I agree that there is a definite divide in the type of people that
subscribe to this list. Many are the actual programmers and tech people
that are into the actual "innards" of programming and tweaking
Koha.<br><br>
The rest of us are librarians and staff that could be defined as
"users". We have a wide array of computer skills with using the
program, practically, but not the underlying structures. How do you best
run an overdue list, what field is appropriate for the ISBN, where do you
put volume numbers so they display, etc. are the type of questions we
encounter.<br><br>
There is an overlap, of course. Some folks are in one-person situations.
We all have common interests in the capabilities of Koha and future
development.<br><br>
So, yes, I agree that maybe we need two lists, but I would miss SOME of
the interplay between the two camps!<br><br>

Hello,<br>
My library is preparing to migrate to Koha, and I’m trying to make sure
we have enough support in place for the librarians and staff who will
have to develop new procedures and workflows. I’ve been reading
this mailing list in web forum from time to time, and it seems to be
mainly for administrators. I was wondering <br>
<br>
a) Can I request that a new list be
started? And<br>
b) Are there people on here who would be
interested in this list?<br>
<br>
I’m thinking it would be for technical services library workers who could
share how they accomplish certain goals, or could ask if they’re having
trouble figuring out how to do something. (I know that’s
vague. Specifically, right now, our Serials Librarian is curious
about how the predictions work in Koha.) Of course, if there is an
existing resource you can recommend, that would be great.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
