Hi,
I'm just about ready to start cataloging our church library (7000 books).
many christian libraries seems to be interested by koha.
Currently I have V1.2.3 running, but before I'll get stuck into it, I thought of asking some questions (I'm a real beginner when it comes to Linux and the library stuff).
1. How easy will it be to upgrade from V1.2.3 to V2.0. I guess what I'm trying to ask is whether databases will be compatible. I will NOT ask when V2.0 is going to be out :-)
I expect a simple script to run.
2. What is the recommended book bar code numbering scheme and what is the formula to generate the sequnce.
i've added in 2.0 version a specific parameter "checkdigit", that will help to know how to check barcodes for borrowers. In 1.2, katipo can answer ?
After my very brief 'fiddle' with Koha I was wondering if there were plans to add a boolean expressions to the Z3950 search form.
The z39.50 will be completly new in 2.0 series. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
