[Koha] Howdy!

[Samuel Crawford]

Greetings, Koha Family!

My name is Sam Crawford. I am the Academic Librarian (and currently Acting
Director of Library Programs and Services) at Northern Marianas College in
the U.S. territory of Saipan, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands
(CNMI).

I'm fairly new to this profession and to Koha, and I find myself feeling
occasionally daunted, not so much by the "How do I...?" questions, but more
by the "Should I...?" questions. I long for guidance on general upkeep /
maintenance (i.e., "Make sure you're doing 'x' every week") -- a
check-list, of sorts, to make sure I'm taking care of this baby the way I
should be.  A list of suggested reports to create and/or run, to ensure the
data is squeaky clean, would be ideal.

At any rate, I'm looking forward to learning more about Koha, how to
maximize its use, and how to make it better, with the help of this
community and its various interest groups.  This email is a first step in
that direction, so if you have any
"I-wish-I'd-known-'x'-when-I-first-started-using-Koha"-type of advice, I'm
all ears!

Thanks, all!

Until next time,

Sam
