[Koha] Introduction: New Koha Manager

[Caroline Cyr-La-Rose]

Welcome Michael!

I'm sure you know the SQL library for SQL reports : 
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library

I have that in my favourites for easy access. It's so useful!

If you need to tweak some of those reports for your particular 
organization, and you're not sure how to do it, you can ask the list or 
on the chat (https://koha-community.org/get-involved/irc/).

If you are on Koha-US mailing lists, you've probably seen the Koha 
Administration Special Interest Group meeting that's coming up next 
week. Could be interesting for you. 
http://koha-us.org/special-interest-groups/

And if you find that the manual is lacking on a particular topic, don't 
hesitate to report it in bugzilla with the keyword Documentation. The 
documentation team looks at those (sometimes!).

Welcome to the community!
