<html><div style='background-color:'><P>Dear Koha</P>
<P>We have received several mail from you since we signed up to be included in your mailing list and recognize some questions are being asked that are beneficial to us.</P>
<P>Is <STRONG>ResourceMate 2.0</STRONG> listed amoung your marc format for cataloguing or is it compatable with Koha? We are getting ready to build our OPAC and will need your assistance as we do not have a librarian with IT capabilities at this time. What should our first step be? We are looking at ResourceMate to see if we should invest in the software.</P>
<P>Our collection is mainly Multimedia material and we have a Title listing in Excel. How do we start to build our catalog online? Help please.</P>
<P>Regards and thank you.</P>
