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?
