Description Dimitris Antonakis 2016-06-04 09:50:32 UTC
Currently when a librarian previewing a record in the opac interface and wants to edit that record, has to go to the staff interface, search again for that record and edit it.

It would be useful to add a staffadmin bar (IF a librarian is logged in) linking to the staff interface (cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/detail.pl?biblionumber=#) in order to edit the MARC record directly.

This is actually a pretty interesting idea that I've thought about a bit over the years.

I would love this!  I would love something like this because my coworkers come to me with a problem, and I have to use the OPAC to see what they're seeing--it would save me time if I could:
Go to OPAC
Log in
A Staff Admin bar/button/thingy appears
Search and see what everyone else sees, search the way they're searching
Notice problem(s)!
--Select Staff Admin bar/button/thingy
--Fix record(s)
Accept gratitude from coworkers!!
Bow humbly.

For other workflows, I could go to Staff Client and work magic, as usual.  But some sort of Staff admin bar/button/thingy that would allow me to get into editing bibs & items from the OPAC would be awesome!
