Hello. I am the sysadmin for a small international school in France, and we are considering using Koha. However, I do have a couple of questions. We have Windows 2K servers, and I have noticed that someone is working on a port. I am open to doing some testing and small fixes if the port is usable. If the port is not stable, what level of machine would be required to support a library of around 10000 volumes? Secondly, the librarian has asked me about doing inventory with Koha. How does one go about doing inventory with the Koha system? Thanks, Heath
Hello Heath, I can't answer your first query, but I can answer your librarian's question. To do an inventory, I would run a query in SQL. For example, if I was checking on books possibly missing, I would run a report listing all the books that were supposed to be on the shelf and that had not been issued in the last X months. Then go check the shelves for those books. It isn't necessary to do the whole library at once - you can select a chunk of stock that's manageable this week, and a different chunk next week. Hope that helps. Rosalie Blake Horowhenua Library Trust On 2 May 2002, at 10:04, Heath Robinson wrote:
