<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been interested in Koha for quite some time,
however today is the first time we have been able to get it successfully working
on our home network so I could access it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A few questions/comments:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Where is the publication
information to be entered? I am old school trained Library Technician and
when I catalogue information/document sources, etc I ALWAYS include the
publications details, such as Publisher, Place of publications and date of
publication (which for those who don't know is different from the copyright
date).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. The way of having to order
everything before adding it to the catalogue, is tiresome to say the least if
you are entering an existing collection into the system. Is there any way
of bypassing this without causing too many problems.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. Is there a way of not having a
default pricing for invoicing, if you can not by-pass the order system?
Again this is tiresome when entering an existing collection into Koha, as
pricing will not scale or is an unknown quantity, or the books value has
effectively been amortilised and is considered zero?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On an up side, for people who are not familiar with
library systems and the old card catalogues and the requirements to produce on,
it is quite easy to use, if you don't want to enter all the existing collection
into Koha.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Missy</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
