The answer to most, perhaps all of your questions is 'yes'. The manual will be your friend: http://koha-community.org/documentation/ Bob Birchall Calyx On 14/04/13 02:36, Malik Butta wrote:
Dear Colleagues,
I am part of a team that have been tasked to implement Koha in a Mid-east university library but we are new to the product. The customer has asked a list of questions that I have no ready answer for. I am sure some learned colleagues would be so kind as to respond to the list so that I can educate the customer and educate ourselves.
Many thanks in anticipation. The queries are as follows:
· What library modules or solutions does Koha provide or include?
· Can Koha modules be tailored to meet NITI library requirements?
· Is Koha compatible with different browsers such as Google Chrome, Firefox, ie, etc.?
· Does Koha provide access to resources and set up anywhere, anytime knowledge transfer with mobile and digital technology integration including iPhone and Andriod and e-readers?
· Does Koha provide tracking electronic resources from point of order through licensing and final access (e.g. magazine and newspaper holdings)?
· Does Koha provide automated alerts, notices and defaults?
· Does Koha provide customizable e-mail alerting systems (e.g. notices to managers when actions are expected or required)
· Does Koha have SMS and SharePoint functionality?
· Does Koha address the barriers to resources through one-stop access (single sign on), unifying searching and access?
· Can Koha be integrated with NITI finance system and trainee registry?
· Does Koha have Reading Lists capability that is integrated with the virtual learning environment (VLE) and e-material?
· Does Koha support Arabic text with client interface and Arabic search engine?
· Does Koha support range of user self-service initiatives – selfcheck, PC reservation/print management, and general patron authentication?
· Does Koha have Web-based ad hoc query tool that allows a library to develop detailed reports against its data?
· Does Koha provide Offline solution during system outage or system down?
