These values can appear in any MARC field, but Library of Congress recommends the 521$a (Target Audience Note). Whatever field you decide to use you must map the word agerestriction in the biblioitems table to that field in the Koha to MARC Mapping. When cataloging you can enter values like PG 13 or E 10 in the 521$a and Koha will then notify circulation librarians that the material may not be recommended for the patron based on their age.

When such an item is selected, an additional date selection box is displayed to allow the user to specify the due date for all on hold items that are to be renewed.

  2. In the Circulation > Renew alert screen. When a barcode of an on loan item that would ordinarily fulfill a hold request is entered, the usual alert is displayed indicating that the item is on hold, it is still possible to override this, and renew.

Valeurs :

• Don’t prevent

• Prevent

Example: Your library has a $5 limit set for “fines” (i.e., after incurring $5 in fines, a patron can no longer check out items). A patron comes to the desk with 5 items to check out (4 books and a video) The patron has $4 in charges already on their account.

  • If the preference is set to “Use the calendar to skip all days the library is closed” then the due date will be pushed to the 27th of December to accommodate for the two closed days.

  • If the preference is set to “Use the calendar to push the due date to the next open matching weekday for weekly loan periods, or the next open day otherwise” the item would be due back on January 1st.

• Autoriser

• Ne pas autoriser

Setting this value to « Don’t allow » will prevent anyone from overriding, setting it to « Allow » will allow it. This setting is important because it determines how strict the libraries rules for placing holds are. If this is set to « Allow », exceptions can be made for patrons who are otherwise normally in good standing with the library, but there is opportunity for the staff to abuse this function. If it is set to « Don’t allow », no abuse of the system is possible, but it makes the system entirely inflexible in respect to holds.

Valeurs :

• Ne pas permettre

• Activer

Description :

• This preference enables Koha to email the library staff whenever a patron requests an item to be held. While this function will immediately alert the librarian to the patron’s need, it is extremely impractical in most library settings. In most libraries the hold lists are monitored and maintained from a separate interface. That said, many libraries that allow on shelf holds prefer to have this preference turned on so that they are alerted to pull an item from the shelf.

Valeurs :

• holding library (holdingbranch)

• home library (homebranch)

Default: home library (homebranch)

Description :

• This system preference determines whether a hold should be filled in priority by an item currently at the library the hold will be collected from (holding library option) or by an item whose home library matches the pickup library (home library option).

• Setting this preference to “holding library (holdingbranch)” will help minimize the number of items transferred between libraries.

• This preference may be of special interest to library services that float items (who have set the Return policy in the Default holds policy by item type to either “Item floats” or “Item floats by library group”). These services will likely have many items whose holding library does not match the home library.

• This preference can be used either on its own or in conjunction with the LocalHoldsPriority, LocalHoldsPriorityPatronControl and LocalHoldsPriorityItemControl preferences. After checking LocalHoldsPriority, Koha will look at HoldsQueuePrioritizeBranch to decide how to fill the waiting holds.

  Note

  The difference between HoldsQueuePrioritizeBranch on one hand and LocalHoldsPriority, LocalHoldsPriorityPatronControl, LocalHoldsPriorityItemControl on the other is that the first only affects which item is chosen to fill a hold, whereas the latter apply to which patron is given priority in getting that item.

StaticHoldsQueueWeight, HoldsQueueSkipClosed and RandomizeHoldsQueueWeight

Asks: Satisfy holds using items from the libraries ___ (as branchcodes, separated by commas; if empty, uses all libraries) when they are ___ ___.

Valeurs de HoldsQueueSkipClosed :

• open or closed

• open

Valeurs de RandomizeHoldsQueueWeight :

• in random order

  • If StaticHoldsQueueWeight is left at the default Koha will randomize all libraries, otherwise it will randomize the libraries listed.

• in that order

  • If StaticHoldsQueueWeight is left at the default then this will use all of your branches in alphabetical order, otherwise it will use the branches in the order that you entered them in the StaticHoldsQueueWeight preference.

Descriptions:

• These preferences control how the Holds Queue report is generated using a cron job.

  If you do not want all of your libraries to participate in the on-shelf holds fulfillment process, you should list the the libraries that *do* participate in the process here by inputting all the participating library’s branchcodes, separated by commas ( e.g. « MPL,CPL,SPL,BML » etc. ).

  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 ».

  If you want the burden of holds fulfillment to be spread out equally throughout your library system, simply enable RandomizeHoldsQueueWeight. When this system preference is enabled, the order in which libraries will be requested to fulfill an on-shelf hold will be randomized each time the list is regenerated.

• Values are from the LOST authorized value category

Par défaut : aucun

Description :

• These system preferences are used to enable the automatic overdue item loss process. Leave these fields empty if you don’t want to activate this feature.

• Setting the values to “Lost” and 30 for example will mark the item with the “Lost” status after the item is 30 days overdue.

• These system preferences are used when the longoverdue cron job is called without the --lost parameter.

• These system preferences allow users to set the values of the longoverdue cron without having to edit the crontab.

Attention

Prior to Koha version 23.11, you have to enter a numerical value in DefaultLongOverdueLostValue, representing a lost status in the LOST authorized value category.

DefaultLongOverdueSkipLostStatuses

Asks: When using the automatic item loss process, skip items with LOST values matching any of ___ .

Valeurs :

• Values are from the LOST authorized value category

Par défaut : aucun

Description :

• This system preference works in conjunction with the DefaultLongOverdueLostValue and DefaultLongOverdueDays system preferences.

• When lost items are not marked as returned and if the library is using DefaultLongOverdueLostValue/DefaultLongOverdueDays or the long overdue cron job, they are still subject to the long overdue cron job. So an item that has already been marked as lost may automatically roll to “Long Overdue”. A library may not want that lost value to change. This becomes especially important with the introduction of claims returned, which uses a variety of lost statuses.

• Leave this field empty if you don’t want to skip any lost statuses.

• Set to a list of comma separated values from the LOST authorized value category, e.g. 5,6,7.

• If the system preference is set to “require confirmation”, the item will not be checked out and the staff member will have to click either “Yes, check out”, or « No, don’t check out » to confirm.

  

• If the system preference is set to “do nothing”, the item will be checked out as normal without any notification to the status.

SIP2SortBinMapping

Asks: Use the following mappings to determine the sort_bin of a returned item.

Description :

• This system preference is used to set the “sort bin” or CL response for SIP equipment when checking in an item. The mappings entered here will determine which bin the SIP sorter sends an item to.

• This system preference must be filled with a specific syntax.

  • Each mapping should be on its own line.

  • Each mapping should be of the form

    branchcode:item field:comparator:item field value:sort bin number
    

    where

    • “branchcode” is the library where the checkin is being performed (i.e. library assigned to the SIP user)

    • “item field” is a database column in the items table

    • “comparator” is the type of comparison, possible values are:

    • eq (is equal to)

    • < (is less than)

    • <= (is less than or equal to)

    • > (is greater than)

    • >= (is greater than or equal to)

    • ne (is not equal to)

    • “item field value” is the value to compare against the value in the specified “item field”

      Note

      Specifying “item field value” with a leading $ and an item field name will use the value of that field in the item for comparison.

      For example, $holdingbranch will compare the item field to the item’s homebranch.

    • “sort bin number” is the expected return value in the CL field of the SIP response for an item matching the rule.

Astuce

The mappings will be taken into account in the order the lines are written, starting with the top one. Think carefully about the logic your mappings should follow and which order to write them in to achieve what you want.

Mapping examples

CPL:itype:eq:BOOK:1

This will return sort bin 1 for an item of itemtype code “BOOK” returned to the library with branchcode “CPL”.

CPL:itemcallnumber:<:339.6:3

This will return sort bin 3 for an item with a callnumber less than 339.6 returned to the “CPL” library.

CPL:homebranch:ne:\$holdingbranch:X

This will return sort bin “X” for an item returned to CPL where the holdingbranch is not equal to the homebranch (i.e. any item belonging to a different library than “CPL”).

Version

Before Koha version 23.11, each line can only have one “item field” mapping. From 23.11, each line can use multiple item fields mappings.

Having multiple item fields mappings allows for more refined sorting rules. For example, instead of only sorting by item type, a library may now sort by item type and collection code and not for loan status.

There is no limit on the number of item field mappings that can be used in one line.

CPL:itype:eq:BOOK:ccode:eq:TEEN:5

This will return sort bin 5 for an item with the itemtype code “BOOK” and the collection code “TEEN” returned to the library with branchcode “CPL”.

Use case

Centerville Library (branchcode “CPL”) has SIP equipment which sorts returned items into 4 bins.

• Bin number 1 is for CPL items to be shelved on floor 1 (items whose location code is “FLOOR1”).

• Bin 2 is for CPL items to be shelved on floor 2 (items whose location code is “FLOOR2”).

• Bin 3 is for CPL items that require specific attention, e.g. they need to be checked before shelving or they are part of a specific collection. The CPL stock team is currently recalling the floor 1 Parent collection using this bin.

• Bin 4 is solely for items that need to be transferred to other libraries (items whose homebranch is not CPL).

Here is the content of their SIP2SortBinMapping system preference.

# Items to be transferred go to bin 4

CPL:homebranch:ne:$holdingbranch:4

# CPL toys, special stock and Floor 1 parent collection go to bin 3

CPL:itype:eq:TOY:3

CPL:notforloan:>=:1:3

CPL:location:eq:FLOOR1:ccode:eq:PARENT:3

# Other floor 1 CPL stock to bin 1

CPL:location:eq:FLOOR1:1

# Floor 2 CPL stock to bin 2

CPL:location:eq:FLOOR2:2

Note that the mapping for bin 4 is at the top. This ensures that items to be transferred to other libraries are dealt with first; the next mappings will therefore only concern CPL items.

Comments are added to the preference by inserting a hash sign at the beginning of the comment line.

UseLocationAsAQInSIP

Asks: Use ___ for AQ field in SIP protocol.

Default: homebranch

Valeurs :

• homebranch

• permanent_location

Description :

• This system preference allows you to decide which item information is used as the AQ response for SIP equipment.

• AQ is used in automated sorting bins, for example, as the item’s “permanent location”. For some libraries, that might mean the item’s home library, whereas for others it might mean the item’s permanent location.
