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 |
00:34 | To follow this tutorial, learners should have knowledge of Library Science. |
00:40 | To practice this tutorial, you should have Koha installed on your system. |
00:46 | And You should also have Admin access in Koha. |
00:51 | Please refer to the Koha spoken tutorial series on this website for more details. |
00:58 | Let us begin by learning how to add a Patron category. |
01:03 | Log in to Koha using your database administrator username and password. |
01:11 | Click on Koha Administration. |
01:15 | Under Patrons and circulation, click on Patron categories. |
01:21 | A new page Patron categories opens. |
01:25 | Click on New Category. |
01:28 | A new page, New category opens up, prompting us to fill in some details. |
01:35 | As mentioned before, note that the fields marked in red are mandatory. |
01:41 | I have filled out a few details here. Please do so likewise. |
01:47 | For Category type: from the drop-down list, select Staff. |
01:53 | For Branches limitation: select All Branches. |
01:58 | Next, click on Save at the bottom of the page. |
02:03 | The category name that we entered, appears on the page Patron categories. |
02:09 | In my case, it says Library Staff. |
02:13 | With this a Patron Category has been created. |
02:17 | Next, we will learn how to add a Patron. |
02:21 | Click on Home at the top left corner. |
02:25 | The Koha homepage opens with a dialog box prompting us to Create a Patron. |
02:32 | It is mandatory to create a Patron. Otherwise in database administrator role, some parts of Koha will not function. |
02:42 | As prompted in the dialog box, click on Create Patron. |
02:48 | Alternately, you may click on Patrons on the Koha home page. |
02:54 | I will click on Create Patron. |
02:58 | A new page opens. Click on the tab New Patron. |
03:04 | From the drop-down, I will select Library Staff. |
03:09 | A new page- Add patron (Library Staff), opens up. |
03:14 | Now, fill in the details required under the various sections like:
Patron identity Main address Contact etc. |
03:26 | I have filled out few details as shown here. |
03:31 | If you don’t have information for any field listed here, then just leave it blank. |
03:38 | Pause the video and fill in all details and then resume the video. |
03:44 | Under the section Library management:, locate the field Card Number: |
03:51 | Note that the number 1 is auto-generated by Koha. |
03:56 | Hence, you will see a different number on your Koha interface. |
04:02 | Next is Library. |
04:05 | From the drop-down, I will select Spoken Tutorial Library. |
04:10 | Recall: the Spoken Tutorial Library was created earlier in this series. |
04:17 | If you had given a different name, then choose that name here. |
04:22 | For Category, I will select Library Staff from the drop-down. |
04:27 | Under the section OPAC/Staff login, enter Username and Password. |
04:34 | Each new user should create a new Username and Password. |
04:40 | I will enter the: Username as Bella |
04:43 | Password as library |
04:46 | Again, enter the same password in Confirm password: field. |
04:52 | Remember this username and password. |
04:56 | This will be used a little later to give rights/permissions to a Staff. |
05:02 | After filling in all the details, go to the top of the page and click on Save. |
05:09 | A new page with the name of the Patron and card number opens. |
05:15 | In this case, as entered earlier, the page has Patron as Ms Bella Tony with card number 1. |
05:24 | To edit the sections, click on the Edit tab, located at the bottom of the respective sections. |
