Download the Koha Offline Circulation Module. You can find a link on http://ckls.org on the Pathfinder Tips and Tricks page. (There is a shortcut on the right column of the home page.)

Once the module is downloaded, follow the installation wizard’s instructions.

You will only need to download and install the module once.

To Check out:

Open Koha Offline Circulation Module (KOC).
Make sure the Issues tab is selected.

Tab to the Item Barcode Box.
Scan in your items.
After you have scanned in all the items for this patron, click OK.
A save window appears. Select the folder you wish to save in. (i.e. create a Koha folder in My Documents).
Rename the file to something you can easily remember (i.e. the date—Sept13 or 9-13-2011 or your choice)
Click save. From now on, the KOC will automatically save to this file.
You can check out to more patrons (Repeat steps 3-6). Each time you click okay, the information is added to the file you just saved (Sept13).
You can also save by going to Fileà Save As (in the KOC menu). Here you can rename the file and change the saved location.

To Check In:

If it is not already open, Open KOC.
Select the Returns Tab.
In the box, scan in each item to check in.
When you have checked in all the items, click ok. This new information is added to the same file you created when checking out (Sept13).
You can check in more items as they arrive. Each time you click OK, the information is added to the file you just saved (Sept13).
