Under each title in the results list, there will be a series of values from the record’s leader (field 000).

This can be turned on or off with the DisplayOPACiconsXSLT system preference.
Below each title, there will be the availability for the items attached to the record.
Nota
Even if you filtered on one library location, all locations that hold the item will appear on the search results.

Custom RSS feeds
Using the RSS feeds cron job you can generate an RSS feed for any SQL query (for example a new acquisitions RSS feed). The cron job is run on the command line to produce an RSS XML document.
El resultado debería ser colocado en un directorio accesible para la interfaz web del OPAC (o administrativo) para que los usuarios pueden descargar el feed RSS.
Un ejemplo de uso se puede encontrar en: misc/cronjobs/rss.pl lastAcquired.conf
Normally the RSS cron job should be run periodically (e.g., daily) to keep the feed up-to-date.
El archivo de configuración (por ejemplo, lastAcquired.conf) incluye
nombre del archivo de plantilla a utilizar
ruta del archivo de salida
consulta SQL
The RSS cron job runs the SQL query, then feeds the output of the query through the template to produce the output file.
Importante
To use custom RSS feeds you need to turn on the RSS cron job.
OPAC self registration
If you allow it, patrons can register for their own accounts via the OPAC. If you have the PatronSelfRegistration preference set to “Allow” then patrons will see a link to register below the log in box on the right of the main OPAC page.
When the patron clicks the “Register here” link they will be brought to a registration page. The options on the registration page can be controlled by editing the PatronSelfRegistrationBorrowerMandatoryField and the PatronSelfRegistrationBorrowerUnwantedField preferences.
Once the patron has confirmed submitted their registration they will either be sent an email to confirm their account (if you have the PatronSelfRegistrationVerifyByEmail preference to require this) or presented with their new username and password.

give this patron category minimal circulation privileges in the circulation and fines rules (such as allowing a couple holds, but no check outs)
De ésta manera los usuarios tendrán que llegar a la biblioteca para verificar su identidad antes de proporcionar un número de carné y la habilidad de poder prestar algunos ítems; o la biblioteca tendrá que tomar políticas internas para la generación de números de carné antes proveerles a ellos el auto registro de usuarios. Una vez esto se ha efectuado, la biblioteca puede cambiar la categoría a una más apropiada (sea una adulta, residente, no residente, estudiante, etc.) y agregar un número de carné/código de barras.

Your recalls history
If your library allows recalls, the patron can see all their past and current recalls they have requested and their various statuses in the “your recalls history” tab.
The patron can cancel a recall by clicking the “Cancel” button, provided that it is not already awaiting pickup.
Curbside pickups
If your library offers curbside pickup, the patron will be able to see their scheduled pickups under “Curbside pickups”.
The patron has the option to indicate that they are outside the library by clicking “Alert staff of your arrival”.
The patron also has the option to cancel their scheduled pickup with the “Cancel this pickup” button.
If the “Patron-scheduled pickup” setting is turned on in the curbside pickup configuration, the patron will be able to schedule their own curbside pickup appointment.
The patron must first choose a library at which they want to pick up their items
Nota
Only libraries with curbside pickup enabled will be displayed in the drop-down menu.
Furthermore, if the “Enable for waiting holds only” setting is turned on, only the libraries at which the patron has waiting holds will be enabled.
The patron must then choose a date
Nota
Only dates with available time slots will be displayed.
The possible pickup times will be displayed, depending on the day of the week
Nota
The number in parentheses under each time slot is the number of available appointments for that time. If the maximum number of appointments has been reached, based on the “Maximum patrons per interval” setting in the curbside pickup configuration, the time slot will be greyed out and the patron will not be able to select it.
The patron can optionally add a note about their pickup
The patron must then click “Schedule pickup” to save their appointment
Purchase suggestions
If your library has the suggestion preference set to “Allow”, patrons will have the option to make purchase suggestions in several areas in the OPAC.
If you are allowing everyone to see the purchase suggestions made by others with the OPACViewOthersSuggestions preference, there will be a link at the top of your OPAC under the search box.
Habrá un enlace cuando el usuario no encuentra nada en su búsqueda.
There will be a “Suggest for purchase” option in the detailed view of a bibliographic record.
And there will be a link in the Your purchase suggestions tab in the patron’s account.
Al hacer clic en cualquiera de estos enlaces se abrirá el formulario de sugerencias de compra.
The informational text at the top of the form can be replaced using the HTML customizations tool, display location OpacSuggestionInstructions.
From the form only the “Title” is required by default.
Mandatory fields can be set using the OPACSuggestionMandatoryFields system preference.
The OPACSuggestionUnwantedFields system preference can be used to hide unnecessary fields.
The item type list can be edited by editing the SUGGEST_FORMAT authorized value list.
The “Reason for suggestion” list can be edited by editing the OPAC_SUG authorized value list.
You can change the text at the top of the form using the HTML customizations tool
Once the form is submitted the purchase suggestion will appear in the acquisitions module for the librarians to manage.
If a purchase suggestion has been ordered through the acquisitions module, the patron’s purchase suggestion title will be clickable and bring the patron directly to the ordered record in the OPAC.
Libraries
The “Libraries” page shows the contact information (address lines, city, state, zip/postal code, country, phone number, fax number, website) for libraries in the system that are set as “Public”.
The library name is a link to a specific page for this library. This second page also includes “OpacLibraryInfo” HTML customizations for this library.
Comentarios
Patrons can leave comments in the OPAC if you have the OPACComments preference set to allow this. Each bibliographic record has a comments tab below the bibliographic information.
Si el usuario ha abierto sesión con su cuenta verá un enlace para agregar un comentario al registro. Al hacer clic en este enlace se abrirá una ventana con una caja para introducir sus comentarios.
Una vez que el comentario haya sido escrito y se haga clic en el botón “Enviar”, el usuario podrá ver su comentario como pendiente y los otros usuarios verán que no hay ningún comentario nuevo sobre el tema.
Once the comment is approved the patron will see the number of comments on the “Comments” tab and their comment labeled amongst the other comments. If the ShowReviewerPhoto system preference is set to “Show”, the patron’s photo pulled from the Libravatar library will be displayed next to their comment.
Other patrons will see the comment with the name of the patron who left the comment (unless you have set the ShowReviewer preference to not show patron names).
If you have your OpacShowRecentComments set to show then you’ll see the approved comments on that page.
Desde esta página los usuarios podrán suscribirse a los comentarios recientes utilizando RSS si así les parece.
