Adding courses

Note

Only staff with the manage_courses permission (or the superlibrarian permission) will be able to add courses.

Once you have completed your set up for course reserves, you can start creating courses and adding titles to the reserve list.

Courses page, no courses

From the main course reserves page, you can add a new course by clicking the ‘New course’ button at the top left.

Add a new course

Your new course will need a department, number and name at the bare minimum. You can also add in additional details like course section number and term. To link an instructor to this course simply start typing their name and Koha will search your patron database to find you the right person.

Instructor search box with autocomplete

Once the instructor you want appears just click their name and they will be added. You can repeat this for all instructors on this course. Each instructor will appear above the search box and can be removed by clicking the ‘Remove’ link to the right of their name.

Instructor remove option

If you would like your course to show publicly, you’ll want to be sure to check the ‘Enabled?’ box before saving your new course.

Once your course is saved it will show on the main course reserves page and be searchable by any field in the course.

Courses pages, with two courses

You can customize the columns of this table in the ‘Table settings’ section of the Administration module (table id: courses page, course_reserves_table).
