  Well, our small resource center uses the lists to do inventory (so I 
understand, I'm just the computer guy who is learning a whole new world of 
library management. :-)). If I understand right, they take the accession 
lists (which our librarian also refers to as "shelf lists"), and use those 
once or twice a year to do a thorough reorganization to make sure everything 
is in the right place. Is this the kind of thing the existing reporting might 
be able to do?

  That's true. It certainly makes Koha even more attractive then proprietary 
solutions since it should be possible to do just about anything with a little 
Perl scripting. :-) We just reviewed a library program, and besides it 
putting us over budget, I was also a bit uncomfortable being tied to one 
vendor's file format.

  Hmm... that sounds like I might have had good timing then. When the software 
is done, will it be platform specific I assume? Might I ask if this is true, 
what platform you are having Katipo develop it for? 
  Re: additional features, I will talk with our librarian and see what our 
exact requirements are and get in touch with Katipo. 

  Thanks for your help!
