Hi all. I'm peripherally involved with a local primary school (I host their website, manage email, help out with tech support etc.) I'm told that they pay something of the order of $400 per year for Catalist to manage the collection in their one-room library. This strikes me as excessive. I'm investigating the possibility of installing Linux on one of their rather old Pentium boxen and running Koha. I'm quite comfortable with the Linux admin side of things, and with SQL, but know absolutely nothing of library cataloguing systems. I have some questions which I hope developers or experienced users might answer for me: 1. What is the absolute, barest minimum hardware you would consider installing Koha on, given that the database is not likely to be very large? 2. Will most older barcode readers work with Linux + Koha? 3. How difficult is the conversion going to be from Catalist to Koha? Is there any kind of automated conversion (possibly via MARC), or would they be stuck re-scanning everything in their library? 4. Are there any other primary schools in New Zealand running Koha who might be able to comment on the experience? What I've seen so far is very promising, but I'd like a little more info before recommending the system to a school which is not exactly overflowing with disposable income ;o) Hard to argue with the price though. -- Cheers, Rich.
