Accession Lists and Labels
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello everyone, I'm looking for software to replace an antiquated DOS-based library system in a 1,500 book library on a shoe-string budget. It seems Koha could be ideal for this, however I wasn't sure if it offered two features we are looking for (yeah, really picky, I know!). Anyway - does Koha offer accession lists for inventoring books? Also, does it have anyway to print the labels that contain the accession number, Dewey decimal number, and so forth for books (perhaps through some addon)? It would be great if we could use Koha, I'd love to get rid of Windows on our client machine - and this would be such an ideal way to do that! Thanks a ton! -Tim - -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.

Hello Tim and everyone, Welcome to Koha. I'm not sure quite what you're wanting to do, Tim, but I can tell you that we produce Accessions lists of different types (children's, fiction, large print) for our readers. And it's possible to use SQL to get a list of pretty much anything you fancy. There are very few reports hardcoded into Koha yet, but that's only a matter of time... and energy! Re the labels: Katipo are developing software for us right now that will let us print Dewey labels. Ask them for a quote for anything else you want to add. On 18 Apr 2002, at 19:19, Timothy R.

Thank-you!

Well, our small resource center uses the lists to do inventory (so I understand, I'm just the computer guy who is learning a whole new world of library management. :-)). If I understand right, they take the accession lists (which our librarian also refers to as "shelf lists"), and use those once or twice a year to do a thorough reorganization to make sure everything is in the right place. Is this the kind of thing the existing reporting might be able to do?

That's true. It certainly makes Koha even more attractive then proprietary solutions since it should be possible to do just about anything with a little Perl scripting. :-) We just reviewed a library program, and besides it putting us over budget, I was also a bit uncomfortable being tied to one vendor's file format.
Re the labels: Katipo are developing software for us right now that will let us print Dewey labels. Ask them for a quote for anything else you want to add.
Hmm... that sounds like I might have had good timing then. When the software is done, will it be platform specific I assume? Might I ask if this is true, what platform you are having Katipo develop it for? Re: additional features, I will talk with our librarian and see what our exact requirements are and get in touch with Katipo.
