使用),則在點選 『借出設定』 連結企圖擴展流通選項時,可看到 『臨櫃借出』 點選盒。

Checked out items can be renewed (checked out for another period of time) based on your circulation rules and renewal preferences.

允許續借,讀者可以經由 OPAC 續借它,但有時仍需要從館員介面續借。

可從以下兩件事,續借給讀者。

首先進入讀者詳情頁面或借出頁面並檢視下方的借出摘要。

image518

In the Renew column you will see how many times each item has been renewed and a checkbox to renew the item for the patron. Check the boxed of the items you would like to renew and click the 『Renew or return checked items』 button, or to renew all items checked out to the patron simply click the 『Renew all』 button.

image519

設定 AllowRenewalLimitOverride 偏好為 『允許』,繞過借閱規則不允許續借的規定。若允許繞過借閱限制,需勾選左流通摘要左下角的勾選盒。按該盒並選擇續借的館藏。

image520

按此盒將在續借欄新增勾選盒供續借館藏之用。

第二個方法是進入流通選單下的 『續借』 頁面。

image521

然後掃瞄館藏條碼就能續借該館藏。

預約

Koha allows patrons to put things on hold. A 『Hold』 is a way to reserve an item. Depending on your circulation and fines rules and hold preference settings patrons will be able to place items on hold for pickup at the library at a later date/time.

Placing holds in staff client

There are several ways to place holds from the staff client. The most obvious is using the 『Place hold』 button at the top of any bibliographic record.

image545

You can also click the smaller 『Place hold』 link found at the top of your catalog search results, or the 『Holds』 link found below each result.

image546

以讀者的條碼或名稱的任何部份搜尋讀者,進入預約程序。

image547

打開讀者紀錄,再勾選上方的 『搜尋預約』 鈕,就可以找到該讀者的預約情況。

image548

點選之後,將進入目錄搜尋頁面,可找到需預約的館藏。在結果的題名旁有個 『供讀者預約』 的選項。

image549

對套書預約時,勾選左方的盒,並 『預約』 鈕的選擇向右箭頭。

image550

依照同時選定的預約館藏數,您可以看見不同的預約表單。若在一個書目紀錄內預約,可看到所有預約的館藏。

image551

  • 鍵入適用於此預約的任何說明

  • 選擇讀者提取館藏的圖書館

  • AllowHoldItemTypeSelection 偏好設 『允許』 且該筆記錄有多筆館藏類型,則可選擇預約特定的館藏類型

    image1259

  • 在 『於此日期預約』 欄位鍵入日期,就從該日開始預約而不是今日

  • 在 『於此日期後不要預約』 鍵入日期,就在在該日期之後不再預約此館藏,或經過指定時日仍未收到館藏也不再預約此館藏

    • To have expired holds cancelled automatically you will need to have the Expired holds cron job set to run on a regular basis.

  • 接著點選館藏旁的圓點,藉以預約下個可用的館藏或指定館藏。

預約套書時,將出現下個可用的選項。若無館藏可供預約,也將出現確認畫面。

image552

Once your hold is placed, if you’d like to have Koha forget that you used the 『Search to hold』 function, you can choose to have Koha 『forget』 the patron’s name by clicking the arrow to the right of the 『Place hold』 button on the search results and choosing the 『Forget』 option.

image553

Managing holds

Holds can be altered and cancelled from the holds tab found on the left of the bibliographic record.

image554

從預約清單可以改變預約順位、提取圖書館、延遲與取消預約。

image555

說明

If you have your AutoResumeSuspendedHolds preference set to 「Don’t allow」 then you will not have the option to put an end date on the hold suspension.

說明

If you have your AllowHoldDateInFuture preference set to 「Don’t allow」 you will not have the option to edit the date the hold was placed (the column labelled Date).

說明

If you have the HoldsSplitQueue system preference set you will see the holds list split across different tables by either pickup library, itemtype or both.

說明

Depending on how you have your HidePatronName system preference set the list may show card numbers instead of names in the patron column like in the image above.

從 『優先次序』 下拉選單選擇,或按著右方的箭頭,就能重新排列或刪除預約。

image556

若使用優先下拉選單重新安排或刪除預約,則需要按下 『更新預約』 鈕,儲存改變。

勾選預約右方的向下箭頭,無條件地將預約拉向清單的下方。

例如,為了服務不便出門的讀者,有些館藏必須滯留在該讀者處長達數月之久。如果新到館藏被該等讀者先借出,顯然有失公允。因此,不便出門讀者的預約將留在最後,先滿足其他讀者的預約。

image557

If a patron asks to have their hold suspended and you have the SuspendHoldsIntranet system preference set to 『allow』 you can do so by clicking the 『Suspend』 button to far right. If the patron gives you a date for the items to become unsuspended you can enter that in the date box and click the 『Update hold(s)』 button to save your changes.

image558

按預約列右方紅色的 『X』 就能刪除或取消預約。從每列左方的下拉選單選擇 『刪除』,再按清單下方的 『更新預約』,就能刪除/取消多個預約。

image559

If your library uses the patron clubs feature, use the clubs tab to place a hold for a club. To place a hold for a club, click the clubs tab, search for and select the club name, and click the 『Place hold』 button.

image1460

Receiving holds

被預約的館藏 還入 或 :ref:`借出 <check-out-(issuing)-label>`時,系統會提醒流通館員該館藏已被預約,並提供管理該預約的選項。

還入被預約的館藏時,系統會要求館員確認該預約或轉移館藏

image560

或僅確認預約

image561

Clicking the 『Confirm』 button will mark the item as on hold for the patron. If the item needs to be transferred the item will also be marked as in transit to the proper branch. Clicking 『Ignore』 will retain the hold, but allow you to check the item out to another patron. Choosing to confirm and print will present you with a printable page that you can slip inside the book with the necessary hold and/or transfer information.

確認後,預約將顯示在讀者紀錄與借出頁面的 『預約』 分頁。

Table of patron's current holds

可以從這個地方逐一或批次延後讀者的預約。

此館藏紀錄將顯示該館藏已被預約。

image563

In some cases a patron may come in to pick up a hold on behalf of someone else. In this case you want to make sure that the hold is cancelled when you check the item out to someone else. Alternatively a check out might be attempted in error for an item that is already waiting for someone else. In this case you will be presented with a warning message.

image564

From here you can check the item out to the patron at the desk and cancel the hold for the patron. If the hold should remain in place you can choose not to check out.

If you try to check in an item that already waiting on the hold shelf you will be presented with the following message.

Hold found item is already waiting checkin message

From here you can click on 『Confirm hold』 to keep the existing hold or use the 『Cancel hold』 option to remove the hold. If you cancel the hold and further holds exist for the item you will be presented with a new option to confirm the hold for the next patron.

Circulation reports

在報表模組可找到大部份的報表,但常用的流通報表可從流通模組右方找到。

  • 到那裡: 流通 > 流通報表

Holds queue

This report will show you all holds waiting to be pulled off the shelf at your library.

image577

說明

  • You can customize the columns of this table in the 『Table settings』 section of the Administration module (table id: holds-table).

To generate this report, you must have the Build holds queue cron job running. This cron job is a script that should be run periodically if your library system allows borrowers to place on-shelf holds. This script decides which library should be responsible for fulfilling a given hold request.

It’s behavior is controlled by the system preferences StaticHoldsQueueWeight, RandomizeHoldsQueueWeight and UseTransportCostMatrix.

不讓所有圖書館參與館藏滿足預約計畫,應列出 *要* 參加該計畫圖書館的條碼,並以逗點區隔(如:」MPL,CPL,SPL,BML」 等)。

By default, the holds queue will be generated such that the system will first attempt to hold fulfillment using items already at the pickup library if possible. If there are no items available at the pickup library to fill a hold, build_holds_queue.pl will then use the list of libraries defined in StaticHoldsQueueWeight. If RandomizeHoldsQueueWeight is disabled (which it is by default), the script will assign fulfillment requests in the order the branches are placed in the StaticHoldsQueueWeight system preference.

For example, if your system has three libraries, of varying sizes ( small, medium and large) and you want the burden of holds fulfillment to be on larger libraries before smaller libraries, you would want StaticHoldsQueueWeight to look something like 「LRG,MED,SML」.

