Would recommend you do the same, at least to see how it works. I've used Koha on a test server, not in action. That's probably more information than you needed! I'm looking into Neooffice and Bento and will try Koha this weekend. There's no point in doing all this work again if it's just going to turn out to be obsolete in a few years. Since I have the handwritten copy for the older books, and the cards for the newer books, I can enter the data into whichever program I end up using.īecause of the experience with Works Database files not being usable by any other program, I want to make sure that whatever I end up with can be used by other computers. Unfortunately, the most recent version of the database is lost, and the older saved copy is in Works For Windows Database format, which can't be opened by any other program, either on a Mac or a PC. I had been adding items a few at a time to the database I designed, and had close to 1000 items in the database when the crash occurred. WHen I took over the library, we had over 3000 items handwritten in an Accessions Book. A few people never fill out the cards, and quite a few, especially kids, put a first name and nothing else.Įventually, I'd like to have the library catalog accessible either by a computer in the library, or on the church's website, but I'm afraid that's way off in the future. Needless to say, a lot of books disappear, never to be seen again. The library is unattended most of the time. When a patron wants to take out a book, they fill in their name and phone number on the card and leave it in a basket for me. My library's circulation system is primitive at best.

Koha looks interesting, but it looks like I have to download and install a lot of files to get it to work.
