Kia ora everyone,

I’ve recently joined the list and this is my brief introduction.

I am the Library & Learning Coordinator at the Allan Bean Centre for Research and Learning in Rehabilitation at Burwood Hospital, Christchurch, New Zealand. The library is primarily for patients, their families and carers as well as staff and aims to provide good quality information resources for people recovering from serious injury or illness. At present we do not have a library management system or catalogue for our users. I’m looking very closely at Koha as a possible solution but we will need to look at some of the specifications more closely. One of which is having a Linux machine set up – and the minimum specification needed for setup etc.

I would be interested to hear from others in a similar situation for advice and suggestions etc.

Kind regards,

Bernadette Cassidy
