Integrated Library System Administrator
by Paul Sai 23 Jul '12

23 Jul '12

Good morning, We are a small library (60,000 volumes, no more than 10 loans per day), we purchased a server on which we installed the open-source software Koha Integrated Library Sistem. We write because we need some advice, maybe based on how you manage the system, as we should do a cost estimate for a professionist that should do the management of the server an of the Koha software. The professionist, ILS (Integrated Library System Administrator) of Koha, will have the responsibility to ensure the continued functioning of the whole system (Koha-Server), should take the same system upgrade, should do the program management of Koha through the System and Administrator Preferences Panel and should assistance to library staff in case of cataloging problems. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your support Thanks and Regards Paul Librarian -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Integrated-Library-System-Administrator-t… Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
