Hi Matthew, We managed to set it up at our small independent library in south London with precious little systems admin experience at the time. There's plenty of useful documentation and troubleshooting info available online if you run into problems. There's also a new(ish) email list for libraries in the U.K. setting up (or considering) koha: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/LIS-Koha. Happy to help if you have any specific questions about installation or our experiences with Koha. Cheers, Kate 2010/6/18 Keogh, Matthew <Matthew.Keogh@eht.nhs.uk>
Dear all
I work in a small healthcare library, based in a general hospital in west London with an expanding user-base and a diminishing budget.
We need a replacement for our aging DOS based library management system, but can’t afford a commercial solution.
Koha seems to fit our purposes, but I would appreciate some idea of how feasible it would be to implement on our own - without using vendors such as PTFS?
Two of us staff the library and we both have a reasonable level of IT literacy. We also have a supportive hospital IT department.
I would be grateful if anyone could share their experience of setting up and using Koha unsupported.
Many thanks for your help.
Matthew
Ealing Hospital Library
