Basic setup requires defining your library branch name, the item types
you have, the types of patron categories and patrons you wish to have,
your circulation rules (how many books for how many days to each
patron type) and finally a MARC21 framework - you can use the FA (Fast
add framework) or the default OR derive a framework from the default.
that is basically all there is. after words you can add reports. you
can find a bunch of ready made one at
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library

As always, when you doubt the Koha manual should be your first point
of reference, followed by the wiki and this list.

hope this helps

Re: [Koha] [Koha-devel] General IRC Meeting 3 August 2016 / Kohacon 2017 bidder information

2016-08-01 Thread Chris Cormack
Hi All

I just want to second Mirko's email about Kohacon17, at the moment we
only have the one bid (For the Philippines) as Kohacon was in Europe
this year
and can't be in the same continent within 3 years.
However there is a real lack of information, or contact with any
people in Philippines about their bid.
For example the  hosting organisations are named as the National
Library and Onstrike, but the community has had no contact with anyone
from either organisation.

So we really need either a mail to the list of them to show at the
next meeting. Also I would heartily recommend any organisation outside
of Europe or Africa (the last 2 continents)
to propose also. It isn't too late, but we do need an actual contact
so we can be sure things will happen.

Thanks
Chris

[Koha] Setting up Koha for a small open library

2016-08-01 Thread Krishna Ramamoorthy
Hi,
We would like to use Koha for a small open library of 100-120 patrons. Please 
let me know if there is any documentation available to set up Koha for the 
same. We are done with installation and would like to know the bare minimum 
parameters that need to be configured.

 
Regards,
Krishna
