Hello there, my name is Josef, we are currently about to implement our first 1600 books for the Future Library Vienna (Austria) in our Koha setup. Many thanks to Nicole Engard here, most of what I know about Koha I learned from her ByWater Solutions Koha Introduction Videos. I tried to reserach my following topic, but could not find any answer that gives clarity to my question. We are setting up a library that has a main library and some branches. The circulation is mainly closed within the branches, but books can also be returned at other branches. We also have temporary branches. Our big question for the Data-Implementation is: How / where do we best assign the items? One Library, several branches? Is Branch synonymous with Library? How do we best do for easy (mostly voluntary) administration and good overview? There is some posts in the list already touching the topic of libraries and branches, but I do not really get clarity by them. Sometimes both terms are used synonymous, sometimes they seem distincted. ___ Libraries and Branches | what is the difference, what is the similarity, what does it mean administrationwise? thank you heaps, josef *Mag.
