Re: [Koha] Koha details/features
What's distribution? Is that circulation - issues and returns
Yes, exactly. I'm not sure if that's the right term (I'm a computer geek, not a librarian) but that's what our librarians call it.
Yes does barcode scanning - am surprised by how often this comes up
That's what I thought. One suggestion might be to do a short "gee whiz" list of features on the web site bragging about Koha's capabilities.
More specifically than that - it doesn't curently import MARC records as such
That's okay; as I said, I'm not a librarian so I don't have a clue as to what a MARC record is. :-) The tiny school libraries I'm dealing with are still using card catalogs, so I don't think they're using a 3x5 inch paper record. :-)
It doesn't currently do Z3950
Again, my apologies as I don't know what that is either. I'm sure I'll asking lots of "dumb" questions. The things I'm thinking of is types of interfaces for the scanners, models that can be used, everything like that -- as I said, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to library automation, bar codes, etc. Regards, .

good plan

Not at all - those were things that other libraries were keen on, so wasn't sure if you were too :-)

Yep the libarary uses a bar code scanner - that apparently plugs into the keyboard (does that sound familiar?) I'm not much up on the different sorts of scanner devices - but someone else on the list is bound to be :-) Just about to run away for the weekend - so may not answer more for a couple of days Cheers rachel _____________________________________________________________ Rachel Hamilton-Williams Katipo Communications WEBMISTRESS ph 025 300 825 or +64 04 389 1285 mailto:rachel@katipo.co.nz PO Box 7039, Wellington http://www.katipo.co.nz New Zealand
