Test Driving Your Koha
Installation
We have completed the server setup and the application configuration. We are now
in a position to take our Koha installation for a test drive. We will look to complete a
transaction cycle in each of the primary Koha modules:
Patrons
Cataloging
Circulation
Acquisition
Serials
We will also test:
The reports module
The catalog search on the OPAC
Patrons
create, search, and view
patron record
Let us first create a patron record. A patron record includes the patron's personal
details such as name, date of birth, or address. Staff also need to specify the library
the patron belongs to and his /her patron category. A user ID and password for use
on the OPAC can also be set up.
