[Koha] New to Koha, but very interested

[Joseph Hogan]

Hello All,

I already feel like part of the family:)

I like the answers that I have received so far!

I am already very encouraged.

I think that VMs will be the easiest way to deploy a new libraries.

I thought of another question.

Being that we will be promoting the inter-library loan concept, which is 
currently not available, but does it work for searching other libraries 
to find books?

Is there a way for the librarian to have access to multiple libraries at 
once when doing research to get the other books, or is this done one at 
a time at other other libraries in the system?

Thanks for yoru feedback

Joseph
