[Koha] Very small library, low-end hardware

[Olwen Williams]

I have located my A/Rev extract from Catalist.  Have to remember how to 
get into Catalist and use it.  The Horowhenua  conversion was the last 
time I used A/Rev. although my day-to-day work is in MvBase which is 
linguistically similar.

Where is the school?  I extolled the virtues of koha to a contact who 
volunteers with a school library in rural Marlborough.  If you are 
within a day's drive of Blenheim I'll come and help with the 
conversion.  Otherwise I'll can take the data and run the extracts.
