11 CLOSED STACK MANAGEMENT

This chapter in Alephino includes the following sections:
  1. Define the collection(s)
  2. Assign Item to Closed Stack
  3. Request Item
  4. Print Call Slip

11.1 DEFINE THE COLLECTIONS

To define the collection, use the Web Service Module / Menu Setup Services / System Configuration - Parameter "Collection storeroom" (= File ../etc/alephino.cfg, line Storeroom) 
(Circulation)
Storeroom = 00004
Storeroom = 00005
..
Enter the Table code of the collection here. For example 00004.
You can repeat the Storeroom line, that is to say several collections can be defined as storeroom.

11.2 ASSIGN ITEM TO CLOSED STACK

To assign an item to the closed stack, you may use the Items tab of either the Catalog module or the Circulation module. This item must have a collection,defined as Collection-Storeroom

11.3 REQUEST ITEM

When a patron requests a closed stack item through the Web OPAC, a hold request will be placed for the (available) item. When you click on the "I am waiting in the library" checkbox, the item is delivered to the reading room.



If the checkbox is blank, the book will be with the other hold requests and the patron will receive the following message " The item you requested is now ready to loan". (see Hold Requests chapter )

11.4 PRINT CALL SLIP

The library must have a PC, which has a standard printer (Windows-Standard printer) in storeroom and on which the Alephino Client is setting. The Print-Daemon will be started in Task Manager (Menu print Daemon / Print Daemon activate). The Daemon controls each 20 seconds, whether or not the requests are here (e.g. it controls, whether or not the storeroom.xxx file is available in ../temp directory ), and it print it. The period can also be changed from Menu Print Daemon / Print-Daemon-Setup. For more information about Druck Daemon please see the Task-Manager chapter.
