I'm very new with Koha (and library cataloging for that matter) so please excuse my newbie questions. I'm helping a Japanese school in Canada setup a electronic library cataloging system and was considering using Koha since it's budget friendly and has a well established community. The school has about 4000 Japanese children's books and videos which needs to be catalogued and maintained by Koha. My questions: - Some of the books are very old but most have an ISBN number. Where can I download the book information so I don't have to manually input the info for each of the books/videos/etc. - Has Koha ever been deployed in a Japanese library? I've installed Koha on XP and Japanese characters can be inputted and displayed but will it search properly with Japanese characters? - Are there any "skins" or templates that simplifies or customizes the Koha GUI? - I'm assuming you can use a barcode scanner during check in/out of the books but are there any recommended bar code scanners in the market? Thanks in advance. Jeff
