Please forgive me if this is an incorrect use of this forum, but I am looking to install Koha for use as the ILS at my small, alternative school and I am a bit overwhelmed. I have an IT guy who is well-versed in the programming side of things, but I want to make sure that I communicate with him best about how to set things up to fit my needs. Has anyone created a "Koha for Dummies" tutorial? Or is anyone out there in a similar situation with a small collection (>500 titles) who is using the basic features (cataloging, Z39.50 for acquisition, circulation and OPAC) and can give me some tips? We have no budget to contract with anyone (i.e. LibLime) for training or tech support in the initial stages. I appreciate your help! Gayle Prentice Wood Mt. Scott Learning Centers

Hi Gayle Thanks to the wonderful Brooke, there is exactly that kind of documentation here http://www.pakban.net/brooke/ Chris
I second Chris' suggestion. If you can't find what you need in the Newbie Guide, then check the manual: http://sites.google.com/a/liblime.com/koha-manual/Home which I tried to write for newbies as best I could :) --- Nicole C.
