Instructions for Koha's basic self checkout module.

Koha comes with a very basic self checkout module.  To use this module you have to log in as a staff member with circulation permissions.  See the Patron Permissions section of this manual for more information.

  • TIP: Create an anonymous staff patron for this action so that you don't leave a real staff client logged into a computer all day

There is no link to this module from the OPAC or Staff Client at this time, but it can be linked to in the templates or accessed via: http://YOUR_KOHA_URL/cgi-bin/koha/sco/sco-main.pl

  • Scan or type the barcode on the item being checked out

    • IMPORTANT: If the patron has any debt on their account they will not be able to check out using this module.  They will see the following error forcing them to go to the desk and see a circulation librarian
