When I open Library Gold, I can only use the Quick Loans Query and Stock Search screens.
I cannot change the loan period. I have changed the default loan period, but it has no effect.
On a network, can I nominate a computer other than the network server to host Library Gold?
Is it possible to access Library Gold data via the Internet?
Q. When I open Library Gold, I can only use the Quick Loans Query and Stock Search
screens.
A. You need to login as an Administrator. Open Library Gold. When the Login
screen appears, click on the down-arrow symbol to the right of - Click OK - (see
screenshot). Select Manager from the drop-down menu. Then enter the default Manager
password (see the Quick Start Guide). You will now have access to all Library Gold
features.
Q. I cannot change the loan period. I have selected Tools | Options | Loans and changed
the default loan period, but it has no effect.
A. If member groups are activated,
the overall default loan period is overridden by the loan period settings for individual
groups, so it is these that you need to change. For more details, see Loan periods
and Due date calculation in Library Gold Help.
Q. On a network, can I nominate a computer other than the network server to host
Library Gold?
A. Yes, you can set any computer on the network as the “server” for
Library Gold, but this must be the only computer on the network in which the Library
Gold data is stored.
Q. Is it possible to access Library Gold data via the Internet?
A. Although a browser
interface for intranet operation is under consideration for future development, we
do not envisage developing Library Gold for Internet access.
Q. Can I re-use item and member numbers?
A. Library Gold retains book and member records
for a period after withdrawal or cancellation, so you cannot re-use their identification
numbers during this period. You can change how long data records are kept by selecting
Tools | Options | System Settings and changing the number of years under Keep data
records for.
