David, The manual is more a usage manual. There is the Newbie Guide: http://www.pakban.net/koha/tut/newbie.html and the wiki (wiki.koha.org) which includes things like install docs (which are actually packaged with Koha) and other tips that you might be looking for. As for a small library, there are plenty of libraries using Koha just the way you want to. Nicole On Sat, Jan 30, 2010 at 9:06 AM, <david@lang.hm> wrote:
Recently the question of how to manage a large personal library (several of us have accumulated a few thousand books) came up on a sysadmin mailing list, and koha was mentioned as a possibility. In looking through the documentation I am seeing that it is a very powerful package, but I am not seeing good examples of how to get started for a small library. It's almost like the documentation assumes that you will be hiring a consulting team (or someone who has worked with it before) to do the initial setup and is mostly reference matrial for them to look up the details of a specific option. I am missing a 'getting started from scratch' type document.
Has anyone put togeather a sample config that could be used for a single-location library? it would need to track inventory and do checkouts, but not budgeting or inter-library loans.
