Hello everyone, We are moving ever so close to our Koha installation and other web components. Things take longer than you think they will. I need to clarify a few more things for our IT & web people. Context: We will be hosting locally our instance on Debian Wheezy (with LAMP of course) and integrating the search functionality into our institutional library page as well as have a fully operational front-end to Koha by itself. 1. (a multi-part) Will we need to configure anything about the database (mysql) or turn-on/turn-off any functions in Koha before it goes live? I mean, will we need to arrange or configure any MARC specific fields in the database or will that all be set up with the installation itself (do we need to do any mapping of MARC fields to the database or will that be maintained by the routine of indexing over time?) - - 2. Are things like ISBD and MARC view, aesthetics of the OPAC and any links or images added to its front-facing portion all switched on in the admin client? 3. The varied plug-ins found of Koha instances in special and public libraries show the types of uses and discovery possibilities in the front-end of Koha. Are these plug-ins mostly added or appended in the directories or are they added via the admin client? Please don't hesitate to ask for clarification if needs be.
