I have been asked by a small temple to automate the library system their. The system they are currently using has been made by a total dumb wit using MySQL as backend and VB for creating the frontend. THe code and the database organization is so bad it can bring tears to the most stone hearted of the developers. Anyways after doing some research on Freshmeat, I came across Koha and was struck by the elegance of the system. After I showed them Koha, they were very willing to shift their whole system to GNU/Linux and start using Koha. However as I do not know much about a Libray system I wanted to clear a few doubts about Koha before moving the existing system. If you can just point me the relevant web pages I will try to work out the rest myself. - Can the book numbers be generated by Koha? The librarian at the temple too has not much idea of managing the library, he is doing it as a social service. The library has started only a few days back and they have not numbered the books. So they do not have any preferences as to which system is used to give numbers to the book. - Some of the books have been donated. Can these be shown seperately when an inventory record is generate? Thanks in advance. Regards Raj Shekhar __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - forms, calculators, tips, more http://taxes.yahoo.com/
