<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi again,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After reading through some of the Koha
documentation, it seems more for large scale libraries. Would this software be
suitable for a library as small as 250-500 items? The software would need to be
installed on the personal computer of someone with a non library
background.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi there,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am investigating database/possibilities for a
small belly dance collection of about 250-500 items which rents out
material to continue to build the collection and wanted to confirm if one
can use koha to create monthly reports such as:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>revenue generated</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>overdue items with patron contact
information</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>shelf lists to export to patrons (I know regular
libraries do not normally provide this to patrons, but since this is a small
library...)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>number of checkouts by material type</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>top checkouts for the month by title</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was considering creating an MS Access database,
but thought I would look into what is already out there first, for library
software. I gather that since you have all the different modules that a regular
library has, this would be possible. Am I correct?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any help is appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
