Karen --<br><br>The discussion of splitting off lists into subsets of audience has come up previously, with most commenters agreeing that keeping things together is more important to the community than having a more narrowly targeted audience, even if this means reading additional messages of lesser interest. (The logical exceptions to this are the Koha lists in other lanugages.) <br>
<br>Your proposed use (tech services discussing Koha usage) seems exactly in line with the main purpose of this list. Your serials librarian will have a much better chance having his or her questions answered on this list than on any proposed fragmentary list. In short, I recommend you guys keep Koha discussions here unless something seems obviously broken. <br>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>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 </p>

</span></span>Are there people on here who would be interested in this
list? </p>
<p>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></p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