若期望各圖書館平均分擔預約的任務,應啟用RandomizeHoldsQueueWeight偏好,將隨機將預約分配給各圖書館。

An alternative to static and randomized is using the Tansport cost matrix. It takes precedence in controlling where holds are filled from and allows you to define the 『cost』 of transport between any two libraries. To use the Transport cost matrix simply set your UseTransportCostMatrix preference to 『Use』.

預約到館待提取

This report will show you all of the items that have holds on them that are available at the library for pulling. If the items are available at multiple libraries then all libraries with that item available will see the hold to pull until one library triggers the hold.

If enabled, clicking the Mark item as lost button will mark item as lost and notify the requesting patron depending on the value of the CanMarkHoldsToPullAsLost system preference.

image578

說明

  • You can customize the columns of this table in the 『Table settings』 section of the Administration module (table id: holds-to-pull).

You can choose which LOST value to set the item to with the UpdateItemWhenLostFromHoldList system preference.

Items that have been on the hold shelf longer than you normally allow (based on the ReservesMaxPickUpDelay preference value) will appear on the 『Holds over』 tab, they will not automatically be cancelled unless you have set the cron job to do that for you, but you can cancel all holds using the button at the top of the list.

Article requests

Article requests are somewhat similar to holds, but are not requests for an item to check out. Instead, article requests are requests for a photocopy of a particular section of a book or an article from a serial issue. This is very common in academic libraries where researchers may request a copy of a single article found in a journal.

Setting up article requests

First, enable your system preference for ArticleRequests.

Set to 『Enable』 patrons to place article requests.

接著決定讀者請求論文的方式,記錄、館藏、或兩者兼顧。

You can set 3 different system preferences for mandatory fields to be filled in depending on how your records are requested.

Next you will want to go into your circulation and fines rules matrix and select each rule for which you want to allow requests.

You can allow requests to be made at the record level, item level, yes (which means both) and no (which means no article requests may be placed).

Placing article requests

接者可以從館員介面或 OPAC 提出請求。

In the staff client, on the record details page, you will see a 『Request article』 button at the top and an 『Article requests』 tab to the left. The two options lead to the same page.

image1394

Just like a hold, you will be prompted to enter the patron’s card number or name.

image1395

Fill in the form.

image1396

說明

Remember, the mandatory fields are set through the three system preferences ArticleRequestsMandatoryFields, ArticleRequestsMandatoryFieldsItemsOnly, and ArticleRequestsMandatoryFieldsRecordOnly.

If allowed, choose the specific item to request.

Then, click on 『Place request』.

From the OPAC, patrons can place requests themselves either from the results list

image1397

or by going to the detailed record.

image1398

As with a hold, if the patron is not logged in, they will be asked to do so.

The form is the same as the one in the staff interface.

image1399

If allowed, the patron can choose the specific item to request.

From their acocunt, the patron will be able to follow the progress of their request from 『pending』

image1400

to 『processing』.

image1401

The patron will also receive an email notification when the status of the request changes.

Once the request is completed the patron will receive an email notification and the article request will no longer appear in their account.

Managing article requests

提出論文請求後,可在館員介面首頁的下方看到該請求。(就是標籤、評論與修改的位置)。

image1402

館員可以選擇進入繼續執行的程序。

image1403

The first step would be for a staff member to process the request, that moves the request to the processing tab and alerts other staff members that the request is in process. In the actions column, click on the dropdown menu and select 『Process request』. This will move the request to the processing tab.

image1404

然後,館員到書架取出該被請求的論文。

Once that is complete, staff can print the article request slip (this can be customized in notices and slips under AR_SLIP) and staple or paper clip it to the article. In the actions column, you can select the dropdown and select print slip.

最後,從行動下拉選單點選論文請求完成,等同告知讀者到館提取。

從處理分頁中自動移除該論文請求。

說明

Actions can also be made in bulk by checking the boxes next to the requests to process or by clicking 『Select all』, and choosing the new status from the actions menu on top of the table.

image1405

逾期

重要

對於讀者眾多的圖書館,此報表可能極為費時。

說明

可把 FilterBeforeOverdueReport s系統偏好設為 『必備』,在執行此報表前先篩選它。

此報表將列出您圖書館所有的逾期館藏。

image585

說明

  • You can customize the columns of this table in the 『Table settings』 section of the Administration module (table id: circ-overdues).

