Hello Eric (and all others that helped:)
Thanks for the tips. I understand the process.
I found a good example of setting up the z39.50 in KOHA. Seems straight
forward.
A couple of questions arise from this:
1 - can I assume that the z39.50 connection will updater itself, or this
has to be done manually?
2 - the records are searchable at the local library, but I would presume
that they are indicated to be located elsewhere?
3 - When doing a search, will their be options to only search at the
local library, or will all records be searchable at all times.
4 - The use fo Z39.50 depends on the target server to have a MARC
something or another. How to I confirm that this is turned on/set up?
The libraries will all be using KOHA in the network, as we set them up.
How do I turn it on/set it up if needed?
Thanks!

Been there, done that !

How are searches done for looking in an external library?
It actually depends on what you mean by looking for external library.
Koha doesn't /easily /support the search of external library out of
the box by the library's patrons through the OPAC (library's catalog).
However, librarians can set up Z39.50 targets in order to search
external libraries and import their records which speed up the
cataloguing process.

What if the library is not one of the branches in the local system?

Do the librarian have to look at each external library individually?

Hi,
Koha has inter library loan feature.
Yes you can search books from all branch libraries.

Hello All,
I already feel like part of the family:)
I like the answers that I have received so far!
I am already very encouraged.
I think that VMs will be the easiest way to deploy a new libraries.
I thought of another question.
Being that we will be promoting the inter-library loan concept,
which is currently not available, but does it work for searching
other libraries to find books?
Is there a way for the librarian to have access to multiple
libraries at once when doing research to get the other books, or
is this done one at a time at other other libraries in the system?
Thanks for yoru feedback

Hi Joe,
Here are my answers
1. Yes, you may, we use 1126 branches for one instutition, 6
for another, etc. Koha supports branches.
2. Yes you can, we use 3 database servers, 8-10 web servers
for big installation.
3. Yes, you can. You need the look at some coonfiguration
files. But I suggest you use a specific server for your Koha
insallation
and use the default values for future support.
Best regards

Hello,
My name is Joe.
I am writing because we are in discussions with a possible
college campus looking to update the searching ability on
the campus.
We found Koha and the features seem full and rich.
We have more technical questions about installing a new
library and sharing server with multiple libraries.
I will ask a couple of questions, and then follow up,
depending on the replies I get.
1 - The campus has more then one library on campus: 1 for
physical sciences 1 for medecine 1 for social sciences
How can this be treated? Can one installation cover for a
campus allow for the location data to include which
building/library, or even on which campus it might be
located?
2 - Can we run multiple instances of Koha on the same
server? I ask because any other the documentation that I
have read always mentioned 1 server, 1 koha. If this
works well for us, there are a couple of other libraries
interested in working with us. We want to under stand the
resources needed. 1 koha per server, or many per server?
3 - Can Koha be installed to run from a particular
folder? We already have our server up and running, and if
they can just be installed in a directory of a web page
installation?
This is just my beginning. We are trying to understand
the software in order to know what is possible or now.
Thanks!
Joe
