<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Dear Koha-Community,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">First of all, thank you very much for
a wonderful open-source library automation software.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We are setting up 'koha' in our office
library. As part of this, we installed 'Koha 2.0' and the DB being
mySQL on RedHat 9.0.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Here, we're having few concerns:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1. Is there a screen through which,
we can 'Issue a book?'. We tried and found a screen like that. But,
has not been able to figure out, how exactly, we say 'issue a book'</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2. Is it mandatory to use 'barcode system'
to issue books?. If yes, could you please provide any links/resources
from which we can have technical specifications of the barcode to be acquired
for the s/w setup.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Vijay</font>

large companies resembles downtown Calcutta in summer. We intellectualise
a lot in management. But if you walk into a factory or a unit , within
the first 15 minutes you get a smell of the place." - late Sumantra