以報表左方找到的選單選項可以篩選報表。

說明

按 『顯示目前借出的館藏』 盒,把逾期報表改為借出報表。將顯示所有的到期日的借出館藏。

逾期罰款

此報表將列出被罰款的逾期館藏。

image586

可使用上方的下拉式表單,限制表單的範圍為圖書館特定書架。改變您的圖書館 或登入其他圖書館,就能看到其他圖書館的逾期罰款。

重要

If you do not charge fines and/or don’t have the fines cron job running you will see no data on this report.

待決的現場借出

使用臨櫃借出功能時 (OnSiteCheckouts),就有可檢視所有現場借出館藏的報表。

image1260

此清單將列出到期日 (逾期則以紅色顯示)、借出者、館藏資訊與館藏所在地。

Tracking in-house use

很多圖書館追蹤館藏在館內的使用情況。

說明

This is different from tracking on-site usage. In-house use is the use of items in the library by patrons without them having to check them out. On-site use is the use of items on site that must first be checked out. To learn more about on site usage please review the OnSiteCheckouts preference.

Koha 以兩種方式取得館內使用的資訊。新增 統計館員 是其中一個選項。將移動過的館藏視為館內使用的館藏,借給統計館員:

image587

Koha 不會記錄其為 『借出』 而把它們視館內使用:

image588

對所有在館內使用的館藏重複此步驟,確保正確統計館內使用。

另個記錄館內使用的方法是設定 RecordLocalUseOnReturn 偏好為 『記錄』。還入未借出也未被預約的館藏都算是館內使用。

image589

說明

設定 RecordLocalUseOnReturn 為 『記錄』 的同時,仍可併用統計館員計算館內使用量。

Self checkout

Koha comes with a very basic self checkout module. To enable this module you need to set the WebBasedSelfCheck system preference to 『Enable.』 To use this module you have to log in as a staff member with self_check permissions.

說明

為自助借出模組新增一個專屬 館員 就可以了,不必以真的館員身份登入一整天

There is no link to the Self checkout module, but a simple addition to the OPACUserJS system preference can add one.

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#login .btn").parent().after("<p><a href=\"http://YOUR_KOHA_OPAC_URL/cgi-bin/koha/sco/sco-main.pl\" target=\"_blank\">Self-Checkout</a></p>");
});

**Important**

The code above has line breaks added to make it more readable,
please be sure to enter the above as one line in when putting it in
the system preference.

在登入頁面下方,該連結看起來是這樣:

image591

You can also access this module by going to: http://YOUR_KOHA_OPAC_URL/cgi-bin/koha/sco/sco-main.pl

When on the self checkout page, depending on the value in your SelfCheckoutByLogin system preference you will be asked to enter your cardnumber

image592

or your username and password

image593

登入自助借出模組後,再要求掃瞄借出的館藏條碼

image594

掃瞄館藏的條碼,將出現在條碼盒之下

image595

所有欲借的館藏都掃瞄完畢,按下 『完成』 鈕。接著提示列印收條,再登出自助借出模組。

image596

出現錯誤時,螢幕指示讀者回到櫃台辦理借出手續。即使允許凌駕流通功能,亦可能發生錯誤。祗有館員才能凌駕流通的鎖定,讀者必須回到櫃台,由館員辦理借出手續。

image597

Self check-in

In order to use the self check-in module, you must first set the :ref: SelfCheckInModule <selfscheckinmodule-label> system preference to 『Enable』.

Then, you will have to create a patron with the self_checkin_module permission.

說明

Create a staff patron specifically for this action so that you don’t leave a real staff client logged into a computer all day. You can give this patron only the aforementionned permission so it cannot be used for anything else.

Once this is done, you can head over to the self check-in page: http://YOUR_KOHA_OPAC_URL/cgi-bin/koha/sci/sci-main.pl

Log in with your staff patron with self check-in permissions

Once the computer or kiosk is set and the self check-in user logged in, patrons will be able to check-in their items themselves.

image1331

The patron will either scan the item’s barcode, if the computer is attached to a barcode scanner, or type in their item’s barcode in the box and click 『Add』 or press enter.

說明

Most barcode scanners will automatically hit return after scanning.

Once they have scanned or entered all their items』 barcodes, they can click on the 『Check-in』 button to return all the items at once.

重要

If the patron doesn’t click the 『Check-in』 button, the items will not be returned and will stay in their account.

重要

The self check-in module will not warn user if the item is late, if they have fines, if the item is on hold for someone else, or if they have messages in their account.

image1332

They can then click 『Finish』 to return to the main self check-in page.

image1333

說明

If the patron doesn’t click 『Finish』, the screen will refresh after the timeout period specified in the SelfCheckInTimeout system preference.

說明

Even if the patron doesn’t click 『Finish』 the item will still be checked in from their account.

You can cutomize the look of your self check-in screens by using the SelfCheckInUserCSS system preference or the SelfCheckInUserJS system preference.

You can add content, like instructions on how to use the self check-in system for example, by using the SelfCheckInMainUserBlock system preference.

Statistics about the transactions made through the self check-in module are logged into the action_logs table in the Koha database. You can therefore build a custom report to get the statistics you need.

Offline circulation utilities

Koha 允許以下列三種方式辦理離線流通。

Offline circulation in Koha

若將 AllowOfflineCirculation 偏好設為 『啟用』,在離線時,就能繼續執行流通業務。在連線狀態下,至少進入 http://your-koha-staff-client-url/cgi-bin/koha/circ/offline.pl 一次並書籤它。這是離線時要進入頁面。

重要

此離線介面採用 HTML LocalStorage,依瀏覽器及使用者的設定,每個網域容量限制在 2.5MB 或 5MB 之內。大型圖書館無法以此方式同步其資料,建議使用:ref:Firefox <firefox-plugin-label>Windows 的離線流通外掛程式。

設定

第一次使用離線流通功能前,先進入流通模組,點選 『建立離線流通介面』

image598

點選畫面右方的 『同步』 連結,就能同步流通電腦與伺服器的資料。

image599

重要

此離線介面採用 HTML LocalStorage,依瀏覽器及使用者的設定,每個網域容量限制在 2.5MB 或 5MB 之內。大型圖書館無法以此方式同步其資料,建議使用:ref:Firefox <firefox-plugin-label>Windows 的離線流通外掛程式。

允許您下載本地的讀者與流通資料。勾選頁面上方的 『下載記錄』 連結,同步您的資料。

image600

資料下載之後,您將在資料集右方看到同步的最新日期。

image1261

定期執行此作業以備發生意外的斷線。

流通

離線時進入 Koha 的離線流通頁面 (http://your-koha-staff-client-url/cgi-bin/koha/circ/offline.pl) 並按 『借出』 或 『還入』 執行離線作業。

在 『借出』 頁面以條碼或名稱搜尋該讀者確認完成借出。點選讀者後,出現罰款與借出等讀者資訊。

image601

借出時,掃瞄館藏的條碼,鍵入到期日。若未鍵入到期日,Koha會提醒您。

image602

館藏借出後將顯示在讀者資訊頁面。

image603

Koha offline uploading

Once the system is back online visit the 『Synchronize』 page on the Offline circulation module and click 『Upload transactions』

image604

上傳檔案後,按右方的 『檢視待處理離線流通作業』 鈕。

image605

按 『檢視待處理離線流通作業』 鈕後,進入上傳至 Koha 的 *.koc 檔案,檢視其摘要。

image606

  • 離線流通檔案上傳之後,再選擇全部或部份處理,把它們匯入Koha。

  • Click on the 『Process』 button and Koha will record every stored transaction one by one. For each transaction, the status will change to:

    • 「成功」 若正確轉移館藏

    • 「找不到借閱者」 若借閱者號碼不正確

    • 「找不到館藏」 若館藏條碼錯誤

    • 「館藏未借出」 若還入可借出的館藏

做好後,將出現所有交易的摘要

image607

Firefox plugin

Firefox 有官方的 Koha 離線流通外掛程式。進人 https://addons.mozilla.org/en/firefox/addon/koct/` 頁面,點選 「現在安裝」 鈕。確認安裝後,再按 「現在安裝」,安裝完畢後,重新開啟 Firefox。

Once you have installed the plugin and restarted Firefox, you will see the Koha logo in the download bar at the bottom right of Firefox.

image608

按該商標將以自己的視窗開啟該工具。

image609

The plugin connsists of three sections:

  • The 『Check out』 section is where you check out items

  • The 『Check in』 section is where you check in items

  • The ‘Transactions’ section is where you can track the transactions done while in offline mode

    • The transactions will keep information until you empty it.

      image610

      If you’d like to clear the transactions, click the 『Clear』 box before hitting the 『OK』 button.

