Library 2.0
the future of libraries in the digital age
does anyone use koha?
Is anyone using koha?
The IT guys where I work (a university) are reluctant to get into it. They seem to be afraid that the job of getting an open source ILS going would just keep expanding and in the end cost as much as vendor software. We have an open source webmail that they set up, but since then they've had cutbacks on staff. I was wondering if anyone has any experience about librarians and IT staff working together to get an open source ILS up and running? We'd have to convert all our data, because none of it is MARC!

Dear Georgia Katsarou
Well, KOHA ILS is being run in your library. Would you let me know about Reporting in KOHA. Is it easily manageable to make print out of a required report in KOHA or not? I've attended a workshop on KOHA ILS at Islamabad, Pakistan. The software is really wonderful but to me the most difficult this was generating a report of our own choice. -

Hi Sarbjit,
I strongly recommend you join the Koha Mailling list and post your specific questions there. People in the Koha community are very helpful but you do have to be specific about what your questions are.
To join the mailing list, go here: http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
And you may want to check the Koha documentation to get started. It's here: http://koha-community.org/documentation/

Hi there
Yes, I am using Koha. I think it is one of the best Open Source for Libraries. However, it's better runnig on Linux (Debian, Redhat, Ubuntu) than Windows OS. -
