I think you are quite feasible to implement koha. We also use koha without commercial support and rely on community support. Since 2007 until now remained smoothly no problem. Early stage you could try koha live cd (see: http://mizstik.com/projects/koha-livecd/). If you feel comfortable you can install it on production servers. Basic skills you need to know only: 1. Linux operating system (I use debian / ubuntu, the steps provided in the documentation for installing koha on debian / ubuntu quite easily understood) 2. Web server (apache, etc..) 3. Database server (mysql / postgressql) 4. Knew little about perl programming. Suyadi library.ums.ac.id Solo, Indonesia Keogh, Matthew wrote:
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.