The first thing you want to do then is to set up the plugin. Proceed to the settings page, linked in the top right of the page or under ‘Configuration page’ in the Transactions section.

image611

Answer the 5 questions presented:

  • 伺服器 = 館員介面的 URL

  • 使用者名稱 = 館員登入帳號

  • 密碼 = 館員帳號密碼

  • Branch code = the code for the branch where you are located

  • Commit Type = If you select ‘Send data to Koha’, your account will need to be approved by an administrator. If you select ‘Apply directly to Koha’, your account will not need to be approved.

    重要

    必須關閉外掛視窗,再按附加欄的 Koha 商標重新開啟外掛,就能儲存這些設定。

    說明

    可新增一個館員帳號,專門做離線流通的工作。不論誰輪值流通工作,都以同個帳號登入。在這個情況下,可以使用已經擔任流通的群組登入。

設定完成後,就可以開始借出與還入作業。

借出:

  • Under the 『Checkout』 heading

  • 掃瞄讀者條碼

  • 掃瞄館藏條碼

  • Click 『Checkout』

還入:

image613

  • Under the 『Checkin』 heading

  • 掃瞄館藏條碼

  • Click 『Checkin』

Each time, you check out or check in an item, a new transaction is recorded in the local plugin database. This is recorded in the Transactions section bellow.

image615

說明

維持在離線且未把交易納入 Koha,其狀態就是 「在地」。

恢復連線後,應立即將交易資料上傳至 Koha。在此之前,還有幾點事項該注意。

Because you are not connected to your Koha database when using this plugin holds will need additional processing. If an item you check in while offline has a hold, the hold is kept on the item. Since, you can’t confirm holds found during the processing of every check in, the holds stay on the item and will need to be managed later. If you only checked in a few items you can just keep a record of them all. If you checked in a lot of items you can use the Holds queue once it rebuilds to see what holds made it to the shelf erroneously.

同樣的,若讀者證過期,離線流通工具不會知道它,仍可借出給被停權的讀者。

有兩個選項處理這些資料

A screenshot of the KOCT Checkout section

  • Apply to Koha

    • If you checked in/out on more than one computer at the same time, what you want is to process every transaction consistently. Let’s say for instance that one patron checked a book out on one computer and then checked the same book in on another computer. To be consistent, you need to record the check out first and then the check in. Not the opposite! To do so, you need to group every transaction in one place, sort them all and then, process everything. So, you need to use the 「Apply to Koha」 option from every plugin/computer you worked with. This way, the log will go to Koha and be accessible from the Offline Circulation page.

      image616

    • 到那裡: 流通 > 待處理離線流通內容

      image617

    • 離線流通檔案上傳之後,再選擇全部或部份處理,把它們匯入Koha。

    • 按處理鈕後,Koha 將逐一處理儲存的離線流通交易記錄。每個離線流通交易,其狀態可能為:

      • 「成功」 若正確轉移館藏

      • 「找不到借閱者」 若借閱者號碼不正確

      • 「找不到館藏」 若館藏條碼錯誤

      • 「館藏未借出」 若還入可借出的館藏

    • 做好後,將出現所有交易的摘要

      image618

  • 直接應用

    • 若在同一部電腦執行所有的流通作業,所有的交易都已經排序好,可以選擇 「直接應用」

    • 狀態欄將更新,讓您知道交易是否已被應用

      • 「成功」 若正確轉移館藏

      • 「找不到借閱者」 若借閱者號碼不正確

      • 「找不到館藏」 若館藏條碼錯誤

      • 「館藏未借出」 若還入可借出的館藏

Offline circ tool for Windows

The Offline circulation utility can be downloaded at: https://github.com/bywatersolutions/koha-offline-circulation/releases

To generate a borrowers.db file for loading in to the Windows tool you will need to run the file generator via a cron job.
