German community library project needs help
Hey there, i found out about koha several days ago and i am really impressed and would love to use it. Unfortunately i am not IT expert enough to do it by myself and i do not have a linux server yet. I would love to have some support the system up for a special case. I live in a network of villages that has close ties and we share a lot of things with one another. I wanted to create an online tool so private people in these villages can put their books in a database and offer them to be borought. It would be a decentralized library where you can browse the whole catalogue consisting of the books people insert in the database plus section for the place in which household this book can be found. It would be awesome if books can be put in the database by isbn number. I do have my own webpsace for several webpages and my question is if there is anybody who would help me with that? I would appreciate it that very much. Greetings from nothern germany Bastian Barucker -- Wildnisschule Waldkauz - Natur verbindet!

Years back, I used Delicious Monster to catalog all of my personally owned materials. The program’s apparently grown since I used it last, but uses barcode readers, allows for materials sharing, and has a web interface into your content. I’ve not tried it recently, so I can’t say if it would meet your needs. It should be noted, this is a macOS application (though, of course, the web view is visible to anyone with access to your server.) If not this, there are other programs out there that might meet your needs. Koha, though, is probably not it. :) https://www.delicious-monster.com <https://www.delicious-monster.com/> Aaron -- Aaron Sakovich Internet and Technology Services Manager Huntsville-Madison County Public Library 915 Monroe Street | Huntsville, Alabama 35801 | https://hmcpl.org/

Hey there, I'm in Germany (Stuttgart) I recently migrated our schools library to koha. I think the biggest problem why koha might not be what you are lookin for is that it is relatively hard (in not librarian speak) to add entries. So while it is easy when familiar with Library systems it is rather hard to figure out what to put where, when you just want to add four books, the drilling machine and the badminton set. Other than that the basic setup is easy. Just follow the instructions ;) installing ubuntu linux on a machine: (german) https://www.heise.de/download/blog/Ubuntu-fuer-Einsteiger-Download-und-Installation-3641146?hg=2&hgi=1&hgf=false or rent a VirtualServer with linux e.g. at contabo. (faster internetspeed, always on) installation instructions for koha: (german) https://zefanjas.de/wie-man-koha-installiert-und-fuer-schulen-einrichtet-tei... hope that helps I can also try to help you but Stuttgart is a long way from you ;) Franz Dietrich Am 29.09.19 um 16:52 schrieb Wildnisschule Waldkauz:
