<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Joann,<br><br>i use Koha for the community library at the township i live in. See https://www.pustake.org<br><br>Here's some patron attribute types i added for our own use:<br>a) i added a 'drop-down' list of neighborhoods for the particular residential complex the member lives in<br>b) And a 'drop-down' list to designate members as one of {resident/tenant/employee}, since we have all of them in the township<br><br>I eventually plan to pull reports that will tell me how many members are residents or tenants, from a particular area, etc. Maybe we can use those reports to decide to reach certain parts better, for example.<br><br>Though i haven't tried pulling a report yet, i am pretty confident that can be done from within Koha by creating a custom report or by just running straight SQL on the database.<br><br>Thanks and regards,<br>
