Koha Search Shortcuts




Sometimes it can be useful to go directly to catalogue records if you know an unique identifier such as the record number, item number or the barcode.


There is a special syntax in Koha that allows you to do that:


Bibliographic record number sn: (eg sn:12345)

Barcode                         bc: (eg bc:18293-1001)




This will bring you straight to biblionumber 1234



You can also use this syntax for index searches (equivalent to command-line searching)


This is a list of the most common shortcuts
