Hi, I'm Liesbet Mertens student information & library science at the University of Antwerp, Belgium. Currently I'm investigating library software. For that purpose I have a extensive list of questions.Although there's a extensive list of questions, the answers can be rather short The questions are made up in a way that they represent all the possibilities of library software. The questions are rather technical, and it is impossible for me to download all the interesting library software. I would be eternaly grateful if someone could help me with my investigation. Thanks in advance Liesbet Mertens

customizing Koha 2.0.0
by Stefanie Mohsennia 31 Mar '04

31 Mar '04

Hello all, we have installed Koha 2.0.0 at the International Library in Düsseldorf/Germany. It's up and running and we are now starting to customize the system. I don't know if this is the right place to ask questions that are not really technical, but rather geared towards the application. If there is a different list for "librarian questions", could you please point me in the right direction? Here are our questions that arose after our first customizing attempts: 1. I configured a membership category and assigned 10 as the fee to pay, but when I look at the membership record that has been created for the first member in this category, it says "Fee: $30/year". Where does this figure come from and how can I change it to the right amount which would be 10 EUR? 2. The date when the member joined the library was automatically set to 27/3/2004, the date when I entered the member's data. Also, the expiry date was set automatically to 27/03/2005. How can we change both dates to match our present expiry dates of memberships? 3. We would like to allow members to take books out for 28 days and allow 2 extend their loan period twice. Is it possible to customize the system according to our specification? 4. We have two different loan periods for DVDs and videos. The member can either opt for a three day loan or a seven day loan (the latter costs more). Is there a way to have this choice for the same item in Koha? I appreciate your support very much and am looking forward to receiving answers to our questions (I'm afraid these won't be our last questions, though). Best wishes from Germany, Stefanie Mohsennia

Koha 2.0 has been released!
by Pat Eyler 31 Mar '04

31 Mar '04

After a two year cycle of intense development efforts Koha 2.0 is now being released! Early release copies of Koha 2.0 have been deployed in libraries in France and the United States for over 6 months. With this new release, we expect Koha to be deployed in many more libraries around the world. Koha 2.0 is a major upgrade to the Koha 1.2 system, including features like: a fully templated web interface, translation tools and translations into french, chinese, and polish, and best of all ... full integration with MARC (both UniMARC and MARC21). Koha 2.0 can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=16466 With this release, we're making a change in the release managment for Koha. Paul Poulain, who managed the development of Koha 2.0, will be turning over the ongoing management of the 2.0 version to MJ Ray. Paul won't be sitting idle though, he will become the manager of Koha 2.2 development. Congratulations, and good luck, to both MJ and Paul. Too many people have contributed to Koha over the last two years to thank everyone individually, but we would be remiss if we didn't mention a few people who've made major contributions: Paul Poulain and Steve Tonnesen did the majority of the design for our new MARC database layout, Stephen Hedges and the Nelsonville Public Library funded a great deal of the MARC development, l'Abbaye Notre Dame des Dombes also aided the MARC work by providing a test environment during early development, MJ Ray coordinated much of the bug hunting and squashing effort, and last (but not least) Katipo Communications has continued to provide all manner of support to the Koha community.
