Hi All, Hope you're all well - and Paul, if you're still on holidays - hope that you're enjoying your break. I was wanting to hopefully create some discussion on the list about the concept of a modularised borrower records system. Currently, I volunteer my time and resources to a school here in Melbuorne - and we've deployed Koha. I am partially responsible for the creation of the student reporting system also. In doing this, the last batch of student reports we noticed some anomolies in the data - because we keep so many databases at the school, and centralising would give us many benefits and interoperability with portals etc etc. Whilst it is the responsibility of the librarian to maintain the student records - it's my responsibility to ensure this doesn't happen again - and so, centralisation of borrower information (and modularility so those who don't want it don't have to have it) is coming to mind. Talking with Chris the other day over IRC, he seemed to agree that it is going to be a good idea - but extensive modification needed to many modules. I may be able to secure funding from the school for such a feature if it is to be included in the next release version, but I haven't discussed this with them as yet. So if there are developers that may be willing to put in the hard work for the benefit of the community at large, a small monetary reward may be available. There's a few more ideas which I'm planning for deployments of Koha on a much larger scale, but for commercial reasons can't mention here - but more details on that later on through the year. Looking forward to your thoughts. Thanks for your time. Luke Ottrey, Purple Lion Ph: 0408 675 648 Fax: +61 3 9886 7349 Email: luke@purplelion.com.au Web: www.purplelion.com.au
