Dear *,

when trying to convince someone to just have a look on koha and think about
switching to koha, I was asked, what installations of koha there are in
Germany.
I assume, there is one in Berlin, hi Dorian ;-), but are there more?
I think they fear to have no community to talk to, with their existing
system (Bibliotheca) they have annual user meetings and they can talk 
about with neighboured libraries.

And BTW, I was also asked about the supported cataloguing system (I am
a novice to this stuff ;-). The question was whether they would have
to learn the AACR (Anglo American Cataloguing Rules) or whether they
could use RAK (Regeln für die Alphabetische Katalogisierung). When
googling for information about cataloguing rules I had the impression
that there are many. Have cataloguing rules any impact on how to use
koha? If there is an impact, then how can we cope with national
cataloguing rules?

Any ideas?

Best wishes,

Ralf
