Dear Koha Community, Need help. I have only just been appointed as Librarian to a Theological library and we have just installed Koha 3.4 to automate the collection and as of last week I have started cataloguing the 15,000 resources that we currently have. I need technical advise whether I should install the latest Koha 18 version or continue with version 3.4 and upgrade later. Luisa Korodrau
Hi Luisa I would stop now, the last 3.4 release was 7 years ago, it is very very out of date. And upgrading from a version that old will be very hard. If you haven't catalogued much already I would start with a new install of 18.11.04 and start with that. Chris On 2/04/19 11:17 am, Luisa Korodrau wrote:

Be reassured, your cataloguing done since last week is not lost. You should be able to dump the records in a MARC file and reimport it in the newer version rather easily. As well, having very recently done an upgrade from 3.0.2 simply using the Koha upgrade tool, I'd be very optimistic about your upgrade with only records to care about. Welcome to Koha!
