Greetings all. I was just asked by a friend to help set up her church's library with an ILS. They have a very limited budget, so they wanted to use a low-cost or free system. I recommended Koha, as from what I have seen it appears to be far and away the nicest Open Source ILS. Unfortunately, I have never used Koha, so I was wondering if there was anything anyone could suggest to familiarize myself with the system. I have not gotten a chance to install Koha yet, but I hope to do so this weekend. I guess what I'm really curious about is, what do people think is the best way to learn to use Koha, and what has worked for them? I have experience several years of experience as a programmer (primarily C/C++, but I do have some Perl knowledge), and I have worked in both cataloging and circulation departments at libraries, so hopefully there won't be too many concepts that I don't know. Just the mechanics of using the system. Thanks in advance. -- Jared Camins-Esakov P.S. Depending on the amount of work that is required from me, I probably won't be able to work for free on this project. Does anyone have any suggestions about appropriate pricing for consulting on a project like this? The library has about 2000 volumes, 2 volunteer librarians who may or may not be computer savvy, and no previous ILS. -- Jared Camins-Esakov E-mail: camins2@tcnj.edu _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
