To follow this tutorial, you should have,
  • Koha installed on your system and
  • Admin access in Koha.

You should also have knowledge of Library Science.

Let us switch to the Koha login Interface.

Show Koha login interface

Username as Bella and

Password as Library@1.

Click on Log in

To add a new library, we have to login as a superlibrarian.

So, I will type the username as Bella and the password as Library@1.

From the library field drop down select Spoken Tutorial Library.

Now click on Log in button.

If you had given a different username and password, then type that.

Show Koha staff Interface The Koha staff interface opens.
Cursor on the interface. Now let’s add a new library.
Show Koha interface >> Koha Administration For that, click on the Koha Administration module.
Highlight Koha Administration

Go to the section Basic parameters

Click on- Libraries

The Koha Administration page opens.

Now go to the Basic parameters section and click on Libraries.

Click on tab + New Library Libraries page opens.

Notice the table here displays the list of libraries that are already added.

We can see the Spoken Tutorial Library listed here.

Recall that we had created this library during koha onboarding.

To add a new library, click on add New library tab on the top of the page.

A page with a form to add a New library opens.

Point to the red asterisk fields On this page, all the fields marked in red are mandatory.
Pause and fill in the details

Library code: CL

Name: Central Library

You can fill in the Library code and Name for the library, as I have done here.
Highlight Address section In the next section, we will fill in the library’s contact details like-

Address, phone number, etc.

Show the screen with details filled in -
  • Address line 1: MDU
  • Address line 2: Near Delhi Bypass
  • Address line 3: ---
  • City: Rohtak
  • State: Haryana
  • ZIP/Postal code: 124001
  • Country: India
  • Phone:
  • Fax:
I have filled in the details as shown here.

We suggest that for practicing you should enter the details as shown here.

For now, we will leave some of the non-mandatory fields blank.

Highlight Address and Phone We can use the address and phone number to create custom library notices.

These details can also be used by the patron to contact the library.

Highlight on Email id We should fill in the Email field even though it is not mandatory.

It ensures that the notices are sent to and from the correct address.

Highlight school.science13@gmail.com In the Email field, I will enter the following.
Highlight on Reply-To

Highlight stlibreoffice@gmail.com

Highlight

school.science13@gmail.com

In the Reply-To field, I will enter this email address.

This is the email where all the replies will be received.

If left empty, all the replies will by default go to the main email.

Point to Return-Path, field.

Highlight

school.science13@gmail.com

I will leave the Return-Path field blank.

This is the email where all the bounced messages will go.

If left empty, all bounced messages will be sent by default to the main Email.

Highlight on URL

http://mdurohtak.ac.in/library/lib_libraryprofile.html

Next, I will fill in the URL of the library as shown here.

On filling the URL field, the particular library name will be linked in the holdings table on the OPAC.

Highlight Pickup location Next, I will scroll down to the Pickup location field.

From the dropdown, I will select Yes.

That means the library is an available pickup location for holds.

It is the place from where the patrons can collect items they have reserved.

Highlight Public dropdown>>Yes Next, from the Public dropdown, select it to Yes.

Set to 'yes' to show this library as a search option and on the libraries page in the OPAC.

Highlight Opening hours Here, I am leaving Opening hours as it is.

These are used for hourly loans.

Click on the Submit button I will leave the other fields blank and click on the Submit button.
Highlight Libraries

Highlight Success message

Show the table and highlight the Central library.

This will bring us back to the Libraries page.

The text highlighted in blue at the top says Library added successfully.

So now we can see that Central Library is added to the list.
