Hi, My name is Frances and I am a Library Technician representing Australian Water Environments. We are looking at setting up a Library Database and are in the preliminary stages. We are currently in the process of researching and looking at various library database systems. We have an excel spreadsheet to store information and have over 3,000 entries which include reports, books and journals. We also have a GIS Mapping electronic data and an excel spreadsheet for papers. We have a CD Collection and would like to be able to index and scan photos and integrate all forms of media into one Library database system for AWE. Cost is a factor. My question is can we set up a module or customise a KOHA database so that we can add inhouse reports as this is the bulk of our library collection and provide a link to the job nos. of the reports that have been archived? I know this is a rather obvious question but when I looked at the Acquisitions module it didnt seem specific enough for our company and was wondering if we can customise it to suit our needs. We have a separate Administration and Accounting process and most our our reports are created and produced by ourselves, Australian Water Environments. We are the vendor in most cases. Would you send us more information about the KOHA database including costs and licensing agreements. Also with Data Entry, how much data can be stored with ease of entry? Im just making enquiries at this stage. Thankyou.
