What's distribution? Is that circulation - issues and returns
Yes, exactly. I'm not sure if that's the right term (I'm a computer geek, not a librarian) but that's what our librarians call it.
Ditto :-)
Yes does barcode scanning - am surprised by how often this comes up
That's what I thought. One suggestion might be to do a short "gee whiz" list of features on the web site bragging about Koha's capabilities.
good plan
Again, my apologies as I don't know what that is either. I'm sure I'll asking lots of "dumb" questions.
Not at all - those were things that other libraries were keen on, so wasn't sure if you were too :-)
The things I'm thinking of is types of interfaces for the scanners, models that can be used, everything like that -- as I said, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to library automation, bar codes, etc.
Yep the libarary uses a bar code scanner - that apparently plugs into the keyboard (does that sound familiar?) I'm not much up on the different sorts of scanner devices - but someone else on the list is bound to be :-) Just about to run away for the weekend - so may not answer more for a couple of days Cheers rachel _____________________________________________________________ Rachel Hamilton-Williams Katipo Communications WEBMISTRESS ph 025 300 825 or +64 04 389 1285 mailto:rachel@katipo.co.nz PO Box 7039, Wellington http://www.katipo.co.nz New Zealand
