Hi Thank you very much for Koha. I have been trying it out a little and have got enough of a sense of it to start capturing for our small NGOs special collection. 1: The one thing that is holding me back is not being able to figure out how the thesaurus should work. This probably immmediatly marks me as a non-librarian (which is true) although I do understand the concept. Unfortunatly none of the sample data packages seem to have anything entered here so I haven't been able to do by example. I wonder is someone would be kind enough to give a few examples of values that would logically fit together in a thesaurus (and perhaps definitions of "DIG" "RELATED" "FREE FORM" "AUTHORITY" "LIB" and "OTHER LIB"). Obviously a pointer to a web resource on these would be wonderful, but I am thinking specifically in terms of what they refer to in Koha 2 : Also: I assume the thesaurus values have an effect on the SUBJECT field: but what exactly? 3 : Off topic note: for a newbie the ability to switch themes made a vast difference in my learning curve: My organisation has a similar subject area to UNIDO and switching to that template really assisted in me getting a handle on KOHA (even if it is a bit incomplete!). More stock templates would really help different types of users get going I think. As soon as I have figured it all out I will try and contribute in this regard (could be a while though!). Once again thanks for the product.
