|
00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on How to create a Library in Koha. |
00:07 | In this tutorial, we will learn how to:
create a library and create a Group. |
00:16 | To record this tutorial, I am using Ubuntu Linux Operating System 16.04 |
00:24 | and Koha version 16.05. |
00:29 | To follow this tutorial, learners should have knowledge of Library Science. |
00:35 | To practice this tutorial, you should have Koha installed on your system. |
00:41 | And, you should also have Admin access in Koha. |
00:46 | For more details, please refer to the Koha Spoken Tutorial series on this website. |
00:53 | Let us begin. I have already installed Koha on my system. |
00:59 | Let me switch to the Koha interface. |
01:03 | Log into Koha using the username and password given at the time of installation. |
01:10 | On my system, I had given Username as koha underscore library. |
01:17 | Now, type the Password that was noted down from the conf.xml file. |
01:25 | The Koha main page opens. |
01:27 | Note that while setting up Koha-, We should add the details of every Branch library that we will create in Koha. |
01:38 | This data is used in several areas of Koha later. |
01:43 | Now, let’s add a new library. |
01:47 | Switch back to Koha interface. |
01:50 | Go to Home and click on Koha Administration. |
01:56 | Locate the section Basic parameters. |
02:00 | Click on Libraries and groups. |
02:04 | To add a new library, click on the tab '+ New Library'. |
02:10 | We will skip the groups section, for now. |
02:15 | In this page, note that all the fields marked in red are mandatory. |
02:21 | Fill in the fields Library code and Name for your library, as I have done here. |
02:29 | Some important things to note are- there should be no space in the Library code |
02:36 | And, it should be less than 10 characters long. |
02:40 | This code will be used as a unique identifier in the database. |
02:46 | The next section is where we have to fill our library’s contact details like-
Address, phone number etc. |
02:58 | I have filled the details as shown here. |
03:01 | If you don’t have information for any field listed here, then just leave it blank. |
03:08 | Likewise, fill in your library’s details on this page. |
03:13 | The address and phone details can be used to make custom notices for your library later. |
03:20 | These details can also be used by members when they want to contact the library. |
03:26 | The Email id field is not mandatory, as you can see. |
03:31 | However, it is extremely important to have an email id for the library you create. |
03:38 | This is the email id from where the notices to the members go to and come from. |
03:45 | Gmail id is preferable as it can be easily configured for sending mail and/or receiving mail. |
03:54 | Below the Email id field, we have the Reply-To and Return-Path fields. |
04:01 | Reply-To- if you would like to specify another default email address for all replies to notices, you can do that here. |
04:11 | I will add Reply-To email id as stlibreoffice@gmail.com. |
04:20 | If this is left blank, then all replies will go to the Email id given above. |
04:27 | Coming to Return-Path- this is the email address that all bounced messages will go to. |
04:34 | If this is left blank, then all bounced messages will go to the Email id given above. |
04:42 | So, basically three different email ids can be used for |
04:48 | Email id , |
04:50 | Reply-To and |
04:52 | Return-Path. |
04:55 | However, if only one email id is provided then by default, Koha will use it for all the three fields. |
05:04 | Next, mention the URL of your library in the field, like I have done here. |
05:10 | On filling the URL field, the particular library name will be linked in the holdings table on the OPAC. |
05:18 | After this, we have to fill in the OPAC info. |
05:23 | This is where you have to put information about your library. |
05:28 | I have entered some information about my library here. |
05:33 | This info will appear in the OPAC, when we move the cursor over the library name in the holdings table. |
05:41 | If the URL for a particular branch library is put in this field then OPAC will tell us the branch library where the book is available. |
05:52 | To get the hyper-link address information, hover the mouse on the link. |
05:58 | This will give the address of the particular branch library where the book can be issued from. |
06:05 | Let’s switch back to the Koha interface. |
06:09 | Next we have the IP address. |
06:12 | If you want to restrict Koha admin access to a particular IP address then you can specify the IP here. |
06:22 | Else, you can leave it blank. |
06:25 | I will leave it blank. |
06:28 | Lastly, we have the Notes field. |
06:32 | This is where you can fill in any notes for future reference. |
06:37 | These will not be displayed in OPAC. |
06:40 | After entering all the details, click on the Submit button. |
06:46 | The name of the newly added library appears on the Libraries page. |
06:51 | In our case, Spoken Tutorial Library. |
06:55 | Let us now see when to use the Group Library option. |
07:00 | If you want to add a new group, click on the tab '+ New Group'. |
07:07 | Suppose you have a few branch libraries for e.g.- Chemistry Library,
Physics Library and Biology Library and you want to group them. |
07:19 | In such a scenario use the Group Library option. |
07:24 | Name this group as Science library which falls under the main library. |
07:31 | Grouping can be done on the basis of similarities and/or similar characteristics etc. |
07:40 | Logout from your current session as a Database administrative user. |
07:45 | To do so, go to the top right corner and click on No Library Set. |
07:52 | From the drop-down, click on Logout. |
07:57 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial. |
08:01 | Let us summarize. |
08:03 | In this tutorial, we learnt to-
create a library and create a new Group. |
08:11 | As an assignment- create a new library and create a new group . |
