Each Friday, we will bring you a new ByWater Question of the Week. We will select real questions that we receive and share the answers with you!

Question: Is the Interlibrary Loan Request Form in Koha Configurable?

Answer: Libraries allowing unmediated interlibrary loan requests from the Koha OPAC have asked if it is possible to make that form configurable, with certain fields required. That is not currently functionality supported by Koha, which uses a backend form to generate these requests, though the functionality has been requested.
