I have appropriated one of the sort fields to handle homerooms. I've copies a template ( I liked npl ) and made such changes that the borrower details, and all the reports I've created, say homeroom instead of sort2. Also in connecting Koha to our Student Information System I have linked this field in particular to the advisor field in SIS. > > Do you contract any support out ie (LibLime) or are you running > totally GNU? I am the support for my district :) I am employed full time by WCSD with my primary responsibility being Koha. You could say we are running GNU. > > What automation system did you have prior to KOHA? Prior to Koha we had individual servers in each school running and older version of Follett software. There was a big push before I was promoted to full time and given Koha toward a Union Catalog system, and it was decided that Koha was the best option ( free is usually the best option ;) ). All new schools built, and a few of the others as it was necessary / requested by the librarian have been put on Koha. This is mostly for budget reasons. Also I don't want to force the remaining schools over to Koha. Let them increase my work load at their own pace. ;) > > Are you providing home access to your catalog? > I'm sure the OPAC is accessible outside the district, and the staff interface probably is also. > We are currently running Horizon from SirsiDynix and 67 > sites.
