<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi Steve,<div><br></div><div>There are several consortia I am aware of that are implementing Koha, including but not necessarily limited to Northeast Kansas Library System (my system), Southeast Kansas Library System, Central Kansas Library System, INCOLSA, MASSCAT, WALDO, ICAN (Ohio), and Big Country Library System (Texas). INCOLSA is maintaining a Koha consortia discussion list at <a href="mailto:koha-consort@incolsa.net">koha-consort@incolsa.net</a> . Please feel free to contact INCOLSA and sign up for that so you can post questions. </div><div><br></div><div>We operate in a shared database environment in which users can place holds on items in all participating libraries. Libraries are essentially treated as branches. Individual have individual policy profiles except where only one global setting is allowed, but as much as possible they agree to share consistent policies regarding item types, circulation periods, etc. Libraries also use collection codes to identify collections within their libraries. Feel free to look at our OPAC at <a href="http://catalog.nexpresslibrary.org/">http://catalog.nexpresslibrary.org/ </a> and our project web site at <a href="http://www.nexpresslibrary.org/">http://www.nexpresslibrary.org/</a>.

There are some things that need to be installed by hand. Specifically it says "Install libssl0.9.7 ( Needed For Yaz ). Hardy has libssl0.9.8, but yaz won?t install with that one. We need to download the older version and install it by hand. (2.1mb)."<br><br>If that doesn't do it, review the steps in this document and see if there is anything you missed. Also, it may be that you need to switch to an older version of Perl. <br><br>There are some other guides, the links can be found on the Koha wiki: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php <br><br>Best,<br><br>Doug<br><br><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>Message: 4<br>Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2009 13:27:58 -0500<br>From: "Dennis Begany" <dbegany@humancentereddesign.org><br>Subject: [Koha] A question about Accessibility<br>To: <koha@lists.katipo.co.nz><br>Message-ID: <00ca01c98563$f9b6c0d0$ed244270$@org><br>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"<br><br>Hello;<br><br><br><br>I am new to KOHA.
