00:01 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial on how to create a Superlibrarian. |
00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn to- add a Patron category, |
00:11 | Create a Patron, |
00:14 | Create a Superlibrarian and |
00:17 | Give access to a Staff for a particular module. |
00:22 | To record this tutorial, I am using:
Ubuntu Linux OS 16.04 and Koha version 16.05. |
00:35 | To follow this tutorial, learners should have knowledge of Library Science. |
00:42 | To practice this tutorial, you should have Koha installed on your system. |
00:48 | And, You should also have Admin access in Koha. |
00:53 | Please refer to the Koha spoken tutorial series on this website for more details. |
01:00 | Let us begin by learning how to add a Patron category. |
01:05 | Log in to Koha using your database administrator username and password. |
01:13 | Click on Koha Administration. |
01:18 | Under Patrons and circulation, click on Patron categories. |
01:24 | A new page Patron categories opens. |
01:28 | Click on New Category. |
01:31 | A new page, New category opens up, prompting us to fill in some details. |
01:38 | As mentioned before, note that the fields marked in red are mandatory. |
01:45 | I have filled out a few details here. Please do so likewise. |
01:51 | For Category type: from the drop-down list, select Staff. |
01:57 | For Branches limitation: select All Branches. |
02:02 | Next, click on Save at the bottom of the page. |
02:07 | The category name that we entered, appears on the page Patron categories. |
02:14 | In my case, it says Library Staff. |
02:19 | With this, a Patron Category has been created. |
02:23 | Next, we will learn how to add a Patron. |
02:28 | Click on Home at the top left corner. |
02:32 | The Koha homepage opens with a dialog box prompting us to Create a Patron. |
02: 39 | It is mandatory to create a Patron. Otherwise in database administrator role, some parts of Koha will not function. |
02:50 | As prompted in the dialog- box, click on Create Patron. |
02:56 | Alternately, you may click on Patrons on the Koha home page. |
03:02 | I will click on Create Patron. |
03:06 | A new page opens. Click on the tab New Patron. |
03:12 | From the drop-down, I will select Library Staff. |
03:17 | A new page- Add patron (Library Staff), opens up. |
03:22 | Now, fill in the details required under the various sections like:
Patron identity, Main address, Contact etc. |
03:34 | I have filled out few details as shown here. |
03:39 | If you don’t have information for any field listed here, then just leave it blank. |
03:47 | Pause the video and fill in all details and then resume the video. |
03:53 | Under the section Library management, locate the field Card Number. |
04:01 | Note that the number 1 is auto-generated by Koha. |
04:07 | Hence, you will see a different number on your Koha interface. |
04:13 | Next is Library. |
04:16 | From the drop-down, I will select Spoken Tutorial Library. |
04:21 | Recall: the Spoken Tutorial Library was created earlier in this series. |
04:28 | If you had given a different name, then choose that name here. |
04:34 | For Category, I will select Library Staff from the drop-down. |
04:40 | Under the section OPAC/Staff login, enter Username and Password. |
04:47 | Each new user should create a new Username and Password. |
04:53 | I will enter the Username as Bella, |
04:57 | Password as library. |
05:00 | Again, enter the same password in Confirm password: field. |
05:06 | Remember this username and password. |
05:10 | This will be used a little later to give rights/permissions to a Staff. |
05:17 | After filling in all the details, go to the top of the page and click on Save. |
05:25 | A new page with the name of the Patron and card number opens. |
05:31 | In this case, as entered earlier, the page has Patron as Ms Bella Tony with card number 1. |
05:41 | To edit the sections, click on the Edit tab, located at the bottom of the respective sections. |
05:49 | Now let us learn how to give permissions to the Patrons. |
05:55 | On the same page, locate the tab More and click on Set Permissions. |

06:09 | Click on the check-box for (superlibrarian) Access to all librarian functions. |
06:16 | Then click on Save at the bottom of the page. |
06:21 | Now, Superlibrarian Ms Bella Tony, having access to all library functions, has been created. |
