Hello all, it's been an interesting few weeks implementing the Koha system for the libraries here. its now testing-live at http://library.janathakshan.net feel free to poke round and let me know what you think. there are a whole whopping 20 books entered so far. right now i am in the process of making patron cards and book cards since i am an IT guy and not a library guy, i would like to ask your opinion on what i should use as the barcode number for the books. currently i am thinking of just using the catalog number since that is what they currently use. but the current use of the library is in the "write patron's name in a big book and mark when returns it" i am looking at setting up something more robust and usable and scalable i would also like to know how to modify the patron card layout so it showshome library, patron name, membership type, number and then the barcode. i have tried modifying the layouts, but they all seem to do the same thing i am on koha3.0.1 does anyone have any ideas/pointers for me?
