Number of items borrowed

 Just wondering if you could help me print out the number of books that the children have borrowed this year to put into their reports. Thanks as always for your help.

F2 <S> Source Sample Library 117, or B4 I3 depending how you want it set out

Last borrower

How do I find out the loan history of a title and the last time that it was borrowed?   
 Firstly, weekly Housekeeping (B4 N4).

Go to Loan History – Title (B2 O2). You need to choose S = select and then in the “From” space type in the title (or as much as will fit), press Enter & in the “To” space type in the title BUT change the last letter to the next alphabetically. e.g. “From” = Selby snaps, “To” = Selby snapt. This is to give OASIS a range to search.

Edit borrower details

It is possible for you to Edit in Borrower Details. First go into System Parameters (B1 C1), select C = Circulation, Enter down to “Student/Staff Module Available” change it from “Y” to “N”, press Enter, then press Escape 3 times.

Then  go into Borrower Details, make the changes that you want. Thengo back into System Parameters and change the “N” back to a “Y”. (Otherwise when you do a Refresh nothing will actually be refreshed.)

Anyway if you Refresh Staff, then the staff member’s details should be changed to their new name and their loans will remain with them.

Borrower refresh

1) Having huge issues trying to refresh students at the moment.  It just isn’t working.  Can someone tell me how I can find out the next borrower barcode to make sure it matches with what is on the refresh students screen as it will not let me go past the borrower barcode to allocate.

From OASIS LIBRARY MANAGEMENT

Go to SYSTEM PARAMETERS – BARCODE

Next Barcode to Allocate: R00000

Next Borrower Barcode: B00000

Just type in the next borrower barcode here and all should work.Subject: Re: [Nswtl] “x” in borrower barcodes

2) When we refresh for new students, oasis is putting an x in our barcodes so they go B12345x348 instead of B12345j 3428 then when we go to zap the student new barcode in loans it will not work.  Then we need to go and change each barcode one by one etc.
I can vaguely remember this happening to me years ago in another school but can’t remember what the solution was!  I am thinking it may be the newish zapper at fault?
Also, OASIS seems to skip allocating random borrower barcodes here and there, why?

If you go to Refresh Students  (B4 P3),  one of the options is “match Barcodes to Admin Codes:  and you have say <No>.   It’s something to do with ERN.  It won’t fix the rotten ones already up, but it will stop any future problems with a new Refresh.
